    Kingdom Come: Deliverance

    30 hours seems decent. Looking at Steam history I finished Skyrim in 20 hours. Just did the main quest and a few sides. Torment was 25 hours to finish first time on normal. All the Shadowrun RPGs were 20-30 hours, first time through, on normal difficulty.

    South Park Stick of Truth

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    ... and my first Steam refund ever lol. I have the same issues with this as Eve Online. I want to like it, I can see why people like it, but do not have the time or patience for a simulator. Gave it a try at least. ;)

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    This is $13 bucks on Steam right now until April 2nd. $31 for the deluxe edition with all expansion and season pass. I'm gonna pick it up. Looks like it works on Ultra-Wide rez. :lumie:

    Battletech

    I was in on Kickstarter Day 1. The combat-only beta was solid. Turn-based combat with a decent learning and skill curve. The campaign looks frickin awesome.

    Cloud Atlas (2012)

    Finally saw this since it's on Netflix. GF tuned out 10 minutes in. I turned it off after 30 mins. Seems like it could have been good but just didn't work. Google "Cloud Atlas sucked" for about 1000 explanations of why...

    What are your Top 10 games on Steam by Playtime?

    Below stats are pretty good estimate on how long it takes to finish a full game of some of the longer RPGs up on Steam now. I install a game, finish it, and don't install anything else until its done. I don't go for absurd achievements or ever do 100% of side quests. Grim Dawn - 193 hrs...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Here's a great rundown of the Mirror Universe timeline from all episodes involving it in other shows. FYI they are following TOS canon fairly close (at least on this) since Mirror Kirk was a tyrannical captain and Mirror Spock was a subjugated Vulcan given elevated privilege...

    Camelot Unchained

    Especially MMOG which is the most complicated game possible. Think about the *bare minimum* you need to develop and ship a game by type: + single-player only: (1) game executable, that's it + single-player with multiplayer additions (like say Borderlands): (1) game executable, (2) game...

    Stellaris

    Soooo .... Stellaris vs the Master of Orion reboot ... tried to get into the MOO reboot multiple times but got bored and uninstalled. Is this much better? MOO reboot seemed like a sure thing with the base game mechanics and quality voice acting talent. But .... just could not get into it.

    Doom/Stoner Rock

    Both these bands have heavy 1960's Sabbath, Hendrix, Santana psychedelic vibe. Solid albums.

    Doom/Stoner Rock

    Uhh yeah so, Tool + Mastodon + The Sword had a baby. Best metal release in any sub-genre IMHO in a looooong time.

    Justice League (2017)

    Finally saw this. Some of the reviews seem ... overly critical? Was better than any other DC movie save Wonder Woman or Watchmen. Thin plot and uneven but still entertaining. Some genuine comedy bits. The Flash-Superman interactions were awesome in the same way that the "can Hulk lift Thor's...

    Black Mirror

    San Junipero episode was one of the best pieces of recent sci-fi in any medium. It equally explores aging, death/dying, virtual reality, and consciousness like nothing else I've ever seen.

    Marvel's The Punisher

    MCU TV shows ranked by TomatoMeter. Punisher rank is complete horse shit because it has gun violence and was released behind the Las Vegas shootings. In my book was easily as good as DD or Luke Cage. Inhumans 10% Iron Fist 17% The Punisher 64% Defenders 74% Runaways 82% Daredevil 86% Agent...

    Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

    Agree with most of the above. Zero tension because everyone is a secret super ninja. Entertaining but basically a 1.5 hour long video game cutscene. But apparently that is what they were going for so can't really complain.

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    Will definitely be worth it if it includes the Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of The UnderDark expansions. Played through those from level 1-40 with roommates at the time and it was pretty epic.

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Was pretty awesome. Possibly the best looking movie ever. The world-building was fricking incredible. Everything was futuristic but realistic. Anyway, I don't buy a fucking single word of any "movie lost money" rumors. Ever heard of Hollywood Accounting? These are the same people that laughably...

    John Smedley hired by Amazon to produce MMOs

    Hmm wow. So how does it become possible to not have a hangover? I can drink 5-6 beers on Friday and Saturday no prob. But if I drank anywhere near a bottle I'd have a multi-day hangover and zero desire to look at alcohol.

    Starborne - MMO4X

    Definitely interested depending on time investment required. I got heavily into Lords of Ultima and Imperium Galactic War. Those games you could meaningfully contribute to the cause without a huge daily time investment. Also the 6-months and done seems like a bonus. Optional servers with lower...

    Witcher 3

    As mentioned above the GOTY edition is on Steam for $19.99. I only played the vanilla game on Xbox so picking this up. Amazing deal considering the expansions allegedly add another 50 hours of game, expand the world by 1/3rd, and upgrade the UI and graphics. Also can't wait to try this at 60+...

    Yeah, game is tough even on normal. Although I've never played a TW game before TW:WH. I won my first campaign in TW:WH barely on normal using Dwarfs, arguably the easiest race to play, and only after consulting extensive strat videos. Friend and I had a ton of setbacks beating the coop...
