Interesting, I’ve held off on picking up PoE2 for that exact reason that PoE1 felt like a huge schmorgesborg of rpg ideas, but it didn’t feel like a cohesive focused one that could keep my interest. While PoE2 from what I understand makes major strides, your review and others have given me the impression that it still…

I actually somewhat agree with you. Setting the game as a direct prequel answers questions we already know and in ways we might not find satisfying. There could be a danger where they may very well make John’s story weaker. But under a skilled story teller it might not be bad and flesh out his background story to make…

Good job with actually investigating it.

While I really enjoy the WW1 setting “even with the weird experiential automatics everywhere.” I Can’t help but feel that BF1 could have been so much more. BF1 had an enjoyable operations mode to try and give context to the random chaos and an okay single player. But numbers have drastically fallen over the year and…

Everyone knows that the real villain of vermintide 2 is the sack rat. Only he can turn a clean champion+ run into a gibbering mess of loosely coordinated solo players with a simple uttering of the phrase, “Mine!”

This kind of does make me wonder now about an actual realistic take on if the War extended into the 50's.

Course that would also mean that the Germans probably somehow won Operation Barbarossa and knocked the Soviets out the war and the US didn’t join or remained just in the Pacific campaign.

But it would be…

In theory you could just tell the new rules to fuck off even though the old ones won’t be supported officially anymore.

I got out a bit earlier once I realized there were some x-pacs I was collecting just for the cards and not the models. That power creep makes it an almost collectible card game with minis attached.

It’s a fun game but I just couldn’t keep up with that constant meta shifting and FFG prices.

I went back to my old standby…

One thing I really like about the game is their scroll over definitions. As someone who doesn’t know the difference between your five successor states house davion to your periphery succession Wars whatever.

I’m just gonna say while D&D is fine. Nothing tops creating a character in the Warhammer Fantasy rpg career system and the craziness that can come out of that.

Month later I feel like wolfenstein 2 while a fun game was basically a disappointment from New Order despite its potential.

I enjoyed beyond two souls until it all fell apart by the third act as mystical nonsense made everyone stupid. (William Dafoe’s hyper acting made me laugh through the entire thing).

You basically the same problem Indigo Prophecy had.

Heavy Rain less so but there were elements of that happening too.

That’s a bit of a shame. Since comparatively speaking WW2, blops3, and Infinite Warfare were actually better than average campaigns for Call of Duty.

I can already envision how my local miniature nights will look now. I’m looking forward to frakking toasters everywhere.

The visual style of Rico reminds me a lot of the old game XIII.

I feel like we’re missing a “Discover the Past” option. Where you go through Good Old Games or an Abandonware site and play an old game that has a good reputation but is now considered to be quite old. In this way you discover if it still holds up under a modern untested experience or experience games you never would…

Congrats to them for making it so far for so long.

Holy shit, did you really just reply to a 5 year old comment just to argue about VO’s work versus dubbing?

Eh, I mean it looks alright.

I dunno, I was more excited back when they were trying to get weird with Spiderman games like Shattered Dimensions.

I’m a little bit surprised there’s no photos from the actual inside of the con or other organized cosplay shoots in other parts of the center.
