This game really did not click with me. I loved the theme, the artwork, the metal coins, the whole ‘prepare for raid, then going for a raid’ thing (which Francis Drake game does very well too), and I generally love worker placement games. But I intensely disliked the gameplay of Raiders. I hated preparing for a…

Great review. Scythe was my personal game of the year back in 2016 and both expansions have really added to the experience and vastly improved the replayability of the game (and it already had good replay value). Very excited for the third and final expansion that’s introducing a story campaign mode and other goodies!

I’d sign under each and every word of this not-quite-review of Ready Player One (the book, not the monstrosity that is yet to be unleashed upon movie theatre goers). It was a book that felt ‘meh’ after the first (and only time) I read it, and then the more I thought about it the more I hated, hated, hated it. Cline’s…

You can also cheese Gascoigne very easily in the first half of the fight, and even after he transforms you can get him stuck on a tree for a while. Also, once he transforms, molotovs will do a lot of damage to him so save those. Cheers and have fun!

I’m sorry but War in the North has significantly better gameplay than either Return of the King or Third Age and doesn’t retread the same well-worn path.

No, it’s inedible, you said so yourself. So don’t eat it. That way you’re not eating the “official” Nazi pizza, Papa John doesn’t get a dime from you, and you don’t get indigestion and a lifetime of regrets.

So is that like a third of the remaining WoW players at this point?

I never played the first Destiny, I jumped into Destiny 2 because I heard that the gunplay was good, there was a story this time around and it had a good cast. You know what? I played solo though the campaign and the side-quest adventures and had an absolute blast, sinking more hours into the game than nearly any…

You can download the rules for TI4 on FFG website. Speaking as someone who has played a lot of TI3, TI4 does not appear to be any simpler really. The streamlining comes in through refining some of the strategy cards to give more options and incentives to everyone and the tech tree being going and replaced with a…

Some great tips, a few I didn’t know about it. I still find how mods work in Destiny 2 confusing and I have a feeling I may have disenchanted a lot of gear with mods that I shouldn’t have had. I found getting to PL260 wasn’t really all that hard though. I did every public quest when I was nearby, I did a couple of…

Too late! Hoooooooooooly shit...

No Bastion? No Transistor? No Shadowrun? I are disappoint.

I mostly agree with everyone you say about the show. The Hand is a boring villain and we are not given enough to care about them. They hire some kids to clean up a crime scene? There’s some mention of their synthetic heroin again? They’re just really really EVIL? Sorry, but with the exception of Madame Gao I just…

So I hopped on Civ 6 last night, grabbed the Nubian civ too. So far I’ve encountered a lot of bugs, for some reason many non-Trader units now display caravan routes, sometimes the game wouldn’t let me change civics even when it’s prompting me to do so. Disabled all mods, restarted the game multiple times, problems…

Injustice 2 and Endless Space 2.

Totally agree. On anything less than Hard, the AI is a complete pushover. And on Hard, the AI is just more aggressive early on but still doesn’t know how to tech up properly or optimize their ships. And diplomacy is rubbish - I had the exact same reaction: why are they spamming me messages about alliances, or joining…

So much hatred for Ryuji! Yessssssss, let the hatred flow through you...

Pretty goddamn fantastic, especially now that there are more DLCs and patches that made the mid-game and late-game more interesting. There are still some balance issues (wormhole FTL travel is OP compared to the other two basic FTL travel methods, for example), but it might just be the best 4x grand strategy game at…

My wife and I played in an evil game (3.5) where all the PCs were devil followers of Asmodeus, his hit squad so to speak. We decided to create twin Erinyes sisters, both rangers, one archer, one dual-wielder. Our characters would finish each other’s sentences in-game, play creepy tricks on others, toy with our prey,…

Looks fucking scary and cool, like a Shadow or Vorlon ship from Babylon 5. How’s the game on PC, especially if I’m playing with a mouse and keyboard or a controller as I do not have the money or space to splurge on VR or joystick and throttles?
