Is it true that there’s no Steam release planned for this at the moment? Odd considering Microsoft’s recently willingness to port to Steam (Quantum Break, Halo Wars for example) and the fact that the majority of the AoE community is on Steam, as are all of the other games in the series.

I get that console exclusivity…

The DM might make you rival heads of Demogorgon instead.

Fond memories of playing as a green dragon in the old Council of Wyrms setting...then taking that dragon into a vanilla Forgotten Realms campaign and wrecking everybody’s shit. It took a rival red dragon to take him down. Good times.

No! What have you done!? I was sure it would be Augustus Gloop.

You’ve brought up a solid point about Horizon, beautiful, unforgettable experience that it is. For a game all about targeting specific, often very small body parts on enemies, the aiming controls never did feel quite responsive enough to accomplish this gracefully.

Maybe it is just a controller accuracy vs mouse &…

Make the World of Ruin great again

I would watch The Room first so you can get the most unfiltered experience of that unique movie. Reading the book or seeing the Franco movie first would kind of spoil the surprise.

So much to my surprise I’m at 97 hours in AC Origins at I’d guess 60% completion. How do you see completion percentage in-game?

I’m surprised because that 97 hours has flown by. It’s a fun, briskly paced game that - yes - does get repetitive, but not in the tiresome way some other opens worlds or even Assassin’s…

Publishers determine sale prices, so if they didn’t want the games on sale, they just wouldn’t submit a sale price to Steam/PSN during the holiday sale. No, this is more them not wanting the games available at all, likely due to the licensing issues Fahey mentions above.

I can still download Transformers Devastation on my Steam account. I believe that once you own a product (on Steam, anyway) you can download it and play it even if it’s removed from the storefront. Not sure about PSN.

Couldn’t be worse than the neon pink New Kids on the Block sweater my aunt gave me years after they were popular.

As much as I would absolutely LOVE to see both of these series on PC...I’ll believe it when I see it.

That makes sense. I sometimes similarly feel bugged by Jason’s “if you don’t agree with me, you’re crazy” tone (example: Suikoden II is the greatest JRPG of all time and if you haven’t played it yet something’s wrong with you. I have played it. I love it, but come on, man.)

In both guys’ cases I think it’s just their…

I hear you, but some of us appreciate a more critical voice because A) we’re getting older, our time is at a premium so we’d like to know what’s worth that time and what isn’t and B) someone like Kirk acts as a nice counterpoint to the gushingly positive reviewers out there (like Fahey, for instance) that often love…

Puts new meaning to “it’s bigger on the inside.”

They seem to be heading in that direction, but still aren’t past the “To heck with it. We’ll just hire a third party port house to barely port the thing with no optimization whatsoever. They’ll buy it anyway.” phase.

I noticed that but immediately followed up that observation by how awkward his body shape is. I think even if he were properly trained he’d still look like a lumbering goof.

No offense to Adam Driver. I’m a lumbering goof, myself.

As much as I applaud Square Enix for porting Romancing Saga 2, I’d feel better about it if I could get the Steam port to work. Controller functionality requires extra steps in your Steam settings and even then isn’t guaranteed to work.

As ugly as that FFVI port was, at least I could play it without jumping through…

I’m curious why Xenoblade isn’t appealing to you? Open-world setting aside, it seems like “JRPG the JRPG Part 2: The JRPG-ining.”

Not trying to criticize. I’m on the fence about it myself so input is helpful.

How is Fire Emblem Warriors compared to Dragon Quest Warriors II? DQWII felt like the most polished and “feature-intensive” Warriors game I’ve played so far, but still didn’t do enough to improve the end-game grind and in some cases - like weapon proficiency - actually made it worse.

So I’m curious about Fire Emblem…
