Yes. You can live through wind. Nothing to fear here.

Native PC support for the superior wireless controller (XBox) is hard to beat.

In a city like Miami that's already technically underwater - no, no it's not. You'd be looking at Batman-style sandbag/wood/sealant armoring your entire house or 3/4s of your house for the majority of areas to protect from debris, weak seal points, etc from being underwater for long periods of...

Random Update - there is now a "Sparks Can Bond" mod. There you go - with 3 mods, Sparks are now up to speed in WOTC. :p

I would definitely push Tyranny any day over BG 1/2. BG was good for it's day, but even EE shows it's age. Tyranny's magic system is also the closest thing you're going to get to replicating what D:OS 1/2 does with it's elemental magic combos.

There's nothing for Spark bonds, yet, but there are several mods rebalancing Sparks. If you don't have them: Sparks with AWC Abilities // Metal Over Flesh Redux are two great mods. I don't have the Covert Ops mod installed, but I know there is one specifically for Sparks. Hearing mixed things...

Ladro/Zaphid, you two need to understand that WB Games has a legal department that is more than capable of supporting one of their contracted dev teams when they ask for help setting up a charity. You also need to understand that their parent group WB Studios Legal department is constantly...

Skirmishers are meant to be used around their abilities, not their gun. Being able to take 4+ actions after using their abilities to start a "skirmish" and granting an additional action to a team mate are where they shine. If you play them like Warlords from DnD 4.0 , you'll understand their...

It's more than just the lost. It's also reinforcements. It's Chosen Sanctuaries. It's Codex clones, Chrysalid babies, and Psi zombies. X-Com has several mechanics for spawning near infinite enemies. I mean that's obviously the game, but he's not wrong that it does get a bit lame after a while...

So does that mean Tekken becomes temporary king of the fighters? That's where I see a lot of people going. Or does something more "gamey" like Injustice / SSB?

Oh, you mean that same thing a ranger can do more consistently? Or that skirmishers get a bastardized version of? Oh, yeah - so unique, so wow. Don't get me wrong, having a better implemented PSI Operative (without any of the ranged utility, mind you) is cool and all, but my Maxed Templar isn't...

All in all, I think Reapers by design are just OP, especially in comparison to the other two factions. Then adding the random XCom abilities on top of things just makes it goofy. Super stealth allowing you to scout the entire map without any fear. Stealth kills / actions meaning you're never at...

From casual observation it seems like a lot of the semi-major names for SF are trying to find a niche in other games - is SF V that bad?

Tyranny is getting an expansion? I thought they abandoned the game. Glad to find out otherwise - was one of the better RPGs I've played in recent history.

How far into the game are you? The Shadow Chamber would have warned you. You're misunderstanding how the feature works, Gavin. After their initial appearance at a facility, just like the original story missions, they can randomly appear in any mission (I had Viper King on a a VIP mission). The...

Story wise it seems pretty obvious where they're going to go next. The real question is how do they get there in a compelling way. How do you get to XCom3 that involves a tech/experiences reset or what do you do to continue the arms race/fight again time? We "lost" the first game in order to get...

In actuality, yes. WOTC has some memory leaks, corrupt scripts, and some other things going on right now - not to mention not a lot of mods have updated yet for the expansion. If you're going to just be playing the base game then there are loads of things I would suggest. {Insert your favorite...

Using the photobooth for post achievement-cheesing is pretty fun. Finally got the Rookie achievement: Hopefully someone mods it in, but the photo booth needs some better filters and some smudge / sticker mechanics / write-on features. Being able to put some sharpie 'handwritten' notes on the...

If anyone cares, Creative Assembly Anniversary - all the non-TW:WH2 franchises are on sale to one degree or another if you want to pick up Atilla / Rome 2 on the Cheap or 30% of TW:WH 1.

Got to pay for that ASoIF license some how, folks!

Killed the Assassin and Hunter; starting on the Warlock now. She never used it in a fight, but sweet jesus that shotgun is nice! Did the Assassin with four (pre-gts) and then hunter with six for a definitely easier fight. 'Shadow' is fairly OP - had a couple of missions where I used my reaper to...

I wouldn't really call any of that spoilerish at all - not story related. I went with workshop, Resistance Ring, Power, Infirmary, Proving Ground, Workshop so far. GTS isn't really vital at the start anymore with how they do fatigue now. Four man squads keep the kills concentrated enough for...

Knocked out two hours so far - no glitches to report. No mods currently enabled.

Time to start your downloads, gents. 30 gigs Remember the fallen.

To be fair, the entire genre is one long stream of mediocre products. Total War has been stalled for the last 4 iterations and Civ for the last 2-4, so the bar you're setting is rather low.

Didn't see this.

Sorry, broski. The real show won the air waves. Joss can go back to sucking the Whedon family's collective dick.

I have to admit, I forgot that they do occasionally act as a production company - some of their productions actually have a decent narrative too! :oops: As far as coat-tailing a story... the LOTR and ASoIF are very different in terms of "world openness". Tolkien left an entire world with crumb...

I would have enjoyed a WH:F version of DoW 1/2.

Propaganda Center doesn't use XCom 2 mods. Sadness. Was going to make some Delta Squad propaganda tonight, but no dice without the armor mods.

It was pointed out in another thread - Bethesda does not have the writing capacity to be able to do a ASoIF game justice. While I'm all for a darker elder scrolls lite game for modders to play with, I'm pretty sure that's all this ends up being if it's actually true. The closest thing Skyrim...

I'm still curious how this is even a debate. The two screenshots are obviously using different texture maps. There was never a true intent to show an accurate side-by-side comparison. The message was: if you want the best looking game get the X-enabled or wait until someone hacks the texture...

This man speaks the truth. Anyone surprised by Sega /TW Studios gouging your wallet have been blind the last decade and a half. Then you also have Games Workshop that has also proven time and again the only thing they care about is the almighty dollar / BPS.

I'm just not sure what Age of Empires brings to the table anymore. With all the innovation and various mechanics that have been introduced in other franchises, I think it's probably going to be safe to assume that it's going to be a mediocre next installment. All we have is a teaser with no...

Based off the article I read, there is a chance that he will automatically be resurrected. For allies though, yes they need to be alive.

When I loaded into the character creator last night it only seemed like there was a human, elf, and dragon pre-made. So unless they're adding more it would seem like you could do them all on one run. In D:OS though they added two within weeks of release, so I would think that question is still...

I might be down - have you guys started looking at classes / roles yet?

Yeah, looking at the wiki it looks like I fell into the whole ED2 was a remake of ED1 "rumor" - I guess you can't trust what Bruce says 10+ years ago. Or what he says in regards to sequels?
