    Star Wars Battlefront II

    Meh. Until they give up on trying to force Frostbite as the next AAA-Unreal Engine, nothing from EA is going to be worth purchasing. Nothing on Frostbite has been 'great' and every time the developers turn around and blame it on frostbite's limitations / complexity.

    [PC] Age of Empires IV

    Going strictly with the teaser coverage - I think at this point it's safe to say its going to be bronze -> Victoria. We saw Greece/Sparta, Rome, ?, Conquistadors, American Natives, and Conquistadors again. If you look at them fiscally, also makes sense with the AoE DE that it cover the same...

    Yakuza series

    I'm not sure which one I played or if it's Shenmue I'm thinking off, but played during the PS2 era and ended up getting lost within the first few minutes of the game as the quest journal was shit and the names of locations where I was supposed to meet people all ran together. I've always wanted...

    [PC] Age of Empires IV

    Announced recently: Probably a little early, but I thought someone here might know more. Makes you wonder how many of the assets from the AoE: DE are shared from IV or vice versa.

    XCOM 2

    I think you're right. Based on the TB-gushing video, that's pretty much how it sounded - an upgraded version of the EW "covert ops", but wasn't clear if you always had a follow on mission or only when things go sideways/target discovery.

    XCOM 2

    If it's anything like Enemy Within (which it heavily sounds like they are), they won't - no. You're going to be sending a solo character to act as a precursor to a follow on mission. Positive / Negative event - bam, you have a mission involving your agent. In Longwar, as targets arise you send...

    XCOM 2

    It's not a concern at all about the turnaround time to patch any broken mods. Just stating for all the great things they are doing, they ignored one thing that would instantly make everything even better. Besides turn timers, one of the more common gripes is that you're still limited to only...

    XCOM 2

    My only gripe, for all the mods they implemented into the expansion, it doesn't appear they took the coolest features of the modding community - Longwars Infiltration / Multiple Teams. Those two mods right there make the game infinitely better thematically and mechanically and would play right...

    Ash vs Evil Dead

    Just started finally watching this and about to finish S1. As a fan of the movies, it seems like the show is based off of the original ED and ignores ED2/Army of Darkness (assuming because of copyright)?

    XCOM 2

    I think that's one of the most complained about design decisions in the game. Wasn't surprised at the multiple mods that came out to address it. It's even worse with LW2 running - 8 rounds to hack a computer with 5 3+ mob pods between you and the computer. Hah!

    Assassin's Creed Origins set in Egypt

    I can't find a non-retard / hispanic crew crew, myself. Visually though I must not have my settings set correctly (at max) as the game doesn't strike me as gorgeous.

    Marvel Netflix: Defenders

    Couldn't make it through S1 DD, watched JJ and regretted it towards the end when drama-for-the-sake-of-drama took over, refused to watch LK, and Iron Fist. I wanted to go back to S2 DD for Punisher, but looking at the episode descriptions I couldn't really pick out which episodes would be worth...

    If you like RPGs a la Baldurs Gate, Never Winter Nights, Divinity: Original Sin, Tyranny, etc. Pillars of Eternity is definitely worth a play through or two, especially with the sequel about to be released. Just be aware that the writing and pacing is extremely depressing (not bad, just...

    I still need to go back and finish D:OS before D:OS 2. Is D:OS 2 going to be more co-op friendly than the first?

    Steam Early Access Gaming - Guilty Pleasure Pick-Ups

    I know some of us here have probably been burned or turned off by some of the trash on Steam's early access or the anti-consumerist aspects of what it represents. I know I can't be the only person that's gone through my Steam discovery queue to see something interesting and then only find out...

    Fallout 4

    I personally liked Skyrim's feel more and would wait for GOTY + VR. The only things that made this game fun for me were the mods and The Mechanomancer / Nuka-World DLC.

    Making an Classic RPG - best maps, dungeons etc.

    Fixed. AI got dumber with each iteration in the series (and less controllable). One of the level designs that always stuck with me was the FF7 over world / under world / dungeon subtly sectioning based off transportation methods unlocked at different points in the game.

    That's what I thought. I guess I need to do a clean install. Turning off my mods apparently didn't work.

    XCOM 2

    Trying to get back into this on commander difficulty since I never got to play through either of the DLCs. Three attempts so far and complete wipe on the first real mission after Gate Crasher all three times. Game seems more difficult since release when I beat it on commander. :/ Did either of...

    Still think TLD is better than ACoK. Also, lead modder for ACOK is a turd nugget.

    Command of War - Flash-Style WW1 Trench tug-of-war

    New version is pretty cool and I can access this one without the firewall blocking the download link. A+ would send Soldiers over the top to avoid gas/shelling again.

    Humble Bundle is running the Company of Heroes anniversary bundle. For $10 you get all 5 factions for CoH2, both campaigns, the DLC missions and CoH1. If you like WW2/RTS'S you should consider this bundle seriously and jump into the online scene on CoH2 or install it then turn around and hit...

    For Honor Ubisoft Feb 2017

    Got a few hours in. Definitely plays Beyer than it looks, but combat still breaks down to a steam roll or utter route. Even if you're doing well in a singular manner you can't do anything during a team break and your team is split up and dies 2-3v1. Have yet to see anyone win a 3v1 fight to turn...

    The D&D thread

    @Hatorade should have more recent experience from seeing it in his online sessions. But from my limited experience I would say if you don't address it it's only going to get worse. If the group doesn't rally with your solution/compromise then be ready to cope with it.

    XCOM 2

    Again, I don't see this working out well for a game that wasn't designed for it from the ground up (a la D:OS). Wrath and I played D:OS coop and had fun besides him always finding a way to kill me in boss fights. However, coop was a core design feature from the start. There's a lot more to D:OS...

    XCOM 2

    Game is balanced for 4-6 Soldiers. If the mod adds more Soldiers the game needs to be rebalanced. If the mod doesn't add more Soldiers what's the point of making me wait on someone else who may or may not be using the same strategy I am. Which brings up the issue of communication between...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    I'd say having you teleport the boss on my head while I was low hp and finishing off the two adds was a good point to take a breather from our original play through.
