Why does anyone care about him in the first place? I really don’t understand why anyone gives this dude any attention, he seems like a loser that’s never accomplished anything.

It’s been interesting to see this agenda switch from D to R over the least 30 years in the US.

Wow, not being developed by Relic huh?

I tried the demo, couldn’t figure out how to do anything, gave up. Bit too alpha for me at the moment, I’ll try again when it’s further along. The demo is very rough

It’s a traditional roguelike with tiles…

Honestly yeah, graphics snob. I agree that if you played it for a few hours you’d get used to it.

I think it should also include a pony and solve the war in Ukraine

There are a lot of characters who are good people. A lot of bad ones too . A lot of the good ones you’ve previously pissed off so they start out barely putting up with you talking to them (and you deserve that treatment frankly).

It was very uncomfortable.

Apparently that chair is a common soft lock people hit.

Yeah, these are people who’s solution to the trolley problem is to refuse to touch it.

Wanting it for under 200 is part of why they don’t make them…

Who?

I don’t know anyone that plays fighting games. Who keeps buying these?

That was a pretty solid RPG. The first expansion is exceptionally good.

I had a friend try to sales pitch me on pre-ordering it back in 2012. I said “I’ll just wait for it to release”. Still waiting.

That sounds like paranoid schizophrenia

I mean he foolishly releases the bad guys because he’s arrogant, then he talks a big game and gets his ass kicked repeatedly.

Which character did you not like?

Yeah, it’s very believable that the tech is finicky and it’s very easy for it to look bad.

Plenty of people aren’t interested in vr for different reasons.

I turn off HDR whenever I can. I think it looks bad

Looks kind of like Left4Dead but Control

It’s evolution rather than revolution. Which is fine, not everything can be revolutionary.

Seems obvious

Ign gives everything a 9/10

Yeah, Chris (the Arcen guy) makes some great mechanics but “things that look appealing” is his big weak point.

It’s been a couple years since I played TI, so maybe they’ve improved it, but I think this is a lot simpler than TI.

Ign gave it a 7/10:

There’s one historical movie scene that comes to mind for me when I think about Sid Meier’s Civilization 7, and it’s not a flashy arena fight in Gladiator or mission control cheering as we safely bring Apollo 13 back home. It’s Leo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes in The Aviator, running his hand along an airplane fuselage and insisting that he doesn’t want to see any rivets.

Ouch

Does this get rid of the stagecoach driving?

I enjoyed this one a lot when it came out. The levels can be kind of repetitive and the game is on the shorter side but the story is good and it’s nice to hear the original actors.

After WoW had been around for a year or so, were you still unhappy about it?

Nah, I enjoyed WoW well enough for what it is. When WoW was announced there was a lot of skepticism on whether or not a company that was primarily known for their RTS games could make an MMO, along with a decent amount of “Who asked for this”. In hindsight I’m also a bit bitter that we never got and never will get Warcraft 4 though. To some degree Blizzard basically stopped developing games for a few years due to WoW’s success consuming the company.

Were most WC3 players unhappy about the announcement?

I think most of them would have preferred another RTS game.

Zero K is uglier but has a full campaign, more units, and is less micro intensive.

BAR has better graphics and tiers of units ala classic TA (zero K is flatter), and more active multiplayer.

They both have Total Annihilation as a distant ancestors.

As someone who played a lot of Warcraft 3 and really enjoyed the campaign before wow was announced, I was not pleased with the MMO announcement.

Aka “buy the rumor, sell the news”

You were okay with the child labor, forced 24 hour shifts, brothels, etc but draw the line at the tavern?

It’s possible (and common) to win without alcohol, but in some cases you’d be handicapping yourself.

Guess you couldn’t get into Frostpunk either if doing objectionable things in a game is a showstopper for you.

Heard it felt unfinished

Leveling systems come from pen and paper D&D, which was inspired from wargames where units gain experience.

Yes, theoretically Itch could sue them for lost revenue. Brandshield should be very afraid of Funko getting sued since getting your client sued can’t look good

Mask of the Betrayer was great

The first one was meh, the second one was good. Haven’t played most of the others but people seem to enjoy them.
