Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

Bf1 was kind of meh. Kind of like Battlefront, fun for a couple hours but that's it. Too many snipers also (what else is new) Just redbox it IMO. I already returned it

Would of been nice if they had more modes. Maybe a vehicle only one or air battles etc. Maybe they're adding that

The shotguns are a lot of fun once you figure out how to use them. So are mortars.

What's the trick with shotguns? I only played the beta but the times I did 95 out of 100 damage with a shotgun were way too loving frequent.

They're closer to actual shotguns than most games have, so the spread isn't stupid like in some games. They also have a stat in the customize screen that shows the damage fall-off for each shotgun, which is a nice thing to have.

guys civ6 isn't ringing my bell

i dont like the ui at all

The UI is awful. It's filled to the brim with useless information and it's drat near impossible to find out things that actually matter. Reading the map is a serious strain on my eyes. The new fog of war is really obnoxious. Telling the difference between flat and hilly terrain is way too hard. There's far too much busy clicking required to do extremely simple things, like managing your citizens.

Civ 6 is bad.

i like listening to sean bean at least

it took me ages to find the xp counter for units too
it does seem like they've dropped the ball on a few things. i paid loving launch price for it though so i'm gonna stick with it a while longer

Sean Bean is good but the quotes he reads are terrible, as if someone googled "famous quotes about x" with an emphasis on Winston Churchill and Mark Twain.

You like space games?

Fracture space finally got out of early access and redid the UI. The playerbase has gone way up as well because of the release.

I just played a few rounds and despite being a moba without npcs, it is still an ok game.

Snipers are a big annoyance, especially when they're all in single man locked squads on your team. I don't think they're unbalanced, though, since they invariably occupy the bottom of the scoreboard.

I'm a broken record at this point but I wish an FPS developer would just have the balls not to include any scoped weapons in their games. The kind of play they encourage is not fun for the majority.

I like the DMR in halo reach possibly because it's a four shot weapon which actually gives you a hope against it

Ask me about making more gold than I know what to do with each turn and clowning on 3 civs because they decided to declare war on me just as I entered the industrial age :getin:

Let's just say Redcoats and light cannon make short work of Hoplites.

Yeah, I'm annoyed at how it turned out. What annoys me more is most of the reviews are just fawning praise on it without any real criticism (surprise, I know). Though some of the Steam reviews seem to be on point about it.

I can see why it's enjoyable for some people, but I'm going back to Civ V till some patches hit or the first expansion. The UI is garbage and so is the fog of war.


Also, I got a work bonus and now I'm debating buying the BF1 season pass, cause I played a poo poo ton of that this weekend and I'm genuinely surprised how good it was on release compared to :dice:'s other releases.

God, I'm so tired. What the hell did I post last night?
I remember Civ V being pretty rough on first release too, and the less said about pre-expansion Civ IV the better.

Pretty par for the course. Probably still going to be a loving amazing game that eats all my time once they get it some tweaks.

So spent a good amount of time last night playing a game which is pretty much mount and blade command mode in a world of tanks game mixed with a loving horrible china UI.

It is really fun if you can get over the UI and translations.

You can punch out your windshield while driving, also I crashed into a tree and died. It took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to turn on the car and drive. Hoping today I can make it to the store to buy beer and sausages!

I'm weird though. Despite V and IV's issues at release, I loved both and poured in a ton of hours despite their faults before they were fixed and received really good expansions. The expansions for both made them all the more better. Hell, I even got like 60 hours of enjoyment out of Beyond Earth.

With this, I'm not getting that "ok, one more turn" feeling at all. I really hope it gets better with tweaks and what not, but so far I'm not impressed.
