I see. I think FF15 may have more involved combat. Except for the twin stick shooter parts. I think I dig those the most so far

I'm gonna blame it on none of the level previews (so far) having any loops in them. CharlieFoxtrot posted:So Nier: A... I'm about four hours in. Does the combat get more interesting? Because it's definitely not hooking me in the same way Revengeance did. I'm playing on normal and I have gotten through everything basically by button mashing and holding down R1. If the difficulty bump just turns off lock-on and I take more damage, I don't think that would resolve any issues. All the weapons feel the same and all the enemies feel the same, and the fact that there have been multiple fights where it doesn't seem to matter whether I was doing badly or well but it just moves on because the next cinematic beat needs to happen, makes it feel even less meaningful. I guess I'm somewhat interested in pushing the story along but that's about it Sounds a lot like the original Nier!

Havent played the ticket to ride app. But i have to say, i like being able to spend 2 or 3 bucks to mess around with a board game concept. Especially since I know there's plenty of cool concepts that end up being meh and collect dust or a 60 dollar doorstop. Cosmic Encounters is my favourite board game in my limited board game experience.

I've come to the conclusion that everyone owns all of the new Hitman game, because no one can answer my question about if I can buy a single episode, then the bundle and not pay for that single episode twice.

Getting every item in the bundle separately was cheaper than buying the bundle.

I haven't played cosmic encounter, and I only know 2 things about it. 1. I've heard it is a very funny game with friends for the first 20 minutes and then it turns into a boring timesink where the same thing happens over and over for the rest of the game until somebody wins. 2. The tabletop simulator trailer for the official cosmic encounter dlc is absolutely one of the worst trailers I've seen for a game ever. http://store.steampowered.com/app/405130/

Thanks for the effort! (To explain why I'm such a miser I've only got enough cash left in my game budget this month for roughly twenty bucks, so I'd be stretching it and so it would have been nice if I could just get Sapienza for now and get the rest later, but nope. ... And stretching for the whole game is worth it, but I gotta waffle first, it's the responsible thing to do.)

In the early 00s they tried to get Cosmic Encounter Online to be a thing, it was pretty fun but never caught on even remotely, which is sad because it's definitely an S Tier party boardgame with tons of wacky fuckery.

Ah fair. Imho cosmic isone of the best games ive played in terms of getting what you put into it. There's different ways to set up what aliens you use that can really change how the game unfolds and its pace. The expacs also nicely maintain the base games design decision of having simple rule that can be significantly altered by the aliens. That said, i can totally understand point 1. My family i play with are all about rules abuse, from chess to DnD, so it really fits us. That vid is hilarious tho.

Every time I try to play that game I get annoyed because the rules are so hard to keep in my head along with how all the powers work and interact. I think the reason it probably didn't quite catch on was because if the huge number of powers and how the Poker aspect makes social play more fun. Then again, online poker was huge so maybe just the fact that it's so niche?

I know they'll never do it because it'd basically make their number one source of revenue obsolete, but I wish games workshop would make a warhammer 40k video game that's just Warhammer 40k. Being able to play that poo poo online without having to set up a million little dudes on a board and having the computer do the dice calculations for you would actually make it possible for me to ever play a game.

Nope. That's just a Total War game with Warhammer characters in it. The ruleset is Total War. And it's not even 40k.

I have thought about that and get the feeling that a fully digitized version of the game might be too shallow and show the cracks in it. I haven't played since like 5th ed so I can't speak for current 40k but it was not a particularly interesting game and really came down to army make up and just rolling huge amounts of dice. Still, it could probably still be fun and might actually get GW to come up with more interesting rules. I'd say WF Fantasy Battle was the more interesting game from a rules stand-point and Total Warhammer was actually a good fit for translating it into real time battles. The same could probably be said for 40k and Dawn of War.

Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl being released. CJacobs posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8pSmKliGUM The Pokemon TV show invented having the Pokemon say their names over and over instead of making animal noises because when it's just grunts and roars and cries of pain the whole time it really drives home how hosed up and brutal it is to have kids making their pets fight each other for entertainment.

I have a Night in the Woods question. When the game gives me a chance to hang out with either Gregg or Bea on a given day, am I missing out on content and having to do a second playthrough or do i just eventually see all the events with Gregg and Bea if i go back and forth between them?
