I was thinking about getting a friend of mine with Gamepass to check out Wasteland 3 with me but reading through the reviews on steam it sounds like co-op is busted as gently caress right now.

I don't necessarily care that much about coop, but I guess I'll give the single player a shot on gamepass. Just too many games out now that I have to make a choice about which "free" ones I'm gonna download.

Just gotta keep walking down that road.
Crusader Kings III's initial reviews are up, off to a strong start on that front at least.

Better tutorials, richer experience, all the pre-release I've heard is good. I'm hyped.

Hell yeah, I'm sold on better tutorials. I learned more about playing CKII watching random youtube videos about getting started than what the game taught me.

Also free in game pass, which is... uh.

Game pass is really good I’m gonna be honest. I keep thinking I’ll cancel it but they keep giving me reasons not to.

Hypnospace Outlaw also came up on there recently.

Pretty sure they just make you buy the game/DLC if you want anything other than the base game. I'm not sure if you could buy the DLC without the base game if you have it on Gamepass but I'm not sure why you would buy DLC for a game you don't technically own.

You have to buy it, but I think there’s at least a discount.

I'm gonna end up buying it anyway because having a Pdox game as a perishable product is just stupid.

Yeah I am planning to play it on Gamepass for now, when the first DLC comes out I also assume the base game will be cheaper to get anyway (outside of the Xbox ecosystem because lol at buying an game inside that app)

Yup! Also i found out from the MSFS launch that you can change the region to Kiribati to get access to the game a day early. Looks like it should be available later tonight EST if you want to change the region. That is, assuming it works the same way it did for Flight Sim.

Steam is now offering the EA Play subscription at $30 a year or $5 a month. I may pull the trigger but I need to read more about what it gives you.

It confused me for a little bit because I mistook Origin Access for EA Play. They are seperate subscription models. I think what you see in the advertising page on steam is what you get.

That's right. You get some other stuff In their catalogue like the older Command & Conquer games. It used to be called origin access.

If it is now the same thing, I was expecting their other games to make it to steam. I recently had a hankering to play some Red Alert 2, but I can't find the CDs, was waiting to see what EA play would provide.

Pffft she gets the base game and she’s gonna like it!

I’d have to see how much she likes the 4 before getting any of that DLC that’s for sure.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Whatever "type" there is for a Sims 4 player my wife definitely falls into that category. She bought the knitting expansion pack the second it was available.

Looking at the Steam page there is no mention of older EA Sports titles (FIFA 20, Madde 20 etc), but you do get them on Origin. I think the 21 titles will be on Steam going forward.

Ah okay that makes sense. EA Access seems like the greatest hits then while if you want the rest of the catalog you gotta go to Origin Access. Not confusing at all!

Isn't the subscription connected to your EA account? You would probably get the full catalog if you log into Origin.

edit: or not.

Wasteland 3 first impressions: There's a part in the tutorial where you can instakill you entire party by attacking an enemy thus rendering the half an hour you spent on character creation useless as nothing is saved between completing character creation and making that fateful attack five minutes into the turorial.

Is it the enemy where the game literally tells you "We can't stress enough how much this enemy will gently caress you up if you try to attack it"?

Yeah the game is very clear about it, and if you look at the robot it has 600 HP and like 40 armor

Gyromancer: okay I'm on board with this game I love listening to podcasts/watching videos while working on finding all the stuff in each stage. Good puzzling!

They Are Billions: "the campaign is bad" everyone said well too bad I need to see how bad for myself. first mission was OK, kinda slow.

Dawn of War 1: mission two had a stealth sequence and it felt weird but then I had to kill five million orks and it owned, I love this game. just wish I could alt-tab without crashing it tho.







and finally:

DUSK: the shotgun reload animation is the terminator 2 flip and I am in LOVE :swoon:

Not during the opening fight (I tried), and like I mentioned it was not the gently caress-you-up robot (I hosed that one up).
