Archer666 posted:I played a demo of 40k and Infinity and holy poo poo is 40k garbage compared to Infinity. Could be the smaller scale of engagement (40ks army vs Infinity squad based gaming), but everything in 40k seemed to take forever and involved a lot more dice rolling than it should have. It very much is a scale thing. Kill Team, the squad based version of 40k, takes like 45 minutes to knock out a game and it's actually kind of fun.

veni veni veni posted:Nice. I was joking I still really want to try it but the PS5 version is still $50. When it hits 30 or under I'm all over it. Good. There's supposedly gonna be another piece of DLC later this year where you play as some dude helping Kyle Reese get to the teleporter so he can save Sarah Connor. Gonna own even if it costs money this time. And speaking of Warhams, I played a bit of Chaos Gate a couple of months back. While it's slow rear end all hell it still manages to be fun. For a strategy game from 98 it holds up surprisingly well with a very intuitive controls and interface. And it obviously has the best music of any of those games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3jkpT9CSSg

I agree though anyone looking into getting into tabletop games and painting little fellas should maybe probably definitely avoid 40k tabletops.

I actually like hearing people tell small stories about their recent gaming moments, whether vidja or tabletop. It's dorky and adorable. It's only when they want to only talk about games or tell the entire plot to the game that it goes from charming to atrocious.

PinheadSlim posted:Executive : "Alright we have to decide between these two games to go forward with. The first one will be handled by an experienced development studio, it's much like the major hit game Dark Souls except you can play as several of the more popular units/factions from the 40k universe. Basically a re-imagining of our somewhat successful Space Marine game but there's more to do and the gameplay is better. Your thoughts, aging CEO?" This is apparently pretty much exactly what the former GW CEO was like.

I'm pretty sure the devs are having some kind of context to make the plot as incomprehensible as possible While also delivering it in presentation and a reading level that's clearly meant for children, and still having puddle-deep characterisation of all these anime pretty boys who the game almost exclusively focuses on in the latter half

That wouldn't really work given the nature of (most) Warhammer models, that is, you're explicitly meant to build and customise them yourself.

That seems WAYYYYY more profitable.

The only reason that more than like 11 people give a poo poo about Warhammer Fantasy right now is due to Total War. That game brought in so much revenue for them. It also effectively killed Age of Sigmar, which was great for everyone but GW.

It's pretty funny to me that every good game in Fantasy is set in the Old World and hardly anyone wants to make a game set in Age of Sigmar at all, much less a real developer who can make a good game.
