Huh, that's interesting. They really want people to see this season 2 stuff, even though most of the meaningful improvements aren't coming to the game until next year (according to the devs).

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Additionally, Diablo IV is free for all Xbox members from October 19 until October 22 (Game Pass Core / Game Pass Ultimate not required) with a 10-hour gameplay trial.

Starting this weekend, we’re introducing Timed Trial games in Free Play Days. Gamers want the hottest games in Free Play Days, and with Timed Trials, we can get newer games into the program faster. Diablo IV is unlocked for the duration of this weekend’s Free Play Days, but gameplay is limited to 10 hours.

Let's get drunk and kiss each other all night.
10 hour free trial thing was what EA did and was pretty good imo, gives you a good idea if it's a game you'd like to bother getting. Kept me from buying battlefield 2042 for full price that's for sure!

It loaded okay for me. I poked around a bit last night, really liked the movement.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.


It's fine, the Whiteout update is only like half an hour long. The new weapon's evolution is insane though, it's like a Sailor Moon transformation sequence.

I'm loving Lamplighter's League, I thought it'd be a hit, but there we go. If you got ShamePass, play it, it's 1920 pulp adventure X-Com and it looks great.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Lamplighters League launching in the same period as a bunch of other big games meant it was always going to be in for a rough ride. It’s still on my list of games to play when I’m done with Starfield and Forza, and I’m keen to check it out, but there’s been so much solid stuff the last few months it’s hard to compete.

Truth, while these games always have their faithful few, this year was loving stacked, even for turn-based combat. Witness the juggernaut, Baldur's Gate 3. Didn't Jagged Alliance 3 also come out this year.

Jagged Alliance fell onto my backlog and BG3 is stacked up behind Divinity OS2 (in theory, I've put it on the 'work through backlog while waiting for a good sale' place on the list). First half of 2023 was a bit light but it feels like back half is where a whole load of COVID delayed projects finally came out of the oven all at once.

e: \/\/ yeah Lamplighter's combat system has the same problem as Battletech's, in that skills are just 'more and better of the same'. And it unfortunately lacks the cool factor of Battletech.

I played it a bit, then uninstalled. I through that its a interesting game, well made, with good graphics, good UI, good story..

My reason to uninstalling it was checking the skill tree for the characters. There where nothing in the tree that I just wanted to play more to unlock. So I did not played more.


Edit:
I could use more words, but was literally that. Did not found the deep I wanted on a game of this type.

I absolutelly loved Marvel's Midnight Suns.
