I don't know a thing about Skylanders but I googled them and the game's being developed by Toys for Bob and boy that takes me back - I put hours and hours into Star Control 2, and still love it to this day, even if it is a game where you have to use cheats to cut down on mining tedium. The species in that game were fantastic.

The skylanders designs imo are all over the place, some are pretty great and then a lot are just weirdly bland and boring. I get that it's primarily aimed at kids but you'd think they'd try to make all of the characters interesting instead of just some.

Like, seriously, here are two different figures from the Trap Team line.

I think an acorn hat could look cool in a good design but I think the big issue for me is his face. He just kinda looks, idk, constipated or somethin

Well, here comes the month when all the games I want are coming out. Between DQ Builders, World of FF, Civ 6, and 100 Foot Robot Golf, good lord I am going to spend too much on video games over the next couple months.

That on top of a couple spooky Halloween themed games I'm planning ok getting.

Doing the horror game thing this month again for like the fourth or fifth year. Want to beat the second loop in Castlevania (I did VS on hard last year), maybe Vampire Killer MSX and 3, play that newish Echo Night translation, and maybe continue Ghost 'n Goblins or something :spooky:

I tried streaming something like this a couple years back and only got through 1 1/2 games.

And now you've reminded me I didn't finish McFarlane's Evil Prophecy :stonk:

"Everyone's entitled to their point of view, but that's seriously a weird one."
What are the big selling points of Civ 6? I like 4X games but I feel pretty happy with Endless Legend and Civ 5 for the moment.

It wasn't really "bad to good" as much as "at least understood the problems." The fundamental issues weren't fixable. There's some really good interviews and stuff with him about why the hex system didn't work.

They've been very generous with info about the game and its mechanics over the past few months, and the NDA on the pre-release ended not too long ago so there's videos up already

Maybe that's what youve been indirectly absorbing, I dunno

Everything I've read says it's more of the same if you liked TR 2013 but doesn't do anything new except expanding on the open world stuff, so I'm expecting Arkham City to 2013's Asylum.
