Curt Schilling is way worse than EA if we're staying in the same industry.

Don't even get me started on that bullshit. Had friends that worked at 38 Studios, as well as friends that worked in RI's state government when that poo poo went down. He most definitely hosed over the lives of many many people.

I guess I'll clarify, I made that post referring to businesses that have practices that actively gently caress over their customers lives and livelihoods, not solely their employees.

why bother to point that this poo poo has raisins in it but this poo poo has corn

they both can be poo poo without trying to get into dick measuring

:shrug:

Pointing out that "gamers" have a weird habit of overreacting to games being mediocre or not meeting their expectations and then treating it like it's the same thing as loving over someone's livelihood doesn't seem like dick measuring but ok I guess.

Gonna go play Witcher 3 DLC now.

Yeah, every time I have a moment of "well maybe I won't return Mass Effect after work and form my own opinions on it", Two Finger posts something else that makes me go "Yeah, no. Return that poo poo."

Which sucks, because I loved Mass Effect 1-3 :(

I don't know if the patches made things much better or if I've just spent enough time away from Civ V, but Civ VI is growing on me and I'm starting to enjoy it now. Still a couple of design choices I'm not thrilled with, but I played for four hours last night and enjoyed every minute of it.

I was worried when they said it was gonna have realistic and highly detailed weapon and armor modeling. I like me some grognard gaming and I like me some RTS but I do not like to mix the two

Same team behind the Wargame series. This one is less hectic and more accessible in my opinion, mostly since you don't have to juggle 8 different​ types of infantry and ATGM systems. Stuff is modeled accurately but it's less grognardy than it seems.

It's more Total War than it is Combat Mission if that comparison makes sense.

Yeah I bought it for PS4 chiefly due to the player base being more active on account of Sony making it a bundled game as well as for the PSVR X-Wing mission.

Its an action figure simulator at best and I enjoyed very little of it. I really hope the new one is as good as the original Battlefront II was.

I was thinking the same thing but I've mostly chalked it up to slowly buying a bunch of poo poo over like 8 years worth of steam sales and not really wanting anything else. And the major releases I tend to buy on release like Prey and Doom.

Though I did start playing the other WoW again. My girlfriend plays it a ton when she's not working her insane vet schedule and she wanted me to play with her, so she bought me a resub. To be honest, after not having played for close to 10 years, it can be fun so long as you're not poopsocking.



Also, I'm in the process of selling off the last of my retro stuff that was just sitting in my closet. Sold a dude a copy of Vectorman 2 for like five bucks, proceed to get this message right when he sends payment

Two Finger posted:

Yeah I just felt obligated to get my money's worth since I preordered it like a loving chump.

I have very few good things to say about it. The gameplay was a weird mishmash of the first three but without taking the strengths from all of them. The combat was a giant step back from ME3's incredibly tight fighting.The characters all tried so goddamned hard to be quirky and entertaining but not one of them had even a shred of the charm of the OG bro squad.

The only part I actually liked was towards the end when your father's memories reveal that the reason they fled the Milky Way was because of the Reapers, and then you get access to all the distress calls from the planets as they started getting hit. That was cool.

Yeah I pre-ordered it but returned it as soon as it showed up at my house. My friend said I could borrow his copy whenever I'd like to play it, but to be honest :effort:



Working my way through Dishonored 2 finally. Maybe it's me, but the story isn't as good as it was in the first game. Still fun though.

Origin is such a piece of poo poo. Tells me I have updates for Battlefield 1 and TF2 but it won't install the updates or allow me to queue them. Restarting the app and my computer didn't fix it either.

Looks like I get to do a clean install.

EDIT: never mind, repairing did the trick. Still, Origin sucks and I wish they'd keep their stuff on Steam.
