The dynasty thing is quite interesting, and a crucial missing element in Civ.
If you can't have your children cannibalize each other and break up your empire, what's the point?

Looks worthwhile but not as sold on the unorthodox controls. Steam reviews seem positive though some critique that aspect in end game fights.

It might be based on the 360/PS3 version, in which case it will run fine on Switch.

Nintex · « **Reply #24255 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:35:16 AM »

Crysis was an very impressive tech demo but the 'game' part was quite weak in certain areas and especially janky.

The first sandbox half of the game was ok and fun, but once you got to the alien stuff it all falls apart rather quickly.
I wonder how they're going to improve on that.

It's fun to look back at which big FPS games came out in 2007 and how it ultimately played out.
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4
Shadow of Chernobyl
Crysis
Portal

MMaRsu · « **Reply #24256 on:** April 18, 2020, 10:55:12 AM »

Yeah I also don't understand why a remaster of a FPS that didnt move the playing field in any way.

The only thing it had going for it were the graphics. Even the AI was trash

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #24257 on:** April 18, 2020, 03:11:46 PM »

I mean, we live in a time when someone thought Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger was worth an HD remaster.

Because they need money after not beating the epic dipshits over at CIG/RSI in court.

While looking at the Touhou Luna Nights dev's site noticed they have a new game in development that is more directly Castlevania styled in part. Pixel art is on point.

The Early Access version available currently is only very short though according to reviews. Will be keeping an eye out for a full release.

Which reminds me, apparently World of Tanks has some bonus gamepass content too. Should give that another go

it's ok. you spend most of the intro doing tutorial quests. you can't trade items with people, that's for paid ("premium") people

the achievements aren't too terrible, most of it is grinding XP - which again isnt bad, the level cap is like 75 and you only need to hit 30.

demi · « **Reply #24274 on:** April 20, 2020, 09:45:22 PM »

i wouldnt expect much MMO when you're doing quests. you can come across random people in your instance fighting monsters but i dont think they join you in boss fights.

lobbies are usually full of people, most of them already like max rank and with the good shit.

it's whatever though.

inXile is owned by Microsoft now, so that's why. And it's not out until sometime in August.

Pretty easy to move games around though. Steam is pretty good about just letting you move folders to and fro.

Yeah, it seems like you'd have to choose one or two "big" games to keep on it.
Games like this, RDR2, Division, Hitman (at least this is modular) and whatnot, are not really games that you finish and quickly uninstall, which makes them being dozens and dozens of GB kind of annoying, if you don't have multiple 1TB SSDs.

Also modern SSDs seems to only have NvMe and similar contacts (like the Samsung 970) which makes it even more annoying, as you can't just have a bunch of them like with Sata.
I think my MoBo only has 2 NvMe slots, for example.

i have a 1tb sata ssd for game storage and a 1tb m2 for windows+apps, plus two other 1tb platter hdds for non-game storage. at least one of each seems to be the optimal setup imo.
