In game that's a low tier cruiser, it was actually built before WWI so it is quite old. Unlike most players, I like playing all tiers, people describe low tiers as bar brawls and high tier matches as games of chess. actual ship wiki entry 🙂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Charleston_(C-22) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherTed Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Credit where credit is due. Frankly (and sadly), it's refreshing these days to see an entertainment studio not blame their customer base for the failure of their product... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techwright Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I've been a lifelong theme park fan and after several delays, in part due to under-powered tech, I finally got around to "unboxing" Planet Coaster, which I picked up with several DLCs on a deep-discount sale quite some time back. Way back in the day (Sherman set the Wayback Machine to 2001), I was considered one of the better Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 themed ride creators in the official forums, and I tackled the first day of PlanCo gameplay in similar fashion. Well and good. However, I made the mistake of going to YouTube for additional instruction and inspiration and I've been quickly overwhelmed and utterly gobsmacked by the level of detail some of the great players have put into their creations. One instruction video I viewed went into intricate detail regarding what should be considered in a true park representation, right down to the measurements for office space in the headquarters building. After this and several others, I felt simultaneously both challenged and terrified to the point of throwing in the towel. 😱 I've opted for challenged. Fortunately, I've learned some of the best parks take anywhere from a year to 18 months to design and build. Not sure if that means working 1 to 5 hours a night, or 80 hours a week, but it does mean I have time. I should have a decently-themed kiddie coaster by then. 🤪 One of my favorites by the experts so far has been Brickburgh. The level of detail is just incredible.

Mr. Vee Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I've been playing Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It's pretty amazing if you were a Castlevania Symphony of the Night fan. It's a love letter to that but with not ps1-era graphics. It's not especially new but is in the current Humble Metroidvania bundle with some other good stuff like Hollow Knight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanga Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Going old school lately. Myself and my 2 younger brothers, have all been doing our own re-play through of Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant. Going back a few years to the MS-DOS days. It's still my most favourited RPG in that style and never was able to settle on anything else. Thankfully wizardry 8 scored well and uses a very old unreal engine I think. You can transfer your party from game to game too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twozerofoxtrot Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Was enjoying Mechwarrior 5 with all the DLC. First time playing it since the release a few years back when the AI and spawns were a mess. Much better now, and the DLC story missions are surprisingly well-written with attention to lore minutiae. Small dashes of Age of Empires 4, which I got during a summer sale. Very excited for Baldur's Gate 3 in a few days. Don't expect to be back in Paragon for a very long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Vee Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I snagged it for a few bucks having heard that it was good apart from some grindiness, which I can usually deal with. I rage quit it after searching around for the tutorial level for 10 minutes then getting bored during said tutorial. Sadly this was several days past the deadline for a steam refund. I may watch a yoobs of the story stuff one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the game from the moment I started playing it. Devs did stop updating it, but the version that's out now is still played, just mostly by console users. They(the devs) unlocked all the costume bits for all characters, and they added Winter Soldier before stopping development. For the foreseeable future, the game will continue on all platforms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherTed Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 A quick Civ5 update after... what, two years? As I'm sure you must recall, I was gearing up to take on a runaway Greece with my elite Kris army (22 Kris units - the RNG was good to me - and at least half a dozen rocket artillery). Initially the war went well, even though I didn't quite have the navy I'd hoped for. I managed to take a good chunk out of Greece and had Athens well in my sight. What stopped me, you may ask? All-out nuclear war. Within the space of 3 turns, every other civilization on the map decided my homeland would be an excellent testing ground for their nukes. I managed to keep defensive forces out of range of the strikes, but the strikes just kept coming. Over and over again. It was one of those moments where I just couldn't understand how they could sustain the barrage; uranium deposits were scarce, and the yield per deposit was relatively small. I broke in another 4 turns. Decided Emperor level wasn't meant for me. Or vice-versa. I still play, but strictly just for fun - King level only, 10 civs if playing Indonesia (or any other underpowered civ), 12 civs otherwise, all on "Continents Plus" maps. In the process, I'm discovering interesting tidbits about the game mechanics - for example, I've managed to confirm that it's relatively easy to get a cultural victory just by beating civs to the cultural Wonders. Go figure. I've also discovered that the Great Wall breaks the game, even after it's officially made irrelevant. Seems like just having that Wonder keeps everyone at bay - except the Ottomans, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Vee Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Reinstalled Avengers and am liking it pretty well playing the campaign instead of whatever i got into last time. It's flawed but cool and suitably cinematic. A couple things that bother me are they decided that 'toggling on' sprint means you run until you jump and land and then have to toggle it on again (with the screen telling you so if it's necessary for what you're doing). Seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of what 'toggle' means. The other is that I keep getting alerts that better gear is available every two seconds but there doesn't seem to be an auto-equip better gear setting. It might be that I'm just too early on and that there's gear later you might want to keep on at a lower level but it's not shown up yet so seems an odd choice. Generally the controls are pretty bad, but I've played worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyhawke Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I have been playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the new dlc, but am taking a break after hitting the Spoiler $%@#ing forced stealth/insta kill section. I will never understand why game devs put that sort of flow killer in games. 1 1 Sky-Hawke: Rad/WP Brute Alts galore. So...soooo many alts.
