got mine pre-ordered and traded in some old 360 games to cover most of it.
I never trade in games.
well I traded in my xbox 360, so wasn't really much point keeping all the games...
or consoles.
eagerly awaiting Stellaris, which is thankfully only a couple of weeks away now. And boy, is that ever going to be an awesome game, especially knowing it's made by Paradox and thus will have a crapton of long-term support via patches and great DLCs. Plus, the Blorg are in it.
WE ARE THE BLORG
YOU WILL BE BEFRIENDED
RESISTANCE IS IMPOLITE
HUG MEEEEEEE

I've never traded in a console or games either- I'm too much of a hoarder for that...
I prefer "collector" :D
Tyr I really want to be good at those but I was terrible at crusader kings.
Hmm, I'm gonna stick with hoarder, because that means I get to call my pile of stuff a hoard, which sounds more impressive. Like it's buried treasure or something.
Only if you're dragonkin and curl up on it.
A lot of it is stored under my bed.... so sort of? I'm not scaley though, except when I was on isotretenoin.
>_<
Yeah technically the same. Boxes fit under there so well.
I still haven't gotten around to playing all of my 360 games.
Funny thing about my XBox One... most of the games I have for it I got free. Either through Games For Gold or EA Vault (FIFA 16 just became available, downloaded that last night). Granted, those games are also ones I'm "behind the times" on, but eh... I'm okay unless it's multiplayer-based. Or relies on it (looking at you, Mass Effect 3!).
On that note... I didn't have an XBox One until last August, so didn't get Sunset Overdrive when it was new. Heard some good stuff, added it to my Amazon wishlist, kind of forgot about it. Then it came up on Games For Gold, and I've been enjoying the heck out of it this week. It's fun to run, jump, and "grind" all around a city, and the game does more fourth-wall-breaking than even Deadpool. Like when the main character says to a guy, "I've got plenty of guns, look," and points to the weapon wheel popping up on screen. Or references to the music playing, the dialogue, other stuff. The dialogue's pretty funny, too. Maybe it's "cheesy" but I liked the "automated" voice in a facility talking about how pointless and repetitive it is to repeat the same procedure three times to complete the quest, and when you finally finish, it says something like, "Okay, my job here is done. Peace out, *****es." I regret not playing it sooner. But especially as it hides some stuff behind multiplayer, and given the game's age, there's not really anyone playing multiplayer, so I can't unlock some of the stuff in-game. Meh. But I do get a complete game in single-player mode for plenty of hours' fun. Take that, Battlefront!
control scheme for the new Star Fox Zero is a nightmare. I knew it included a mix of sticks and motion controls, and takes a few hours to get used to, but wow. Arwing is ok, getting the hang of that, but the other vehicles are terrible, a game like Star Fox really needs slick, responsive controls and the gyrowing and chicken walker just don't have them.
Glad I only bought Animal crossing happy home designer this weekend instead :D
Zoombinis has had a remake! It's pretty much the same game but with updated graphics. Other than the shape of the zoombini's head changing I haven't noticed any differences.
Apparently a few decades of life experience doesn't make the Fleens any easier to get past either.
I assume we have plenty of other total war players in here.
Am I doing something particularly wrong or are the units in Shogun2 just weak in terms of morale than previous games?
Men at arms, roman legionaries, British redcoats could all be thrown into pretty much anything and would stand in my experience.
Sword samurai? Break and run with only a third casualties. Run from spearmen. One straggler gets caught in the open? Entire unit "attacked in flank" panic.
Am I going to be better served by throwing archers at everything with a minimal screen of supporting troops?
I had that issue. Opening mission was going well, three units charged survivors barely a third their number. Then my whole army broke and ran
never got into Shogun... not because of the setting, but because the complete lack of unit variety made the tactical battles so incredibly boring for me... I mean, there was what (might be completely wrong btw, it's been a while...)? Swords, Elite Swords, Bigger Elite Swords. Spears, Elite Spears. Archers, Elite Archers. Cavalry, Elite Cavalry. And that was about it... oh and one "Super Elite" variant per faction that just had a boring old stat increase? yaaaawwwwwwn... I'll take Medieval2 (still my favourite overall) or Rome2 any day of the week, cool scenario for Shogun or not.
So I've figured you need to autoresolve. And you need to own a good chunk of the trade points. The only way to achieve anything.
I ended up invading the main island with four armies, quickly captured a dozen provinces then negotiated a peace treaty which should give me ten turns to rebuild the armies and refill my coffers(upgrading the roads to keep reinforcements coming isn't cheap) The only problem is I think if I take any more land the shogun will decide I'm a threat and then my two allies will attack my peaceful rear where I only have one army precisely to hold my immediate neighbour, but it won't do that if they concentrate their forces.
I do miss the tactical game though, but what can you do when it's so broken?

is a WAAAAAAAAAGHgasm an appropriate response to this?
It's a pretty video. But I got bored of dawn of war a long time ago.
yup, and when your youtube sub feed looks like this, you know the embargo on Stellaris prerelease content has just been lifted... :P

I'm having a fire kitten.
The leaf thing is ugly.
When I play my friend and I'm like, "Okay, so France is really pissing me off, I think I'm going to send some bombers and tanks their way," and he responds with, "You have bombers and tanks?!? I'm working with musketmen still!"Quote:

Opted to finally give Sims 3 a proper try, since I got it in some package of games at some point anyway. The first tries were amusing, latest might be the funniest story yet.
Not sure what led to it, but my sim (Mark) decided he wanted to join Law Enforcement as a career. Okay, I can dig that, even though his lifelong aspiration is money and fame. I let him be autonomous at times, especially around people. Eventually he started chatting a lot with a particular sim (Ayesha) and hitting it off. Ah, cool, I'll roll with it and work the romance and all that to see if he's found himself a life partner. Turned out they were perfect for each other and fell madly in love.
Only thing is, her "career" was Criminal. My guy, shooting up through the ranks of Law Enforcement, found himself marrying a criminal, and, given that she "worked" in a location he'd raided multiple times, they probably met while he was bringing down the law. Just a little bit awkward, that.
Wouldn't do for the soon-to-be-International-Superspy to be with a Criminal, so after they married and moved in together, she quit the life of crime and joined a new profession: Politics. I didn't realize how perfect that was until after she was well on her way.
Now, Ayesha is Mayor of the town she started as a criminal in, Mark is a super spy celebrity, the two have a lot of money and investments all over town, and even a son who's growing up to be brilliant and creative (thank you, butler, for helping take care of him!). Granted, Ayesha still wants a daughter, but that hasn't happened yet.
But yeah, criminal to politician seems just so perfect.
And now I've been sucked into this game I thought I'd hate. Blast it.
So sometime over the summer I'm building the SO a new PC cause her last one is at least five years old now and the GPU was my old one that I upgraded at that time(had to put new capacitors on it to stop it crashing under heavy load as well).
Once it's done the plan is to get her a steam copy of Skyrim as it's cheap and she played it a lot on the PS so she'll appreciate the difference.
So last night I spent four hours watching how to mod youtube videos. I'm going to try and make some stuff she'll like when she finds them.
First thing I want to build is a Quik stop staffed by Randle and Dante with voice clips and Jay and Silent Bob outside. Jay constantly dancing around being loud. Silent Bob buying stolen stuff. A simple idea, but probably still ambitious for a first mod. Obviously won't be going on nexus cause it'll be full of film sound clips.
Might hide a couple of manga collections in the wild for a random collectable shelf to fill, in a custom cottage.
It'll be crazy XD
post edit.
I'm going to make a Nancy's Harbour Cafe! and fill it with wenches and mead! It'll be glorious!

New art style looks interesting. Should be pleasing to look at while playing the game.
well it was obvious that something was going to come at some point, the franchise is just too good not to keep it going... but I did not expect an annoucement for this fall!Quote:
