I am waiting for the re-release of 4 and 5 later in the year

[Kirsten]

currently downloading Battlefleet Gothic and Farcry Primal, don't know if the Battlefleet beta is still ongoing, will have to see. Shall be trying Primal over the long weekend though. it sounds utterly ridiculous, but the series has never let me down before, so we shall see.

yeah BFG is still in Beta, although the Devs are being rather big idiots about it, haven't said a thing about the actual release date (which was supposed to be yesterday, and Steam apparently lists it as released, but it is in fact still a beta which is poor practice not far short of an outright scam)

[Kirsten]

Steam just says pre-order, release March 2016

maybe some sort of last minute issue came up?

I am playing this classic I loved as a kid:

I am liking Primal so far, absolutely beautiful, and a nice combination of familiar gameplay with a new wild setting. Battlefleet Gothic is not what I expected, it isn't turn based, which is crazy. Plus it took me ages to realise that once you start attacking an enemy ship your ship will move about on its' own according to what mode it is in. so they start circling each other. seems like it might rather take the strategy out really, but we shall see.

[Tyrendian]

well you can still order moves manually and your ship will fire - and you can set priorities for enemy vessels so that your guys focus their fire on the right target...

[Kirsten]

I know, but the fact they just fly around shooting by themselves kinda spoils it a bit for me. I may well still enjoy it, it looks like it could be good. I just need to get it right in my head that it isn't actually Battlefleet Gothic you are playing, it is a different game in the same universe.

new launch date for Gothic of April 21st. Beta will be open right up to launch. Orks launching in a few days, and pre-orders will get Space Marines and one other dlc fleet (unannounced) for free.

Has anyone found the Chinese submarine in fallout 4? I've seen one brief reference to it in a youtube video. Is it worth going looking for?

I don't want to google it and end up spoilering it

Yeah, it's got an interesting story to it, some quests, and the reward is kind of nice. The quest to locate it is kind of random to come across, but will help you locate it. There's a kid on a pier, I think near the General Atomics Factory? Says there's a sea monster that pokes up its eye, and that gives you the quest to investigate, which marks it on your map.

Also, since there's water involved, remember to keep some Rad-X/Rad-Away around, just in case.

Sounds like it could still be a fun game. On the plus side, being different from the tabletop game means people won't skip on the tabletop game when it finally returns.

Though I suppose I'll have to come up with new tactics, because using Cobras' torpedoes to direct enemy ships where I want them to do likely isn't going to be as viable with this system.

It's weird going back to older games in a series. I mean New Vegas looks a lot different to how I remember it:
