You don't deserve that avatar.Rise of Skywalker
Best of the new trilogy in all honesty
I haven't even seen the movie yet but I feel like I had to say that.
Speaking of Star Wars, cause everyone loves it, Mando was somehow one of the best things put out by Disney since acquiring the money machine from Lucas.
Tbf the whole trilogy ended up being a big bowl of lukewarm meh, but Rise was like the flashiest bland mess of the trilogy.Rise of Skywalker
Best of the new trilogy in all honesty
Well GOTY is over so I'm moving on to a more topical avatar shortly
Actually I meant to say "gif". Not sure why "avatar" came out. I was just being facetious and the wrong word came out. Sorry. Your avatar is perpetually charming!
It was really of a time.
I feel like Nirvanna The Band The Show superceded it and then they shat all over the CRTC anyway...
This isn't super happy in retrospect.
Edit: Ah, here it its:
This shit is bitter. Like I'm sure Letterkenny is good and I plan to watch it but this is pretty damning of our local platforms in general.
Frankly, Canadian video games have been doing leagues better than Canadian TV has internationally. We have some of the best studios in the world here for games. And I love that.
But our film & tv is kinda just being farmed out for American content at the moment and it is kinda robbing us of having an identity in that space.
If I were to buy my first Total War game, should it be Warhammer 2 (or 1?) or Three Kingdoms?im consumed with total warhammer
Yup this has always been an issue with the "roc".
In Quebec we have a lot of great French speaking shows created locally and often sold internationally. For example, "Un gars, une fille" from the late 90s was sold in over 30 countries and made the creator (and main character) ridiculously rich.
I'm new to the series but I think Total Warhammer 2 is a great entry point.
I'm 12 hours in and it's clear i haven't even reached the surface yet, but i got a hold of the basics real quick.
The TW community here is really accommodating so if you have questions ask around in the OT.

Every army in Total Warhammer 2 is super disparate for better and worse.
In Three Kingdoms you kinda at least know what you're getting because it's almost based on real life.
Like this little bit of magic only has 12,000 views:
And then this is also only a little over 12,000:
It's all so goofy and good.
I was expecting something like this and I'm actually even more upset with you now
3K would be easier to learn, but TWWH2 has a lot more gameplay variety. Creative Assembly's gotten good with tutorials so you shouldn't be lost with either.
I'd recommend TWWH2 over 3K, mostly because I prefer the deeper RPG systems and fantasy setting.
So they aren't going to make a proper Total War 40K game because the tabletop stuff is the only thing bringing in money for them anymore, right? After the rebooted WH Fantasy, I had to assume as much.
I can confirm as a total TW noob, I bought both War2 and 3k in the span of a few months... 3k is prettier and the UI is more slick but War2 is more fun and totally approachable for a newbie.
Problem with 40k is that there's too many guns. CA would have to rethink Total War from the ground up to make it work.
Look I played Empire and that was like half cannons and half bayonet charges so that sounds basically like Space Marines and tyranids, tbh.
The more colons in the title, the better.
That's why Star Wars: Dark Forces: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy II: Jedi Outcast is so good.

These are some terrible takes you have on Dishonored.
OP
OP
I'm very close to finalizing my top 10 list. I can't believe I am thinking for sometime now between Kingdom Hearts 3 & Death Stranding for the no.10 spot lmao.
To bring Dishonored back up for a sec, while I'd probably say 2 is the better game (if you pointed a gun to my head) I've also only played through it in its entirety once, whereas I'm pretty sure I've finished Dishonored 1 like four times. The thing is, Emily's powerset is definitely built in such a way that you can tell they were thinking of cool fun dynamic interactions in that very Immersive Sim-esque way. It's a lot of fun to take out an entire room of guards with the link power and a single sleep dart... but Corvo's powers from 1 are basically unchanged and are still a blunt, profoundly effective hammer, especially if you're going lethal.
Billie's powerset in Death of the Outsider is somehow even more straightforwardly effective than either, especially thanks to the changes they made to the recharge rate, (and also not making the player feel "bad" for playing lethally) but of course my problem with Death of the Outsider is that only two of its five levels are all that standout. I honestly think the Daud DLC from the first game is a little stronger on just a pure level design end.

As someone who was also recently consumed with Total Warhammer, (scroll to near the end if you want my spiel on it) your experience mirrors mine pretty well. Sort of amazed you started with Brettonia, given how much micromanaging all that cavalry needs, but then again my first full campaign was as the Skaven, who are all about "tricky shit" and a very disruptive, very disposable front line.

Well Winter Games 2019 sure was worth staying up for.
I'm so happy Abby won that silly contest. Gordon Ramsay of all people huh
Having played both Dishonored game multiple times in various ways, they're both very entertaining however you play them and you should not let the chaos system prevent you from doing whatever you want.
Just noticed this. Sorry.
Now, if Bioshock Infinite had a sequence where Elizabeth went and became Joan of Fucking Arc, that would have been amazing.
excuse me repanse de Lyonesse came before elizabeth
Did everyone else figure who they were trying to guess 10 mins before they did? They seem to have a range of about 5 questions to ask.
i finished outer wilds
i figured out all the machinations of this solar system but had to ask for help with flipping a switch lol
I get it now. This game is powerful.
Just an awe-inspiring experience of scientific curiosity and discovery that's elevated by its philosophical criticality and grounded by its understanding of personal and collective relationships. I am moved by this game in so many ways.
Now time to go back and listen to every part of the GOTYcasts that discussed Outer Wilds and root for it to win GOTY because I haven't listened to all of Day 5 yet!

I like to check achievement stats and this is very common. Most games never get finished. By the halfway point you've often lost most of 'em.

It gets worse when you know that Steam only tracks people who have started it and not just own it.
But I bet atleast some of them just checked if it runs well enough or not.
Slay the Spire fucking rules.
Edit: Also I'm trading in Outer Worlds. I didn't give it much of a chance but it seems most people were pretty lukewarm on it anyway and it certainly wasn't grabbing me early on... which by all accounts is when the game is actually good.

Do what I do and just play 1 game that you can continue throwing money into.
Also Outer Worlds reminded me that I can no longer stand scavenging around for bullshit loot in games. I think the last game I could tolerate it in was New Vegas, or I suppose The Witcher 3, but honestly it never felt that egregious in that game.
I always planned to go back to it but Alex has inspired me to put Judgment back in now and start playing it again. Hopefully I wont drop off this time.
Saw one of this guys movies in an indie cinema here a few years ago, really liked it but it took me a while to put two and two together that it was the dude from Nirvana The Band The Show!
