looks like a cool game. also looks pretty complex.
I have always loved Company of Heroes. The multiplayer is just so much fun. But its RTS...

I have always loved Company of Heroes. The multiplayer is just so much fun. But its RTS...

Absolutely LOVED Hearts of Iron 1 and 2. 3 was terribly unwieldy and complicated even for someone like me who spent a lot of time in the previous games- I gave up on it. I am very interested to see what they did with 4 but I am gun shy on buying it and wanting to hear feedback from others.STEADYMOBBIN 22 said:
I would recommend HoI 1 and 2 as an involved game that takes Axis and Allies to a more involved level. If you want strategy game and want WWII- go get HoI 2 and you will enjoy yourself.

Not at all really.
There is no active real time management of units like StarCraft. It is much more about strategic planning and outlining offensive/defensive tactics. Think a higher level of Risk or Axis and Allies board games.

I like it, but like a lot of PC games these days it seems like it was rushed to the market. Along with some other bugs and nuisances, the AI is pretty bad.
So I would say that I think it is going to be great after patches/DLC/mods. I have put a decent number of hours into it, but am probably going to set it aside until at least the first major patch.

It's probably closer to a Civ-type game without turns than Starcraft.

I finally have taken the plunge with GTA V on the PS4.
Game arrives tomorrow. I loved Vice City (my all time fav to this point) but the online component of this is why I am doing it. I have a bunch of PSN friends who have been begging me to join their crew and I have watched videos of their heists and just pure carnage. I was rolling in laughter.
Got to get in on the fun.

Only the single player and only the western front portion. It's on my list. I wanted to get comfortable with the changes before I jumped into multiplayer.
PlasmaDogPlasma

Did not. From everything I've read the game is definitely more accessible than III though.

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciated.
No reason for me to go run out and get it now anyways since I am starting a new job and for a while will be overwhelmed in a learning curve and getting up and running in sales. But the feedback that there seems to be some things to iron out (pun no intended by wish it was) makes me more inclined to hold off.

So as usual I am behind in what I am playing. But I am rolling through Witcher 3 right now. Had it for a while but was playing other games. Really enjoying it a lot. Haven't gotten far enough to get into any of the expansions but I have both. The progression and the way you can build on it is really interesting and although my deck sucks I am enjoying gwent which is a great mini-game.
need2know
Footballguy
Gwent is great. I have all the decks and have done everything you can do with it. Did you know they are coming out with a mobile gwent standalone game?
NCCommish
Footballguy
I saw that. Looked fun. I really want to do better on my decks but it's hard to beat some of these people with that starting northern deck to win the good cards. But I am building. I really want the monster deck that just looks cool but I only have the leader card.

love the Witcher, but on the second play through I am maddened by the load times on the Xbone. I am playing on a higher difficulty, so I die more. it sucks.

Just picked it up a few days ago and haven't been reading this thread much. Different strokes and all that. I do think the community will last, they are starting a competitive mode soon.Borden said:

Yeah I am starting to get a decent Nilfgard set. Still mostly play Northern Realms sets for now though.

Same. I'll try again tonight, I guess. The sales have gotten stale since they stopped doing the daily and flash sales, though. The only games I think I'll pick up is whatever Lego games I don't already have for my daughter since she's really gotten into playing them with me.

Did the same on XBox. Messed around for a bit with my friend online before I went on vacation. Seems like a lot to get in to can't wait.

Meant to answer this earlier. McCree's Fan the Hammer and Widowmaker's scoped shot were both nerfed on PC. Not sure if it's made it to consoles yet.Borden said:

I don't think I had to do an update yet. PC is a different beast though. I don't have any experience with mouse and keyboard but from what I understand aiming is way more precise. So, those two are pretty deadly. I've seen are few games where someone who is skilled with one of those just take over a game. Widow is picking people of before they can even get close and McCree mows down a my whole team.
Another couple other differences that I've noticed are Health Pack locations are hot spots. There will always be battles around those. Also, crews are scraping the recommended team make up. Usually it's 3+ of Symmetra or Torbjorn.

Finally finished XCom 2 for the first time on either my third or fourth play-through. Just a fantastic TBS RPGish game. Picked up where Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within left off and made it even more fun and interesting.
I forgot who recommended the originals to me (Insein? Chaka?) but thanks for bringing me into this series. Perfect gameplay (yes, it is hard - thank you), above average plot, and great graphics (on the PC). Even when your 91% shots miss, that frustration is far eclipsed by the satisfaction of winning.
There are some awesome mods out there that change the UI and not the gameplay so that was outstanding as well.
Highly recommend. Will play again as an achievement ho'or.
9.4/10 - BECAUSE I NEEDED THAT 91% SHOT! A MAN DIED ON THAT BATTLEFIELD.

Used pretty much Northern Realms the whole time, Skellige is too weak for spies for me and ones they have that are exclusive were mainly too high values.

I played on the PC but I might do a twitch run on XBox since it was free this month.

Forever. That's why I download all of them even if I don't install them. It's in your catalog then. Same with PS+
Chaka

Very cool. How do you know if an Xbox 360 game is compatible with the Xbox One? The X-Com download page says "Download to Xbox 360".
Insein
Footballguy
So far they've been making all the Gold games backwards compatible. So it can be installed and run on XB1. But there is a list out there that has all the games so far that have BC.

Man...having gotten to Witcher 3 shortly after Phantom Pain, the W3 load times feel downright pleasant.
As far as Gwent goes, I'm most confident in playing Northern Realms. I go with Monsters when I want a more fast-paced match. Skellige is neat with the third-round extra units, definitely.
NCCommish
Footballguy
Yeah I heard Phantom was pretty bad that way. I think part of my thing is I have to learn to edit my deck better too often I end with a ton of weather effects or all really low cards. Still feeling my way.

On play through one, honestly getting tired of playing it. Gathering allies for Kaer Mohren, how much is left?
Borden
Footballguy
Lots left. I would say to put it down for a bit. They likely won't be making another game for a while so there's no need to grind through it.
I loved Witcher but I'm holding off on playing the DLC. It's a nice "Oh yeah! I still have that."

Pac Man 256... anyone play? Good?

I'm kind of the opposite when one of these big games grab me then I am in for the whole thing. I expect to have well over 200 hours in. Heck I am in the 40-50 range and haven't even sniffed Novigrad yet,
bigmarc27
Footballguy
This is actually the mistake I made. I did like everything in Velen, then did everything in Novigrad. Then I got to Skellige with tons of hours and just burned through it as quickly as possible because I'm tired of the playing. I definitely should have kept better pace early on with the main story.
I realized at the end of Novigrad instead of watching the cutscenes, I was just reading the subtitles and fast forwarding.

For Skellige I have something like 15 of 17 for the Gwent quest. I've down all the side quests so figured the last two might be guys in the main story or something. Not sure where else they would be as down all the ? marks and such already.
For the other factions I should have all the hero cards.
NCCommish

Well that's my play style though. When it has my interest I wring it out. When a game doesn't really have my interest it starts to feel like work then I get all lets just finish.
I've been doing that the whole time. I just recently did the part where you find Ciri and fight the something-Hunt. That was kind of cool but to start that part I had to advance and fail a bunch of missions I was part way through, but I saved. Is it worth it to go back and do it over? I probably wouldn't even consider it, but I took Ciri back to her dad and accepted the reward (and I wouldn't have, but I spent so much money at the whorehouse I figured I should) which pissed her off, so I was thinking of undoing that.
