Yeah that would be me. Guess I am glad I held off. I have learned over time though it sounds great I don't have the time to spend in a game for 2-3 hours a day and these huge open world games will have to wait till retirement someday:-) Last edited by Galaril : 08-10-2016 at 12:56 PM. |

I'm overwhelmingly blah about the game from what I'm seeing, but for a different reason. I (sadly, frankly) do kinda have the time for extended play. I'm just not seeing a ton of point here. Too little story, too much lather/rinse/repeat.

fwiw, Sterling's written remarks come off much stronger than the video I watched last night.
I felt like what's written is his honest take, he seemed (as I think I mentioned here earlier) like he was trying really hard to not be brutally honest

Quick RimWorld story:
Tried to tame an alpaca, because I lost my dog to an angry cobra. Alpaca wasn't having it, and promptly beat my guy to death. Alpaca, still angry, got his 3 alpaca buddies to gang up on my outpost, causing several large explosions and mauling the rest of my party. Lesson Learned: Alpaca is not Your Dog. Get over it |

Bought RimWorld, played for 2 hours, got a refund. Couldn't figure out what the fuss was about. Not a lot to do and then you die.

I fired up a Rimworld game on the safest setting because I was sick of getting attached to my little Rimworldians only to have something horrible wipe them out. Anyway, things were going great, had a triple-freezer setup to happily support my 15 Rimworldians, when my airconditioner blew up, torching all my food in all 3 freezers (....mental note for next time: spread that shit out)... right after finishing my harvests.
Watching all 15 of my Rimworldians either starve to death or go on murderous rampages was heart breaking.

Most of the game is prioritizing tasks for your settlers then queuing up things for them to do. Helps to know what the keys are early one (ie. someone to fight, someone to heal, and someone to grow food) and pick your starting colonists accordingly. It's not going to be for everyone, but it's like a super user-friendly version of Dwarf Fortress.

Wow! I've never got anywhere close to 15 colonists, that's gotta be pushing maximum density, yes? In my current colony I've had 7 forever, and I keep turning people away because things seem to be going well enough, and I don't particularly want to support anybody new.

15 is a guesstimate, but must have been at least 12. This is using the '5 colonists' start condition, and I recruited probably half of those from prisoners/crash survivors as well, because the drip of new colonists was really slow, especially taking into account a few deaths early on.

Any word on if there's going to be a PS4 price drop in the next couple weeks? (I figure the new PS4 Slim will be taking the old price point)

Likely the usual $50 drop. Better value is going to be all the bundle deals that show up after the announcement. They'll start doing the 2-4 games with the original PS4. Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are the usual culprits. |

NBA 2K Feature List Dropped
NBA 2K17 Features Improvements Across The Board, Here's 75 of Them - Operation Sports Some pretty cool stuff in MyLeague/GM - League expansion allows players to start with 30-36 teams. - Leagues will dynamically expand in future years. - Total user control over expansion AND contraction. - Expansion draft fully implemented. Each team can protect up to 8 players. There is logic put in place where contenders will keep their team's core in-tact, while a younger team is more likely to expose their aging pricey veterans to the expansion draft. -Perhaps one of the most impressive features - Dynamic rule changes. For instance, league meetings will occur during the offseason. An extreme example would be the league voting on using a sudden death OT rule change first bucket wins. Extreme cases such as this are very rare, we were told. More common would be changes to the shot clock timer, back clock timer, etc. -Advanced rotations--a whole new gameplan that not only allows you to slot your minutes like before, but actually when your players play those minutes and with whom those minutes are played with. Players will typically play in units. This is very deep, but can also be autoed by asking for coach recommendations. -Jersey retirements now exist, and logic has been put in place to prevent a player having their jersey retired after a short amount of time on team. |

Wow. That full list is very impressive. I was planning on skipping NBA 2k17 for this year because I'm so invested in my current 2k16 MyGM league, but I can't pass up all of those innovations.

All very nice, but I'm ecstatic about advanced rotations. No more lineup with 4 big men or 3 point guards for no good reason because the game alogrithm decided they needed to get minutes at that particular point.
If done right the expansion stuff is freaking amazing as well. |

I hope they put some time into the draft classes, although I doubt it. Generally speaking if you don't get one of the top 3 or 4 guys in the draft you might as well trade for a future pick and hope for the best, because it's a sea of guards who can't shoot or bigs who can't do anything. I'd like more variety, especially one-dimensional specialists. Some years I manually tune my classes, but it takes a long time and ruins the surprise for myself.

I'm addicted to Dragon Quest 7
The game came out Friday and I already have 30 hours on it.

Dragon Quest...7? Is that a remake of the PS2 game, or is there a different one you're confusing the numeration with?

Oh, hang a bit. I think DQIX was the PS2 game. I think regular DS got a remake of DQ7, too, didn't it?

DQ IX was a DS exclusive. DQ XIII was on the PS2 but is coming to the 3DS early next year. ETA: There is no regular DS version of DQ7

The picture they posted this morning is definitely Dutch's gang -- so a prequel it is.
Insta-buy for me.

I am tempted to pick up the new special edition of Skyrim 5 with all three expansions included. Might wait for a deal or price drop.
