    Your other points about the games UI and graphical issues are valid. But every single post you make about gameplay just boils down to "WAAAAAHHHH THIS ISN'T LIKE CIV". Just take a step back, maybe :lol:

    Oof, that does not sound too great. Why would you launch in such a rough and barebones state? I'm fine with barbarians being a constant threat in early game - in Civilization they can basically be ignored once you deal with the nest (hell, even if you don't), and that's very easy to do. It was...

    Which makes sense, right? But why would anyone see that as a negative? "Game that isn't Civ demands somewhat different strategies than Civ" ... yeah, wow, incredible :lol:

    One of the many reasons game "journalism" drifts further and further into irrelevance with lower and lower numbers of readers/audience. These people simply suck something fierce at the games they are reviewing. Add to that their hacktivist needs of injecting their personal politics into...

    Development Info Breath of Thunder Kickstarter Campaign with a Twist

    I agree. The dude isn't really to blame here, other than not really realizing KS is probably not the best choice for his situation. It is no longer really suitable for "I have no income to spend on this, pay me to make this" kind of situations as people have been burned by that too often. This...

    Same. Truth be told, if many streamers (most of which I know usually play strategy games that are more.. uh... visually appealing) choose to play this without being sponsored and are obviously having a good time, that's a pretty good sign. I'm swamped with new games to play, but this one is...

    Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    Good for them, really. DnD as a setting is pretty meh and "been there, done that" at this point. At least Faerun. But more important than that, DnD5 is an extremely flawed rulesystem that they already had to house rule around like an excentric DM to make it at least somewhat more palatable. And...

    The Japs do everything better

    The genie near the firewine bridge comes to mind. Or the sirens. Or the basilisks. Or Drizzt. Or Mulahey (okay, not optional, but still good luck just rushing in blindly into that one). Sure, a few of those can be made (much) easier with the right preparation. But that preparation itself and...

    The Japs do everything better

    Ah, okay, so you've never played these games. That strategy simply wouldn't work there for the majority of fights unless you are talking about trash mob fights (which these games have too many of, yes, didn't say they were perfect). Or unless you count reloading every few minutes as "the way to...

    The Japs do everything better

    Any of the BGs and IWDs. The Larian games. To some extent the goldbox ones. Some blobbers (although these tend to go back and forth between the full range of way too easy and go fuck yourself within a single game). Does Fallout Tactics count? Quite a few indies in the vein of any of those...

    The Japs do everything better

    In some games, yeah. But not in those with more interesting encounters and/or harder difficulty modes/mods/etc. Meanwhile... are there even examples of classic turn-based JRPGS that are not as described? "With little inbetween "too easy" and "complete time-waste"." ? Because if they exist...

    Incline Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - main thread - Fallout1/NEOScavenger older brother.

    I prefer single pool, it's just more flexible. Balance isn't much of a consideration for the starting character in this game since you'll be getting so much stronger pretty quickly anyway. If you survive the start, that is :lol: I guess pool makes it a bit easier to minmax? But it's not like...

    Europa Universalis V

    I mean... pops are "okay" in Stellaris. In Vicky 3 they don't do anything because the game is just "click to make current shortage go away". I'm not sure if I'd call that a great track record for pop systems. As long as the game won't become that CK2/3 style of "medieval Sims" that focuses on...
