New completist playtrough of Pillars of Eternity with White March included. I have to say that after the latest patches I am enjoying it quite more than the first time! I tried a second play-through and just couldn't persevere with it... I think the systems are all a little too opaque for me; I've got all these skills and stats and I don't really know what half of them actually do with regards to the game mechanics. I didn't find the system very difficult, but i think that it requires a lot of pacience before learning everything. The primary attributes are more or less the same than old AD&D settings, and in combat they work more or less in the same way, where you have just some slight difference in names. The big difference in this game is that all of them might be used in scripted sequences and in many dialogues, while in other games you could always have a "passepartout" simply by boosting a couple of skills (like you could do in DA:O with coercion or like the intimidation/persuasion skills in NWN2). Here you cannot always do that, because there are situations that you can solve in a unique way thanks to your resolve, other cases where a high might could be of help and so on. But it's obvious that you cannot excel in everything therefore you will have to manage according to how your stats can do when facing every specific situation. A win-win situation requires a high resolve and you don't have that? Fine, you can try to deceive your opponent but then your character will shift to be considered a misleading person and maybe you don't want that to happen, so you can't help but use the brute force. Then you have the "social skills" which are set by how you decide to interact in many occasions with people i.e. if you continue to do aggressive answers or diplomatic ones you will gain points so that later the game will open you many other different oppurtunities to deal with problems. Moreover there is the "reputation" that you gain with factions, cities and depending on how you manage your stonghold. Finally there is also your background (i.e. class/race/place of origin) that can provide you some unique lines of dialogue. I also think that all of them are quite intuitive and easy to understand. The whole mix of attributes, social skills, reputation and background can really provide a huge range of customizations and by doing that players are granted with endless ways of roleplaying their characters. The combat is easy to manage considering that there aren't so many offensive/passive stats to learn and while there's some unique skill for each class there are also many universal skills which are used by every class. Imho the only feature that isn't very friendly to understand at the beginning is the resistance/health system but after some time you'll get accustomed to it.

Yes... I bloody hate having to deal with the Berseker Queen (or any of those super-aliens) on missions that are already pretty tight on turns :| Shen's Last Gift is pretty intense on iron man as well. Also, that piece of content is surprisingly emotional considering the genre of game XCOM is, and the soundtrack just rocks. I like Shen's Last Gift though (even the slightly clichéd psychotic AI) and you get the mech... and the ability to build more mechs! ... Alien Hunters... not so much :\

It was hilarious on my one Legend play though though, I waited until I had plasma tech before doing the Hunters main mission and that alien snake was dead in four hits

Still playing XRebirth and Stellaris. Man I hope they take the lessons learned from XRebirth, and make a similar game in the next game. Because getting away from their pure sim roots with the other X games is awesome. They do need to get some better script writers, voice actors, and animators. But what they have created is very nice so far.
My wish list for the next game would be better character animation, better voice actors, less static backgrounds, better cap ship interiors, your next ship only being able to fit a few weapons at once (instead of 6 different weapon systems, all crammed onto the hull).
Currently I'm trying to find more pirate ships to capture, and they are becoming very scarce. I thought they infinitely repawned, but I'm actuallh having trouble finding new ships to capture.
In stellaris, I started a new campaign. In my previous one, the habitable planets were so spread out it was hard to get a solid territory going. Both in offense and defense. So I started a new universe, and limited navigation to jump drives. luckily I'm in a corner with my jump routes, and no one near me (relitivley speaking). So I'm expanding out a bit, colinizing far off worlds, clearing out their surfaces of blockers, putting a station in orbit and fully upgrading it, then creating a sector and letting the ai manage those worlds, while I focus on the empire at large, the fleets I need to make sure my borders stay mine, and the diplomacy overall too.
Right now, there is a very powerful ancient empire unervingly close to me. So I'm expanding in the other direction.

Picked up Titanfall 2 today. Then I looked at the minimum specs and shouted a profanity. So I'm going to be trying it on the lowest graphical settings it has, tomorrow.
Even still, from what the average user and reveiwer has said, I'm ok with throwing money at a company which has shown signs of listening to the fan base. We wanted a campaign, and we got it. We wanted more variety, we got it. We didn't want to be left out of matches with dlc map packs, and we don't have to worry about that.
If they release a 3rd game, and they up that campaign length, and manage to find a way to make it better then 2 is now, I'll buy that game too. Because the developer is improving, not stagnating (like some others).
Today I installed and ran wasteland 2 on my laptop. and I watched my Lenovo G505s try its very best to run the game at the lowest graphical settings, and produce more heat the its fan and my cooling plate could dissipate. *sigh* this thing is getting too old for a laptop. Its only 4 years old!

Pillars of Eternity + White March 1 & 2 is over. Time to play The Banner Saga 1/2. To be honest I was planning to wait for the final installment before playing it but I am just too curious. Besides, both games are not very long therefore maybe I'll restart my campaign from scratch when the 3rd game comes.

I finally ordered Heavy Rain + Beyond Two Souls Collection on ps4. Never had ps3 so I never had a chance to play either of them. I can't wait! In the meantime, I'm doing a slow trilogy of ME run with mods. Of course, I'll stop once HR and BTS arrives. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/RebJidSPcxyF0U0Rr0uW.png) I only wish I could have some more time, but well... work, work.

Titan fall 3's multiplayer is actually pretty good. But I feel like they increased the times between spawns. Its very annoying, when playing a bunch of level 50 (max level) players, and having to wait so long between getting killed by folks who have everything unlocked, and re-spawning to try again.
But when I find a game with players around lvl 20 to 30, the game gets very fun.
