Re: GOG Sales

Also you can claim a free copy of Mount & Blade http://www.gog.com/game/mount_blade M&B is a fantastic game, although M&B:Warband is a vastly improved version of the same. I've spent at least several hundred hours on them (likely in the low thousands). Even better than M&B on its ow...

Re: Sid Meier's Civilization V

Most of the complaints I've heard are to the effect of it's basically a Civ V reskin/expansion. I don't really see that as too damning, though, considering 1) Civ V is excellent, and 2) Civ V's expansions really added to and altered the game, which makes me confident that Beyond Earth expansions wi...

Re: Sid Meier's Civilization V

Definitely interested in discussing, but my schedule can be pretty unpredictable. I might be able to join in on a game at some point, though!

Liking Beyond Earth so far, but we'll see how well it keeps my attention. Opinions are divided on it so far.

Re: Fantasy Life

I liked Rune Factory 4, so I was looking forward to this title, but it was down to this or the new Civilization game and I was looking forward to Civ more. I'm reading impressions and so far it sounds mostly positive, so it'll probably be on my holiday wishlist. Really glad to hear it's more nuanced...

Re: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call

I'm still playing this off and on (it's great for a 10-minute session here and there). I'm not sure how I feel about quest maps, although they're way better than the system from the first game. I feel like there's always an ideal path through them, assuming you're going for shards (reach all bosses)...

Re: Pier Solar

Did you get a copy of the Genesis version? The colour palette and sprite issues should be better in the HD version, but I doubt they will have addressed the writing and the balancing. I could be wrong, though! Yeah, I ordered it quite a while ago (I want to say 2009 or so), back when it was still i...

Re: Pier Solar

I'll be holding off on this unless it's massively improved over the original Genesis version. Ended up getting another console for it since my old Genesis was a couple thousand miles away. It was okay enough, I guess, but it had some massive balance issues (some characters were useless), the color p...

Re: Wasteland 2

Played about 17 hours over the weekend - probably will be a month or so before I'm even able to get that much gaming time in again! I'm liking the pacing (generally) and the branching options to most of the questlines. For example (Ag Center / other place (Highlands?) spoiler) you can only save one ...

Re: Dark Souls II

This game didn't stick with me the same way the first two did. I was in the middle (well, at the start) of a faith-based second run (mostly to take care of Lucatiel) when I abandoned ship. I'll definitely go back to it and finish that up, then start working on my collect-all-spells play-throughs. I...

Re: Dark Souls II

Looks like the third DLC is out in about a week (delayed slightly). Haven't made it to any DLC yet, but been gradually moving through with a new character (no shield, no spells, greatsword + cestus + crossbow). Might have to make some concessions about spells and shields for some areas, but we'll see!
