I've found myself playing almost entirely CCGs and FUMBBL (which is a java based blood bowl client). MMDoC, which is the king, but is also dead sadly Magic Duels, which is fine if you like MtG, but frankly, I find it kind of dull as they have too few game options and zero tournaments Spellweaver which started great, but somewhere I hit a wall with it and rarely fire it up Star Crusade which is similar to Hearth Stone mechanically, but I find

I keep trying to forget it. Thanks for reminding me of it again :(

MoO1 and 2 both had choke points in the technical sense due to galaxy configuration and range. I don't know where you get that the AI was brutally efficient in attacking either, but perhaps there were certain galaxy settings that helped it more than the ones I played on, not that I remember what those settings were. Of course my main gripe was always with GC2 model of open space. Which is still significantly different than what you had i

Choke points are far superior to open movement in my opinion. Not because it limits the player (though it does), because it makes it easier to give the AI a fighting chance. This was my main gripe in GC2 frankly, open space and massive speeds on fleets just let you do whatever you wanted to the poor AI. SotS is a hybrid in that not every race uses the same movement, but it's also true that playing against Tarkas (or Liir) is vastly different than against

Look, as much as I despise HS for being mostly devoid of interesting game play, their economy is not that terrible. It's not good though either, in fact, pretty much every other CCG out there right now has a superior economy to HS, but that still doesn't make the HS economy 'bad'. Just worse. The real issue with HS is that it's just too simplistic and the meta always turns into the same decks beating on themselves, becaus

It's likely that most people who like XCOM already have it. Or, in my case, played it enough in the day that I honestly don't want to ever play it again because for all the cool it has some mission issues that just take too much damn time doing nothing to want to go back. At least Apoc let you switch to real time and run around on the last alien hunt :)

I like the sound of it, thanks for sharing!

My daughter picked up Valkeria Chronicles. I picked up nothing, because nothing on my wishlist ever got a big discount :(

I'm vary familiar with Illwinter and Dom3. The reason I never bothered with Dom4 was because the insane amount of micro required to play later into games did not seem to be addressed. It's a great game though, and a great company, but to play it seriously simply requires too much micro for me to enjoy. So I believe the user reviews, and I can look at change logs, but none of that really tells me if it still takes an hour to run your turns when you re

What in Dom4 is significantly better than Dom3? I really wanted to pick up dom4 too, but my recollection of when it came out was that it was still pretty borked as far as the micro elements went.

hopefully the game is nothing like that trailer though :)

So your issue was more with Triumph than with AoW? I can agree with that, but I also just felt that AoW3 was very blah. I did wait for whatever big sale off Steam and picked it up with all DLC for ~$10. That was reasonable, it was probably worth that, but compared to EL it just left me flat. I'm hopeful that WoM is different enough that it will keep my interest longer, but I'm taking the wait and see with it too. Looking

[quote who="RavenX" reply="41" id="3560885"] WoM has come a long way since release. I like it. It's not the best thing since sliced bread, mind you, but it's just about as good as AoW3 in my book. [/quote] :) But did you like AoW3? I did not particularly care for it myself.

At this point in my life I will not play a game that has a (major) system I don't like. TUs are one of those systems. Open movement in space games is really close to such a system (thus, no more GalCiv either).

[quote who="RavenX" reply="19" id="3560268"] Quoting uberlicker, reply 6 Xenonauts made me gag in horror. How could you not like Xenonauts? Was it the graphics? It was the graphics, wasn't it? [e digicons]:P[/e] [/quote] The graphics didn't help, but ultima

[quote who="Rhonin_the_wizard" reply="9" id="3559282"] Could we not turn this into a OldX-COM vs NewXCOM thread. Thank you. [/quote] Yeah, that wasn't my intent. Just that the two different combat systems seem to appeal to different people, and it's rare to find someone who actually enjoys both of them. I know that after playing 2T I went back and played some of whatever form the beta of Xenonauts was in, and just... quit.<

[quote who="RavenX" reply="5" id="3558844"] Might be good. The first one was a ok game. Of course we were all let down the remake wasn't as in depth as the original, but for it's own game it was ok. Xenonauts was the far better "X-Com" reboot. On another note, UFO Extraterrestrials 2 should finally be out this year. It looks to have quite a bit of depth. [/quote] Of course, it all anyones opinion, but Xenonauts? Really. <

I was all like, well this should be cool, I loved the new XCOM. Then... There was a snake man... OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGMOGMOGMGOMGOGMOGMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGM UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Load officially blown.

I'd have to change my mind about MOBAs which I can assure you will never happen :)

Thanks, MOBA was all I needed to hear to skip it :)

God, I don't want to go through any of that, I just want someone to tell me what kind of a game it is and why I should be interested in it.

I know what the acronym is, I want to know what the game is. thanks for the link, but just clicking it didn't give me the quick and dirty I was interested in :)

I have a question. What the hell is Soada?

No, the game is far from great in my opinion. I mean it sounds like it should be great, but every time I play it I just get bored and go back to Endless Legend. I honestly don't know what it is about AoW that sucks the life from me, but everytime I get excited to play it, and then start playing it, within like 30m it starts to become a chore to keep going. I can't put my finger on it though, but it's there.
