What are opinions on Civilization IV for those who played it?
The Complete Edition is only 3,80€. I do own Civ V base game. Is it worth getting the older one, too?
Or is only fps crowd left here.

In some ways I prefer Civ IV. But that's mostly because I like the unit management and stacks of the older versions better. Also not totally sold on city states. That said, V is a cleaner game and is probably a bit better overall after the expansions than IV. If it were me, I'd get Civ IV only if you miss the older style of unit and city management and don't have access to Test of Time.

Finished Whispering Willows. Took me about three and a half hours. Got all achievement but one involving a secret room, by which the name and the image of the achievement have me thinking it's a
Mario
reference. Will have full impressions a bit later, going to play Long Night first.

Juat beat Lost Planet 3.
What I said earlier about the game still stands. Since it sums up my feelings even after beating it. Too bad the game sets up for a sequel that isn't going to happen. Though thankfully it's nothing major.

So it would go (In Chronological Order)

LP3, LP4, LP1, LP2

Good to know, thanks. I usually don't play strategy games, let alone turn-based ones.
But I find it hard currently to commit fully in a game and think Civ may be a game where I can play 10-20 mins and pause and come back later to it.
I'll watch out for Civ IV and Civ V deals.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is amazing

Just got back from it was a damn fine movie. Easily the best of the summer so far.


Talking about Apes.
The game for the Tim Burton film was pretty bad.

Sonic ASRT gameplay from today's session with Dunder...

I had more matches recorded but i just wanted to upload my best one. :p Also i have no idea why this doesn't have sound...

So you're the one that hit me near the end and kept me from ever catching up to 1st! Joking of course, nice shot. Thanks for uploading that, it really was a fun race we had. I hope Steam GAF can do more in the future. Just a couple of suggestions though, you can get a boost by doing a stunt when you go off a jump and try to drift for long continuous runs as that generates boosts once it ends.

Speaking of which, Dunder gifted me Euro Truck Simulator 2. He's trying to slow me down and I'm afraid it's going to work.
 
So, i finally finished alice madness returns, and what a wonderfull game!

It took 15 hours and got a 94% completition, and I kinda disliked the reuse of puzzles and some areas felt a bit too long, but solid game nevertheless

I have some questions...

In the extra content section, there is a "characters" section in which I have 42 of 72. Where are the others? higher difficulty? (played no normal) new game+?

Also, there is a "troubling visions" in which i have 0 from 40. Do I need to play higher difficulty to get them?

I recommend the game if anyone want to get it, or have it on they library. Start it and it will get you.

haha, good one. My Civ V sessions usually last 6+ hours, just because they're turn-based doesn't mean you'll have time for a break ;)

CSGO was fun tonight and I don't usually have fun in CSGO. I don't even know how it says I have 70 hours, I barely touch the game. Probably had it open once for card generation lol.

We should do the same for natural selection 2. That is a game I haven't touched much in a long time and it has been on sale for 1-3 dollars about a bazillion times. Another great team shooter.

Also, serious sam co-op can support like 32 people lol
 
Jesus, I just randomly poisoned some drunk women who wouldn't pay her tab with embalming fluid. It's crazy how much is packed into every corner of Planescape, definitely didn't dig as much when I played it as a kid.

They're both related to the memory bottles, IIRC. The "troubling vision" is what you get when you find all of them in a given level and I believe they also occasionally unlock character bios.
