really? that's surprising, the other king's bounty games i've played have been fantastic

the only issue with that series is that it's super stagnated and also it's become progressively less funny and quirky

like i married a frog in the first one

how cool is that

Yeah apparently the bugs are bad and the content is lacking. I can't talk, I've never put more than a few hours into any of them. Love the concept though.

Stellaris’ endgame may make it the best 4X ever

“So the last phase of the game, we throw a challenge at the player. Say you’re 250 years in and there's not much challenge against you, you’ve probably won. At this point there is a bunch of disasters that can happen,” explains Anward.

“For instance, let’s say we really like having robot slaves around but they're too dumb, right? They can only do the dumb stuff. We actually want them to research stuff for us, so we make them smarter and smarter and smarter, and eventually robots are doing everything in our empire and oh, they just decided they don't need us anymore. So, yes: robots and AI [give you] a massive advantage but it’s pretty dangerous to go too deep into. If you don't want to keep your robots dumb, you risk an AI uprising.”

Or, it might not happen at all. Instead, another avenue of research could create an equally dangerous threat, says Anward. “If you are experimenting in extremely fast ship technology - jump drives - then you might actually bore a hole into another dimension. Then the people there might decide that they like your dimension and they will come in and try and devour you.

Paradox are also considering something involving the game’s fallen empires, the classic trope of the decayed super-species that once ruled the stars but now only have a handful of worlds. Either one of these races will decide to kick themselves back into gear and come charging out of their peaceful regions in technologically superior ships - or two will, going to war with one-another over ancient feuds, with you and any other cowering mortal races rather stuck in the crossfire.

So... Cylon uprising, Species 8472 or the Shadow War from Babylon 5 as end games for your campaign. Stellaris is looking completely amazing.

I'm still wondering how I missed that free Dawn of War 2 DLC. Was it free because of some promotion, or because of a mistake.

Damn I need to just sleep for a month :( I'm running out of interesting CK2/EU4 content to watch or listen to now that I'm in the Paradox mood. I'm trying to hold out until the next big Steam sale to buy one, maybe I'll just have to cave and get them off of Paradox's site with this spring sale they're doing.

Is the game installed on c: drive? If not, move it there. If so, move game to another drive if you have one.

Perhaps you tried this too. From the dev -

For those of you with error code 2, can you please try the following.

1. Find your Steam install directory in windows explorer.
2. Right click, Properties.
3. Select the "Security" tab.
4. Check for the presence of "Users" in the "Group or user names" box.
5. If it's not present, they can select "Edit", find "Users" in the next window and select "Add

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I haven't played much of Knight after the fiasco. It seems to run ok on my 770, though.

im dealin with 30fps and Low everything but it's fun and it looks great

so cinematic bro


only real complaint so far other than the port is that they're taking control away from you a whole lot more than previous games

I was browsing the Marvel Heroes 2016 page (because I was deciding if it was time to try it out) and gave a look at the DLC packs to see what kind of heroes were in them and something about the Daredevil pack left me a little confused:

3wLb.png


Specifically, the line This pack features a 50% discount! while the discount I see (for the pack) is 15%. Does that line refers to something else rather than the discount for the release of the pack?

Better get used to the car. That is the one thing the game never stops pushing down your throat. If you like that (the bat car parts) , it is almost the best in the series.

If one of the three heroes in the package is discounted by 50% it will bring the entire package down by roughly 15% (16,7%).

I'm not 100% sure but I think that 50% thing is just a copy paste from their main website and is talking about the fact that buying the pack essentially is 50% cheaper than if you bought the stuff in-game.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
Also Elektra is a pre-order, so you wouldnt have a high discount on a bundle that includes her

I doubt the controls will ever translate well, and even if they did everything is stored on Nintendo's servers.

Keep on meaning to check out Marvel Heroes properly but there's that nagging fear it will get its hooks into me. Spent all Saturday, last and this evening ragging Diablo III to try and crack out the last few Seasonal objectives and it's all just a blur. Hate to think what 1,700+ hours of Marvel would do to you.

Pretty excited for this actually, since Beyond Earth has been a flop and I'm finally bored of Civ V, I've been looking for a new 4X game to play. I'm hoping Stellaris is it.
