dishonored was kind of boring

The game is as fun as the person playing it.

Good news, everyone: Civilization V's Community Patch Project (aka Vox Populi) mod is nearly complete with an expected full release in Summer 2016. It's a comprehensive, top-to-bottom reimagining of Civilization V, overhauling happiness, the civilizations themselves, victory conditions, and more, in an ambitious attempt to refine Civilization V's gameplay to its highest potential. The impressions from RPS sound very promising and were I not on the cusp of diving into Stellaris I'd be playing it in a heartbeat.

Find out more about the Community Patch Project over at its official forum on civfanatics.


Civilization 3, 4, and now 5 have had some really great mods. I can't wait for CPP to hit a full release.
 
Nice giveaways, and happy birthday.

Happy birthday Ludens and Red Wizard~!

Awesome giveaway! :D

Belated Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday Red Wizard.

Happy belated birthday!

Thank you, everyone! :D

Still need to finish the first one.

Is the DLC good? I got the GOTY Edition, but haven't see anything about them.

I've heard that they're great and pretty much like a whole new game. I loved the base game and really need to get to the DLC.

biggest issue with dishonored is that the story was super flat

if they did a bit more character work and just a general better story with more twists and turns and surprises that'd be perfect

the game also was a bit repetitive, specially since you didn't quite get to do many spell combinations unless you were just being loud and murderous for funsies

which btw non-lethal was totally boring and lame

so i guess there's a few problems, but the game was great, and the reveal trailer really gave me thief crazy mansion vibes so i'm really into it

as a sidenote, had a ton of fun with the couple of hours I put into Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition today. I liked vanilla back when it released but it never really clicked with me like the first did, perhaps because I was expecting too much of a direct sequel, but years later, and playing it just as the action adventure that it is (a genre which still isnt really abundant) I had a blast.
 
What are your thoughts about the new COD? Will the spaceships part be completely open sandbox like No Man's Sky where you jump from land to outerspace at any time or scripted events and chapters?

As a City fan, you can't help but hand it to Leicester, such an incredible story. Shame they couldn't have won at home after a match instead of through Spurs losing though.

Of course they're not going to be near the level of No Man's Sky.

So basically exactly what they did in the Dishonored DLC. :p

For you.
Imagine being the Leicester fan that bet on Leicester at the beggining of the season, handing a fiver while saying "ah yeah, never gonna happen!"

OFC, but I wanted to know if it is possible to jump from land to outerspace using the spaceship like in the trailer even it is limited and story driven. I don' expect the number of planets of No Man's Sky.

they just said on tv here that Tom Hanks (lol?) put 100 quid and now is set to win 500k or something (not that he needs it). No idea if its true

Agreed. However, I'm glad they only tied yesterday. Would've put the cherry on top of the shit cake LVG has created this year.

Good luck with that, cupcakes.

You know your game is in trouble when you have to advertise that you've made it more similar to WoW.

At this point it has to qualify as the longest, slowest death of any MMO right?

Wish NCSoft would just go ahead and release the server code when these games die so that people could run private servers without all the painful reverse engineering. It's not like they ever do anything with the damn IPs after they let the games die on the vine (or prematurely euthanize them, as the case may be.)

Someone might want them. Maybe.
