I feel I am regretting this choice so far, but 75% off at least so hopefully the campaign gives a good time as I go through it.
I'm an AoS fanboy and I still couldn't get into it. Its just sooo slow.
Looks and sounds good though!

Trying out a new (new to me, I always stayed in Trumbull Valley) map in State of Decay 2. The game just got a quality of life update.
Its a pretty fun zombie apocalypse survival game.

Never really been an RTS fan and even Ogre Battle didn't quite click with me, but this just has a super slick battle system that hits a sweet spot between mass battles and party skirmishes that I'm finding super enthralling. Thus far its not VanillaWare's most eye catching game, but the beautiful art really helps keep the unit types memorable. Runs great on the Switch and definitely a game well suited to handheld mode.
Is this Unicorn Overlord related to Ogre Battle in some way? Been waiting for a sequel to that one since N64..
It's not directly related in the sense that its not set in the same world or made by the same people, but its very much the same kind of game. You have an army of characters across a variety of classes that you arrange into little parties (initially 2 man teams that grow into 5 man parties) that you give commands to via an RTS style interface. When they encounter enemy units it cuts to a battle screen that plays out automatically based on a set of rules for each class. It's a cool mix of RPS strategy with certain units countering others and finding synergistic class combinations that cover these weaknesses. Definitely give the demo a try if you like the Ogre Battle games. It's a more than worthy imitator.
Took a closer look at it. Boy, that sure does look a lot like Ogre Battle! The main character even has the same blue hair. I'll have to add it to me endless list of games.

Went through an interesting bunch of game switching. I was playing Terra Invicta a while ago and then got bored and played Mechwarrior 5 with a friend as well as C&C: red alert 2 (the entire command and conquer series dropped on steam about a few weeks ago) and then started playing C&C 3.
Man i didn't realize just how OP nod bike rush or spamming bikes and buggies was in the fairly early-mid game for c&c 3. You just spam rocket bikes and run past enemies and around them. The amount of damage they do is so high you can just bypass any resistance and which can't keep up with your bikes and destroy enemy structures.
Red alert 2 was also fun. When you first get prism tanks and navy seals you can put the seals in ifv's and run them up with prism tanks and maybe mirage tanks or main battle tanks. Only takes a few prism tanks and navy seal ifv's to wipe out whatever enemy base is in your way unless they have tanks. Sometimes dealing with Navy is a bit annoying for me but dolphins with echo weapons are silly. Also the allied navy is mostly just a carrier fleet and anti-air/anti-missile defense. Oddly that makes the flak ships of the reds very potent against allied ships which forces you to need dolphins and their little echo weapons.

Terrifying Doombull

Millennia.
I'm enjoying it. Balance is wonky in places (and the player can easily break the game), and certain things don't work as well as they could (UI needs to not be spread out in corners of the screen), but I'm enjoying the inherent variety built into the game. And working out the complexity and what works well, and what production chains work well.
Definitely needs more map types, however. Islands doesn't work well with their tile/sprawl system, and inland seas keeps throwing weird almost single biome results at me
I had long gotten bored of Civ6 (and Civ5) because it stayed buggy, the AI, and every game was the same game. Unless I consciously tried to do something else, every game went down the same path and unfolded the same way.

I haven't played it, but my recollection is that Exodus is open world, while the previous games are fairly linear.

Oh man, Red Alert 2. That's a blast form the past. Had like the greatest intro music ever.
Yeah i should probably finish off the end of the allied campaign for ra2. I was on the final mission where you teleport a bunch of dudes into moscow or wherever the final mission takes place. I only tried it once (not very seriously) and fought like 3 kirov's with a crap ton of rocket ifv's....it didn't work out so well. I forgot just how much hp kirov's had but it was on hard difficulty and i think it was a special guard forces so they probably had more health and damage output than normal since that's how all old rts games balanced things out (as well as cost reductions or possible free units for a.i. opponents).
If there's one serious negative i have for red alert 2 it's the fact you couldn't build multiple units from multiple factories yet. I could have 5 factories and still just produce tanks from one of them. C&C 3 doesn't have that problem. Also you going back to left clicking units to move and attack is something i'm not used to ever since starcraft 1 and more modern C&C games came by.
-------
C&C 3 on the other hand is a game i want to play multiplayer in so badly as well. I think the problem with Nod is that obelisks become worse in the later game (perhaps i should power them up more with beam cannon artillery for range and rate of fire boosts). A big problem however is you can only build one obelisk per command center so it can be slow. Meanwhile aside from avatars with possible upgrades it tends to be a harder offensive game if you have to face mammoth tanks (at least with railgun upgrades). Juggernauts are oddly where gdi's main offensive power is and as long as you can hit them with stealth tanks or something you should be good. For the Scrin they tend to be Air power heavy (air to ground attacks mostly) whereas nod probably has the best helicopter in the game (venoms with stealth detection, laser cannon upgrades, aa capability).
I don't know why they decided to make both venoms and attack bikes so good but then oddly most things in the game have a purpose at different times and occasions. It's a shame the nod terrorist suicide bomber dudes seem to do such little damage to vehicles in the late game. I imagine with some precision defense related destruction that they could tear an enemy base apart but against high tier vehicles that's just not the case. I may try them again against mammoth tanks just to see how well they do against them but it's probably pretty terrible.
Stealthed raider buggies with the emp coils tend to do well however. Imagine a unit running up to a spam of vehicles and just turning them all off for a while. You can have that much longer to destroy the enemy force while they can't fight back and that's them. Crazy how a lot of early tier units for nod still have a use even as upgraded parts for the avatar war mechs.
-------
I also remembered i have Act of Aggression (spiritual successor to Act of War) which i've been trying to get a friend to play with me. That game died so fast but i swear it was fun way back. I'm not sure what killed it whether lack of ads for it or something. If i recall the multiplayer scene died within days or a couple weeks of the game existing. I remember it being fun but slower than a lot of command and conquer games.
-------
I've also been playing a good chunk of MechWarrior 5 with same friend as mentioned earlier. I'm using the Crusaders with four srm6's, 2 med lasers and 2 machine guns. It hits hard but you gotta watch out for heating issues. I may need to either get better heat dissipation or generally not use my medium lasers. Generally the srm's take out chunks of enemy mechs. Even in one mission where i did fairly badly and over-heated a lot i still took out like 5 mechs and a bunch of other units.

I have Acts of Aggression. Kind of odd to think it's by the same company that's done Wargame, Steel Division, and WARNO. I think it got hurt with players because of the way that the resources were handled. I think it's telling that one of the first things Eugen did was to patch in a mode that reduced them all to just cash.

Lol i know it wasn't but it's confusing. That said one factory per unit type was annoying.
@Eumerin:
I know but i prefer the 3 resources build. Maybe it's because i never used the one resource build. I mean it seems to not be an issue for some strategy games. I guess starcraft proved more than 2 is bad.

It's been a while, but I don't remember having a problem with it either. I do seem to recall that there was something a bit unusual about the way that one or two of the resources were handled. But again, it's been years since I last looked at the game. Anyway, Eugen felt a need to collapse them into just one. So I'm guessing that they were seeing a lot of complaints about the system.

I'm considering starting a new game as a female corpo V, unlike my other Vs, who are jerks with a heart of gold or good guys who choose the "good" thing under it all and rebels against the corpos. This new character is going to be a full-on selfish and corporate sycophant. So, I will likely choose either the Arasaka ending or be a kiss-up for the NUSA.

Finished Alan Wake 2 over the weekend. Combat never quite clicked with me, but the story absolutely did. I'm a total sucker for this brand of Donnie Darko style meta-physical horror and how well the game explores it. Definitely not as fun as Control in terms of gameplay, but probably my favorite story Remedy has crafted by a long shot.

No it was! I wasn't being sarcastic. Having a different button for moving a unit from selecting it prevents accidently selecting another unit when you critically have to move a unit right now thereby losing you the whole war!

Anyway i've been playing C&C 3 Kane's Wrath. I beat the remainder of the Nod missions in C&C 3 so i figured i'd try the expansion. I have to say Nod feels a lot stronger in the original. Of course if i recall gdi needed some help taking out things like the suicide bomber dudes Nod used. Only basic infantry and snipers tended to do enough.
Meanwhile in Kane's Wrath they have a ground unit that's pretty fast and shreds air units and an air unit which detects stealth and shreds infantry only and is a transport. I guess they needed something but it felt like they went the other route with it. I suppose Nod will just have to stick to defenses and vehicles in Kane's Wrath.

Played through the first Fallout over the weekend, trying a luck build (Nah, who am I kidding, you need at least AGI 9 or you're doomed ![](/s/i/a/baf5f2e54c6b17d5c5d39aecadfa1272.gif) ) which did lead me into some great random encounters early on, the first being the Nuka Cola truck with close to 6K in caps and a bit later onwards, the crashed UFO with the alien pistol, just a shame I didn't have any points in energy weapons, or it would've carried me until I could get the turbo plasma rifle. But until then, the .223 pistol a.k.a. Irwin's pistol a.k.a. That Gun! did all the heavy lifting for me.
Was a fun ride, still holds up pretty well, but not the friendliest of games.

Playing original Dragon's Dogma. Weird game! The plot seems to be nonsense, sort of sub-Final Fantasy level stuff, but the combat is fun and I like the monster designs. And it's pretty cool to lead a party into battle.
It's also ridiculously hard, I was not expecting it to be so difficult in the early stages!

Da Boss wrote:Playing original Dragon's Dogma. Weird game! The plot seems to be nonsense, sort of sub-Final Fantasy level stuff, but the combat is fun and I like the monster designs. And it's pretty cool to lead a party into battle.
It's also ridiculously hard, I was not expecting it to be so difficult in the early stages!
Where are you at? The plot itself doesn’t really pick up until right near the end. With most of the subplots being more immersive background.
There is actually a few different ways a lot of quests can go or be missed, but won’t ever tell you about at all.
One of my favourite quests tells you one thing, but the best outcome is to ignore the quest and do something else.
I remember that difficulty quite well, hopefully you have fun!

I clocked Cyberpunk 2077 with my Nomad V by working with the Aldecaldos, a bittersweet but poignant ending. It may or may not be his "canon" ending in my eyes, as it makes the most sense to a nomad, I guess. I began a new campaign as a female Corpo V and, with her, likely do the opposite of my other Vs, being the most evil and selfish character possible. Who will pretend to be nice and polite in dialogue but horrible in action. Will be fun!

"The best way to lie is to tell the truth." Attelus Kaltos.
My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.
The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?

Still playing Midnight Suns and enjoying it. I guess it didn't sell that well for Firaxis and I can see why. It's a weird card based TBS game which is niche but beyond that it's even weirder. It's like a social club simulator. I spend like 75% of my time hanging out and talking to my superhero friends about their personal lives. I'm in a book club with Captains America and Marvel and Blade, so weird. So it's niche game within a niche game but I like it.

Been playing my female Corpo V, using her as a pistols/hacking build, one I've never done before as I've preferred weeb with katana/engineer builds. It's pretty fun. Been running around grinding by killing random gangers and doing GCPD gigs as I'm planning on doing the quests after getting Johnny Silverhand lodged in my skull.

Yeah, from what I've read the high amount of running around and talking to everyone between missions turned a lot of people off.
Also, there are apparently still a lot of bugs that were never fixed.
