  1. Grand Strategy Crusader Kings III

    They are lucky to have momentum just from being around, releasing games for 20 years. If a new developer other than PDox had released Victoria 3 or even CK 3 as it was on release, they would've folded already with the generic 50 negative/mixed reviews on Steam. Console is also making up more and...

  2. Grand Strategy Victoria 3

    Yup, 17% drop takes it under 10k again. Guess they didn't like the patch after all.

  3. Flight Combat Sims

    Heroes of the 357th? I liked it. They had some missions where had you try to stop V1 rockets by tipping them over with your wing in flight. But yeah, a lot of air to ground. I remember lots of strafing Paris with cannon... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9hbyRWB7kI

  4. Red Dead Redemption 2: Good or shit?

    +1 I haven't played it either, but seen a lot of videos on Youtube. My impression is it's an open world game that had a ton of work put into it (cue joke videos about devs working on getting realistic looking horse turds...) that actively discourages you from being in an open world. Apparently...

  5. Grand Strategy Victoria 3

    Karl Marx is in the game, guys, it's Karl Marx and it's really him with the beard and everything! You can collect him like a Pokemon no matter which country you play!! I can't wait for the Che Guevara DLC. Shut up, I know he's later so we'll call this guy Chai Guevera, his great-grandfather...

  6. Decline meh Ubisoft (Ubi fuckery general thread)

    They probably took inspiration from the only African in Japan at the time, that everyone likes to use nowadays, just like they used the English 'samurai' William Adams back in the 80's/90's. I wonder if they'll stick to the historical ending for the African guy...

  7. Taken prisoner mechanic

    You'd really like Hegemony III: Clash of the Ancients then. Routed units try to get back to their own territory, if your units are faster and catch up to them, they become slaves to work in your resource producing buildings (mines and so on), with a hit to faction relations. Usually only...

  8. Taken prisoner mechanic

    Rimworld also has the possibility that enemies will kidnap your wounded/downed dudes, carry them off the map and then you have to go to some other map location to rescue them. Sometimes random people will show up begging for shelter as escaped prisoners and if you accept them in, the dudes they...

  9. Grand Strategy Victoria 3

    I'm surprised nobody here talked about/played the original Victoria. It's a tight, great game that looks a little ugly now, but I still play it. By contrast, Victoria 2 is so streamlined yet annoying at the same time, I haven't been able to finish a single campaign to the end and the less said...

  10. Grand Strategy Victoria 3

    Victoria 3 is back hovering at 10k players for the first time in months. Will patch 1.2 be enough to keep them there? Who knows...

  11. Cuban Missile Crisis / Carribean Crisis / The Aftermath

    I haven't played this but did play Blitzkrieg (and Sudden Strike) quite a lot back in the day. It really is so detailed yet so simple and repetitive, so don't feel bad. Generally you micro a few tanks at a time, use infantry in small groups as expendable scouts and if you have artillery, use...

  12. Escape From Tarkov

    Surprised this didn't get mentioned here. After that cheating video, police raided the servers of the biggest cheating site to shut it down (in China...) and then the devs banned 6,700 user accounts for cheating. https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/06/russian-game-developer-bans-and-doxes-6700-cheaters/

  13. Flight Combat Sims

    Yeah, I like all those old manuals. People did simulators right back in the day. The Los Angeles class sub sim Jane's 688 Hunter/Killer was something like 600 pages and told you everything you ever wanted to know about baffles, active vs passive sonar, thermal layers, etc, as well as giving...

  14. Updates shouldn't be free

    The devs weren't trying to do a multiplayer game. I don't know how you read the word lootbox but missed the words singleplayer focused literally 2 words after it. As mentioned before, it's primarily a singleplayer focused game, but they added multiplayer and coop because people complained. So...

  15. Feature bloat

    I saw a review of Yakuza Like a Dragon when it was just releasing. There's a minigame that's literally speed typing what's on a chat window in the game (or hitting controller buttons in time) and if you win, you get a cutscene. Also, as all open world games need interactive NPCs, the devs...
