genkicolleen: Should I play Banished, Banner Saga, or Arcanum first? Any input?
avatar
LinustheBold: Arcanum is giant. And awesome. Or I think it's awesome; as a result of it being giant, I never got very far with it. Also, SAVE OFTEN. Because it's giant, it's quite easy to get yourself someplace that you can't get yourself out of - like, I got marooned in the intro area because I couldn't pay the toll to get out. Or something like that, it was a very long time ago. I'm looking forward to playing it for reals one day.
It was awesome, just a bit broken. My first characters tended to favor technology, but never got really far. After some time I created a mage and then I managed to play the game to the end. Nothing like sending summons to do your work.
But it really felt alive. This game has working trash bins and newspaper (more or less). And the world is really huge, even if most of it is empty. I once read that without fast travel one would need three real time days to go from one corner to the other.
The setting is also very interesting. I don't know many games that try to present industrial revolution and its consequences on a fantasy world. I can recommend, but one needs time to play.

Why did the tree fall down?

Crewdroog: lol

It thought it was an elephant!
Well, there was a pool table on top of it.

opticq: Go forth and buy all copies of Shadows and Dragonfall to speed up the Insomnia promo. :P
Geez opticq, you can't tell people to just go out and buy it, you have to make sure they take a look at the screenshots, view any preview videos (if available) and see if it looks like something interesting.

I also take a look at the description of the game and read the reviews --as many review, both good and bad. Sometimes there is a difference of opinion in a game which doesn't match that of the person who might like it.

It's not about pushing others to buy it, but finding those who will enjoy buying it.

Is there a list going of what hasn't shown up in this cycle yet? If so, anyone care to link it up? 829 pages is a bit much to dig through. LOL

The elephant took his trunk

JDelekto: snip
Oh no I totally get it, it was a joke. I do the same indepth research into games I buy too.

I wasn't being serious when I told Ragnarblackmane to buy the games.

I just saw the official announcement videos of the Wasteland 2 "Game of the Year" Edition for PS4 and Xbox One on YouTube. The GOTY uses the new Unity 5 engine and has enhanced graphics and new features. I went over to InXile forums to find out more about the GOTY edition. Apparently the GOTY edition is only for PS4 and Xbox One. PC is NOT getting the GOTY edition. That is after the PC gamers - NOT Playstation fanboys, NOT Xbox fanboys - kickstarted and funded the game at first. PC gamers got shafted in the ass again.
