Any gamers around here?

I'd ask for a refund.  Failing that, I'd either deal with the headache or sail the seven seas.

Either way, be more careful next time!

It's the new Star Wars game. It's a good game. Enjoying it so far. Just don't get why I need to install Origin to play it.

VR? No thanks.

VR? No thanks.

only when they perfect it so it doesn't hurt your neck, and make it affordable enough that anyone will own it. otherwise its just a pointless fad.

Half-life 3 confirmed?

Well, I think it's a prequel, so they haven't counted to three yet.

I'm cautiously optimistic about AoE4

I really liked Age of Empires III, on paper at least.  Love me some deckbuilding, heroic characters, and ruthless colonialism.  And are you familiar with the Home City element?  No?  I'll break out the slides.

However, the interface was...comment dites-vous?...big piece of merde.  Combat - especially land-vs-naval combat - was clunky as hell, xp caps were apparently hard-coded in, the sound design was deafness-inducing, there were surprisingly few playable civilizations, and the AI was pretty much brain-dead.  But the ocean was beautiful and cannonshells smash into the ground (or settlers) with a satisfying thwump, so it had that going for it.

The expansions added more civilizations, and freshened things up quite a bit, but frustratingly, you could only load one expansion's content at a time, in some sort of perverse gamer equivalent of Sophie's choice.  Sick bastards.

Hopefully, they learned how to polish the strategy and progression of the game while at the same time giving the series the true breadth of content it rightfully deserves.

I've returned to RS3, got tired of Albion Online. It's basically the  combat-only version of RuneScape. So I'd rather just have the whole package.

Command and Conquer as it actually was:

Mods are truly manna from the heavens.  I may have to reinstall.

Amplitude = the devs behind the Endless Space games.  Good relations with them I have.  And they're a studio we can't afford to lose.

Well, they're coming out with a Civilization-like game.  Should be interesting.
