Playing a lot of wc3 lately. Just the custom games cause the regular matches are filled with people that literally just build an army to take down their team mates. Its shocking how pathetic people can be....
Anyways they've got these websites that are like bots you can set up to host custom games so I've been playing a lot of Orc gladiators, footmen frenzy, Tower defenses, and more. I've been trying to get a final fantasy tactics game going but I think "tactical turns people off  I miss it when wc3 was in its prime. Hopefully wc4 will come sometime in the near future.

12 hours in and I can safely say that I haven't enjoyed a new game as much as Stardew Valley in years. And it still keeps throwing new twists at me! Farming is so chill and relaxing. Definitely gives me that "one more turn" feel.

It's now or never! Blizzcon is coming, and all their known project have come full cycle: it's too early for announcing expansions to either Overwatch or WoW, and they always announce at least one big thing through the event. So it's either Diablo III Exp/Diablo IV or Warcraft IV. Rumors seem to cover both. I'm scared, but hyped at the same time...

Neera is a romancable character, it could be that. (I've never romanced her before because I rarely take her and the only time I took her, I romanced Dorn instead.)
seems to mess up the following conversation as well.
Screen
got a mod on that allows same-ex romance for her and the priest. gonna try without it later.
i can't say i've had that issue with her. I haven't played BG:EE after Siege of Dragonspear (and its updated interface) came out.
it's definitely a bug though.

What kinds of rumors have you heard? I've only read about how their RTS team will be tackling something new after Starcraft, which is good news. But I've also seen the job listings for Diablo. While it's not what I want entirely, if they made an awesome RTS out of the Diablo universe id be open to that. Wc3 was the best Of its kind cuz of the hero units. If only they would have incorporated that into Starcraft then I would love that game.

There are some rumors here and there, but nothing substantial as of yet. I think we're closer to sth related to Diablo. I don't think it will be the next entry cause it's too early (we're talking about Blizzard here), the only chance of this happening is that they already started to work on it a short while after D3 release and in consequence of it's intial bombing (read: fan critic). Either this or they might still be working on the second expansion. There were some rumors (Druid class sketches for instance), plus WoW shows that they can 'prolong' their games life as long as they want. And there's nothing better for it then an expansion.
I think it's a given they'll announce something big, cause they won't have anything otherwise. You could say that the last Blizzcon was already quite overstretched in this manner. They actually didn't announce anything new, they only updated the things that were already known, not counting Heartshtones LoE expansion, yet that was something we could've deduced going by the games releases cycle.
This time they really need something to keep the hype machine rolling... I'm rooting for Warcraft IV, but at the same time I'm afraid this won't be exactly what we're expecting. We can't deny things are different and a traditional RTS might have a hard time now. Blizzard might go for a really big gamble here and the game might turn out as something compeltely different. Or they might go for nostalgia factor and take the same road they did with Starcraft II.

Between TQ and Grim Dawn at this point, I think I prefer Grim Dawn's refinement and mythology more.
You made me curious so I bought it, and while I enjoy the fact that they just upgraded TQ so I find again the same interface, keys, skills and mechanics, I am much less happy with the atmosphere, too dark and gloomy, hard to find your path, then the loot pick system is downgraded. Or maybe I didn't find how, but now you have to move your mouse over the objects to see when they interact. In TQ we could refine loot so only exceptional items showed.

I got ps4 right.. And there is not a single casual game I have play. Everyone of them requires dedication, time, and if I switch from game to game over a months time then I lose sense of controls. Also destiny won't let me even play unless I download an update, not even the content already installed.
Right now I'm not playing anything and I'm a bit sad but it's all good I work 5 days a week now anyways. Which is why I need more casual games.
I have for example:
Witcher 3
Farcry 4 and primal
Fallout 4
GTA V
Dragon age inquisition
I mean, none of these games really suit my needs unfortunately. I tried to continue my nightmare goal on dragon age but I pretty much forgot how to play.
I've been wanting to explain this for awhile without using another thread and sorry if this is out of place but all in all I'm playing nothing right now  ((

@Celfious
Or maybe you simply have the gamers version of middle-age crisis? I have something similiar, there's pretty much not a game atm that would keep me hooked like they've used to. I play some games casually like Heartshtone atm, and can't find in myself to even start something 'bigger' like Witcher 3 Blood and Wine (it just sits there on my drive, I've touched it maybe once since it's release).
I'm keeping my hopes for Mafia III. This one seems leek a really good material to rekindle my interest in games. Even if it's yet another GTA clone Mafia games have always had a great story and atmosphere, and this entry appears to be having all gears in the right place

Yes that sounds about right blob. I may put some of this up on eBay before the value drops, then I could justify forking out a few 20s to try another genre or two. Something that doesn't require feelings won't or long process to level etc etc...
However comma... MMOs I believe would get me on at least a few solid binges. My wifi won't have it though right now lol
But I think you're right on this middle age game crisis.

been playing farcry 3 alot in the past couple days.
...
after the first island being awesome and having much to explore and kill(and then snowing citra and killing the god )...
the second island BLOWS. nowhere near as exciting as the first. it's just lots and lots of grass, with hardly anything to explore whatsoever: little to no subterranean cave tunnels, hardly any animals threatening me at every turn, hardly any cool ruins to explore. i mean, the snow. wtf, ubisoft? how are you gonna have the initial island be cool as a snow, and then make the second island look like it was rushed due to a deadline or something? there's NOTHING GOING ON on the second island. it looks like something a KID made. just hills of grass with hardly any trees or foliage/animals/caves? the snow? what am i supposed to do now? go back to the 1st island so i can enjoy myself, and forget about the rest of the game? 
the only thing cool about the second island, is if the bad guys call in reinforcements, a chopper shows up. and that was shot down with one round from the grenade launcher.

Finshed two of the three Fire Emblem Fates game. I've already said what I think about this installment so far and unfortunately completing Conquest didn't change my views on the game. Story is weak, dialogues are infantile (or where they always like this I can't seem to remember...) there's a lot of crying, sobbing, screaming etc and avatar is such a crybaby. Aside from maybe the siblings (and shapeshifters, but I always had a weak spot for these kind of characters in FE games) characters were not memorable... Gameplay-wise this is enjoyable as a FE game can be, though I did find myself rather 'plowing' through it then anything else (maybe it's the plot doing?). I think decisions they made regarding new mechanics were mostly a miss, I prefer older entries in this matter. There's still Revelations so I have some expectations as supposedly it has the best story of the three.
Don't get me wrong I still enjoyed both games a lot, my criticism comes from the fact that I liked previous entries more. For isntance if someone wants to play a FE game I would suggest starting with Awakening...

forgot to mention: played another ubisoft game for 10 hours or so on sunday: assassin's creed "black flag".
first off, the graphics are amazing. except for one setback: the ocean/water. i don't see how in the hell you could have amazing graphics everywhere else, and some of the snowtiest graphics i have ever seen, regarding water and water-based animations. they reminded me of "goldeneye" for n64, ffs. the ocean graphics for swimming in the ocean are next to non-existent. it's like they forgot to even ADD them. or, like farcry 3's snowty second island; maybe they had a deadline. seems to me, that would be one of the first things they'd be focusing on, since the game is played ON ISLANDS WITH PLENTY OF OCEAN.
secondly, the gameplay. awesome again. being able to climb like a monkey on crack everywhere, is pretty goddamn sweet(not to mention, the stealth/ambush kills are the bees knees). if farcry 3 had combined these graphics(minus the ocean) and climbing abilities/objects to climb(and if the 2nd island hadn't sucked monkey balls), it would have been one of my favorite games of all time(i still really enjoy the 1st island, but whatever). ...now, as for the ease of climbing when you are trying to chase someone on foot through a town... well, that's really aggravating. the fact that the pirate will try to climb some decorative posts while running after someone who's ground-level(and who outdistances you pretty damn quick if you snow up), is infuriating. i found myself screaming at the t.v. just like i do when i'm playing online fighters and i'm dealing with idiots or cheaters. snowing stupid. you should have to do a button combo to start climbing. x + square comes to mind. ffs.
something i want to bring up about gameplay: sailing and warring with other ships, is awesome. so is whaling(although i only got as far as "whaling" bull sharks). a huge blast. and the bull sharks are goddamn HUGE. i'd love to see the great whites, but sadly, i won't have time to peruse this game, as i'm not bringing my system with me to college.
i haven't played so far as to dive underwater and have to fight off sharks or whatever(not sure if that was even the game for it), but i really would have liked to. oh well, another game i'll be getting in the future.
one last point, that i want to drive home to ubisoft(wicked spoiler alert):
WHY THE snow DID YOU THINK IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE THE GAME ACTUALLY A SIMULATION? DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT REMOVING PLAYERS FROM IMMERSION WOULD BE SOMETHING ANYONE WOULD snowING WANT???
bad move, ubisoft. your hatred for players is showing. whoever thought THAT up, needs their head put in a vice. like, now, please. seriously, WTF.
