Yeah, check out Quill18 on youtube if you need help in any sim based game. He is very instructive and keeps his videos light and interesting.

Galactic Civilizations has been on my wish list for a while and is included in the bundle below along with some DLCs and other games I donā€™t know.

This might also be of interest for @JonnyA

I died in Disco Elysian pretty early in the game and Iā€™m going to start over with a new character. Not sure why I posted that just now but here we go!

Iā€™m late to the party, but Rocket League is pretty much the only thing Iā€™ve been playing the last few weeks.

In general, anyone here have an XBOne theyā€™re online with frequently?

Disco is so much fucking fun, I just wish it moved along a little faster. I should add that Iā€™m playing it on my Mac through GE Force, which Iā€™ve been really impressed with so far.

I have no idea what Square Enix was thinking with Octopath Traveler. I got it because I loved Final Fantasy games growing up, itā€™s 2D graphics and I had an itch for a JRPG style game.

The graphics, artwork, and soundtrack were all great, but the story is absolutely abysmal. The hook is the story is about 8 people, but absolutely none of them interact with each other so all 8 of them donā€™t even seem like fleshed out people. Like you have a party of 4 but none of them have interacted in any way the entire time, they all just wander around together completing 8 separate story lines together?

Ok.

Interesting. Iā€™ve had this game recommended to me by a couple of people but I opted to buy other things first. This makes it sound prettt bizarre, Iā€™ll probably pass.

Itā€™s not so much bizarre as disappointing. Iā€™m 12 hours into the game and I couldnā€™t tell you anything about the world other than itā€™s a generic fantasy world. I couldnā€™t tell you anything interesting about the story either because thereā€™s no overarching story that I can tell. Itā€™s just 8 separate stories that never intersect.

I havent played a basketball video game since about 2003 and wow itā€™s so much improved. Nba 2k20 is one of the best sports games ive ever played, other than fight night.

I mean thereā€™s so much to do and so many modes and ways to play them itā€™s unreal. I just started tackling online play - Iā€™ve somehow gone 9-0 with the lakers just setting up screens for lebron and dunking over centers. Averaging 75% of my points as lebron, like 40 ppg lol.

Probably old news to everyone else but holy shit what a game.

You could play POE, though you shouldnā€™t, but if you do Iā€™d suggest the aura stacking herald build (approx 50 ex budget). Again, though, donā€™t play POE.

14 days of free premium plus a free Tier 8 tank if youā€™ve been considering playing World of Tanks

Xcom team two days ago dropped info that a new game is being released in 9 days. Looks really good.

playing City:Skylines on an island map when a tsumani hits. Out of a city of 15,000 I had 200 survivors

Ugh. So I went to an earlier save and tried to build canals and some flood walls. No go. Itā€™s an 8.5. Still completely flooded my city. Ok. Restarted and landscaped a dirt wall along with canals and flood walls. Nope still no good. Built a dirt wall, took out a loan and built a bigger wall with canals, etc. Still completely wiped out.

Went to the options and turned off disasters and the disaster frequency to 0. Nope still comes.

I liked this city a lot too

I thought theyā€™d be like disasters on SimCity, moderately dangerous but not be impossible to overcome. I finally did save the city. I had to take all three loans, turn on infinite soil, and build a huge, huge sea wall. Unfortunately everyone evacuated so my city quickly went into bankruptcy so I had to turn on infinite money. Iā€™ll keep it on until my city gets back in the black and then Iā€™ll go back to normal

Those sea walls are pretty cool though

So I Kickstartered Star Citizen 8 years ago. And finally opened up the alpha todayā€¦

Um lol
