<p>yeah that's Matt and Jessica though, i tried everything to make their lives awful , i tried killing Mike in every situation, i found it amusing how battered he looked in the end, don't get me wrong the game looks, plays(even though a little clunky) amazing, i played it all the way through in one sitting, then my nephew came round and i watched him most of the weekend</p><p> </p><p>

this is off the topic of Until Dawn, does anyone know of a turn based game that plays like Seven Samurai, as in a defense game that isn't tower defense or any game i can set up to be like that, the nearest i get is X-Com Enemy Within when defending the Satellites</p>

Yeah, and that was too big of a steal :p Although I wish I would have waited to get the Paradox build your bundle -_-

From what I have read both Sam and Mike can only die at the last part of the game.

Not sure Borderlands is the first thing I think of when I think of 'steampunk'...

 

I guess that one DLC character from the sequel is kinda steampunk, but meh.

 

I'm not sure how to call the whole Fallout/Borderlands/RAGE/... universes. Post-apocalyptic games? I liked Fallout 3 and bore through RAGE (though I don't even remember), and apparently I got the L30 achievement for Borderlands so I must've gotten through that too. :p

Urgh.. So many games. So little time

 

I have EA Early Access so Madden & NHL have come out recently and i've pretty much killed the allotted time on those..

 

There is also MGS5 which I have and playing in small chunks.. Bloody dash makes me feel sick :mad:

 

Im part of a creative team for a new game so time is spent creating artwork and playing that.

 

I picked up Pillars Of Eternity and Dead State really cheap and barely played them.

 

A friend of mine received an extra copy of Ark:Survival Evolved which they gave me.

 

BBCF is now on steam so i'm tempted to get that.

 

And finally... Blood Bowl 2 is out soon and may possibly get.

Is Madden '16 vastly improved over '15? Or is it the usual roster update and not much else? If I'm just getting into the sport and barely know any players anyway, and don't bother with MUT and the online stuff much at all, am I going to benefit much from the 'upgrade'?

 

I'll probably get it cheap in CEX in a few months anyway.

I'd say that if you aren't a huge fan that doesn't know much about the players, then you can probably hold off. Don't get me wrong, great game. Draft champs is a fun mode and the gameplay feels as fluid as ever. It definitely is one of the better ones. But, yea, Madden 15 can hold up for another couple months.

It has a few redeeming features but it depends what you play it for. If you love your connected careers, then the game has a big improvement in the coach giving objectives and you getting XP for completing them. Each player also has milestones to hit and will get XP for completing those as well.. Thats a cool feature

 

Online however seems like the same old. There is Draft Champions mode, but its pretty much MUT but with less choice

So I bought Madden '16. I'm so weak. And poor, now.

 

But it's sooo goooood. <3 Love the new passing stuff. Haven't delved into the main modes because it was still downloading (I like the feature most games have these days where they let you play a little bit while downloading the rest).

 

I wish they were more consistent with that feature. Some games won't let you play anything until the entire game is downloaded even though you might only need the beginning levels. Destiny Im looking at you here. You are going to spend the first few hours in the Cosmodrone.. Download that first and then other planets afterwards

 

Tomb Raider is another example of doing it wrong. It popped up saying it was ready to play at 7%. It got half way through the 1st cutscene and then a pop up appeared saying i would have to wait until more was downloaded before I could continue

Is anyone into the Total War series? It's the new Humble Bundle and I've always been curious about it.

 

Haven't tried any since Medieval 2 (and a little bit of shogun 2) but from past experiences they are enjoyable games. At a decent difficulty the battles can be fun as you have to plan strategies to a certain extent.

 

Plus the family tree is what really got me into CK2. It's not as detailed but it's fun raising your sons and grandsons into specialized commanders that grow based on how you use them.

Buy it. Total War is awesome for wannabe-world conquerors like me. And once you get past how overwhelming it all is at first (the tutorials from Rome-onward are great at this), it's pretty easy to control your soldiers.

 

Pes 16 plays like the best football game ever but its actually a disgrace that we play with last years squads. I mean its just a basic effort to make sure a 2016 version of a game is sorted for release & shouldnt need a patch to put the basics in place. Its unplayable at the mo because its lazy.And they wonder why fifa wins...

 

So basically PES sucks because, instead of being a cheap roster update, they actually took the time (which is very limited in the development cycle of a yearly sports title) to make a great soccer game and wound up not having the time to keep the rosters up to date but will fix that issue soon and for free? Those monsters. :rolleyes:
