    [GS] Canada Discussion Thread

    As a Canadian.... I understand fitting in Canada may not be the easiest but this is pretty meme-y and disappointing.

    XCOM 2

    It's established from Bradford's own narrative that he's an unreliable narrator and even says that they didn't really know what everything they were fighting was yet. He just 'feels like they may have been an avatar there'. It's a cover for just re-using stronger enemies instead of making new...

    RimWorld

    It's incredibly addicting, it's probably one of my favourite games ever now or at least in top 10. Still complex with lots of depth but a lot simpler than DF, and a little more action oriented. Not a lot to do late game yet though, but the dev keeps adding awesome stuff and the mods can be...

    Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

    It looks great but I haven't gotten around to replaying PoE 1 yet, or it's DLC at all, and I don't really remember anything that happened :p Looking forward to playing it in a month or two I think.

    Sea of Thieves

    From what I've seen on Twitch and read elsewhere, there is a seriously worrying lack of content and you can't really trust a developer when they say "OH there's more we just didn't want to spoil it!". It looks beautiful, the water is AMAZING, and it seems pretty fun... but I feel it is going to...

    The Battlefront 2 saga

    Doesn't seem likely, considering they still don't seem to get it (that the gameplay affecting ones are bad) and aren't interested in changing their minds. I think this sums it up prtetty well at this point: "Cosmetic lootboxes wouldn't work, because we balanced progression around you buying...

    If you thought the Pokémon Go craze was bad...

    Pokemon GO was released far too early (Niantic admitted it was only about 10% feature complete), was completely overwhelmed by the amount of players (tens and tens of millions), and often simply did not work for hours on end. A lot of features didn't work very well either, and most if not all...

    The Battlefront 2 saga

    EA will put microtransactions back in down the road, but this is a win, even if a small one. Too bad the game still kind of sucks, it has zero teamwork, communication or longevity.

    If you thought the Pokémon Go craze was bad...

    It was a tiger enclosure and they didn't actually jump into the enclosure, just a secondary area next to it. Which is still idiotic, happened a week after launch so they were probably trying to use the tracker system it had at the time (when it worked, which it usually didn't). Lots of people...

    If you thought the Pokémon Go craze was bad...

    Pokemon Go was kind of fun, when the servers worked... it needed another year of development. It's doing pretty well now though, but I lost interest ages ago. Hopefully this one will be better, it does seem to be a joint game by Warner Brothers and Niantic so Nia won't be the main team behind...

    Fascism, the American far right, and, Wolfenstein the new colossus

    I'm pretty sure it's largely a bunch of totally unrelated stuff that some trolls probably cooked up and maybe some really dumb people might be trying to believe and make a thing, but it isn't a real thing.

    Shadows of War and micro transactions

    The only thing "micro" about microtransactions is what you're actually getting for the money. Unless they are cosmetic only, and even then not if the game is full priced, they have zero place in any games. Almost nobody has ever done non-cosmetic ones in a way that doesn't have some negative...

    Screenshots!

    The Unsung mod for Arma 3 is a little crude graphically and feels a bit arcadey at times for ARMA 3 but damn is it fun and detailed with an insane amount of uniforms, one hell of a dense jungle map and really makes you feel like you're going to get PTSD. Cruising through the jungle (one of the...

    Yep it's the successor to NW (which is pretty much dead already, we stopped going to LBs in it a few months ago). I think one or so of the same devs is working on it but I don't remember exactly, different studio.

    Screenshots!

    First Holdfast Linebattle, first round was actually a lot of fun, second one server started lagging the main admin who's server it was (there were a bunch of servers being used for LBs tonight) didn't really know how to run it (also the admin tools are being overhauled because they kind of...

    Star Wars Battlefront 2015

    I'm surprised people still play it. It was an extremely pretty game with surprisingly good feeling guns but ultimately a boring and forgettable run and gun in circles. Hugely disappointing but not surprising.

    So about that Paradox Price Increase

    Just wait until the next sale, sadly Pdox doesn't do DLC at more than 66% off anymore which is BS.

    Bioshock Compatability with Win 10

    Bioshock 1 doesn't require Steam unless you buy it digitally from or for Steam. I believe that Bioshock Infinite is tied to Steam though, but it's also not a very good game either Also downloads on Steam can be paused, so if you lose connection it will just pick up where it left off, but...
