Oh my friend also invites me over to play Diablo 3 co-op sometimes. It's kinda fun but as a PC gamer playing D3 on the PS4 is kinda bizarre.

That game definitely changed a lot since I played it during release. Can't believe it doesn't let us increase the difficulty further, we're limited to starting on Expert.
 
Some updates on Civ 6:

- They're introducing sieges. If you surround a city completely, you get some sort of bonus.

- Some proper improvements on spying. Your delegates can gather gossip that brings you information on what other Civs are up to, spies get new tricks like stealing great works.

- Starts at 1 unit per tile, than goes up to 2 and 3 in later eras.

- Great people now have unique abilities and you got to directly challenge the other civs to get one

- Settlers increase in cost overtime, which should limit ICS tactics

- Culture has it's own tech tree

- You get to create your own religion and customize bonuses

This makes me 1 want to fire up civ 5 and 2 prepurchase the game, was saying to Subtle on steam the other day worse case scenario I may just get it off greenmangaming becuase they always have a 20-25% percent off code to use.

Yup, I'm seriously tempted to preorder too. They reworked so many mechanics for this, it's shaping up to be the biggest evolutionary update of Civ formula in a decade.
 
Anyone tried Titanfall 2 beta?

The first game was a best fun I had with a shooter in a decade, but unexplainably it suddenly becoming boring after a month, and I never went back. From what I heard a lot of people had similar experience.

I was hoping they can figure out what it was missing (**** if I know) and make something truly special.
 
Reading up people's comments on Titanfall 2 beta, apparently they mostly cleared out all the things that made the game unique, and it's basically CoD in space now.

This isn't what I meant when I said they should figure out what the first game was missing....
 
Has anyone else wet their paints seeing the new Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands game trailers? Sounds brilliant.
 
Rebought The Witcher 3, I got the game on release but it glitched on a main quest pretty early on and I couldntcontinue my save so I traded it in , rebought about a week ago and my god I forgot what an all encompassing monster of a game it is and I'm only about halfway through the game, I have also realised I spend faaaaar too much time playing gwent that needs to be a standalone game haha, Can get both DLC too for 20 pound so that is next on my list

I haven't played the DLCs yet either, but from what I hear they're more like old-school expansions. Supposedly it's tons of new content, not just horse armor and new haircuts.

Yeah the first forget its name is around 10 hours new content in the main questline, pretty much adds new content to the main map, blood and wine is around 20 hours content with a new location entirely iirc, 20 pound for another 30 hours content plus all the other extra stuff like gwent tournaments, new items and potions is a steal, full games dont even have that much
 
World of Warcraft Legion launches 23:00 BST tomorrow (which I doubt because of DDos edgelord children/server issues). But I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone I've conversed with, would like to say goodbye to everyone, my family and friends, the sun, the outside world....yeah basically the outside world.

Then next week new competitive season of Overwatch.

RIP my life

Wow is all I can say, finished the Witcher and what a game it is, actually has a proper ending unlike a third game in a certain trilogy I could mention *cough* Mass Effect 3. I actually thought the game was going to end much sooner than it did, so it took me about another 10 hours than I thought. Its an amazing game probably my favourite game of its type and in my top 5 ever games. The world they have crafted is brillian , you actually dont mind not using fast travel, everything they have crafted has so much thought and the reskins of the same characters is done carefully and not every other Nord like in Skyrim. Now to restart on the hardest difficulty, get the expansions and play some Gwent!
 
Played through Deus Ex the other day the new one, personally I mean it has moments of outright greatness, but it also has frustrating and clunky/clumsiness throughout. Controls can be soul destroying at times, and not being able to skip already scene cutscenes is a crime in this day and age. Has some great stuff and I enjoyed the story but just left me feeling a bit meh, I have traded it in for Witcher 3 GOTY edition because my copy was electronic and due to moving house I am currently a pauper with no broadband ;)

If it's anything like the last Deus Ex the price will drop like a stone in a few weeks, i'll get it then.

Deus Ex one is still my favorite game ever. Did you ever play it?

Yeah I did play the first although I don't recall much about it apart from for the time it was pretty revolutionary for a shooter. personally I would wait till its half the price. They have somewhat gone back to their roots I suppose but they have also given the whole non lethal aspect of the game a rethink. I just find it frustrating because some of the stuff is clumsily done, also having an online store to buy stuff for a single player game is crazy, I haven't accessed it because I am not currently online but read about it and I just find it wierd.
 
If anyone is interested, Tropico 4 is going for free on Humble Bundle, but it's a time limited offer (Steam account also required ofc).
 
First Deus Ex was great, the new ones are solid but uninspired. It's hard type of game to make though, everything needs to be highly polished and well thought out, or the stealth gameplay just falls apart.
