I will try it out. Already have the GOTy on my steam, do I need to buy the expansion separately.

GOTy should have it. IIRC you can skip directly to the expansion from the main menu

Dat wannabe Alpha Centauri ?

@Dovah
Dragon Age series also go spoiled by identity politics

God I love the first Dragon Age.

American creative products are stale nowadays anyway. Same thing across movies, streaming and games. By the numbers activism. Heard there's some controversy surrounding the new "The Last of Us" as well.

Better than V? Because 6 is practically trash. (Except for CHADragupta).

No, not better than V.

Yeah, I am biting the bullet. Gonna play the Witcher trilogy from the beginning, properly this time.

Do you have the solution to long turn times on V? I have an SSD, a GTX 1660 Ti and a Core i5 9th gen. Can't get decent turn times.

Wat ?

You haven't played Witcher 3 ? I'd suggest you skip 1&2.

Start 3, but only the Hearts of Stone expansion. It's totally standalone. After that you can decide.

Reduce the number of city-states.

It is the barbarian turns that take up most compute time it think, disabling barbarians gives great performance. Crank up difficulty if that makes it too easy.

I played 2 for a while when you go to that coastal city to kill an insect? Got bored and frustrated and quit. Now I hate on the whole franchise online.

Do people still play CS GO ? Do any of you ?

Nope

btw tried out AOE 2 definitive edition ? It's beautiful

Assassin's creed is the most hilarious series ever. It is genius really, they can just keep on churning them by setting them on whatever period of history is most topical.

I did a few months back. The weapons are unwieldy and no grenade hot key. Plus I suck at multiplayer.

I have started playing once again since I'm free nowadays.

Always loved the game the challenge is good.

They literally saw GoW do well, some exec probably got an idea to base the next series there. Emblematic of the rot in the gaming industry.

Seems they wanted to capitalise on God of War's popularity
