Man, if they can't release SC this year, I probably won't buy it until it's 75% off. I know they've been trying and it's not their fault, but my interest in the game is 90% gone by this point. I supported FC, buying multiple PSP and Steam copies, but the iron has long cooled off. The main reason I still plan to buy this year is because I still have a small desire to support the release of the series in the west.

It's really accessible, but it lacks some depth compared to Civ 5. The troop types are really few, and combat is actually pretty simple. It's fun, it has great art/design, but it's a bit lacking. Enjoyable, but not comparable to Civ 5.
Tried Dawn of War II? It has a really great campaign. Multiplayer is not so fun in my opinion, but if you liked Company of Heroes you're gonna like it.

Have you played Monster Hunter before? It's the same type of game, so if you enjoy MH you'll probably like Toukiden. I haven't actually played it myself, so I can't help you farther than that.
edit: Damn, did Toukiden bomb? only ~5,500 sales and it released at the end of June.

To his defence arrastões are a thing, he should be scared. Of course phrasing helps.

You can make your normal email like Gmail or whatever into a "Microsoft Account" or some such and sign in with that on Windows 10, you have to do it through their website I believe but I've been using my primary Gmail email since Windows 8.

So shadownet is either a willfully ignorant racist or a naive racist? Poor guy. I hope he doesn't say anything he might regret in the future.
Speaking of race: I got to chapter 4 of binary domain. I gotta hand it to them, these are some of the most well realized characters in a shooter I've played. They seem authentic outside of Bo maybe being a bit too close to a stereotype than I care for. But I trust that the game will continue developing his character as it has with the rest of the Rust Crew.
What an underrated gem, though. This is the type of niche game that we would be begging for to come to the PC, like vanquish. I'm thankful we have it on PC and that someone convinced sega at the time that this was a reasonable decision.

I thought Skylake gains were kinda blasé?
RIP Shadownet.
They definitely should bring in some more PC help if they plan to continue on this path, it's getting a bit ridiculous.
As per usual I guess.

And I'm rarely surprised. People are often like 'nooo, really?' and I'm like 'did you seriously not realize that there was something very wrong with that dude?'. If anything some in here need to develop better people skills.

YOU SOUND LIKE A SCRAP LOVE TO ME SON!
But seriously I agree, it does character development really well surprisingly for the type of game it is.

Not so "poor" if you see the reason of the ban :/Shadownet got banned? Poor guy
Unless he lives in Rio de Janeiro(and even there i'ts quite unlikely), no, he shouldn't. "Arrastões " are pretty rare ocurrences.
Endless Legend is accessible and one of the best around. I adore the fantasy world Amplitude have built for it, and the factions are wonderfully diverse and really change the nature of the game you play. It's far better than Civ 5.
The Paradox series of Grand Strategy Games, mainly Crusader Kings 2 and Europa Universalis 4, are top notch. CK2 is more character focused, built around improving your families fortunes and establishing your dynasty, while EU4 is country focused. Both span immense timespans and you can really let your alternative history desires run wild.
On the opposite scale to Paradox, I'd also recommend the Wargame series by Eugen. They're real time tactics, like Company of Heroes, with no base building and a focus building up a combined arms force of NATO/Warsaw Pact units, with an emphasis on recon and logistics. Eugen are also bringing out Act of Aggression next month, which is more of a throw back to base building and Command and Conquer.

I know, right? Even worse with the realistic lighting mod at night on a stretch of road with no lights, I can't see shit!
The struggle is real.

No resolution greater than 1080p, framerate tied to 30 FPS, no mouse support, online required. Tecmo is really taking the piss at this point
did I do that right Europeans?
I'm still on an i5 Sandybridge, which will have some fairly significant framerate advantages to upgrading.
Eurogamer is showing a double digit frame increase in essentially every test for an 2600k to a 6700k. With the performance gap becoming even wider from the 2500k benchamarks. These aren't massive gains considering how great Sandy was, but, like I said, I have the itch to upgrade right now.
I am waiting on DX12 benchmarks to see if that data can break the i7 away from the pack to really justify the HT.

Damn those masterracers and their inflated sense of entitlement, can't even release a barebones port for an absurd price and rake in the cash these days.
Those benchmarks are telling me that my overclocked 2500K will be perfectly fine* for 60fps gaming for at least another year. And I highly doubt HT will ever be worth the (in this case noticeable) premium for gamers, we should have gotten real six cores from Intel by now in this price range. Asking almost 400€ for the same old 4+HT doesn't sit right with me. Please AMD, do something fast.
*lowest fps go under that in some games but I can deal with occasional dips or turn down some stuff and even the 6700 struggles in GTA with those settings
Awesome, I'll start there! I've never really had a gaming PC so I have a fair bit of a backlog to work through! The worldbuilding in Endless Legend seems interesting, maybe I'll dive into that before I even think about Civ 5.

Just read through most of the thread and shadow's posts. It's not only that it's very poorly worded but also the ideas are weird. I am confused as I know him and don't want to believe he had bad intentions.
I am just shocked at how he could have such ideas and not think them through. Realize how illogical they are. And then even post it.

Want to pull the trigger on an Ncase/Skylake/M.2 build so bad, the upgrade itch is real.
Would prefer to have everyone on top rather than the bottom, but definitely looks nice.
I really need to give my case an overhaul when I buy a new SSD. Needs a bit of a clean and should probably redo the cable management while I'm at it.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
That plus septupling down on stupidity throughout the thread when confronted is just baffling.
Like, even a normal person with dumb, abhorent beliefs would have realized when to quit.
Yeah, the moderation takes a pretty hard stance against dumb racist shit you should have figured out was dumb racist shit sometime after gaining the ability to process sensory information.
Consumers with standards, who would have thought?
Performance upgrades from previous Intel chips range from non-existent to mediocre. We need competition.
The Microsoft buyout rumor for AMD was actually quite interesting, then they would have the R&D capital required to at least compete with Intel.
I'm guessing you are referring to the case buttons? That may conflict with the design as you have the potential to place a vertical slim DVD drive or two SSDs in the front compartment near the top. The former is likely the conflicting portion.
The size dictates it is more meant to be placed on top of a desk, which would also explain the button placement.
Here is the Ncase build gallery, I'm really interested in doing a CPU/GPU watercooled loop. Needless to say, but this is one of the most configurable and fully featured cases I have ever seen.
Myself, and many others in this thread, ultimately found Shadow of Mordor to be very mediocre.
For gaming applications, DDR4 accounts for a negligible performance gain.
Want to pull the trigger on an Ncase/Skylake/M.2 build so bad, the upgrade itch is real.
That thing looks like an awesome living room piece.
But Skylake boards use DDR4 right? I would switch over just for that. Previously only 2011 could use it.

Why you being so hostile tho? Im on your side, what i meant was that you should be able to tell that what you typed up came out a bit racist, and gaf doesnt take to kindly to any kind of racism and it shouldve been posted elsewhere.

He got pretty lucky.
My tone is only hostile if you disagree with me.
Otherwise, we're agreeing and we shouldn't have a problem.

The framerate is tied to the game logic? Ugh, that blows. Yeah I can see why it failed so hard. I thought the poor sales were just based on the price point.
That's lucky, I thought racism bans were permanent.

Most of them yes. Some take DDR3. Don't know why that would be the reason to switch though, differences are barely measurable.

I'll tell you why. Because 4 is a bigger number than 3.
