Yes

The Need to Breed trait is super broken to be honest. You'll max out your resources in minutes if you make use of the Sexual Expansion edict (which lasts for 130 years FYI). The only downside is that it sends your research straight into the toilet and gives you -90% research collection.

Oh and you can literally breed enemy empires of existence, which is fun.

I'm enjoying how different it feels to play in Asia as opposed to Europe. The quickly rising tech costs really sting. Playing on hard, too.

I think I also realize just how OP Castile was, seeing how even the AI shot up to #2 Great Power early in the game.

Did you know the scientific journal nature once published an editorial that said that using current data available to them that by the year 2000s women will be running faster marathons than men.

Women running faster marathons than men, just like these Muslim babies, just isn't going to happen though is it.

I don't even know if I'd want a Portal 3. Portal 2 had a satisfying ending, it'd kind of be a slap in the face if they just dragged Chell back and said "jk come shoot some portals again lol and dont even think about killing me again lmao"

Portal 3 wouldn't feel right, P2 finished things up.
L4D3 should absolutely happen, L4D2 is really showing it's age now and a third one could be fantastic.
The half life series was amazing and groundbreaking, and the fact it's never going to be finished is an absolute tragedy.

Dead by Daylight is shit for survivors.
The entire game is basically QTEs and hoping other people don't just let you die

It's pretty nice as a killer though

Children cannot do anything that may involve violence. No scavenging and no guarding.
They can be taught utility stuff, though, and do chores. They'll complain after a while, but it certainly beats starving/freezing/dying of disease.

CosmicScientist wrote:I'm sorry? Shit for survivors?

pallet looping, though not infinite, can still waste a minute on one pallet thanks to I assume it's still player hitbox size difference

half of the maps still have half the pallets within running distance of one another

DS, sprint burst and adrenaline are still formidable enough to keep a survivor running all game

despite slight visual nerfs to prestige blood, Claudette and Meg are still invisible

torches can still blind your pickups and will blind your pallet smashes, both without the killer's say, both repeatable with the same torch

body blocking the killer is doubly effective against the slow ones
If you're not playing survive with friends, then yes, you're going to be matched with AFKs, braindeads, lead paint drinkers and a fedora Visconti or pink Dwight who have questionable motives. Are they there to make the killer cry or to farm you? Oh and don't forget about chili & barb, a perk born of power creep that I hope will bugger off. If you play killer, either get the meta perks or suck trying and don't pick huntress or nurse. Unless you put the time in, the """top three""" the digg keeps pinning up there aren't and don't get me started on how melee hatchets work worse than melee on survivors spazzing out directly in front of you to circumvent hit detection.

In other news I've picked up the elder scrolls online, because I bought its unlimited gold thingy edition ages ago to play with a friend and forgot about it until now. They wanted me to pick the elf, elf & cat faction, so I naturally shunned the knife ears and then got a little bit sad as piercings & beards are in the same category. My deviancy has been limited! Oh and the combat seems a little dull.

Shit as in shit gameplay
It's literally running away from someone who is usually not all that interested in catching you anyway so that you can do more QTEs on a generator
If you're in a group of 4 and having fun together, then sure, but everything is fun with friends. Why not play something that has more to it than 'run from thing' and 'spacebar occasionally'

As for killer, nurse is really the best killer. It only took me 30 minutes to get to the point where I could just blink onto a survivor and hit them. Higher rank survivors do better at dodging it, but never enough to have everyone survive
Trapper is easy mode though

Just tried some Friday 13th, to see how it is

First game, fixed up a four seater car, drove up to a group to get 3 lucky guys out
>Nobody gets in, uninteligible russian on voice
>Drive on to another small group
>Nobody says anything
>Just drive away and escape alone
>Spectate to see what's up
>Both groups have gathered around Jason and are taking turns whacking him with blunt objects, stunlocking him while someone micspams a particularly low quality version of the soviet anthem
>5 minutes of stunlock later, game ends because Jason has quit

Game 2
>Grab a baseball bat
>Walk around looking for car parts to escape
>Run into Jason
>Whack him once with the bat
>He goes down and just does not get up
>Even when I come close to check up on him
>Walk away and loot some cabins
>Walk back outside to see Jason is getting up only to be whacked right back down by a small group of 3 with random assorted tools
>Jason stops trying to get up after a few minutes of this and I just walk away

>Game 3
>Picked to be Jason
>Why am I moving so slow when I selected the faster Jason
>Oh well, lets go try to place traps
>Place traps at phone box, break power, place trap at power substation
>Group of four people armed with baseball bats and random blunt objects walks up to me
>Since I'm not shit, I actually know how to block attacks as Jason
>But since Jason can't move at a pace faster than a 90 year old with a bad back, I can't actually catch up to people to kill them either
>Using the shift abiliy to quickly close the gap and grab someone
>Works...And then I'm not actually allowed to make the kill
>Group leisurely walks up to me and whacks me with a stick
>This knocks down Jason
>What follows is a 5 minute standoff where I can not touch them because they're faster than me, but they also can't touch me because I know how to block attacks
>All the while someone is micspamming extra loud earrape
>Fuck this, teleport away
>The rest of the match is spend by me trying to get points breaking random power boxes while this group of 4 is trying to catch up to me so they can beat me up

This is not how a dangerous killer should have to play
If some camp counselors decide to take on a mythical killer that is known for killing camp counselors, the end result should be a struggle that buys them a bit of time at best and their death at worst. Not them being entirely invulnerable because even blocking attacks puts Jason in a 5 second animation that can't be cancelled while they can just leisurely walk away. What's the point of blocking attacks if you're still effectively stunned?
What the shit happened to this game? It had problems, but now it's just a joke

Assistants in space- The game
But hey, she's paying me to go look for illuminati lizardpeople who did it to frame her, so I took the money and figured I may as well see how deep it goes
Or I did, until I went and played something else because this game is just kinda painful to play

I made a bounty hunter that was going to specialize in personal combat. And then he randomly got maimed and now he's a cripple who can't do combat. And since all his skillpoints went into combat he's now just sorta useless
He never did get into combat. And for some reason everyone hates me because ??? after I see their ships in space and get the option to leave or open fire...And apparently both of these options cause a relationship drop
Game needs work, shit's random to the point where you and your entire crew just get crippled with nothing you can do about it, making money is nearly impossible because everyone is eager to fight you which damages your ship and gets you a repair bill bigger than any payment you'll get, and none of the game gets explained at any point.
