I sort by New (rather than Hot for instance), myself.

Just randomly curious what other people are sorting at default, and if there's a common answer.


Kinda wish I could automagically sort comments by New as well. /shrug

There are certainly times I'd rather have 50 comments and 5 upvotes than 50 upvotes and 5 comments.

I think the female versions of my name sound terrible, so, no on that front.

In general not a thought I've had aside from that. I've always felt comfortable with my gender/sexual orientation.

  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
  • Dave the Diver
  • Another Crab's Treasure
  • Cataclismo
  • Black Myth: Wukong

(*note some of these were Let's Play's I watched instead of played as combat mechanics like Clair/Wukong don't interest me.)


I also spent a lot of time with an old friend, Heroes of Might and Magic V, Tribes of the East.


Edit/PS: Have to include Tactical Breach Wizards. Hilarious and very different take on the "Xcom-esque" genre. Great characterization and story. Requires a very different style of thinking to master it.

Pretty good series, pretty sure the author's an "acolyte" of Brandon Sanderson, so if anyone reading this likes the Cosmere you might like this series as well.

Been on my "reread" list for a while but the list keeps growing...

This is what I came to say if it wasn't already.

Replace both leads with a couple that has chemistry but retains that slightly antagonistic spark and it would've made a good movie. I don't even have an alternate casting, just, "not them."

 

I have a lot of experience with games like this, so I'm not too worried about the combat end of things.

What I'm curious about, is for those who have played it multiple times, which character offers the "best likely story" if you were to play through once?

("Best" as defined by you.)


PS: A head's up for any persistent bugs I should be aware of that can really screw up a game would be appreciated as well.

cheers,

Are there gonna be 3 levels now? (Real time battle, planetary overworld, space over-overworld)?

Presumably? There might even be a fourth layer if they go battle/planet/system/interstellar.

Are the space marines gonna march in a phalanx formation?

I doubt it. Round bases man, squares are for fantasy!
But really, I assume they'll be in a skirmish formation.
Facing is only supposed to matter to vehicles and armour, IIRC.

Which space marine is gonna be the princess?

I am! (Actually I love my 'nids so really I'd be a queen.)

My body is ready, my laptop isn't.

 

Praise the Emperor!

I started a Let's Play of that and liked it so much I quit early on and now it's on a (lengthy) backlist of games I want to actually play. It looks really fun and I love the aesthetic.

Watched it near release, loved it. +1

 

Looking for recommendations of games you think translate well to a Let's Play.

Here's a few I've watched as some examples:

  • Dispatch
  • Dead Space: Remake
  • Dave the Diver
  • Outer Wilds
  • Claire Obscur: Expedition 33
  • Black Myth: Wukong

Some games I want to play for myself, but others I'd rather just watch. Either I don't want to buy it, or maybe the game mechanics don't interest me but the story does. (Dispatch falls under that category.)

Any other ideas?
