Is it an exclusive? Didn't know that. Anyways, it's on the list of games to get so to say, together with a whole lot of other worthies.  :biggriin:

Really enjoying Fallout 4 atm. All the graphical detail really helps to make the setting come alive. Or actually not very alive  :icon_wink:

I have been wanting a Total War game to take place in China forever now.  Today, my pleas have been heard!

fallout 4 was a disappointment.

Horizon sero dawn has been doing the rounds on the sales over here, meant to be amazing.

Everyone should buy a switch because they are great.

Ow yeah! I love the Three Kingdoms setting.

The one in green is clearly Guan Yu while I'm pretty sure the one with the feathered helmet is Lu Bu. Seeing that the probable Lu Bu seems to be attacked by both others that would make the bearded ruffian Zhang Fei, Guan Yu's sworn brother.

I know very little about The Three Kingdoms period outside of the movie "Red cliff."  I was more hoping for the bronze age warring states era with its many factions, political maneuverings, battles, all culminating in the first Chinese Empire.  This seems like a good runner up though.

Really enjoying my Switch, Mario Odyssey was very fun and I love getting all those old SNK arcade games on it like Metal Slug and King of Fighters and being able to play on the train.

Horizon is well worth getting Finlay.

I may be the only person in existence who doesn't care about any Nintendo IP.  In fact the only Nintendo game I can recall ever playing was Donkey Kong Jr Game/Watch back in about 1982.

Don't bother trying to convince me to give your favourite game a try.  I have no interest whatsoever.

Just curious if you actually like... games?

It's not that I dislike Nintendo, it's just that I happen to not care about any of the games that Nintendo produces.  If Fromsoft had done their publishing deals with Nintendo instead of Sony, I'd probably be playing Demon's Souls and Bloodborne on the Switch.

Played the soulsborne games to death, personally. The genre is feeling very stale. I'm not sure what the future holds there.

Those games have never appealed to me. I am not a fan of playing games where I want to smash the controller into the screen.

I seriously underestimated how much I would use and appreciate the portability, even just around the house.

and Ted is playing Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart and Lego City Undercover. It was really great at the weekend to play Odyssey with him (he runs around, I help him when he gets stuck) while my youngest napped and the wife was out with the middle one.

It's also satisfying watching him get better at the lego city game.

good times!

Had lots of fun with Mario cart when my son was young. Very true Finlay , good times indeed. I didn’t quite realize I was having the best time in my life and video games where a big part of that. Any one remember the Armymen series?

It's funny, I never felt that. I always knew I died because I just wasn't good enough. Once you played one they stopped being hard anyway. They were well worth playing, it's just for me I want to see them evolve it.

I'm a fan of the Bomber Crew game. Cute, little game, about managing a crew of a WWII bomber plane. Really complex, despite it's misleading "chibi" style. Having lots of fun with that one.

Yes, I spent many hours with the Armymen series. I can't remember which one and googling now shows there was A LOT more then I remember.

I've been jumping around on games recently. Doing a little bit of Stellaris, then I jump to Rimworld, then I jump to Factorio, then I jump to Rainbow Six Siege. I'm really debating getting the $12 humble bundle to get Civ 6 so cheap.

Army men 1 and #2 which was called Toys in Space were the best. They came out with world at war but 3do needed cash and released a really glitchy game. Thinking about it there may have been one befor toys whee they have to fight their way through the house. Those games were great.

I honestly don’t know why, but I have played more than 100 hours of Morheim since Christmas. It’s not that good! Why am I enjoying it so much?!

Thing is, I played Tony Hawk 3 for about an hour once, and it made me feel like that, but I also hated it so very much. I don’t think there is much space for evolution there TBH. Unless you can use gesture controls or VR.
