Empire was my favorite TW. This is a bit different. The whole game is played on the overworld map. You have to manage frontlines, air, navy, your production lines, spies, research and special projects as well as resistance in occupied territory, all the while selecting “focuses” from a tree that will take your country down either historical routes or Alternate history paths. No game you play will ever play out the same way, so pretty much infinite replay-ability, but with new features continually being added throughout its 8 year life-span (with more to come), it can be overwhelming for a new player to hop in and learn. It’s almost worth swapping back to an old version of the game that was much more simplistic to learn core mechanics. Then once you become more comfortable you could try the more recent versions of the game. Just my honest opinion, because I’d hate to see someone invest money into the game, only to feel overwhelmed and quit after their first attempt.

That was a long-arse time ago. Long before his dumbass hired a DC who had literally never called offensive plays to be OC for his second year QB.

2023 was an amazing year for gaming. Started off real strong for me with the Dead Space remake. I was a little late to the game, but ended up getting Elden Ring and loved it. Then picked up Jedi: Survivor and had a blast with it. So much improved on the previous title. After that, i finally got around to playing Days Gone and opine it might be the most underrated game to come out on PS4. Baldur’s Gate 3 was such a pleasant surprise. It’s the type of game that Bioware wishes they could make Dragon Age into. So refreshing to see a studio actually care about the end product and continually listen to the community, providing massive updates regularly. Only game I wanted but havent been able to pick up yet is Lies of P. Figured it would be worth it since I liked Sekiro so much and it seems to be pretty similar.

Mass Effect Trilogy. Only time I can recall a game/s making me emotional with regards to the characters and story.

I’m ADD as hell. Life is having 17 browser tabs open in my brain at once, with any 3 of them playing music at any given time. So yes. My inner monologue is quite often a song stuck in my head.

Did you just start you first playthrough? Mid - late game you really become a lot less reliant on melee, so it’s not too big a deal. I really enjoyed the game and the melee wasn't a detractor for me, but I suppose everyone has their own tastes. I’m actually gonna go back and replay the game now that the story DLC is out.

InBev is Belgian. Stella Artois bought out AB. Ze Germans give zero fricks about AB, for sure. It doesn’t even stack up to “Becks,” which is basically Germany’s shitty Budweiser equivalent.
