PSA: Game Discounts

[Iormlund]

I've checked out the Ghost Recon beta with it (awesome, I liked Widlands, this is that just better), and now playing The Division 2.

I loved the map in wildlands, but the AI was gobsmackingly stupid. That's what killed it for me.

Making bots spawn behind you and hit you square between the eyes from a km away does not count as AI.

Endless Space is free on Humble Store for a couple of days.

[Caliga]

Call of Cthulhu 50% off on Steam in case anyone is interested

What's Languish' consensus on Battletech? It's on the current monthly bundle.

I used to play the boardgame when I was a teen, and I've dug the company's Shadowrun games, but reception seems to be a bit mixed?

[Tonitrus]

It looked good to me...the only thing that held me back from getting it is that I'd prefer a more customizable/sand-boxing play style in that kind of game...and the impression I've had from reviews/videos is that it nails you pretty tightly to the campaign/story line.

[Syt]

They've added a sandbox mode in the meantime, IIRC.

[celedhring]

I'm fine with a heavily scripted campaign. Bought it.

Now I only to find time...

I like the new Anno but it gets crazy complicated once you get new world islands.

Indeed.

ubisoft with their horrid steam rip-off "uplay" have launched uplay+
Basically pay £15 a month and get unlimited access to playing a library of games....
And....
Its free for September just so long as you cancel before October. I'm giving the new Anno game a spin.

Remember to cancel your subscriptions soon.

Got a reminder set for Saturday.

Got a reminder set for Saturday.

I just cancelled and it told me my subscription will terminate at the end of the month.

Cool, will do it now then, ta.

[crazy canuck]

Is the Anno game worth buying?

[garbon]

I'd say no. Maybe if one had infinite time but I think those days are past most of us. Supply chain gets very complicated, as GF mentioned, once you get a new world island.

[Syt]

Yeah, it looks amazing, and the gameplay is absolutely fine, but it does become a lot to manage. Not on Factorio levels, but I feel it's notably more complex/busywork than the previous titles (though I haven't tried the Sci-Fi versions).
