What are you playing? (Redux)

[frunk]

Picked up Panzer Corps from Humblebundle. Having a total blast with it after also buying the "Grand Campaign" DLCs which greatly increase the granularity of the campaign. I.e., I just fought seven scenarios in Poland and three in Norway before even getting to Belgium/France.

The game is essentially a Panzer General clone but very polished at that.

Yeah, I enjoyed it.  I got about halfway through 1941 in the Grand Campaign before the endless samey battles in Russia got to me.  Hmm, rather realistic.

occasional at the moment tabletop rpgs like Call of Cthulhu, Mutants and masterminds, and the occasional few hours of fallout new vegas because all i got is a ps3 really for gaming. really need a windfall to get a ps4 and move up a notch on cool games, really though just fallout 4 is all i am interested in, or something very similar. #sandbox4Life

I just bought Persona 5.
I'm telling myself I should finish FF13 first.
But...
PERSONA!

Is it just me or do PS3 games not have manuals now? Since when?

I've been playing Hearts of Iron 4.  There is an option to go democratic as Germany.  It fun playing the good guy Germans.  I typically play with historical choices off for the AI because you get such unexpected result.  France went Fascist and Declared war on Germany.  In 1940 Belgium, Luxumbourg and the Netherlands joined Germany in an alliance and overran France.  Unfortunately some time in 1941 Britain decided to declare war on Belgium (Which now occupied all of France).  So Democratic Britain was at War with Democratic Germany.  That got tedious.

Who was the Generalissimo of l'État français in this scenario? I mean part of the problem with 1930s France is they had no charismatic leaders

I honestly don't remember.  Petain I think.

I bought fifa 17

Been keeping an eye on it for a while, waiting for it to drop to a sufficiently pocket change price as it inevitably would. I've heard the career mode is fun. Here it goes.

Wonder how long before ea swith to a full saas model

Origin Access premium is coming this fall.

Is that going to have the new Madden game? and how much will it be per month?

[Grey Fox]

It should. 15/month or 100/year.

[Tamas]

It should. 15/month or 100/year.

[Grey Fox]

Cheap, I know.

I've been playing a lot of HOI4 lately, trying the Japanese which I've never played before. Interesting going and long, tough slog through China.

[Josquius]

I could never learn how to play that game

I like Field of Glory II a lot. It's a nice beer & pretzels level wargame that with expansions covers 550 BC to 476 AD. Not a big fan of the campaigns (stringed together series of battles), but it's the perfect "I want to move ancient units in battle for an hour" game.

I wish it had Pike & Shot Campaigns and Sengoku Jidai style campaign maps, but I understand that to cover the entire time period might be hard.

[Josquius]

Anyone ever played the a-train games?
I really want to...but the learning curve is high.
