Oooh Civilisation 5 vs Europa Universalis. Which to choose?
How deep do you like those games? I've played both and Civ 5 only scratches the surface of how deep EU4 can go. I don't know really don't have experience with both types. But always wanted to try a game like that. So Civ5 is like the easy version of Europa Universalis? Europa Universalis has some great reviews though rofl: + Show Spoiler +Sadly due to the rapidly globalized economy and world we live in, exploiting indigenous populations is not nearly as easy nor profitable as it used to be. But thanks to the fine people at Paradox Interactive, I can unleash the inner beast that resides within all white European christians and do my part for humanity. Once I get bored from ousting the filthy Turkomans from Constantinople (not giving it back to Byzantium because ♥♥♥♥ orthodoxy Pope #1 forever get rekt bearded priests) I can turn my furious and just gaze across the atlantic and kill lots of savages (not my fault those filthy natives were living on Burgundian Florida). Soon the whole world will be swathed in burgundian colors, or all thats actually worth ruling (not ruling africa because africa and lots of zulu rebellions plus mosquitos).
This game is best played with a warm cup of Folger's coffee in your hands, so you can actually smell the oppression while you relive the greatest period of time of all time. The period when white people discovered the world, and decided they didnt like it.
Pick Brandenburg. Form Prussia. Form Germany.
Pick fight with French Empire, steamroll with superior military tech. Overconfidently pick fight with Russia even though half my regiments are in Western Europe. Annex Austria, vassalise Italy, invade Africa. 25 country strong coalition declares war on me, sacks Berlin. Angrily blame my troops for not being ubermensch. Ragequit.
German master race problems ~ versus Civ5: + Show Spoiler +got nuked by ghandi 10/10 realism This game is highly addictive. Since getting this game I've lost my dog, my job, my hygiene and I'm getting evicted some time next month. However, I was able to secure a domination victory for 'Murica. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
Strong arguments from both lol I wouldn't call Civ easier as such. It just has less depth so that you don't drown in a million sliders to micromanage which lets you focus more on actually playing the game. Well ended up downloading demo's for both and decided not buy any of the two  . Civ 5 was really fun but way too slow. After the 100 turn demo I still wasn't strong enough to kill a nearby city lol. Too much of a timesink. EU4 seems like a really awesome game, loved the music in the demo, amazing maps and depth but the combat system was just too crappy for me to invest my time in it. So I just bought Tropico 4 instead xD. Hasn't much to do with any of the above but at least I can build a town! If you havent played a Tropico game before, prepare to get addicted. 1st time i played the game was Tropico 3, and i got so fucking addicted, my other friends decided to start playing it as well. Needless to say, they also got addicted, and we all spent 2 weeks just hanging out on Skype and playing this thing for hours at a time. Be careful lol.
After doing a bunch of missions I found myself kind of bored actually. Definitely a bunch of replayability in it though!

i really really want to get Outlast or Amnesia (or both), but i just cant hit the "check out" button...

Frankly i also tried a few missions, and didnt like them. The game is all about the sandbox mode, or whatever its called, where you start with nothing, and try to make the biggest city possible, thats where the fun is!

It's been so long since I played Skyrim, anyone know which mods is a standard nowadays? With NMM, I typically have SKSE, SKY UI, Immersive Armor, Weapons and Creatures and Deadly Dragons. Anything else recommended?
You might want to look up Really Useful Dragons at the skyrim nexus site.
In all seriousness, just go through the top 50-100 mods at the nexus and get the ones that sound interesting to you, while checking for major conflicts. I would personally recommend at least (in addition to your current list) going with a magic mod if you're into that kind of thing (Apocalypse is my favorite), and Skyrim Redone is also a positive change in many regards, in my opinion. You may also want to consider the level uncapper.

And get some ENB's if your computer can handle them!

The whole ENB experience is an insane and long process. Not a difficult installation process but with so many mods I just hope there are no conflicts and constant CTD

Both first Amnesia and Outlast are very, very good games. Pick them up, you won't be disappointed.

I came to ask for this. Any feedback about this serie ? I already read some that say it is a good series.
If it was at -75% i would have buy it.

Can anyone tell me about broforce? I know its in early, but it seems quite enjoyable. Just unsure if it's worth €9.

I have Airland Battle and that's an awesome game. Different to most RTS, its all about having the right combination of units and positioning them correctly. It produces some really memorable games as you can play 10 vs 10 online.
I would recommend buying Red Dragon if you don't have any games in the series. Because I own the other two i'm not really willing to spend alot of money on the same thing again with some minor updates. AFAIK all the mechanics are pretty much the same in Red Dragon as they are in Airland Battle.

How sad is this, I own Bad Company 2, retail from Origins. Saw the deal for it on Steam, didnt think too much on it, end of the night comes and im like, well i fucking hated BF3/4, i kinda wanna play some BC2. But i hate origin so much, that id rather pay for it AGAIN, just to play on Steam and not download Origin because Origin is Satan, and i will see it in hell.

So the people who made Origin get your money.
I think they won that one.

Yeah i know, its fucking win win win for them. They design the shittiest DRM possible, forcing me to purchase it again on another distribution platform, just to not have to use their DRM in the 1st place. Its so fucking backwards, ahh my brain is melting. Fucking EA and Origins, godamnit.

Steam its infinite times better than Origin, but i still dont get the hate... for me it seems more like the "cool thing to do" rather than real hate, just like EA getting worst company, its seriously EA worse than Banks, pharmaceutical companies or even private clinics ? i just dont get it
In fact, Origin let you refund your game if you dont like it, a feature I WOULD LOVE to be on Steam

I don't get why people would love either of the plattforms. I avoid both at any point if possible. Sometimes it isn't, sadly.
