My little bro is pretty serious about Fortnite, and he is PISSED about the self-controlled rockets lol.

I can see how it would be a cool, unique addition, but also how there is a major game-breaking factor to them, as well.

they are putting in grenades that when detonate build mini forts for defense. folks ain't happy lol

Just checked out my stats on Overwatch. 465 hours. That's insane.

I think I did that with the Assassin's Creed Ezio trilogy going for 100% synchronization and getting the Platinum Trophies for all achievements.

Nah. You should start as a vassal and destroy the empire from within

I figured this would be a good way to figure out big picture stuff. I HATE all these dukes. Bunch of ungrateful fucks who don't listen to me or grant me enough power. Hell....i had to drag them kicking and screaming to getting rid of Free investiture.

They will rue the day......RUE i say!

Ireland is normally recommended as you can unite the island quite easily and expand into Scotland, Wales, then England while getting a hang of the game. The DLC can get fun. There's just something fun about being a viking and sacking Constantinople every year.

Sounds like a puss turtling strategy. You're like the people who start Risk in Eastern Australia.

What, no of course not. Nukes weren't around in the Middle Ages. Instead you can murder off the entire royal family and subjugate England, incorporating them into the Empire of Alba

Sounds like the new God of War game for PS4 is an instant classic. Can't wait to play it next week.

The Show is dope, digging the RttS changes and the graphics and cameras have changed enough to make an impact and make it feel new/fresh without ruining anything...

The Show is absolutely freakin ridiculous this year... they took a historically great sports franchise and just subtlety tweaked a number of areas about it and man, all these little adjustments made a big difference. An example would be the pitching/hitting cameras and speed, it still feels like a great simulation but they tweaked it so it's easier to see and sense a pitch before it's too late. One of the biggest drawbacks to this game was for casual players you basically had to guess each pitch beforehand to get hits because it was REALLY hard to see the pitch on the fly without tons of practice and investing time. Now you can actually get a feel for each pitch in real time due to the 'fish eye' camera angles and such, it's a small thing that made a huge difference. What's great is I can't find one tweak that I'd consider a net negative, they were all great improvements. My one gripe is they haven't figured out Ohtani yet... He's a decent pitcher with okay hitting stats but you can't hit with him... or at least can not put him in your day to day lineup because in terms of the roster he's just a pitcher. They need to fix that but yeah this game is amazing. Def my fav installment of what was already one of my fav franchises.

Are those tweaks worth 60 bucks if I have last years installment though?

For me it definitely was... If you like the game and think you'll play enough of an improved version then yeah. This is coming from a guy that has bought every single installment of The Show and Fifia for years running now though in fairness.

Has anyone played NHL 18?? That was a year to year purchase of mine too in past generations but on this gen it seemed like things got stale, they tried changes and most of the changes were net negative... but I may be ready to dive back in if anyone here thinks it's worth the time and money.
