"getting fired because someone else finds out youre lgbtwtfbbqwhatever and pitches a fit to management who fires you for 'performance issues'" Astaroth, I think in the U.S. at least, civil rights legislation has made that illegal nowadays I'm pretty sure LGBT people are protected under our employment laws, at least to some extent: www.cnn.com/2013/11/07/politics/senate-lgbt-workplace-discrimination/index.htmlI don't remember politics being off-limits to these forum's rules... *checks rules ctrl-f 'politics' *... nothing. I still am suspicious. I'll report myself not because I think anyone did anything wrong, but I think this deserves mod attention... myself because I don't wanna potentially get anyone in trouble (I doubt I would but better me than some innocent schmuck). I'll just say for now though that yes LGBTWTFBB is protected from workplace discrimination in many first world countries (I wont pretend to know if it is in all), but I personally have no trust/faith in CNN regarding these kinds of matters. PM me if you like to know why, unless a mod says loaded topics like this is A-ok to talk about

oh god, so much to say..
first off currently I'm enjoying my @#%@%# off playing chroma squad... and i never even liked power ranger type shows... this game is so great though, I actually think it's better than xcom at being... like xcom, kinda. I mean it's not a reskin of xcom with more stuff or anything, it IS different in some ways, but in all the right ways IMO.
I WOULD be playing fairy fencer F but my credit card expired, and awhile back and they mailed me the new one with some terms that I was like wdf this isn't what my card is supposed to do! so I delayed activating it until my card expired so I could have a chance to contact people and make sure that the terms were misunderstood or written improperly or didn't apply to me or something.. turns out it was partially didn't apply to me, partially written incorrectly. So I was like ok cool thanks I'll activate it now.. so then I try to activate it, and then I can't because they told me I cancelled my card for a new one and I was like wdf no I didn't... stupid lady I asked questions to that I TOLD I already had my new card and I simply chose not to activate it YET because I had questions somehow got the impression that I DIDNT get it yet and she had to send a new one so she basically made the card I actually HAD unable to activate... so I can't buy fairy fencer F now until the @%#@%ing card comes in my mail... I tried sending money from my bank account into paypal and buy it with paypal bucks.. and they say it takes 3-5 days to do, so I'm like cool I got 6 days (well now I have like 3), and then after hitting ok it changed to 19 days.. 19!?! WDF... *runs away crying*.
The thing is I HAVE cash for it I just can't use the damn stuff, yarg.
Now sins of a solar empire, Gunlord, your description is not false, but...it doesn't really capture what makes Sins Sins.
Sins of a solar empire is one of very few RTS games I like, I generally prefer Turn-based strategy games. Because I feel turn based strategy games reward strategy, and RTS games, while strategy IS in fact the determining factor for victory amongst equally capable players...keyboard/macro/mouse/hotkey/micro speed is the winner otherwise. RTS games place SO EFFING MUCH emphasis on making the player who can click and select and target and hotkey spells and hotkey town structures and all that jazz the fastest, that actual strategy and tactics fall so far behind IMO....
SINS is a SLOW RTS... you shouldn't expect to finish a match in 10-30 mins... sometimes they can take even 3 hours, I'd say it's even slower than Supreme commander (another RTS I like because it's 'slow' and strategic)... now by slow, I don't mean slow just because it gives you time to think per say, please don't think slow as a negative, so much as a matter of taste.
For example, if you play RTS games alot, you'll probably agree that unless you're a micro hotkey god, that like the 0-99% players generally attack or defend with 100% of their army.. there's no splitting their army up, attacking multiple fronts (and if they ARE attacking multiple fronts, the reason isn't for tactical reasons so much as simply to stress the enemy player out and cause difficulty COMMANDING multiple fronts at the same time in that fast-paced real time hard to micro that fast nature), etc.
Sins of a solar empire has stars that you have to warp to via connections (starlanes I think they are called? I forget), and after you do so, you ahve to use impulse-engine speed to go from one end of that star-system to the other, which takes like a minute, then warp again to reach the next connecting star, then again for the next, and again for the next.
Basically if you have your entire army attacking somewhere halfway across the map and you're under attack, you simply will not be able to rush back to your base and defend it until like 5-10 minutes later. You MUST split your forces, *OR*, you must establish chokepoints via the starlanes to defend.
The game also has a much deeper sense of economics and research than your typical RTS game, kind of like Rise of nations (I love that game too), research isn't simply clicking the 3-4 research thingies on every odd structure.. you actually have a research menu where you can select from a tree from several. There are no resources that you collect either like most RTS games.. you make colonies on planets and they have populations and you tax them, and each colony has their own set of buildings to build...
It's basically a 4x turn-based strategy game made real time for all intents and purposes IMO.

Depends on what the minimum system requirements are... From the sound of the Gamescom bit, it'll be Windows 10 minimum, unless that's just for the cross-play functionality. I find it very unlikely that they are going to develop an indie game with system requirements so steep that it requires a system that isn't even considered released yet.

I'll say it again, but I hope this game is moddable enough that we can add our own outfits, though having a select few high-quality professionally designed ones would still be nice, I don't think we need to spend the pro dev talent in something like bunny suits or whatever since any old moddler can prob do that pretty easily since they are all pretty similar.
That said wedding dress miriam isn't stupid, as said she's cute as heck, so it would really be impossible to make her NOT look great in one. That said, given her colourful skin, and her complicated haircolour.. a plain white wedding dress probably wouldn't suit her as much as one with some kind of hue IMO.

Legion is a cool boss and all. But I fail to see how floating at a snails pace waiting for corpses that you dont even control to kill stuff slowly on their own would be very fun.
I think the key to having a fun object to play AS is to have a variety of mobility and attack options that make the player constantly decide which to use for specific situations.

... You know perverts can be interested in men too right? And you know that people can enjoy playing as a woman without some PC excuse like "diversity" without being a pervert.

the op not mentioning Ys to begin with is a sin beyond redemption! Everyone should play Ys! I suggest origins if it's your first time playing it. I like chronicles as well but I do NOT suggest that as your first game, it's different than all the others, so even if you do like it it doesn't really let you know if you would like the rest (though I don't see why anyone wouldn't).

honestly the dumb required to jump to that conclusion (that said character is MS exclusive I mean) made me facepalm the first time... the fact that people keep saying it even though they are told otherwise several times... *runs away crying*.

Dungeon travellers 2 is a game I corgot to mention here but have in other forums... It was actually the last game before I decided I needed a vita. I mean I was like "I dont want a vita until there I want x number of games for it" and dungeon travellers 2 was the very last one where I was like "k... I need a vita now".

I'm pretty sure that's just plain not possible without them wasting too much money on licensing than it's worth... of course if such things were MODDABLE, people could have these things for free without legal issues provided someone skilled enough at designing costumes is interested in making em =P

Yeah I intend to test and make liberal use of any report form thing.
I also enjoy beta tests for balance reasons. Its nice being able to remember overpowered bosses or stages or enemies from times past provided there were any, and there often are.

Accents: The music. Far and by, the music. The melodies set the atmosphere. Tension, excitement, fear, joy... All are conveyed by the music. Yeah, I've said it before and I don't mean to belittle or disregard iga or anything. I do like everything he has contributed to the series alot...but Yamane is...is... I really think She makes castlevania more than anyone else. Even if Music is considered a secondary aspect. I really love her work, and she exudes a personal style and executes it perfectly that just FITS perfectly in castlevania, it can't be... not ignored, because I mean, you can't NOT see it in the front IMO. I recently had to watch some football movie that's rather old now. Features some not-quarterback dude named Michael or big mike... And despite him not having a primary position in a football team (quarterback), he was like... he made the football team. That's Yamane to me. She's not the primary person or anything, but she's just that important to Castlevania IMO.

EROTIC VIOLENCE... oh wait.. igvania game? boo =P.
Seriously though, for me it's just the whole castle exploring. I mean many games have worlds to explore, and a fair amount of those have relatively beautiful worlds to explore, but they tend to be rather game-ey with lava areas, ice areas, tower area, etc...often with little sense as to their placement or why they are there in that game's actual world. When I explore a castle in most igvania type games, despite that it's obvious fiction with monsters and undead and magic and all that, it's often done in a way that can KIND of make it somewhat believeable to pretend like it's a REAL castle...as someone who just adores exploring buildings and houses and stuff, I adore that.

The character I mentioned earlier in elsword, rena the grand archer, also has no bowstring or arrows =P. Both games are korean, so evidently koreans have mastered the art of crafting stringless/arrowless bows.

Ill assume this is legit cuz I dont know nikkei. However Id be hard pressed to believe this if it was from kotaku alone. If nikkei is somehow affiliated with kotaku or gawker I wouldnt believe a word.
