Getting the year off right by forgetting to post this on Sunday, but better nate than lever. Anyway I watched the Fallout show so I am inspired to play Fallout 4 on survival difficulty. It’s been slow going so far as I’ve died numerous times, often losing ~30 mins of progess. Hope everyone’s new year has gotten off to a strong start.
Played a decent bunch of Brotato’s new DLC. The second map seems quite a bit harder, but I’m having fun.
Just finished a Total Warhammer 3 game as Chaos Undivided, in the Realm of Chaos campaign. The RoC campaign SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS. Worse than TW2’s Vortex. I don’t know how CA keeps doing this, but the completely randomly spawning armies is still just as infuriating. Guess I’ll just play Immortal Empires from now on because goddamn.
Also been playing a good chunk of Darktide. Ogryn good, throw rock at specials and laugh.
I need to get back into Total War soon. I sort of dropped off during Warhammer 2 because I didn’t like the direction they were going (give me back Three Kingdoms
) but it seems like canning that hero shooter put them back on track. I keep seeing good things about the newest DLCs. They finally learned to stop making mini-campaigns nobody cared about.
As far as I’m aware they’re still adding new special campaign mechanics for every character in the new DLCs. The last proper mini-campaign IIRC was for Khazrak One-Eye in TW1.
Yeah, the faction and character mechanics are good and help keep things fresh. Mini-campaigns are part of what killed Three Kingdoms because they kept making them about characters nobody liked instead of expanding the main map and adding those unique mechanics like Warhammer.
I also hear they turned around the Pharaoh game, but I haven’t played that one or Troy.
