If you like boardgames the Frosthaven Kickstarter is closing in about 90min :siren:

It's prequel Gloomhaven has basically sat at the #1 spot of Board Game Geeks all time list for a long long time as the ~Board Game Darling~ of the moment.
I have wanted to pickup Gloomhaven for a while now, but it's supppppper expensive at retail.

The box it comes in is absolutely gigantic, with an absolute fuckload of secrets to discover. (You don't have access to all the player classes to being with and unlock them over the course of the game for example)

Here's a pretty good review of Gloomhaven to give you an idea.

yeah

mostly now they're an outdated excuse for world pvp that hasn't been good since 2005 and a writing crutch so they can reset the world to a nonsense status quo each expansion

Storywise there should probably be a variety of sovereign nations all competing and cooperating as it suits their interests and goals over time. The alliance is supposed to have different kingdoms under it, but lately they all just bow to Anduin as Super Mega King Forever. If someone sat down and really lored out the realistic likely political interests and divisions of the various peoples and groups within them on the planet and a bit beyond... they could make one of those Europa Euniversalis type games with all the intimidating maps and menus and charts.

If an open world game can keep me playing for 30 hours it's top tier. Hell 15 hours is pretty impressive.

Any game that doesn't go into 100+ hours is kind of a miserable failure. Fallout 4 is probably one of the worst ways a human could spend their time on Earth but at least it takes a cool hundo

I was really expecting the big ending of Battle of Azeroth be some sort of lasting peace or a merging of the factions - or the factions dividing into their own groups like you said. What would really change? You can go to Stormwind as a troll and group with some different looking races to usual. You can still have world PvP - just say you can be aligned to a die hard sect who refuses to let the war die, or say it's combat training or some poo poo.

The story of WoW has been such a boring repetitive slog for the last 10 years now. It needs a major structural change to jolt the writers to life.

World PvP would be easy if they set us several nations, like, Elves could be fighting anyone who chops trees again, could have an undead nation that's pro-unlife and seeks to spread it diplomatically. Church of the Light would probably do a Vatican City-state kind of thing. Shamans and Druids seem like they'd make a couple hardy earth refuges and just keep everyone else the gently caress away from loving up nature more. There's a ton of ways to skin this cat but they'll probably just add a cat race before ever bothering.

As someone who loved Witcher 3 and AC Odyssee: lmao huh???

I don't beleive people actually play those offbrand prince of persia games, they're like the toys on the ground at "Big Lots!". they make a bunch of em and presumably someone is buying them but come on.

Witcher 3 is over 100 hours, at least for me, a person who still never even finished it. There's a ton of pointless filler, irritatingly blended in with filler that is actually rewarding and fun.

I love when people read Revelations are like "oh man, this snake cup the angels are pouring out obviously means Israel will invent a cure for world hunger but Russia will invade them and install the new antichrist as winner of the silvagunna king for a day tournament...

Did any of y'all grow up BAC enough to read the Left Behind series of books? The best part of the books is when this jewish guy who still doesn't really believe in god, but he invented like the superplants that grow in poo poo deserts or whatever because god is blessing him or some poo poo. Anyway, at one point he makes this non-metal blade that is so thin and sharp the antichrist's security team doesn't catch it. I don't think he even ends up killing anyone with it, but I'll never forget this weird subplot about making this magic wooden nearly-invisible sword to assassinate the anti-christ. Does'nt work, the Antichrist is straight up a really, really good guy according to the authors. They kept wanting him to be this evil guy but he demonstrably improved the world, by their own accounts, the world was only improved by the sudden mass exodus of Christians. At least until Jesus shows back up to gently caress poo poo up, but I lost interest in the last book. They somehow made the second coming of christ boring.

I've got nothing against artificial sweeteners but they should have another name, like nickelodeon gak acid, robot's leaky dick gel, battery acidifier, antifreezener, or axe body spray concentrate.

I'm no tasteologist but "sweet" means something that splendango and company are obviously not interested in pursuing. Sweet/Umumami/Salt/Sour/Bitter/Industrial-Cleaner. Give that last group its own group, stop stuffing it in with sugar.
