It's been years since Sub Zero launched, so ready.

My list of watched EA games that I'm waiting for 1.0:



Hardspace is resetting progress with the next update so might get back into that.

A number of Hololive members are among them, but only the prototypes of Pekora and Marine are shown so far. I'm keen to see how Flare, Mio and Korone look like.
Probably need to wait till summer for us to see some of the prototypes. Depending on the product lines, I hope they can release before end of 2022 because as far as I know, figure production is heavily impacted by covid. :face-without-mouth:

CSD3 has been out of EA for a while now (although it's basically the same as it was at the start of EA, few more gameplay gimmicks and a bunch of new levels).

Once again a new historical low for

XCOM 2 -92% - [UWSL][UWSL][UWSL]~3.29€[/UWSL][/UWSL][/UWSL] - Using discount code "SAVESAVESAVE".

I've been playing the game for a few days and all I can say it's great but tough as nails. I'm not sure I will be able to do the final mission but I will try my best.

Cities Skylines is 50% off on Steam. I liked the base game.

Can anyone advise on what are the top DLCs? There are loads of them. I dont really care for cosmetic ones, i'd prefer any that were more gameplay orientated.

Yeah. To be specific, WonHobby from good smile company and their friends. They announced tons of interesting stuff today. Other companies are also doing well at online wonfes on last Sunday.
I'm just hoping i can get them in the UK but with stupid brexit tax i dread to think what the import fees would be these days. :crying-face:



I'd have to get them all of course but i realise i've got no chance before they sell out.

Depends on what you like, you have the ones that expand the game without increasing the challenge:

Green Cities: Overall gorgeus, over 300 assets for building an eco-city, but mostly aestethic. Adds also renewable energy things.

After Dark: Mostly aesthetic but diversifies the game economy and brings tourism and commerce areas. Also adds cycling (bike highways, cycling areas, etc)

Parklife: To add zoo, parks, fairs and some basic zoo management.

Campus: Huge, new missions and discoveries, more options and assets for schools and universities.

Industries: Makes the game approach games like Tropico or other builders, when you can take an industrial path, one of the most meaty dlc where you can manage an industrial city, customize your pipelines, adds services and mail carriers to your city.

Then you have the dlc that add features, but also add difficulty to the game, something that some people don't like.

Mass Transit: Adds a lot of public transport options but also transit kinda becomes a constant problem you have to solve.

Natural Disasters: Probably the most controversial since adds features that can destroy parts of your city and tranform it into a miserable place to live. (you can turn it off). The effects are pretty but seems hard to recommend.

Snowfall: Adds heat pipes and district heating, and snow becomes a big problem you also need to solve, especially at the beginning, but almost all of its features are contained into three or four maps. If you like to play in a green or tropical area you probably won't notice you even have it.

(sorry, it's kinda long and i'm at work and can't proofread)

Finished chapter 11 of Yakuza 0 yesterday.

So, we are supposed to believe that this random police detective built a gigantic underground fighting ring, located under an underwater elevator?

Incredibly wacky! Even for Yakuza standards!

(And yes, I know he said the tunnels were there before he got there,)

Not that much progress on the main story in that chapter though!

You will need to monitor them going up for pre-order to ensure that you can get them on day 1. Pop Up Parade is also a cheaper product line compared with usual scale figures, so they will be relatively cheaper and may be easier to find after release. Getting them second-hand from sites like Mandarake is also a good option. :cat-heart-blob:

but also transit kinda becomes a constant problem you have to solve.
to me it felt like that was the case in the base game already... :grimacing-face: I really liked Cities Skylines until my shoddy road planning killed my city... and I didnt enjoy re-planning roads all the time. I honestly just yearn for SimCity 2000 or 3000 with an elegant interface, some more modern graphics, big maps to really expand, some more depth in what you can build, but no super difficult micromanagent or worrying about the roads & traffic all the time and no (or: not a lot) gating when it comes to what you can build.

Yeeeeaaaaah no
The entire setting and premise of that game is a big fuckin no.
Not even just that, The dev team's only other game was the PS4 VR game Golem which wasn't good lmao.

Also Marty O'Donnell is likely the composer and hes a massive asshole so ill pass thanks.

gabbo From a quick look at the article it's saying that most of the people in the industry in the UK have a university degree. However the government seem to be trying to move normal school kids away from arts and creative subjects into more vocational topics "So they can get jobs." while keeping the arts and creative topics open for the posh school kids. This means that the creative industries in the UK will increasingly fill with more white toffs. Typical UK classism from the government.

I'm just cynical and biased though.

If you were ever interested in Ace Combat 7
Best to get it when you can to be on the safe side. Seems licensing for the jets is the reason for delisting.

Missed that, thanks for letting me know.

You're missing Valheilm!
Survival games are really my thing unless they are heavily story/goal based.

Only ever heard of the game's title and wasn't aware of the real-life events of Fallujah.
After reading a bit about it, damn, that's some cruel inhumane stuff the US military did. What the hell.

So this is really a weird effort by the US army to drive up number of people enlisting? Seems strange to revive such an old game and with the setting of the Iraq War being so universally unpopular.
