Hey, thanks for sharing this! This was a really cool article and is definitely good news
Seriously, it would be great for mobile. I played the OG ones using a GBA emulator but I want more Advanced Wars
I am fully aware we are in the golden age of GamePass. It's such a ridiculously good value right now it is almost inevitably going to go downhill eventually. I have ultimate and use it on Xbox, PC, and mobile a ton. It's like the golden years of Netflix 10 years ago before everyone pulled their catalog and launched their own service. I know eventually it will be bad, but I'm enjoying it right now. And extra $2/month doesn't bother me, but I know it isn't the first increase we'll see.
Oh, then definitely do it. The first 3 books are great. Books 4-7 are good but not great in my opinion. They probably should have been consolidated into 2 or 3 books instead of 4. I haven't started book 8 yet, so I can't speak to how it ends
It's the first book in the cradle series which it looks like you said you've read already?
Unsouled is a good one! I think there series is a bit too long, but definitely progression fantasy and a pretty neat bit of world building. Each book is relatively short so it isn't too big of a commitment in one go
Most mobile games through the app store are ad filled garbage. The two big exceptions ive found are Game Pass on mobile, and Netflix games. Netflix games are basically the mobile games with all the bullshit taken out.
Slay the Spire and Monster Train have been my favorites lately
Same here. I played it right after Citizen Sleeper which is a similar type of game and felt like Citizen Sleeper was drastically better
NFL/Fantasy Football! That's what will draw me back to reddit right now
Place stacks button woohoo! Anything to make chest management easier. Difficulty setting is good too. With four players the game is to easy right now for me and my friends.
Last update December 2021 makes me sad. I hope he has more updates soon!
Pulsar is the game that I feel like was so close to being a great game but they gave up on it before it got there. Working together to run the ship is awesome but the world is SOOO empty. Like at least add mod support so folks can help or something. I want to love the game but that always stops me.
Fantasy football is a big one for me too
Mount and Blade Warband! Base game is just ok, but mods like Diplomacy make it way better. Then you look at Prophecy of Pendor or Perisno and you've got basically an entirely new game with the same engine and it's awesome. I have hundreds of hours of Mount and Blade, and probably only like 25 of them are vanilla.
Also, the view source button on comment replies doesn't seem to work
There is a pretty decent scripted tabletop simulator for Kingdom Death. Me and a couple buddies player five or six session and we were able to pick up and play pretty quickly.
I was super in to Dominions 3 back in the day, played it online a ton, won a few big games. It's got a brutal learning curve though. Late game when the turns were on a 96 hour timer and that still felt too short..
That's awesome! I have a 6 year old I'm trying to build up to playing better games. That type of game definitely is better with friends/kids. Just the time savings from gathering resources makes a big difference, plus being able to share the epic moments.
The Guild 2 and 3. They are so janky and absurd. Half the mechanics barely work, the dialogue is ridiculous, but the game just has charm. It's got just enough economy mechanics to keep my math brain engaged while mostly playing it like The Sims.
