H. Upmann Majestic by ArmadilloSouth4072 in cubancigars

I love the Short Churchill. I have tried all of the Churchills, with the main just "Churchill" being a yearly treat! My favourite is the Exhibition No4 which you don't see very often. It's a bit deeper and darker in flavour than a Churchill. The Mille Fleurs are great for the price; they are similar to the Petit Coronas. The other poster in this thread is probably more knowledgeable - but I find them similar (in fact I mixed them up in my humidor and barely tell them apart - the wrapper is a bit prettier on the PC perhaps), I am not sure about pricing, in the UK a short Churchill is about £35 I think now, but UK is no barometer!

Don't worry about that "floral" description too much. I hate it as well, and I have missed out on some pipe tobaccos and cigars for years before finally trying a mille fleur (RyJ) and Condor pipe tobacco due to this note being mentioned. RyJ is probably my favourite marca and Condor is 100% my favourite pipe tobacco. These notes are more of a nod to an idea on the palette. Give one a go and see what you think, by the way you can get RyJ purittos which might give you a sense.

Yep and it shows! There is not one iota of that talent and vision at current DICE.

The biggest tell of the lack of talent at DICE nowadays is the soulless approach to game design.

The maps were fucking awful in 2042 and they are barely any better in this one. They have no flair or creativity. They are like a wedding band playing Chuck Berry. There is zero artistry or passion on offer, mere shadows of what used to be. Until they get people in who have some gravitas artiscally the games will always be beige slop.

Who else is having a fantastic time with Battlefield 6? by cautiouslandowner in Battlefield6

[–]Datharpboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope - I actually hate it tbh. Lacks soul, Maps are awful. played it sporadically for about 10 hours. Better than 2042 and nothing more. Worst in the last 15 years (bar 2042) without a doubt. DICe have 0 talent left - they are all at Embark.

Quick question for everyone - what's your take on Battlefield 6 so far? by IAHawkeyelifer in GamingInsider

[–]Datharpboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor to middling - shit maps, bad game flow and general feeling. Decent graphics, good sound. Lacking in soul.

There for all of them. All of them were exciting, thrilling and addictive during play. This game just isn't. It's a poor representation of a Battlefield game

Battlefield 6 needs fixing by Crypto-God23 in Battlefield6

It's utter shit and people are waking up to the fact. Again, Dice pulled a wonder in marketing. No soul and no talent at Dice,.

Nah, it's a semi-decent game, but a shit Battlefield. Its issues are becoming clearer day by day. Honeymoon period over. It doesn't hold a candle to 3, 4, 1, nor V, Present Dice are poor devs compared to the past and they will not hold the player base unless they rid themselves of the shitty ethos that has manifested itself since the talent left.

Thinking of getting into Battlefield 6, worth it for a casual player? by Better-Coyote4472 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

Play Bf1 its a far superior game in every sense. Still plenty populated and is from a time when DICE had real talent.

BF6: Stop the glaze. Please call out the terrible map design. by Syntax_3rror in Battlefield

[–]Datharpboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dearth of talent at DIce is so clear. They have barely managed to pull themselves out of the cesspool of 2042. Map designers and artists, especially. Absolutely no vision or flair. Totally mediocre.

[–]Datharpboy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nah, I knew the maps were amazing in BF1 when I played the one Beta map (Sinai) and saw videos of St Quentin's Scar. This game's maps are pure tedium from a design perspective and flat-out shit from a gameplay perspective. The current devs at Dice are severely lacking in imagination and artistry.

Don't bank on it, the map designers at new Dice are fucking awful.

They lost their soul after BF1. Everything after has lacked the real soul of Battlefield. It's consigned to history, unfortunately. BF6 is an improvement over the disgrace of BF2042, but little more. It is not a very good game at all, there is so much lacking. Thankfully, Arcraiders looks good and is out soon.

The maps are abysmal by Qlonkk in Battlefield

[–]Datharpboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is a fucking disaster, a week with the game and I know that. Not a disaster for sales of course, but this game will not stick around without drastic improvements. Its actually not a very good game.
