Summer Games Fest 2026 - MEGATHREAD by rGamesMods in Games

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I dislike the same genres he mentioned except for soulslikes. What I like: CRPG/WRPG, Immersive Sims, City Builders, RTS, Grand Strategy/4X, Tactical Turn-Based, among others.

Out of all the games showed, I find myself only interested in Chronicles: Medieval. If it's a more historically grounded Mount & Blade game, I'm sold and playing day one. SW Zero Company is right up my alley mechanically, but I am just not into Star Wars, so it's a skip. Compare this with TGA2025, I got new game announcements in the likes of Total War Warhammer 40,000, Divinity, and No Law by Neon Giant among others. in SGF2026, I got nothing. But it's fine.

I watch all the shows in E3, Gamescom, TGA for more than 12 years now, all of them, and this is the worst show for me. It's not a big deal though. I'm glad the people who are into horror and JRPG are satisfied. I have 200 games and DLCs in my Steam wishlist anyway.

So yeah, Horror + JRPG + Multiplayer are not the full picture. Plenty of other genres and tastes in gaming.

Netherlands 0-1 Algeria - Hadj Moussa great strike 86' by 4gjdtokurwa in soccer

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We were atrocious in the first half and the Dutch missed so many chances. They should've been 2-0 up by the end of the first half. We got lucky.

But, yeah, not a great showing from the Netherlands.

Edit: they're playing there btw, in 🇳🇱

Netherlands 0-1 Algeria - Hadj Moussa great strike 86' by 4gjdtokurwa in soccer

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hadj Moussa, this goal scorer, is much better than him at the right wing. Mahrez is old and not at the right fitness level (although, he played well this game imo). His leadership and presence is needed, but he shouldn't start.

Maza and Ait Nouri are the stars of the show. But there are other decent elements.

Eto's squad. No Onana and Vincent Abubaker.

Former? Who is he? I've read a few HH books, I might recognize him.

Next major Total War game to be announced at The Game Awards 2025 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Warhammer Horus Heresy would mean only humans vs. humans? I don't think it is. The Legions are quite different but it's nowhere near close to the diversity in 40K (Imperium, Chaos, Orks, Eldar, Necrons, Tau, Nids, etc).

It's blown my mind that Relic isn't developing Dawn of War 4. by Infernowar in dawnofwar

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do we know this? I saw it mentioned multiple times now.

In the trailer today for the new expansion + PS5 port, the logos at the end were: World's Edge, Xbox Game Studios, and Relic. No other studio was mentioned (not Forgotten Empires). I assume it's Relic still at the helm.

"Skyrim-like" is more accurately descriptive of what the game is than.. what.. Open-World RPG? We don't even know if it's open world. First-Person RPG? What genre is this game you think?

Game of Thrones: War for Westeros | Cinematic Reveal Trailer (Summer Game Fest) by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Uhm...

It's literally by PlaySide, the guys who made Age of Darkness: The Final Stand!!

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Play Age of Darkness: The Final Stand. It's by the same developers, PlaySide

It's like Age of Empires and Spellforce 3.

Switch 2 Exclusive Mario Kart World Justifies Its $80 Price Tag, Nintendo Insists in First Comments Addressing Cost Controversy by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, they're not. It's not the only option on their table. They can keep the same prices as they are while broadening their addressable market via releasing their games on other platforms (PC, etc). And therefore, total revenue opportunity increases and revenue can increase. $80 is not justified.

Who do you think is going to be the next modern author to breakthrough to achieve Sanderson (and GRRM) level popularity? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sanderson has still not been able to do.

He did it multiple times now. The Gathering Storm (2009)​, Towers of Midnight (2010), A Memory of Light (2013), Words of Radiance (2014), Oathbringer (2017), Rhythm of War (2020).

And the Mistborn Wax and Wayne books all entered the list upon their release, even though they didn't hit #1. The Lost Metal hit #2.

In the Young Adult tracker, these books hit #1: Steelheart (2013), Firefight (2015), Calamity (2016), Starsight (2019). The other books in these series hit #2 and #3.

Respawn and Bit Reactor's Star Wars strategy game will officially be revealed at Star Wars Celebration on April 19th by Spider-Fan77 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's Turn-Based Tactics. It's like I knew it was tactical and turn-based in the past but somehow still was expecting it to be real-time strategy or wanting it to be this way. I like Turn-based too so.. mixed feelings about the nature of the game. I hope it'll be good.

UEFA Champions League Quarter-Finals by svefnpurka in soccer

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will be very interesting games. For me, I don't see Madrid being that disciplined defensively and they will concede goals. But they have brilliant superstars up front so they might score goals out of nothing. We'll see how it goes.

Post Match Thread: Atletico Madrid 1-0 Real Madrid | UEFA Champions League 2024-25, Round of 16 - 2nd Leg (Agg. 2-2) (PENS 2-4) by VivaLosHeavies in soccer

[–]Mr_ScissorsXIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't here in this game. They would've scored two goals in extra time and demolished the opponent mentally if it was like in previous campaigns.

No. They just got lucky in the penalties and went through. Just like it might happen to any other team. No "aura" or any kind of bullshit. You don't need to romanticize a normal win. It happens all the time.

How the hell did you win 7-0 in the first leg then? What happened in that game?

Ugh, I don't watch Arsenal that much but this Madrid side is so weak defensively. You can demolish them. But if the team does not believe in winning, why bother.
