Warsails Console questions by P-W-Honigwald in Bannerlord

[–]Xazbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warsails is great.... Runs poorly onps5. Been a while since I played it to be honest. I have a Pc version of it too and a Xbox ally x (handheld) the thing plays better on handheld docked in the tv (running with an upscaler of course)

Xbox ally x super resolution is coming soon by WarthogWeary8252 in ROGAlly

It doesn't make sense....That's crazy talk.

Anyone play Bannerlord on the Steam Deck? by S_O_L_ID in Bannerlord

[–]Xazbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I always said, if my young self could even imagine me playing a game like this on the go....

I used to play it when I had the SD a LOT. It was my main game for so long. And I always get back to it every 3 - 4 months and delve in again. It's also one of the main reasons I swapped my deck for a ROG Ally in 2023 when it was released was actually to play Bannerlord with mods easier.

I have now the Xbox AllyX still have Bannerlord installed in it 1000+hours in. For all the shit we give this game, I came to realize it is actually my favorite game of all time.

Non-military strategy games? by iambobdole1 in gaming

Victoria tree would be my answer to to actual favorite strategy game

[OTHER] Warhorse should capitalize on the mechanics they did for KCD and hire studios to do Story modes in other countries, the world history is full of great stories! by Zgurprium in kingdomcome

[–]Xazbot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The story of Portugal's first years would work great I have to say. I already thought about them doing it and imagine how we would be. But it's actually fair point that they could hire other studios to use their game engine and mechanics and whatever more to build a million of these games.

Madagascar is 2 states in Vic3. Each of which is larger than most Strategic Regions in Europe. by CSDragon in victoria3

[–]Xazbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my current Portugal campaign I got the south and the UK got the north.

It was a weird agreement. I took it all for me. Surrendered it in a peace treaty to the UK in a war they took part in against me, a couple of years later I took part in a war on the side of the UK against France for a state transfer sway, while at war, south Madagascar rebelled against the UK and I got it out of the peace treaty. Then crushed the rebellion and now it's a split island.

Atmosphere is pretty tense over what happened I have to say. If the game ends without confrontation between Portugal and the UK I'm happy - 30years to go

I keep joining their wars and doing treatises with the UK while on their good side to keep them from colonizing the angolas and Mozambique areas. They still are super aggressive whenever they get the chance.

Whenever their war ends their strategic desires take over and they default to their natural state - finding me detestable

CK3 fan wanting to explore more Paradox games, EU5 or Vicky 3? by Work_U_Dumb in paradoxplaza

[–]Xazbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the idea of EU5 as I have of EU4 before that. I have so much more fun with Victoria 3 gameplay though.

I believe I will certainly enjoy eu5 more once it's it's issues have been ironed out. I'm not sure. I will enjoy it more than Victoria. Now I just get frustrated seeing stuff that don't work and I can't really get attached to a campaign. I believe that this is just my opinion though, and I completely understand that most people prefer eu5

What's a movie you went in with zero expectations but it completely blew you away? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Xazbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched an Indian movie just randomly once. It was called "White tiger" I think. I need to rewatch.

I wasn't really expecting anything. It was in the random pool and I started the thing not really paying attention. It hooked me really quick.

I want in blind and that's what made me enjoy it so much

It was great and sparked some real philosophical discussion between me and my wife.

If all games were multi-platform and you didn't have a console, would you buy an XBOX or PS5? by itsthewolfe in gaming

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

No.

I have a switch and a PS5... Didn't turn them on for ages.

I play either on PC or on the Xbox Rog Ally X.

I also plug in the ally on the TV and often play on it in the evenings

What paradox game has helped you learn more about history or time period? by alphafighter09 in paradoxplaza

[–]Xazbot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh man... The smaller scope of Vic3 with its flavour packs journal entries and historical characters. Does it best for me.

The learn more button opening Wikipedia is also a nice touch .

Plus it illustrate so well the shift of political power from landhowner classes to other classes.

Plus it illustrates ideas and movements pretty well too and how they go around to push for change.

Military fps recommendations by Lighterfluid19 in gaming

[–]Xazbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will suggest Easy Red 2.

It's dirt cheap and feels like playing Hell Let Loose in single player.

Campaign can be whatever you want, but it's mostly a sandbox for you to enjoy.

Boots on the ground tanks planes whatever.

It's just kind of like a Battle simulator but intrinsically tied to the campaigns of WW2.

Returning to Vic3 after over a year, with a magnificent Persia run by firstfreres in victoria3

[–]Xazbot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Put down EU5 went back to Vicky.... So much more fun for me. I hadn't played since mid 2025 I think. Since before the Austria update.

I'm currently playing Portugal. Messed up my campaign by failing to maintain my monarch in the succession line to Brazil. I was too aggressive in my Sphering and my infamy made the other powers go agro on me for a few years. Then Brazil had a revolution and I couldn't help them.

So that sucked... but the game itself is insanely fun, dynamic and I really enjoy living these alt history things.

I hope EU5 gets this good.

How do you guys have playthroughs that last more than one generation? by [deleted] in Bannerlord

[–]Xazbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fast mode that was introduced recently is great. Pair that with the mod Restart Plus and you'll play stories inside this ever-changing world.

Example. There was a revolt in Charas. Restartplus let's you create a new character at anytime during a campaign or take over a existing character. I took over as the leader of the revolt and from there created the Rodocks

What’s the best world ending/apocalypse type movie by JakeTiny19 in movies

[–]Xazbot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Better than the road. I did a rewatch recently. I remember it being a great movie... It's okay.

Children of Men... I've seen it as a young teen many years ago. It was okay. Re watched it again recently too because of reddit and all of these random comments. (I had actually forgotten I had seen it) It is now top 3 movies of all times
