I never played the Heroes of Might and Magic games growing up and feels bad man.
What are the games in the series I should pickup and the ones I should avoid? appreciate any help.
>>337110648
1, 2, and especially 3 are good
4 is okay, did more wrong than right
5 onwards never happened
>>337110648
Modded Heroes 3 is generally the best one, they're all extremely long games if you're thinking about playing the campaigns so if you have limited time and don't want to be overwhelmed you can start with H3, otherwise give them all a chance.
Heroes 1 is the objectively worst one since it's the simplest and that's where the franchise started, but the campaign is relatively short (relatively being the keyword) and would let you see how the franchise started.
Heroes 2 is an improvement in every single way, a very good game, one of the best.
Heroes 3 changed art style from drawn fantasy to pre-rendered 3D (for units and towns) but gameplaywise it's the peak of the series provided you mod it. You will want the Complete version from GOG (avoid the "HD" version from Steam, that's base game without expansions ported from tablets), patch the Complete version with the "Heroes 3 HD Mod", google it and after you're done playing the game and the 2 expansions you will want to look into the Horn of the Abyss which is a recent unofficial (but feels like a fully official product) expansion to the game that improves upon it even further.
Then you've got the polarizing Heroes 4 which drastically altered gameplay in some aspects and thus it's a love it or hate it afair in the fanbase, you will need to try it yourself and don't listen to faggots telling you to avoid it. Just make up your fucking own mind.
Then you've got Heroes 5 which returns to the more cartoony fantasy art style, but in 3D. Gameplay has been changed from combat being hex-based to grid-based, but it also added some much needed improvements to the series, modded with H5.5 mod it's arguably best in the franchise contending with H3.
Will continue in next post.

I honestly feel bad for you OP.

What the fuck were they thinking?
You fix the firewall yet?
>>337108481
I have no idea.
I'm offended that Square Enix decided to put a good game out that I had to play from start to finish
>>337108481
>"Why don't we make another Deus Ex game?"
Probably something like that. A risky move for sure after the catastrophe that was IW but it paid off.
Uncharted 4 has the best-looking character models of any game across any platform, this is indisputable
>>337108351
Is that in game?

HAWAII REGION POKEMON!!!
The water starter is possibly the ugliest starter of all time. The grass starter is pretty cool. The fire starter is kind of weird.
>>337114870
Yet ANOTHER water-seal starter?
JUST
Is there a worse zone in SotFS than Iron Keep?
Playing through it for the first time right now and this shit is just pure tedium, having to draw them all out one by one, snipe the archers and pray to god I one-shot Smelter just so I don't have to deal with those clowns ever again
was it always this bad?
Yea it sucks.
>>337107360
Funny I was just playing through that area an hour back.
I had been thoroughly enjoying Dark Souls II till this point at which I thought 'so THIS is why people complain about dude fifty enemies lmao'
Why the fuck do those knights aggro from across the map? Why are there two archers on opposite ends of a narrow area ensuring if you go after one you'll get hit by the other? Why is it that one of them blocks the fog door and the other one has 4 knights instantly appear when you approach it?
Without summoning a phantom it's not even hard, just pure tedious and annoying
>>337107360
>oneshot smelter
nah no way unless your some autistic speedrunner
What are my fellow 30-year-old gamers (or if that word triggers you, players) looking forward to?
I'm excited for Persona 5, Nier Automata and more recently the new Doom.
Enjoying video games like never before.
>>337106820
is this a joke
Odin Sphere next month.
I'm 25 and I am excited for Doom, Persona 5, FFXV, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and a few more games. Just beat Uncharted 4 over the weekend.

Good P4 normalfags need to fuck off.
I'm in love.
Those eyes are just too much.
I've seen a lot of pretty vidya girls but this one finally does it for me.
I don't even fucking care about the game, Pharah is just so fucking beautiful.
>>337112905
>>337112919
Wrong character, dipshits.
I want someone to draw an image of Pharah and Samus making out.
IT'S FROM ABOVE
Now that the Dust has settled. Are you buying it anon?
no
I'd play it if it was f2p though, or if it was $10-20 at most
Team games suck so no.
>>337111493
No
Its fun yes but its an online fps game
It gets boring fast and theres no reason for playing it
Pretty much why i avoid fps games online
Hey /v/
Lately, I've been getting into WH40k a bit. From what I've seen and read so far, the lore is amazing and I ocassionaly catch myself reading over the wiki for hours while I should be doing other things.
Now I want to get more familiar with the Warhammer 40k universe, and I was thinking about buying one of the many novels that have been released. The problem is, I have no idea where to start. There are so many books. I'm looking for a book that gives a general introduction into the WH40K universe. A book that shortly describes the different races and their history, the forces of chaos and the warp. Just something to give me some perspective into the great universe of WH40K. Anyone have any suggestions?
Go to bed, Scott.
And read the Horus Heresy novels by Dan Abnett.
>>337105812
haven't read any of the books, but play the DoW series chronologically, if you haven't already
and yeah, the wiki is stupidly addictive. never found a universe lore that sucks me in as much as GRIMDARK
also, bumping because 40k threads always trigger that one aspie who hates the EMPRAH
bumping for interest. I just recently started reading the wiki as well.
What's the scariest game you ever played?
>>337105241
I can't really saw what's the absolute scariest for me since there are aspects from the horror games that give them a unique creepiness. Like Doom 64 for example, Doom isn't really a horror game or that scary of a game as a whole, but listening to Doom 64's OST will make you paranoid and scared shitless.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6ghG072FUY
Don't have a definite answer but games with good fourth wall breaking (OneShot, Irisu Syndrome, that one visual novel, etc) can be pretty fucking spooky when done right
>>337105241
P.T. and Dreadout were the last horror games I played that gave me a jump. I liked Outlast for a bit, but it kind of fell flat for me when the reveal for the supernatural shit was "nano machines, son".
What the fuck were they thinking?
>>337105229
spotted the guy without a pork bun
about making the best GTA game in existence maybe

>1 hour
I thought it was at 2 hours from now.
>nothing on twitch
nice fake
>struggling indie devs
>decent idea
>go on patreon
>get $100 max
This is something we've seen and made fun of more times than I can count.
And then there's this:
>one dude making porn game
>patreon rises to $5000 a month in no time
>doesn't even promise features with stretchgoals
>simply says, "eh I might do it then, maybe not"
>doesn't have a clear time table either
>people still pay
How can anyone say that sex doesn't sell, when looking at this? How does that make you feel?
>>337104051
Because furries weeaboos who jerk off to cartoons have am absurd quantity of money.
>>337104051
Because its actually good. I didn't give him any money, but I followed the dev blog a bit and what he's doing is pretty damn good for a single person. Some great attention to detail.
Also: You can massage and head pat the innocent spider girl. Which is what everyone wants. Even you.
How is your space empire doing?
Stellaris thread!
>Pirates form on my homeworld and build a bunch of raider ships from converted civilian vessels
>their fleet is more powerful than my own
Pretty /comfy/. Got a nice and tidy empire with an enlightened vassal doing some expansion on their own. Got a fun 2v2 rivalry going on with my little alliance of capitalist atheist space turtles and mushrooms versus the spiritual and communist alliance of space foxes and space birds going on as well.
Unsure what to do with those new self-declared ULTRA TURTLES in my empire, but they are more adaptable than my core species so I feel the individualist way would be to let them become specialized colonizers for the trickier planets.
Should I give them a sector to prosper in?
