I got the opposite problem. I sit at the table and then get a super easy, super random game that lasts an hour and I just get irritated to waste an entire hour doing something that I feel trivial and random.
I’d rather play a 4-hour complex game but with lots of player agency rather than a 60-minute dice fest.
why is everyone praising it? they spent it all on costumes and sets, and forgot to hire an almost decent writer. the script is terrible, it’s full of nonsensical stuff and it feels copypasted from others shows. I really disliked it, and I played all the Fallouts since the 1990’s.
you’re not getting the full picture. you’re not… “playing”. you’re there and you’re living that experience first hand. you can’t possibly explain it with words. when you see the videos of those people freaking out because they’re walking a plank on top of a skyscraper, it’s not like you’re “playing” to be walking a plank… YOU ARE THERE AND THE PLANK IS UNDER YOUR FEET. to your brain, that’s as real as it can get.
it’s definitely not the same thing, at all. multi-monitor: nice, but you’re still sitting at your desk in your room.
VR: (any, even a CV1) you’re existing in a simulated world that is NOT the one you’re now. you’re comparing apples and bananas.
ah, shit. i really like his style.
they literally don’t have a monopoly since they have lots of competitors: epic, ubisoft, ea…
yyyyyeah, 57 ratings on BGG is really low.
definitely imperial steam, although very rewarding to play once understood. it’s my favorite game in collection, tied with terraforming mars.
I saw a tutorial for Voidfall yesterday and I gotta say that game wins for the most complex ruleset out there though :)
I own most of the titles in the list, and they definitely forgotten about Imperial Steam.
first of all, you gotta be a lady
then they say fish helps a lot apparently
this is the correct answer. ear fatiguing is often caused by incorrect EQ settings in your system. using too much of a high-frequency band and you’ll initially get a brighter and better sound, but you’ll soon start to get fatiguing and even headaches.
Radio songs are heavily post-produced by the radio itself, strictly limited in dynamic range and they also have a mastering EQ that provides a bass boost.
I’d suggest OP to check their EQ settings and aim for a more neutral sound.
this one looks great!
oh man! I really played this game a lot back when it was released!
it’s definitely outside of your scope, but since when I discovered boardgaming (specifically german boardgames - which are actually not made in germany, it’s just the name of the genre) I got severely hooked into that. these are mainly no-luck deterministic games where you compete with your opponents through strategy and tactics. my favourites are Imperial Steam and Caylus, but you can also start from Terraforming Mars for a more easier rules overhead :)
sooo… they’re charging 30$ to fix their own game?
anyways Terraforming Mars hardly lasts more than 3 hours. I’ve had games at it that lasted 1h45’. It needs that everybody prepare their turn on other player’s turns, and when it’s up to you, you just execute what you planned.
