Scotty and I are in a heated battle of Russia vs Germany in Sid Meier's Civilization V. I'm playing Russia, and for some reason, Scotty keeps managing to be one step ahead of me. I'm not too sure on how I'm gonna win this one.
Update: I won by miraculously earning 300 points after stockpiling nukes and unloading them on Berlin right before we hit the 2050 A.D. deadline. If I had maybe 2 or 3 extra turns, Scotty would have had the power to overpower my military and take over all of my cities. Crazy stuff.
Eleventh hour nuke power? Pretty close.
Come to think of it, the world needs more flight sims, especially of the space variety, but I haven't heard of too many games coming out that fit that description. Anyone know of any good ones out there?
Wasn't really impressed with the AC:AH demo (and I already know of it), so eh...
For atmospheric flight sims, well...Ace Combat is pretty much arcade flight sim standard; other games seem to take a lot from the older games in the series. You could try H.A.W.X.
If you're going the extra mile and actually going for the detailed flight sims, there's Microsoft Flight Simulator or Lock On: Modern Air Combat (LOMAC for short)
IL-2 Sturmovik, I think, has options that could make it either arcade flight sim or actual flight sim. But that's if you're okay with the World War II setting.
As for space flight sims, they're pretty much dead at this point. If you don't mind playing older games, there's Freespace 2 and the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series. Otherwise, the closest thing now to a modern space sim is X3, but that's a mix of economic strategy and flight sim.
Okay, what I've been doing so far:
Yakuza Dead Souls: With a power bracelet, and the best dual pistols in the game (
Ami and Mami SR Plus), Akiyama's pretty overpowered. Also, the level cap is vastly increased from Yakuza 4 (I'm at level 51, and I still haven't unlocked everything. I think the level cap in Yakuza 4 was 25.)
STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl: Been playing it with a translated version of the Russian AMK mod. Makes a hard game harder, although there's other mods that make it even more harder. Just recently enjoyed tossing corpses in a Whirligig anomaly, which grabs stuff into the air, and spins them until they get splattered into pieces.
Mass Effect 3: Still think it was a great game, up until the ending, which I'm not happy about.
Also been playing Kamidori. It's like Atelier and Fire Emblem combined.
It's also an eroge.I have to ask though: For those that played it, how is Neptunia MK2? I enjoyed the concept of the first Neptunia game, but the gameplay of the first game was put-me-to-sleep boring.
