What's the general consensus on Wasteland 2? I got to Highpool then deleted it so that I could install Shadows of Mordor. Not really sure if I can be bothered reinstalling it later...

That is the license for commercial use, and if you need it for work, it's really not smart to torrent it.

A non commercial license is around 130€.

In Asylum you would constantly see areas that you can't get to because you need the required gear and it made you want to explore the world, that rarely happened in the other games. I don't really rate the story in any of the Arkham games but Asylum's definitely fits the gameplay more than the others as well.

I preferred Asylum for the exact reasons you say. The linear path just fit the gameplay really well

Dont know about WL2 but Divinity Original Sin is simply an amazing game, perhaps the best game I have played in the last 5 years imo. Though I suffer from horrible recency bias when rating games.

Sadly I've not had much luck with those two games. I played DOS for a few hours but I found the controls/camera really annoying.

WL2 I couldn't get to run, it always seems to crash on load-up, when I'm creating a character, or when I try to start the game.

I'm going to keep plugging away at them both though as they've got good reviews and definitely seem to be the type of game I really enjoy.

Get the enhanced steam extension and just use the steam website, so much better/easier.

Anyone with recommendations for good board games on steam? I'm thinking about buying Ticket to Ride to play with friends and I am wondering what else is out there. Tragic that Dominion isn't on steam- seems like it would print money.

Can't speak for Steam but Ticket to Ride is fantastic on iOS. I've also enjoyed Neuroshima Hex, Le Havre, and Tigris & Euphrates and would recommend them in that order. My current favorite board game is Star Realms, which is a deck builder like Dominion but with a sci-fi theme and a different feel than Dominion. It's $5 to unlock it across all devices and OS's.

FYI they moved this up by 2 days. Now available on October 16th not October 18th... Seems like a shady move to push the date up.

Why would it be shady? They met the 1.5M heisters goal early, so they wanted to reward everyone early.

yeah. It's not as good as the batman games. Doesn't really take full advantage of the lotr setting either.

It's fun for a while and you should enjoy running through the campaign but it's not anything special and won't keep your attention for long.
