    Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

    I'm only through chapter 1, but damn this already has written "masterpiece" all over it. A real improvement over V's lackluster SinglePlayer.

    Re: Star Citizen / Squadron 42

    They should've set realistic goals for their first game as a studio and then go from there. This thing has so many useless stuff that's only interesting the first few times.

    Re: Imperator: Rome - new Paradox title

    Stellaris has it's 3 year anniversary this weekend (with deals), and I'm still waiting for a meaningful trade/diplomacy system. One year is being generous.

    I think societal collapse is more realistic than extinction.

    It will probably be more gradual, with states on the periphery (like Pakistan) collapsing first, increasing the number of "failed...
