Will do that, but I'm keeping an eye on other sites too. I bought Beyond Earth before I learned that System Requirements Lab doesn't read my PC accurately. It said I couldn't run Stellaris or Civ 6 - they both run with decent performance. It also says I can't run Endless Legend, but I might take a chance at it next time it's on sale.

I couldn't get into Civ 6. I tried a few games but was just bored with it by the medieval era. The depth of the systems in Paradox games makes the simplicity of Civilization (and its idiotic AI) less of a draw for me now.

Assassin's Creed 3 is currently available for free on Windows/uPlay, as the last game in Ubisoft's 30th anniversary promotion:

No one here took the last free key that I offered...

One of the games from the September 2016 Humble Monthly is WWE 2K16. I'm not a fan, so if you're interested, let me know below and I'll PM you the steam key. The first reply gets it.


...but it's Christmas so I'm willing to try another! If anyone's interested in trying the new Hitman, I have a free key for the starter pack (USD14.99). Just reply and I'll PM the key.

With good reason, trust me.

I got gulled by some contrarian reviewer's article saying how the game was unfairly maligned by the lamestream gaming press and then I played it and except for an okay start it was the most boring shite ever.

I'm pretty sure it was you who said "that review doesn't make any good points" back when I was pro-Order? I've kept an eye on that reviewer and another one who's also needlessly contrarian (Jed Pressgrove) and they're so annoying. They're like Zero Punctuations who can never agree with the prevailing opinion. Pick any review of theirs and there's a 50/50 chance they rail against how pathetic mainstream reviewers are for liking/not liking/not acknowledging some game. The latter thinks Bloodborne (game of games) and Uncharted 4 were among the worst games of their respective years, though based on his reviews I think he thinks this because they got good reviews more than anything else.

Yeah that was me, I was going off having watched half of a full play-through on youtube, but I seem to remember the review not addressing how ridiculously linear, QTE and cutscene heavy it was, and just went on and on about how those stupid white male reviewers just didn't get it without making any substantial arguments.

Do you have a link to that person, I'd like to read some more of their stuff for a laugh. I'm especially interested to see if they accused Witcher 3 of having a lack of people of colour.

Phew, even though he's still wrong. 30 frames per second and shooters for controllers are the biggest mistakes. Like, duh. :snicker:

I actually thought this article was pretty decent for the most part and accurately outlines some of the game's biggest flaws at their root. He's also not being a contrarian in this one, which is nice. At least he's ragging on a game that most people agree was shit.

People did actually make the point about No Man's Sky's title not being inclusive of women though.

I really wanted that weeb game in the $10 tier \o/. Good timing as I was keen on a Shantae game, supposedly the one in the bundle is the best one.
