I don't know how much longer I can resist downloading War Thunder.  There's so many ads for World of Tanks/Warships, it makes me tempted to go for the better game.  That, and I love the Chieftan's Hatch series so much.

Isn't that a Playstation (One) game?  I mean yeah, it's pretty good, especially for the day, but.  Well, okay?

Okay, well thanks.  I see they're remaking it, and that's great. 

They're talking about doing the same for Amrored Core, and Metal Wolf Chaos, so I'm excited for those.

Thank you for being so clear, and helpful.   :roll:

So, I'm playing War Thunder now.  Which is why I'm not writing.

Congratulations Remmy.  Unless someone else submits something better, he wins the Valentine's Day Contest by default.

In 1984, Hasbro, ending 124 years of family ownership, bought out Milton Bradley. Wholly owned by Hasbro, Milton Bradley continued to turn out games that capitalized on current trends. In 1991, Hasbro acquired Milton Bradley's former arch-rival Parker Brothers. In 1998, Milton Bradley merged with Parker Brothers to form Hasbro Games. In 2009, Hasbro Games dropped both names, Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers, in favor of the parent company's name.

This is the only video game I completely cannot resist.



I own a half dozen copies, and once I begin playing, a couple of days go by quickly before I know it.  My ex hated this game, because it gave me so much more pleasure than she did.

I wish they would release an updated version with improved graphics and features.  The original game out in 2002.  A second version in 2006.  I have the Vikings option also.

As an Orthodox, I love to play the Byzantine team, and kick Rome into submission.  Not to mention those pesky Muslims.  Russia aside, we aren’t known for our military acumen.

I played fortnite with my little brother last night. I don't get it. It's so repetitive.  :roll:

But he had fun, and I love playing games with him.

Save the World, or Battle Royale?  Where there zombies (I mean, "Husks") in it, or was it on an Island with everyone trying to kill you while the storm closes in?

Save The World has a lot more variety, and humor.  You should try it, I think you'd like it!

Battle Royale.  :roll:

I honestly don't care to ever play it again. He's the only reason I would.

Strategy games are an awesome genre.

Fallout 76 introduces new problem while re-fixing old problems

This game has kinda been a disaster for Bethesda.

Review Site OpenCritic Says It'll Start Keeping Track Of Games With Loot Boxes

Quote
OpenCritic was formed in 2015 as a competitor to Metacritic with a goal of being more transparent about how it calculated its aggregated scores. Metacritic currently doesn’t flag games that have loot box mechanics. On the issue of how it decides which games to assign the loot box warnings, OpenCritic listed three criteria that must be present:

Unknown, Random Rewards. Users do not know what item they’ll receive prior to purchase. Instead, users are purchasing a chance to receive one item from a set of items.

Monetized. Users are able to purchase the roll with real money, either directly or through an intermediary currency.

Encouraged Use. Users are encouraged to acquire and consume the loot box during the course of normal gameplay or game systems.


The site tweeted in October 2017 that it planned to “take a stand against loot boxes,” back around the time the issue of monetized gambling in games was being widely debated following the release of games like Middle-earth: Shadow of War and NBA2K18. The release of Star Wars: Battlefront II a month later pushed the topic into a national spotlight, leading some state and Congressional legislators to weigh in on the issue. In the year since, Belgium’s government has forced the removal of loot boxes from games including FIFA 19 and Overwatch in its country, while many games that still have them in the United States now disclose their odds. Notably, the OpenCritic pages for Battlefront II and Shadow of War do not include the new warnings since loot boxes were eventually removed from both games following the public backlash against them.

Quote
Below is the full list of games OpenCritic has currently flagged for including loot boxes:

Apex Legends
Artifact
Call of Duty: Black Ops III
Call of Duty: WWII
Destiny 2
FIFA series
Fortnite: Battle Royale
Gears of War 4
Halo 5: Guardians
Hearthstone
Heroes of the Storm
Injustice 2
Madden series
NBA 2K series
Need for Speed Payback
Overwatch
Paladins
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
Pro Evolution Soccer series
Rocket Leagu
SMIT
The Elder Scrolls: Legend
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
Trials Rising
