Forum Overview :: Games We're Looking Forward To

The complexity just doesn't seem worth it by Biggus Invictus 09/29/2022, 7:10pm PDT At least Old World had a ton of promise once you mastered the ridiculous system. Crusader Kings as a proper 4X? Nice! So far I haven't seen any promising, satisfying depth to TI to justify the ridiculous system. It almost seems like a bogged down game of Risk meets a bogged down, shallower Master of Orion space combat. I feel like they're trying to trick me into thinking it's deep because they pepper it with countless minor RNG checks that you're forced to pay attention to without adding any fun value. They just have to keep living up to the challenge: "Guess who fucked up X-COM now?"
