Actually, my girlfriend loves this game, and she hasn't had much experience with Magic. Yes, it stinks that you can't customize decks ... but, it lowers the barrier of entry without destroying the game.
I bought the 1st expansion ... not bad - it's got a mini-campaign, three new decks, and some more of those fun challenges. It's definitely been worth the price of purchase for the amount of use it's gotten.
Bah. I still have my Duels of the Planeswalkers by Microprose from '94. It took some tweaking to get to run on a modern machine but it's still the best MtG game out there.
Just wish there were more cards for it. Like Stangg. #magic
Of course it's Chaos, and not Guard, or Tau, or Necrons. I've been waiting for an expansion for eva! and I'm all disapointed now. How hard is it to slap some skins on Marines and call them Chaos? "Not very" is all I'm saying. I'll hold my tongue further until we see some video action. It's Warhammer, I'm sure I'll still buy it. #preview
Sounds worthy of being called an expansion anyway. I would have liked to see another new playable race though, There's so many to draw from in the 40k universe.
Actually, what's really needed is a complete RTS game with all races and units using 40k ruleset, now that I would pay $60 for. #preview
@-MasterDex-: Check out Firestorm [forums.relicnews.com]
It pretty much adds all the extra unites, gives it TT rules and balances the races to the tabletop. Its probably the best DOW1 mod out there. #preview
@-MasterDex-: I'd pay 100$ (dead serious) for a turn-based, all codex rules followed by the letter game. I still play Chaos Gate every now and then. #preview
@Eric Alebeard McAxendorf Robertson: Thanks for the link. I never delved into the DoW mod scene when I was playing it. I might reinstall it and check that out. Still, it ain't complete 40k rules though, is it? I think my rulebook is around somewhere....hmmmmm. #preview
More brutal then Tyranids? Nonsense! The twisted powers of the Warp are naught but another feeble barrier between it's minions and a Tyranid's stomach.
Slaanesh? Khorne? Nurgle?
Taste like chicken.
They're better off hidding in the Warp where they belong. Maybe they can rule over the barren husk of the galaxy when the Tyranids are finished and have moved on to the next galaxy. #preview
Woot. Call me nuts but I play DoW2 just for the single player campaign so more of it has me PUMPED. I was worried any expansions was just going to be multiplayer side. Yay Relic! #preview
Ok, I can accept that the possibilities are limited, but come on: the Eiffel Tower in the middle of nowhere? Even Flight Simulator 4 had more buildings. #thesims3worldadventures
That "Alice and Kev" thing you linked was extraordinary. I've never played a Sims game in my life and I found that story riveting. They should adapt that into that ill-conceived Sims movie they're talking about making.
Well! It is a good game. I enjoyed myself most of the time. I leveled to 60 and explored most of Moria, but I've reached a point where it seems as though I've experienced everything and the combat and "item grind" just isn't a robust enough system for me. In a lot of ways, the game was too easy/boring and I didn't feel like I was accomplishing anything besides following the tracks of the class.
I've moved on to Aion. I want a more PVP focused game and I want a larger playerbase. I want a more satisfying grind where there is a good balance between skill (choices in combat) and time commitment (how amazing your gear is). I want more customization (my dude looks uniquely badass as opposed to EXACTLY LIKE EVERY OTHER ELF). Oh, and I want wings. Everything else just feels dated now.
After saying all that, I still stick by my original statement that LOTRO is a good game. If you love Lord of the Rings, you should give it a shot.
@JibbyJam: Agreed. Now it just feels like they're kicking off a microtransaction system with this adventurer's pack. A way to get sweet loot without playing, you just buy it.
@Monkey Bars: Damn I love that goat. Turns out acquiring that goat was my biggest objective. Now that I have the goat I think it's safe to say that I'm awesome.
And once you're awesome, why bother even playing anymore. Right!?
As for the Adventurer's Pack: I really don't like the idea of someone getting a goat after I grinded for it, simply because they were willing to shell some cash. So yea, it seems like they are starting something horrible. But I don't really think they are going to do a bunch of them a la DDO. I think they want us to pay for the server space because it costs money. Maybe.

Glad to see there are more expansions on the way!

Because this is what is apparently needed to describe Paris:
- the Eiffel Tower,
- a Vespa, which is ironically Italian, zooming into no traffic at all,
- cafés on a street aligned right next to each other,
- being in an almost-desert part of the country with no buildings whatsoever.

It's truly extraordinary that the story is just from playing the Sims 3 as well.
