Rogue Trader huh. Cool.

I own it already. But glad more people will get to try it.

 

[Punished Miku]

Avowed makes it a good two weeks obviously, but I'll try Rogue Trader. I hear people hype up Owlcat but I've never tried their games.

I already grabbed the 4 Naruto movies. Will probably never watch it though.

 

[HRK69]

Rogue Trader is great, a bit more complicated than Baldur's Gate 3 lol

I had a lot of issues starting up my initial play through

Bugs or something else? I played only a couple of hours and it felt fine.

This is me. In my backlog though. So I wouldn't have benefitted either way

 

[adamsapple]

F1 is nice for people who like story modes in their racing games.

Legion is good to average, you can completely break the game by playing as the characters who have access to the heavy duty drones (you can basically drone yourself directly to objective points and avoid all fights).

Haven't played Rogue Trader, will give it a look.

 

[TBiddy]

I've looked at Rogue Trader many times, but I already know that I will never complete it, so I'm going to pass. Will try F1 though.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I had a few missions left to finish Farcry New Dawn. I'm good. don't need to save those hostages with a countdown timer.
Avowed finally open to regular plain ole dayone gamepass subscribers.

edit-quick review of Farcry New Dawn. It was ok, I payed 20 hours and ran around the map turning scavaging icons into green checkmarks. If you like Farcry it's more Farcry.
Use the bow and arrow, you won't run out of ammo as much and you can spend your perks on things you will only use once in a mission critical stuff.

 

[Certinty]

Thanks for reminding me that Watch Dogs Legion exists, what an awful awful game.

 

[struggler_guts]

Definitely play rogue trader if you like owlcat games

 

[Topher]

Nice. Been wanting to try out Rogue Trader.

 

[HRK69]

Bugs or something else? I played only a couple of hours and it felt fine.

Nope, just me speed-running through the tutorial area like I always do! Eventually, I restarted, chose a pre-made character, and decided to slow down and take my time. Thankfully, no technical issues as far as I can tell!

 

[pudel]

Thanks for reminding me that Watch Dogs Legion exists, what an awful awful game.

Its okay. I liked all Watch Dogs games....mainly because of the gameplay with all of these technical gadgets in an open world. There is not many other games offering this. Ofc storywise WD2 and WD3 are very cringe with these hipster punks. Its Ubisoft after all....what can you do.

Rogue Trader I still need to play...but when I do they will get my money directly (through gog).

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Thanks for reminding me that Watch Dogs Legion exists, what an awful awful game.

Couldn't agree more. Absolute pile of dung.

What a waste of a brilliant map.

 

[MMaRsu]

eww

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

Avowed seals the deal for this month,

Already own and finished Watch Dogs Legion, it's not bad, the first game was the best in the series but there's some fun in Legion.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Atomfall PC preload is available. It's one of those 10MB placeholder things. But for me it's a way to keep track of stuff I want to play in the future.

 

[Vlodril]

Rogue trader is fantastic. Up there as a top crpg. Especially so if you like Warhammer 40k of course but even so. Great writing. They nailed the setting.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Cool, almost bought Rogue Trader a few weeks ago. Will check it out after Avowed.

 

[Sooner]

I, too, can rent these super exciting games for only $240 every year??

I feel like a thief. Take me in officer.

You come into this thread with this take the day a $70 first party game is launching on the service.
