Man. This chivalry medieval warfare game is epic
I've seen some gameplay videos, and unless I'm really missing something, it didn't seem that impressive. It basically comes across as a low-budget FPS game without guns. From what I understand, it also suffers from some pretty poor balancing, with the Vanguard being vastly superior to every other class.
Edit to add:
Heh, I figure I may as well talk a bit about my own recent gaming adventures.
Back in December, I found the on-board speakers on my 3DS had crapped out somehow. No clue what happened--I left a game in sleep mode overnight, came back the next day, no sound. Sound still functioned with headphones, but not the speakers, and since I'm often watching TV or on the computer while playing, I rather dislike using headphones. Luckily, Nintendo's customer service is amazing. They sent me a shipping label, I sent them the system, and I recently got it back with new speakers and a new main circuit board, and it's working great now--if anything, the sound quality is better than when it was new. As a bonus, any factory repair job done by Nintendo resets your warranty, so I'm covered for another year. Seriously, Nintendo just can't be beat when it comes to customer service. Plus, the whole thing didn't cost me a dime.
I've also been working through some of the games I picked up during the Steam holiday sale. I beat Batman: Arkham Asylum, and have started up Arkham City. I'm rather enjoying the series. Also picked up and been playing Tropico 4 off and on--I love management style games, and the game has some great humor to it.
I also picked up the Gods & Kings expansion for Civilization V. At the moment, I'm mostly trying to just grasp all the new additions and changes rather than seriously play. It adds so much that can really change how you go about handling things.
