I played the demo a few days ago and quickly bought the full game. I've always liked the idea of these logistics titles but they often seem to require a lot of up-front learning which puts me off. Factorio however does a great job of spacing out gameplay systems; I've been hooked from the start and am slowly expanding my understanding as I work through the tech tree. Just observing the map and planning out the base is oddly satisfying.

@ravelle: Are you sure you had to beat them all on regular? In my game, I beat the first four W1 bosses on regular but had trouble with the flower, so I beat that on simple and he let me through. Then I beat all the W2 bosses on simple and King Dice let me into W3.

I'm currently working back through them all on regular so I can access the final boss.

@ravelle: While you don't get contracts for beating bosses on simple, that only cuts off the very end of the game. You can still access worlds 2 and 3 by playing the easier difficulty.

The characters revealed so far look great, I just hope they don't lean much into the Super material and keep it 'Z'. I know Frieza has his golden transformation, but I'm wondering if there'll be dedicated characters from the new series.

To be honest, so long as they cover the Hyper Dimension roster (plus maybe future Trunks) I'd be happy; that's the core relevant DBZ fighting cast for me.

@xanadu: Can't have anyone taking the spotlight from Goku! But yeah, it's ridiculous how much of a joke Gohan became after Cell saga.

This is spot on. The Hitman love is mainly from Dan and Brad, while The Witness was enjoyed by more members of staff. Given that Brad and Jeff didn't stick with Overwatch beyond release I'm pretty confident DOOM will take the top spot. Less certain is what the bottom 5 of the list will be.

Same, wondering if there's a Giant Bomb server about?

You can also play vs AI matches if you're getting used to a new hero. Overwatch is designed to be accessible, I think you'll do ok.

Good stuff man! Very nice cosplay, looks like you got to meet a lot of cool people as well.

@aethelred: Splendid.
