Got 'Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom' and it is an amazing game! For anyone who grew up with Hayao Miyazaki films, the game is structured just like one of his epic fantasy stories. Studio Ghibli wasn't involved in the creation of the game, but a bunch of people that have worked with Studio Ghibli have contributed some pretty amazing elements to it.

The game itself is like a cross between an action RPG, pre-set town builder, and mini army creator. As you build your castle and complete quests, you recruit characters from other nations, to improve your kingdom, and expand your nations army. You should be able to pick up the game on sale for around 30 bucks or less.
If you're a dark souls masochist, you can set the difficulty to very hard and enjoy slowly plodding through the game.

I've seen some people here mentioning Rome 2 and they are probably perfectly aware of this, but just in case; there is a mod called "Divide et Impera" which is a total conversion that turns the game into what it should have been from the beginning. Design, factions, mechanic - all redone and made historicaly authentic as much as possible. Basicaly the Rome 2 we wanted and deserved. I've been playing the tw series since the first title Shogun and I gotta say it's one of the best mods ever made by the community.
I hated the mechanics they introduced with Shogun 2. Rome 2 is better than Shogun 2, but not as good as the original Rome TW or TW Medieval. I haven't played Rome 2 in so long I forgot mods are available.
Oh okay. I actualy really enjoy Shogun 2 but then again I'm a sucker for medieval themed Japan. I def prefer it over vanilla Rome 2. Despite all the patches, fixes and dlcs it still feels like a very dull game with a pretty makeup. Like the combat is incredibly dull and too fast for me. Only recently they introduced family trees, a feature that should have been part of it from the very beginning.
I highly recommend you try Divide et Impera. It turns the game into an 'actual' Rome 2. You'll feel right back at home.
If you also happen to have Attila, there is a great medieval mod in the making called 'Medieval Kingdoms Total War'. Currently it's only custom battles but there are plenty of factions already done, incredibly historicaly authentic, and they are working on a campaign. It looks great ! I'd keep my eye on that one.

Jumping on my last post regarding Destiny 2 base game being free.. You can pick it up still from battle.net for one more day.. But also, the Forsaken expansion is on sale this weekend.
Played PUBG last night for the first time in a few months. I'm still scratching my head why they would push the XBOX game to full release when they still have alot of bugs to fix.

BO 4 Blackout is lots of fun, and so very frustrating too...but in a good way. I feel like I'm doing great...then...Bam...reality and I'm down.
I've never felt so attached to an animal like I did my horse.
Here come the sheep jokes.
So can you confirm shrinking horse balls feature ? ^^
Mine are fine, as always?
Ha yes I knew, I was just being a dickhead. There is so much detail in this game that tbh, the horse balls are the last things I'm looking at.
Lol what the fuck 
First time for everything, I guess.
