Happy new year guys!๐Ÿ˜€ Just now, it hit midnight here, and it's officially 2025. I was playing Pennon and Battle, and I realized it's the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I'm curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?

I think if they ever made a Pillars 3, they'd come up with a new system so that RTwP and turn-based aren't two different versions of the same game. Or at least, if they were able to start a Pillars 3 right after Pillars 2, that seemed to be a direction that made sense for them. I like action points in theory, but they tend to lead to fights being very static, because attacking twice is basically always better than moving and attacking in the same turn, so when you always have a movement every turn, it keeps things more interesting to me. I'm definitely bothered by trash mobs, but Pillars 2 turned that knob way down compared to Pillars 1. Maybe the turn-based version of the game would have been improved by another slight reduction on that knob, but I still loved it.
