    "• When you have aggro on an AI, that AI’s nameplate will have a bright red highlight around it. If that AI has aggro on someone else, the nameplate will appear as if the AI wasn’t targeting you."

    Cuz they're Asian. And, to make matters worse, they love to give these types of shitty costumes away for free all the time. At least in RU. And I hate the fact that the colors and textures clash horribly with the world and armors. Ya know, the whole point behind art direction. Cash shop...

    Free QA for their translations, and to keep the hype train going, since someone forgot to tell them they derailed it already.

    While releasing LA first would have been the smart move, and would likely have made a decent amount which would help offset delaying NW another 6-12 months, I seriously doubt it will make more than NW. NW gets minimum $40 from every single player (and will, I assume, charge for expansions), LA...

    Man, they really need to fire the idiot who writes these updates. "You’ll begin seeing some of these changes at the beginning of your Beta adventure, starting with the all-new Prologues. These Prologues are designed to provide insight to the background of your character’s class while speeding...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    No, it isn't. But, a collection of tribes can be a nation. Words mean what they mean and misuse does not change their meaning. I have no desire to continue arguing semantics, or linguistics. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to eat some strawberries while I resume my first viewing of Stargate...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Misuse of a word doesn't change the fucking definition. Members of the same echo chamber on the internet are not a tribe. A cult is not a tribe. A book club is not a tribe. A movement is not a tribe. FoH is not a tribe. I'm Native American, which makes me an expert on this topic. Also, you owe...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    In PoE 2 each party npc has 2 classes you can choose from, or you can choose both (multiclass) which is sometimes a special class specific to that npc. The first party member you get can be Fighter, Rogue, or both.

    It's not optimism, which is why I qualified that statement with "somewhat". ;)

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I highly doubt that. While WoT is also getting the retarded diversity treatment, at least it has an actual fleshed out story/world the writers have to stick to somewhat. With this shitshow, on the other hand, the writers have pretty much free reign to do whatever the fuck they want. And, as we...

    Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)

    The only thing that really (for me) makes the RE movies enjoyable is Alice's over the top combat skills. From the trailer, this looks pretty fucking basic and not interesting at all. And really? The guy munching on a corpse and slowly looking back over his shoulder (from the first game)? Yawn.

    Free Guy (2020)

    The Guy npc look was designed by the Free City art team. Cuckboy specifically states that he doesn't look the same but his code is the code he wrote for the "lovelorn" npc in their indie game.

    Exactly what I thought while reading about this shit. More amateur hour from AGS. But, as you said, not just them. It's fucking retarded that after over 2 decades there isn't a simple fucking standard for something so basic.

    It's something fun to do to take my mind off clownworld for a while. Plus, I kinda feel obligated, since my avatar was the result of a discussion in the Matrix thread a few years back. :P

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    Neo is the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected and thus not beyond a measure of control.

    The One's purpose is to connect to "the source" so that "the code he carries" can be reinserted. After which he has to choose the few individuals who will rebuild Zion. We can assume that the One would have to lead these people to Zion. Plus, Morpheus in the first movie knows the story of the...

    Thanks for the detailed responses. Just wanted to make sure, because I like being able to lean back and use my controller when playing these type of games. I hadn't looked too much into the game, just enough to think I might enjoy it. Love the cell shaded style, but prefer well done turn based...

    All attacks hit, there's no chance to miss. They still do a pretty bad job of explaining it, but it seems like the "card" system is just an aesthetic choice, and that there's no rng involved. Game looks good to me, although I don't really care about the Abbey/Hangout stuff. My main issue is it...

    8 episodes in a season? How many decades do they plan on running this? I don't see how this doesn't result in a ton of stuff getting cut. Even not having to deal with all the descriptive filler, the number of characters and storylines is huge, and one of the problems with the books. Just off...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    The serious answer is that the human mind is basically a collection of "programs" and human responses are quite predictable, in a narrow range. An ASI with enough data on human behavior could easily do this. This theory is best demonstrated in one particular episode of Person of Interest, which...

    Though the process has altered his consciousness, he remains irrevocably human. Not a program. Concordantly, while your question may be the most pertinent, it is also the most irrelevant.
