voicing would be the issue currenty. till we get more deepfaking. Starsector is fun for this. it actually does do this. Char creation you can choose honorific. (older versions were amusing, since it was based on portrait expressly. and many of them are fully helmeted. people would pick the...

They have been struggling for a while. iffy games, lots of bad business deals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsidian_Entertainment trouble started with getting shafted by THQ and south park:stick of truth. THQ going bankrupt screwed them. Famously didnt get a bonus for fallout:new...

just eat the bugs guys, its the decent thing to do.

pillars has 4 kinds of humans, 2 elves, orlans, which are furry halflings. 2 dwarves. 2 Aumaua, which are scaly human/fishmen. coastal Aumaua are blue fishmen, island aumaua are brown fishmen. godlikes are humans cursed/blessed at birth by specific gods of the world, to act as...

pretty meh movie. works better if you imagine this is a world in 40k being overrun by Slaanesh and tzeetch. The pain, art, decadence, mutations, etc... A darker undercurrent of something terrible coming to a head from this weirdness adds to the movie.

the outer worlds is on gamepass. I paused my wrath of the righteous 2nd play to check it out. Avowed seemed to have made some odd choices. copying TES combat first off. the combat is like the worst aspect of TES Games. why copy that? at the same time, doing so, puts expectations on...

The differences are big enough to justify calling it a new game. pretty major engine updates. lighting/textures/etc. campaign, classes, etc. Massive animation upgrades. movement baked into skills. (something I've though PoE could really use) Every class seems to be doing a dash in the...

you have to be careful though. there is the "immersion" factor as well. Space is big, and lonely. if you compact it too much, too carelessly, it stops being space. starsector again. core worlds are busy with traffic. get outside the core worlds and theres little traffic. rarely do you see...

Captain, another planet needs our help!

i mean, have you played chorus, everspace, star citizen? everspace is basically privateer. you play house of the dying sun? didnt play this one personally. I watched a stream. this has one of the best final missions of any game ever. not going to to spoil it. but haha. holy shit.

everspace 2 is on gamepass for anyone that wants to try it out. its more like Rebel galaxy if you've played that. but with more sticking to fighters, not broad side capitals like Rebel galaxy gets up to. I did actually really enjoy Rebel galaxy, but never played its sequel/prequel, Rebel...

its on gamepass. I got bored with it very quick. ships and weapons all too similar. it tried to make some ship bombers, etc. but eh. the on rails nature of the missions. meh. got repetitive quick. Lack of enemy variation was a major issue as well. tuco, you play Empyrion? ship...

When you say mid, or others giving various 7/10 ratings, etc. what exactly are you comparing it to? PoE, Grim dawn, Last epoch, lost ark, etc? or, games in general? or d2 and 3 specifically? or, some theoretical arpg that should exist?

yeah. its hard to pin point. I think there was a newness, uniqueness to them back in the day. But now, they are just so repetitive. one aspect is the magic as I was noting. sci-fi space weapons tend to be so very the same. Magic lets them be creative in gameplay. you'd think "tech...

I think alot of people here are forgetting 90% of people working in hollywood/comics/animation are radically leftist cultural vandals. It used to be just gay, bi, trans people projecting onto older characters, insisting characters that weren't blatantly overtly cis, straight are secretly gay...

Heres that IGN interview. this is cohh watching, the interview and reacting.. didn't see the original source after a quick look. Its where the 30fps locked comment is from. There's a few other interesting topics though. The guy askes about NMS and mass effect comparisons as one point...

not proof of anything but.... Phil was wearing a hexen teeshirt in his presentation.. in this Starfield direct, the interviewer asked Todd about any help from IdTech they recieved, and... what games IDtech might be working on.. declined to spoil what project they were working on, but did talk...

I was going to make a post on how a lack of "magic" was going to effect sales. Will have to re-review the videos on combat etc. try to nail down what exactly is available. Biotics, tk, psychic powers. even hacking, drones, "summons", other tech based magic. I dont think we saw drones in...

outpost system. can see in the UI. "build limit". no number, but just a visual bar it seems. cargo, crew, needed power, total power production /min. "assign crew and companions to work in them." I wonder how much automation this is. proper colony building, or just another game with "crew"...

An article with some sobering details. https://www.pcgamer.com/avowed-rpg-obsidian-preview-magic-interview/ Exclusive: Avowed started as Obsidian's Skyrim, but evolved to focus on depth over breadth, 'where Obsidian really shines' they repeatedly go on about how companions are very...

lol. yeah. that 1000yard star, odd head bob, and mouth moving out of sinc with the head. I almost have to think it was intentional to remind every one this is TES people. All this NMS comparisons seems weak to me. NMS is pretty empty. I expect TES npc interactions. like fallout and skyrim...

bump. day 1 gamepass. 2024 release date announced.

Bethesda/xbox coming out strong. fu, have some games! and day one gamepass!

eh.. every game is going to have this issue with everyone leaning on the same top 2-3 builds. A strategies. It's basically impossible to eliminate it. you can help by having radically different playstyles involved. so each playstyle might have 2-3. the constant league resets is one way...

subclasses in poe do have the same problem, and were a mistake. They do reduce build options.

yeah. so much of whats talked about here applies to what went wrong with Path of Exile too.

I can't believe people keep eating this up. What does blizzard got to do to stop you from going back to that trough? But still, reading threads, checking a few vids, while not spending cash, and also avoiding streams etc, to not encourage this shit.. in order to get some ideas on the...

really hard to say, few companies have done a good job going from d20 adaptations, to their OWN unique systems well. they are also going from RTWP, to RTWP/Turn based, to tactical grid ala xcom/wasteland...

I think we all joked about PoE2 taking exactly as long as it takes to make D4+1 day. So yesterday it seems, GGG put the pathofexile2 domain name into use, to promote exilecon, and other poe2 info. Speculation for summergames fest teaser, with exilecon being full reveal...

Time for coffee derail?! yeah, euro weirdo's use electric tea kettles. basically the same tech as a coffee maker. water basin, with electric heating element directly in the water. more efficient then propane or stovetop burner, which wastes alot of heat. Microwave is just as or more...

I think it was more the other way around. there were a ton of people that were still, "its still good, its still good" until s8 hit. then they had to admit its bad, and that woke them up, to look back and admit it had been bad for a while.

compare summer to summer, and awesome to awesome. Also, go back further. Back to before the cult took over completely. Engagement is way down, but donations seems pretty static at 3m. clearly 90% of the donations are from corporations.

huh. wasn't much talk about this. I'm getting to it now. its on amazon prime. My initial response was pretty low. Tilda's character start off pretty unrelatable or likeable. She and her character really drag the whole thing down. The movie really shines with the djinn and his stories of the...

lets see. wotr. first beta was feb 2 21. second beta was may 5th 21, with release sept 2 21. theres also been a ton of post release patching, enhanced edition, etc as well. Wotr has insane replay, something the thread doesn't comment enough on. so, this could potentially have play on...

yeah, on some level thats to be expected from that author.. in general though. treating Carmilla as a major threat is to be expected. honestly, the show does a great job making her a proper character and threat for the most part. while in the games, its more shes just there.. over and over and...

yeah, poor management it seems. chasing 20 different trends at once. No unified vision. asking for one thing to be added, then 2 weeks later, asking for something completely different to be added. sounds about right.

I always find it fascinating how they are just so singularly focused on movies. rich knows games/comics/cartoons. but Mike and Jay know nothing about them at all. "lets talk Death metal". "whats Metalocalypse?"

I started this. And finding way more misses then hits with comedy. The kids in the hall reboot killed it.. this isn't. I should note, rereading this thread.. I, too, got the netflix thing. I realize it started me on season 3. I'll have to go back and see if S1 is actually funny.

yeah. wotr is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites. I started a secondplaythrough. evil kineticist.. but couldnt really get into being evil. so didn't even make it out of shield maze.. but started a shadow shaman Angel, and am now at the end of act 3. 477 hours in Wotr so far...
