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

    but that's how it works in essentially every RPG, one figures out that 80% of the spells are worthless and in the end you use 4-5 of them over and over.

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

    Loot was disappointing in DOS2 as well. This game has way more variety in gameplay, and world exploration. Thus far, playing with only story characters, this game is way harder than DOS2, which was easy on hardest difficulty and lone wolf.

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

    The enemy ship combat AI feels kind of dumb/random, some weird decisions made there. Pillars of eternity 1 and likely 2 is definitely solo-able, even on hardest, but as with BG, it requires quite a bit of detailed game knowledge or will take a long time to solo. There's no "solo option" like in...

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

    another reason to use main story characters is extra exp via companion quests.

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

    Thus far the amount of text-based events seems greatly increased, with the adventure map travelling, the design of the text-event interactions in general gives a feeling similar to the Merecaster system in Tides of Numenera rather than POE1. The graphics seems in general a bit more similar to...

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

    I think Carnage is actually gonna be the first of everyone to play it, others are coming in on Saturday. probably because he's been playing through POE1 the last couple of weeks.

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

    Seems the streamer cohhcarnage is getting his hands on an early pre-release, and is gonna start streaming the full game on Friday for a full playthrough. Looks really interesting, with no more resting for spells, no two different health pools, walking around on the map, boat stronghold...

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

    I think the game was pretty good, at least the best attempt to get back to the Baldur's Gate theme of old, that people were wanting. Pause-and-play is just far superior to round-based, and if you know how to use AI, and have a strong party, smaller fights go quickly and you don't need to...

    For me it's 50% the game, then 40% if they're funny, 10% if they have a chat with good bantz and that the streamer interacts with. as for women streamers, been watching a little alarashade, playing some pretty good old school games sometimes, but often gets to be too much laughter/giggling

    Altered Carbon

    just finished watching today. it was alright, started out strong but really lost the spark at the last couple of episodes. what was the point of the lizzie character anyway? was she supposed to see the future and was that ever explained? the whole thing with his sister being another meth but...

    Bright (2017)

    dislike walls of text in the beginning of movies to explain. good movies do it without the text, introducing you seamlessly to the world... not that this was really a good movie, but some fresh ideas and at least trying on some points.

    they're putting up alternative channels just for chat like twitch.tv/agdqcantdivideusor using twitch.tv/trihex, many have been taken down.

    Twitch.tv

    Seems a lot of small time gamer streamers are getting increasingly worried about twitch 2018, with more and more competition from anime, IRL, sports, and the site just going off in every direction.

    Twitch.tv

    Agree on cohhcarnage, he's a pretty good streamer overall. but the games he plays are really hit/miss, I've basically not watched since his divinity OS2 playthrough, the games have been pretty meh. He's a good example that successful streamers have to build something like a small company around...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Finished the game, definitely seemed better than the previous original sin, although the whole magical/physical armor mechanic still seems a bit undeveloped to me. I also strongly dislike that even if my characters have immense initiative, they still can't seem to go immediately after each...

    why bother making up a whole character thing? seems like most of the big twitch people are just more or less being themselves, playing games or whatever. just making sure they have good sound equipment, computer and internet connection. it can be good money, but what people forget is that...

    Best show overall: the wire. honorable mentions to Simpsons pre season 11, rick and morty, X-files, game of thrones, seinfeld.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    2 mages with focus on summoning and then putting some on different magic schools on the side, same as in original sin 1. On the first round I usually summon up stuff and go invisible, get to a safe distance and let the summons clean stuff up. this is one of my gripes with this game, to include...

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Agree with the sentiments that this movie easily could have cut down 30-40 mins of long scenery and atmosphere set-up. Overall a 6/10.

    Rick and Morty

    Another of those fights with a bunch of weird tech weapons, like good rick vs. toxic rick, good stuff. but yeah, lame ending. Hoo wee, what a season indeed.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    for sure RPG of the year, and it definitely improved on the previous. still find the voice acting lacking, and in general I think pretty ridiculous that there is this strong drive to voice act everything in modern RPGs, when it then impacts the dialogue writing. counting the last few years...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    been trying the bone widow for a while, and it's good, but the versatility of the buffed incarnate is just the more useful at many times, with knockdowns, whirlwind, range, magic attack etc.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Playing lone wolf with 2x summoners on tactician, going pretty well thus far. once I hit lvl 4 and had 10 points in summoning it got pretty OP. Just let incarnate champion take care of things while running around hiding and summoning totems.

    It (2017)

    good movie, a pretty smart adaptation of an 80s type of story to the 2010s. it was smarter to divide it up this way in kids first, then adults rather than mixing. it relied a bit too heavily on people seeing/hearing something weird and wandering off to investigate. in the old movie the...

    It (2017)

    90% on RT with some 90 reviews seems pretty solid for a horror movie.

    Twitch.tv

    because successful streamers have realized it is actually like 90% based on personality, not game, that gives a solid, expanding subscriber base. personality comes across far better with a face cam.

    good episodes thus far, but they should really revist evil morty soon
