I really enjoyed BL1 and 2. When BL3 released my best friend and I co-op'd the campaign for a couple days until our interest fizzled out and it just kinda faded away. I'm confident that we weren't too far from completing it, but the game was boring. In fact, I can't remember anything about it.

Out of curiosity I fired this up again again yesterday and it's still gay. Also, here's the balance adjustments coming in the near future. Notes: With great power there must also come great responsibility... and sometimes, a little bit of nerfing. Let's check out what's new in this heroic...

The things that some people dislike but others love is interesting. I've only played BG3 to completion, once, but I explored EVERY nook and cranny I could find because I rarely (if ever) re-play RPGs due to how much time I spend with them the first run. When developers say that their game takes...

Owlcat has had enough success over the last 5 years that they're no longer just a development studio; they're also a publisher with half a dozen irons in the fire. Last I read, they had 1 or 2 "smaller" projects in the works and 2 standard full-size games being developed in-house. I don't have a...

I forgot to post why I had originally come to the thread. S2 of Andor is some of the best SW content that has been filmed in the last 20 years. Probably longer. It has its issues, but it's very, very good.

I was interested in this but the trailer alone killed it for me.

Completely agree. I'm a HUGE sucker for period shows and a pirate-based period show is effectively heroin for me. I don't think you need to be a fan of either genre to enjoy the series.

Apart from the seniorita being a "wood" and the set design, this show has lost 99.95% of its appeal. "Ellie" is one of the most unlikable protagonists I've seen in a long time. Her ultra-punchable, downy face doesn't help either.

I haven't read the books, but I have a love/hate relationship with the show. There were A LOT of things I really enjoyed and looked forward to every episode but there were nearly as many things that annoyed me and felt poorly executed. The infuriating part is that I can't put my finger on a...

I genuinely don't know how I feel about this. Society, culture, language, and mannerisms on 'real' Earth are significantly different than what they were just 200 years ago. It's likely that such elements would be completely unrecognizable if their source was light years away and hundreds of...

This is the ending I got.

Midjourney and the other AI art tools are a godsend for bringing the DM's (and player's) vision to life. A lot of people argue that theater of the mind is the best way to play the game, but I couldn't disagree more. I prefer it when the DM/players are able to definitively show me what they have...

Despite having nearly 100 pre-written hardback adventures, I have never run a single one. Though a couple of the 3rd party campaigns are absolutely fantastic and significantly better than anything I could have ever come up with. That said, I have read many of them and mine them for ideas to add...

The official rules haven't influenced my games for 5+ years, but the symbolic destruction of what D&D was isn't just about the rules. D&D is an IP that I have a very deep love for and seeing it wither is extremely painful. Furthermore, I'm not just a player -- I'm also an avid collector, but I...

Both Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford are leaving WotC. Those two were really the last bastion that D&D had going for it and that isn't saying much, at all. The IP is going down in roaring flames and all they have left is turbo-woke, mentally-ill idiots like Makenzie De Armas and she doesn't...

Some of the fan-created modules/campaigns are getting finished up and several of them are nearly the same quality as the base game. Voice acting/animation aside. There are a couple that are extraordinarily massive endeavors that won't be finished for another 6+ months, but what's available now...

I've played games with my keyboard in my lap for my entire life. I hate using it on the desk so much that if it was the only option I probably wouldn't use it at all.

I still play this a couple times a week, but I spend 98% of my time soloing. My character has existed since the game released and been max level forever, but I have yet to TR a single time. I almost wear it like a badge of honor because I routinely keep up with or even outperform people with...

I knew absolutely nothing about this game two days ago, but I have it installed and ready to give it a shot when it unlocks.

You're correct. There's no official post-20 content for 5e.

I really have no idea, but I was never able to get into RIFTS. I've primarily stuck to D&D. Though I also played a bit of Shadowrun, a little Vampire/Werewolf, a smidge of GURPS, and a handful of games with an old Marvel Heroes RPG that I can't even name. I'm really just a one trick pony when...

I don't keep up with this thread, but I wanted to pop in and say - That quote is mine, but it was framed as a question. I don't have any experience with this type of game and I was asking questions from a completely novice perspective. Edit - Just realized that the relevant part of this...

5.24 is technically backwards compatible, but it's a bit annoying. It's a lot like going from 3.0 to 3.5. The rules are largely the same, but there are pinch points that don't work well with each other. Largely, I like what they've done with many of the rules in 5.24, but 90% of the art I have...

I have a TUF 3080 and will end up replacing it with with a 5080 or 90, but the primary reason is that I was an early adopter and my card only has 10 VRAM.

The gameplay doesn't move the needle for me, at all. Everything looks generic and wooden. There are also little things that scream rushed or changed mid-creation. It's also clear that the dialogue and narrative are going to be lame and forgettable. At least now I can stop holding on to my...

Indeed. The fun and compelling part was when the ninja was doing ninja things. Major missed opportunity.

I have absolutely zero problem admitting when I am wrong. If the trailer was just an incredibly stupid marketing attempt and the game is actually good I'll be the first to eat a whole slice of humble pie while scraping egg off my face... ...But I don't think it's going to happen

I just watched the Ubisoft stream and this game was showcased. I have to admit that it looks interesting. It could still be shit, but I saw enough that I would have wanted to play it were it not for Mary Sue. It's such a shame they decided to put a masculine girl boss in the lead role. I wish...

I just watched the gameplay on the Ubisoft stream and the game has a lot of incredible elements. I firmly the believe the game would have been extremely well-received had the nog been a Japanese man and even more well-received had they both been men that share an honor-bound brotherhood. Or, at...

It's not something that's easily described, but we all know it when we see it. I feel the exact same way about D&D games. It's difficult for me to pin down the exact details regarding what makes a good D&D (PC) game good without coming off like I'm trying to dodge the question. However, in an...

I played the absolute shit out of Painkiller back in the day. Loved that game.

It does have a brand, but the execution has failed on multiple occassions. The same way that D&D has a brand, but has failed to produce on many, many occasions. There have literally been dozens of D&D games developed, but only a handful have successfully captured the essence of the brand. The...

Ah, yes. I was exclusively referring to within the game and the characters, but you're absolutely correct that the DEI component of the development team is responsible for this 'gem.'

The DEI garbage isn't even the most egregious problem with this game. The art and story direction are so far off base that if I didn't already know this was DA I could easily be convinced it was an entirely different game from a completely different genre. DA has a brand; a brand that has been...

I'm not offering anything of worth to the thread. I just wanted to shout into the void about how much I absolutely despise that hyper-feminine, squishy, limp-wristed, balding, Jewish faggot Jason Schreier.

Glad to see that the trailer is getting absolutely ratio'd into oblivion. I can't wait until the layoffs start and/or the studio closes. Am I a villain? Maybe, but fuck you, you created me.

Is it heresy that I have never played this game, any of the Dark Souls series, nor Bloodborne? I really wish I understood why these games don't grab me and suck me in like they do a lot of people because I can see that they're objectively fantastic games. The only conclusion I can come to is...

Is Doom Eternal worth buying? I've seen many complain that it's too 'whack-a-mole' and massively detracts from the gameplay.

I watched the Microsoft showcase and tried to judge each game without my own (admitted) biases and a couple of the games with female leads looked 'ok.' They just weren't games I would be interested in under any circumstance, but I can see them appealing to others. However, all of the games with...
