    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    The trailer erased the 1-2% hope I had that this might be palatable. As predicted, this game is going to be another massive financial flop.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    I didn't play the last one, but this looks fun and it's hard to woke-up killing demons.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    When a discussion derails, it usually peters out after a page or two. 3, at most. Regardless, it's not like the discussion was totally in left field. It's at least somewhat relevant to talk about why this game (and others) is going to suck. I don't really care either way. I just never...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Why the fuck does a mod stick their nose in here to direct the conversation where everyone is actively engaging in the discussion? Seriously, what's the point?

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I firmly believe that DEI is part of why gaming development budgets have ballooned and quality has cratered. Here's why - When you're forced to hire ~20%-30% (or more) nogs, women, and they/thems despite not having the appropriate credentials you have to hire people that can actually do the job...

    The D&D thread

    Like I said, it's effectively D&D 5e: Houserules Edition. Anyway, I have the PDF for anyone interested. The file is not quite 4 megs, but it's too big to upload in a forum post.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I am truly speechless at how these companies continue to set hundreds of millions of dollars on fire. I just can't come to ANY conclusion that makes ANY sense. It's not like they don't have dozens of examples to learn from. Between movies, streaming, gaming, etc. they have watched billions...

    The D&D thread

    The classes have a lot more built-in reactions, etc. so you're highly unlikely to end up wasting points round to round - but it can happen.

    The D&D thread

    For several years now I've been using a system that allows martials to spend Hit Dice to power combat maneuvers. Kinda like Battlemaster Fighters, but much more robust.

    The D&D thread

    In 100% transparency, I haven't read his entire ruleset, but what I have read looks like he's done something similar to what I've done in that he's collected a ton of optional content and codified it into his own d20 system. It still looks and feels like D&D, but thus far it appears to be a...

    The D&D thread

    I've been a long-time fan of the Dungeon Coach and his channel. I have his original houserules hardback (which I mined for quite a few great ideas) and plan to buy the new book, but I'm 99% sure I'm not going to replace my massively expanded 5e system with DC20. Stock 5e is just too simple...

    Good for her. Glad to see she's putting her "boss bitch" foot down. Because that approach has always worked out well for the dumb cunts that practice it. Virtue-signaling your way into financial ruin isn't specific to just women, but they top the charts.

    I'm super bad about this. I have a massive Steam library and the vast majority of the games I purchase are widely considered good/amazing, but I haven't even installed most of them, much less played them. Last year I started trying to systematically play through them and it's worked to a...

    D. The asshole with feminine energy making a faux poll about said shitty/woke game.

    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    First, I gave you a bit of credit before, justifiably, butt-fucking you. Second, it absolutely does not matter if Samurai Floyd could have been a legitimate historical figure and that's what you're missing. You seem to be patently incapable of understanding why choosing him over the plethora of...

    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    Why? You seem to....almost...be there in terms of getting to the fundamentals of why all of this is trash. Even if Yasuke is portrayed as historically accurate, he's far better suited as an NPC for DLC or in a side-quest. Not shoehorned in as the main character because he checks some DEI boxes...

    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    Anyone that buys this game is a weak, limp-wristed, mentally-ill, cuck faggot. I don't care why you're buying it; I stand by my words. Even if you're neck-deep into supporting the agenda (please die), you should avoid buying the game simply because the pricing model is cancer.

    I'll take you up on it on with the exception that if he isn't patently gay, he's objectively LGBTQLMNOP123.

    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    Some additional leaks about the game are suggesting that not only is the 'star' character a Wakandan, he's also a faggot.

    The Division 2

    Yesterday, I reinstalled it because of this thread and played for a couple of hours. I didn't find it compelling, at all. However, to be fair, I don't have the Warlords expansion but even if it's great I don't think it would change the core gameplay.

    Rajaah, I've avoided dunking on you in the past because you have always seemed genuinely stupid instead of malicious. That said, goddamn you're an idiot.

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    I didn't know much about the first one, but I did thoroughly enjoy it. However, if I play the second one it'll be pirated. I'm not giving money to companies that pander to the mentally-ill.

    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    I'd love to see this game forced to go through massive revisions due to the epic levels of anger it's creating, but there's only a .00000000001% chance that happens. Hopefully, people vote with their wallets and this ends up a massive financial failure. Otherwise, it's just noise and people...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    It wasn't, but why isn't particularly important. Regardless, Aliens is a fantastic movie, but it would likely flop if it were released in 2024 because the well has been poisoned. Most people are completely-over "strong, boss-bitch" characters and have become hyper-sensitive to women doing...

    Halo

    I don't know how I feel about this show. It's just good enough that I look forward to the next episode, but after watching each one I'm left feeling disappointed. I guess the nostalgia hits are going to have to be enough.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    How prominent is the "strong, black woman" character? Sorry man, I've just had my fill and I literally have a visceral physical reaction to watching/listening to them speak. It makes me simultaneously ill and angry.

    I've been tempted to give this a look. What's the consensus? Yay or Nay?

    Shōgun

    You're an absolute retard. Honor and obedience to tradition are/were more important than ANYTHING else to Buntaro and men like him. Literally watching his wife suck off whiteboy-san is preferable to dishonoring his name, family, and ancestors by disobeying his lord and killing him, despite...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    First, I loved the movie and I'm definitely looking forward to the third, but this one did have problems. I completely agree about Walken. His character is supposed to have some significant weight/charisma and he didn't come across as particularly villainous, threatening, intimidating, or...

    Helldivers II

    The fliers are annoying, but it's absolutely infuriating when I kill one flying at me and the momentum of its flying corpse crashes into me - killing me. It's happened at least half a dozen times.

    Hate and disgust is all I felt when I saw that video. No exaggeration whatsoever. I want to see ALL people with that mindset crushed.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I tried to play Monster Hunter a couple years ago, but instantly refunded it when I realized you can't rebind keys. I've played on the right side of the keyboard (directional keys) my entire life and I couldn't play a game using WASD if you had a gun to my head.

    Helldivers II

    I held off buying this for a couple weeks, but now I'm level 35 and I really enjoy it. It's not something I can play all day, but I look forward to an hour or two every couple of days. I almost exclusively play tier 8 and it seems to be the sweet spot for me with pugs. 7 is too easy and 9 has...

    The D&D thread

    I watched the first episode but I won't be watching another. I can understand that some like it, but I hate campy 'D&D' content. Maybe if there was more D&D-like epic storytelling I could appreciate the goofy shit once in awhile, but quality fantasy material is exceptionally rare.

    That's rough. My condolences to you, your group, and his family. Before I share, I want to say that I'm definitely not trying to make your tragedy about me. My story is more about shared experiences. That said, my current group also had someone pass about a year ago. He wasn't a close friend...

    Ashes of Creation

    In a nutshell, I've been cautiously optimistic for a couple years and I haven't seen anything that moves the needle either way. Though the fact that they've hired a lot more people and production hit another gear in in late 2021, was a good sign. I don't have any doubt that the game will be...
