yeah, I caught this on prime the other day. I loved the alien design, and much of it... but the pacing, and editing... not so much. and I think the script could have used some touch ups.

every patch brings improvements. but the game is still pretty rough imho. 35$ price tag? eh. about so. If you really are hesitant, keep waiting for all the classes to be complete I suppose.

I feel like all the people that didn't love this, should go back and watch it again. it is fantastic. you watch theatrical or directors cut? theres a big segment on getting King to approve the changes to the book to merge in the Shining movie elements in the wiki...

did you just randomly watch this again, or did you see good/bad flicks review the other day?

the 3 men here are "lieutenant marvels". in pure silver age sillyness. 3 guys all also named Billy Batson from the U.S. are super fans of the "real" Billy, and go meet him. Billy gives them the powers of shazam as well. cause why not? tall billy, hill billy, and fat billy...

should always be noted. "its from the comics" has become a completely loaded term. Comics have been overtaken by woke communists since 2005. Burgerking kids club Shazam family is from the post Flashpoint reboot in 2013. (2013 puts us well past the "something changed in 2011. And comics were...

you saw the bannerlord chat gpt mod right? did you post that here? I think its doubtful on ES6 or starfield really embracing the sim sadly. that really is the uniqueness of ES versus other crpgs, eldren ring, etc. but I don't think the average gamer understands that. you can look at fallout...

ah. yeah. looks like it was just NWN 1 I was mistaken. found this neat retrospective on wizardry. interesting, when talking about wizardry 1, you can directly see its influence on the creation of final fantasy and dragonquest. classes/menus/actions. dragonquest even bringing up the first...

nah for ultima online. the players were intended to take on that role. the npcs are far more static. But much of the world as Sim is still there. or was, and then patched out. Lord british famously being murdered. or, how the original design had an ecology sim. m+f rabbits, would spawn...

man, hard to say. ultima and wizardry are very different games, and genres. lets talk ultima first. first, honestly not even sure.. checked a bit, and found this thread. I'm not sure I would recommend ultima 1-3 on pc. they are SO old at this point. maybe the nes versions of 3 and 4.. These...

yeah, this probably falls under the "scope is growing too much". I'd almost say he should skip Divinity:OS 1/2 for now as well. wait for the ultima retrospective for those. we can say that for wasteland/fallout too. not ultima, but still different genre.

watching an older mortismal gaming vid, and he just brought up Underrail. https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/underrail-expedition.11303/#post-4231194 This isn't really for Rajaah. anyone else played underrail, think its worth checking out? its 50% off on steam atm, base game and dlc. 11.58...

Arcanum is equality top tier, and broken unfinished mess. its one of the top games for dialogue branching. where people will treat you differently based on race/sex, just across the game. as well as your int, will effect your dialogue choices. or getting drunk. not like modern games...

I mean thats fairly common. the protag is the audience insert. bland, knows nothing. everyone else is interesting. look at twilight series. hell, luke is the most boring in Starwars and Empire. every sitcom with everyman dad. point break. neo for 95% of The matrix. harry is far and away...

let him focus on the iso rpgs. then we can get him playing the Ultima's. Then wizardry/dungeoncrawls. then might and magic. then kings quest.

they might be hyping this up a bit too much. its a decent game. but, it is 100% an indie game. it does not have the budget of diablo or lost ark and it shows. Some people like the deterministic crafting. I'm not sure i could really point to anything that really stands out as brilliant...

yeah. wasteland was 1988. haha there is a wasteland remastered though. dont know anything about it though. Wasteland was the precurser to Fallout. "The ideas of the Fallout series began with Interplay Productions' Wasteland, released in 1988. At that time, Interplay was not a publisher and...

updated visuals are nice. constant progress. Looks like online code is rough though. getting caught on rocks with travel skills, invisible attacks, etc. all stuff I never had happen offline.

they brought the butcher back again? sigh... say it. say your catch phrase! "sigh... go for the eyes boo."

Gamers deserve all the shit they get. companies can shit directly in their mouths, and they just keep coming back paying the companies to do it over and over. why the hell would anyone pay blizzard for this after everything? IF it got stellar reviews, and you bought it after release ok. sure...

Theres some more to this too. some thoughts I've had in the past, and remembered. big number goes up, and cookie clicker. The first post talked about some of the roguelike and overarching tactical choices, and alts for justifying the arpg infinite grindset. The second aspect that goes into it...

NWN 1 and 2 had some fantastic player-made campaigns. not sure if theres a repository for any of them you can access though now. persistent rp servers too.

oh wait good point. Add the south park games to the list of rpgs to play.

Its always that for ARPGS. An absolute paradox for sure. farming for gear to farm. This is where alts come in. farming for gear to farm, but then get some cool item that enables a new build, or playstyle for another character. start that other character. This is why the 1-endgame...

on sale in steam spring sale. 70% off base game. 50% off dlc each.. or 70% off season pass. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/21937/Pathfinder_Wrath_of_the_Righteous__Mythic_Edition/ however, check out the bundles.. its applying the 70% off twice it seems. 91% off. Mythic edition will...

go back like one page for a "bow mage" rogue build featuring reign of winter bow.

I wouldn't say that though. its more like, 95% of people are cartoonishly evil, and the few that aren't are just so outnumbered by the cartoonishly evil, that they have to make deals with the evil people to survive.

theres no reason to mod carry weight in skyrim really. dragon bones are the only real thing that matters. gold is weightless. theres no reason to pick up all the swords, etc. just pick up gold, gems, potions, scrolls, etc. and, if you really want to just cheese. abuse alch/enchanting to...

planescape is d&d/spelljammer. takes place in Sigil. the city of doors. tides is sci-fi/fantasy. takes place in the far far future. the ninth world like middleearth/hyborian age. but now, 5 "eras/worlds" removed from us. civilization has formed, built spaceships, collapsed, 8 times. you...

Pillars 1 and 2 both have two major narrative problems I'd say. Pillars 1 has a major problem that involves the "reveal". the game doesn't set you up to buy into the mythology of the world enough. chpt 1 and 2, you the player should be borderline willing to pledge yourself to the gods...

yeah. catching up. 2 seasons. hell feels like 4 seasons squashed into one. the shows sensibilities are also hard to place. violent revolution is the only way to affect change? also, violent revolutions are horrible, and every dies. its taking the pikes, guillotines and reign of...

eh. while I wouldn't call them unplayable or anything. . 99%of games these days are too buggy to not have save scumming ready. or even when its not outright bugs, its game devs having wacky ideas of logic. like recently in pillars 2, I saved scummed back like 2 hours to reset Xoti from going...

Bumping this, to talk about Pillers 2 specifically, instead of talking about it in the pathfinder, or baldurs gate thread. although, kindof funny the last converstation here was identical to the one that was going on in baldurs gate haha. I'm a bit surprised the consensus was so low on Pillars...

looking at .9 here. looks like a good amount of polishing going on. I'd almost thing q4 this year. Although still missing several classes.

submit for The Forest/Sons of the Forest fanart.

There used to be a solid lucrative side gig field for DnD character commissions. and, custom portraits for crpgs. its brutal. Any dnd or crpg reddit has people making custom portraits now via A.I. to perfectly match your character in minutes. Does the A.I. have a hard time with hands and...

everyone has. and every time theres a "ask three questions" of a guru, djinn, whatever in every movie, tv show, etc ever.. every time. its the same joke.

wizard versus sorc has swapped around in rolls and effects in various versions of dnd. iirc in that version of dnd. sorc was as noted, fewer spell selections, but more casts per rest. great blasters. while wizards have more options. in pnp wizard was flat out better, due to being able to fit...

Skyrim was 2011. Fallout 4 was 2015. (nov 11th and nov 10th in regards to that question.) its been 8 years. that bethesda is even capable of making a good game at all is up for grabs.
