    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Also @Utnayan isn't that original Chinese tweet just some random blogger on Weibo, not the developer?

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    copy of full tweet text: Maybe something is lost in translation but I don't quite understand the connection between rejecting Sweet Baby Inc and people shit talking them on the internet. Are they alleging that Sweet Baby Inc is paying people to post that like some kind of protection racket? Or...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Just unlocked it and used cheatengine to trigger the endigne. 8/10 game, too easy.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I don't get it. Is he trying to group his 10 SK with his 34 shaman or is he just saying he's got 3 different characters he can play depending on the group's level?

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    The evolving oakwynd rules look like they just motivate players to raid log and quit for the next expansion sooner. The stacked bonuses just turn the game into candyland.

    I'm expanding to my first off-system planet, Tarturus. It's a massive vitamelange planet super far from the Calidus star system. To build a new base I'm using Arcolink technology to create a wormhole factory pipeline. Here's the sending side on Nauvis. On the right is the factory sender for...

    I hate that garbage too for the same reason but I kind of like that FromSoft has their own unique spin on multiplayer that is ethereal and inline with the lore.

    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    It's annoying because in many ways the greatest digital recreation of some civilizations is the line of AC games. 15 years after AC2 I don't know if there is anything more accurate in its portrayal of Florence during the Renaissance. I'm no expert but I played AC2 after spending a few days...

    Given the demographics of Quebec city (90% white, 4% black) they probably get most of their information about African Americans (Canadian or USA) from Hollywood.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I think this kind of game is better as more of a hands-off action game where companions are able to express their personality with less control from the player. A traditional CRPG where a player slowly works through combat situations in turn-based gameplay just takes time away from the core of...

    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    I don't know if "Assassin's Creed 14" counts but I'm supportive of studios making original games with original IP vs remakes. I imagine so few of the people responsible for the impressive games that were AC1, AC2, AC Black Flag etc that propelled the series to success are working on AC Shadows...

    Vanguard of the Fallen - My EQ Based RPG Project

    btw Blazin, cool project and good luck. I've always wished that EQ->Unreal port devs (I realize you're not just trying to port EQ to Unreal) would get together for something real, but I also realize that the hard part about porting Unreal to EQ is also pretty boring. Integrating what P99 (or...

    Vanguard of the Fallen - My EQ Based RPG Project

    Yes. As a mainly c++ dev it's quite a learning curve. After climbing it I kinda prefer C++ for most things, but it's hard to have a lot of responsibility in an Unreal project without being good at blueprints. The biggest complaints I have around it are about traceability. Blueprints wrap the C++...

    Iridite is the last raw resource to get this kind of all core frag -> complete product in one quadrant treatment and it might be my favorite one just because it produces hydrogen chloride onsite and uses iridite to do it, while being slightly rock negative. The line of centrifuges in the center...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I won't pay a dime for anything until people compare starfields recovery with no mans sky. And if they don't invest in starfield enough to make it respectable, good luck convincing me (who has played all five elder scrolls) into buying TES6 without good reviews.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Agreed with this. From a game design perspective it's pretty haggard. Every live expansion is barebones and the character development is anemic.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I was thinking about this the other day, despite really enjoying the games that preceded DA Veilguard I think it's evolved to be a subgenre of "relationship RPG" that just isn't marketed to me. Even if I was excited about Veilguard if I wanted to do all the quests I'd dread the inevitable "tour"...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I don't give a shit about romances but I think having different NPCs have different preferences that highly bias their romance would be preferable. Such that some NPCs will flat out reject the wrong race/sex, others prefer different combos and some don't care. This is doubly so if they...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Sure, what system would you propose measures the value of say, real estate, in a way that captures fluctuations of real-estate while minimizing fluctuations of value in the denomination? BTC is probably the worst one being discussed. "Number of Latest iPhones" would probably be better by a lot.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I'd be way more likely to play on a TLP if they increased the spawnrate in outdoor zones by 2x and indoor zones by 4x, at least for classic/kunark/velious.

    I'm a retard complaining about tower gear and I didn't even play because these TLPs aren't challenging enough to be worth my time. Buncha boomers running around like gerbils waiting for respawn to collect their loot pellets. The anniversary tower is just another shiny pellet to make the game...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    If I were to chart my home's value as denominated in BTC over the last ten years, would it not primarily just be a chart of BTC's price and mostly obscure real-estate value fluctuations?

    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    Historically AC games haven't been very modable, but a mod that basically turns Yasuke into CJ from GTA:SA would be $$$. AI voice acting in 2024 makes this absolutely feasible from a voice acting standpoint.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Yeah if you just roll around a few times you can beat every mechanic in the game. No can defend. But seriously, everything about ER is a work of art. If you like fantasy RPGs it should be first on your list to play.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Here is how many people who haven't played ER rate its difficulty: "masochistic self-flagellation that you have to endure before you 'succeed'". Do you think that is an overating of its difficulty?

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    ER's difficulty is really overrated. A little bit of meta gaming (leveling up, getting gear/build advice, doing the content in the "right' order) makes it merely a hardish game.

    One of the latest late game entities is the Arcolink Storage which is a 10 slot container that shares inventory like a Minecraft shulker box. This is obviously extremely powerful and makes significant challenges in SE obsolete. It's so powerful I was honestly a little disappointed when I...
