    X-Men '97

    This is the sad truth The Totally Spies reboot is probably going to suck because it will end up just being dudes tied up

    Helldivers II

    Sony just wants your data to sell and to send you unwanted marketing bullshit They're wrapping it in some "safety" excuse, which is hilarious considering how often they've had data breaches on PSN

    SWTOR

    I tried to go back a year ago or so and was lost. All my companions were missing, they 100% redid all the abilities and talents, and I couldn’t even remember how to leave the space station lol

    Helldivers II

    The country limited thing seems like the bigger issue considering the global reach of Steam Sony isn’t going to say “use false data to make an account”, so they need an official stance other than “sorry guess ur fuct”

    Fallout - New Vegas

    Yup. It's pretty much completely optional in both games. Without base building I probably wouldnt have put nearly as much hours into both titles

    Fallout - New Vegas

    All the pre-Bethesda Fallouts are pretty dated at this point (1,2,Tactics). If you don't mind low res janky UI games and can power through it, they're solid. Just difficult (both the game itself and getting past the dated feel) Fallout 3 and NV are very similar - NV has a better overall...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Depends 1) If you try to go to underwater prison, Gortash makes you an enemy 2) If you kill murder lady without making a deal, I think Gortash makes you an enemy too? 3) if you make a Gortash deal and follow through, Karlach abandons you He eventually ends up in his apartment in all the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think the show played a role One issue I always encountered with creative writing is you always have some good parts really fleshed out in your head and then you have to write all the other stuff to get there and connect it all. It’s the connective tissue where you get bogged down…you can’t...

    The best part of act 3 is talking to the cabbage seller if you’re a monk lol

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He actually has a conundrum 1) The show revealed how he originally planned the story to go 2) He realized people didn’t like all of it, so now he has to think of new shit while not shitting on everything he wrote before No one is going to be happy when it comes out.

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    Typical Gavinmad escalation post 1) “this group wants to harm me! They’re violent!!” followed by 2) “btw you should die”

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    Seemed like the show primarily served as a capstone for the end of the pre-Empire clone stuff storylines/the Kamonians and a better explanation on why Project Necromancer is seemingly less advanced that prior clone tech we see in the prequels

    Shadowheart seems open for most stuff so long as she is the alpha You fuck a demon and she is like “at least the adventurer knows how much better I am than you now that they’ve sampled inferior goods”

    Archeage

    AoC strikes me as the bastard child of Archeage and Shadowbane - I’m still convinced that unless he softens the “play to crush” gameplay design, people are going to quit the game in droves after the first month or so

    Helldivers II

    Whatever they did with this patch is making the game run like dogshit on a lot of PCs. I used to get 60+ FPS even during mass swarms - now I am getting like 15-20 FPS just standing on the bridge of my super destroyer. I've barely played as a result.

    The city building is impressive at the very least

    Fallout

    It’s probably the sentry you can build in your base Fallout 76 - doesn’t acquire targets, doesn’t kill anything, and super mutants with pipe pistols destroy it

    Pax Dei

    Mega guild at least in the sense they were killing all the cities and no one was able to stop them anyways They did use bullshit like banes at 3am though If we can thank the devs for one thing, it is that they demonstrated “play to crush” MMOs are guaranteed to become failed ghost towns

    Fallout 4

    On the flipside, Fallout saw far more popularity once it moved to 3D. Most RPGs in the late 90s/early 2000s were pretty much the isometric design - stuff like Morrowind really popularized the FPS-style of open world RPG and it also translated much better to consoles. While a Baldur's Gate 3...

    Fallout 4

    Fallout 4 was ok for what it was. I think the biggest downside was the lack of nuance in the endings. You wipe out institute/BoS/Railroad

    Pax Dei

    Lords of Death or something was the “mega guild”. They had their city on that ice island - the attack that killed their city had like 500+ people and was a slideshow / sb.exe fest I forgot the other city guild names. My company was called “Eleven” and we were mostly just former EQ1...

    Helldivers II

    Tried the crossbow changes - “slightly reduced” aoe is a lie. It can’t clear tiny bugs or bots like it used to and you effectively need a direct hit to kill anything. Even using it in close quarters isn’t as big a risk anymore because of the nerf
  24. Cybsled

    Helldivers II

    Not sure why they nerfed the crossbow - AOE for the explosions is now like half of what it was and they reduced the ammo count. Almost no one was using it to begin with.

    Shōgun

    Mariko living or dying would have worked in Toranaga's favor 1) Mariko leaves no problem - Ishido loses all his hostages and the other lords abandon him 2) Mariko dies - Ochiba abandons Ishido, which causes the other lords to abandon him

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What makes these games is the initial novelty and the friends we make - you can never replicate that original feeling because the factors that created that cannot be replicated

    Tauren Mill in closed beta was pretty funny. Mages used to be able to channel pyroblast while invis and the invis wouldn't break until the cast completed. So mages would basically just setup on the fringes and 1 shot squishy people and then reinvis. Most of them had no idea warlocks could...

    Pax Dei

    Yup. On our server Death it basically went 1) first couple weeks people build cities 2) mega guild kills a major city, people from killed city join other city 3) mega guild kills 2nd major city 4) literally the entire server teams up and kills mega guild city 5) server dies because almost...

    Pax Dei

    The problem with true sandbox games is the only content of note is what other players contribute to the server. Once you get past the initial "build a city" part, then people start looking to destroy other cities and it becomes pretty easy to end up in a "mega town kills the server" situation...

    Fallout

    Enclave and Vault Tec have always been cozy, so there is a lot of overlap. Presumably all the Vault Tec middle managers got some additional clearance and information before they got put on ice - which makes sense. Bud's goal was to have a consistent management of a project for hundreds of...

    I think the book makes it clear it was an excuse to purge spies/loyalists to Ishido

    Shōgun

    There was additional subtext to that scene: Toronaga was secretly getting Blackthorne to bathe (at that point, he had not washed at all)

    Shōgun

    The hints were there. Like his brother shows up and he is like “I heard you have a trained barbarian!” and he would dismiss Blackthorne like he was a toddler Toronaga demonstrates that being a villain or a hero depends on what side of history you end up on. Toronaga was committed enough to...
