    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.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Imagine dropping 4 figures on a game and getting banned before it comes out from exploiting on wipe-imminent beta servers

    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?

    Bellwright - Medieval RPG Sim Strat

    Yeah but I love games with a lot of variety. All the elements combine together to give more depth and keep the gameplay loops feeling fresh.

    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...

    What is the DAO brand and how is it differentiated from other popular fantasy RPGs?

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    A key question is whether DEI garbage is a root cause of the issues being discussed. I'd argue that any DEI garbage filled outfit like Bioware 2024 is incapable of producing a game like DAO (in terms of design) or even the trailers posted here.B

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I figure the design doesn't start with them wanting to build whatever Veilguard is, and they chose whether to use a new IP or an old one. The design instead starts with them wanting to build another game in the current IP and they choose to build Veilguard from that. They don't really have the...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Uh huh. Problem is that when you've got a studio that's developed a bad reputation there's really no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they're dialed into a target demo that doesn't consist of fan's of the series and instead is striking into a new demographic of young...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Just looked up the trailers for DAO. Blood, violence, sex, honor and sacrifice. In the DA Veilguard these are all second-class concepts to the cartoony hijinx with a carefully diverse cast. If the new DA trailers were anything like that I'd be looking forward to the reviews at the very...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I tried looking at this objectively and without bias and figure out what makes me disinterested in it. I think for a trailer showing off the team being built I just see a group of rag tag losers who I need to give constant pep talks to in order to help them overcome the same emotional baggage...
