    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I was going to make a post on how a lack of "magic" was going to effect sales. Will have to re-review the videos on combat etc. try to nail down what exactly is available. Biotics, tk, psychic powers. even hacking, drones, "summons", other tech based magic. I dont think we saw drones in...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    outpost system. can see in the UI. "build limit". no number, but just a visual bar it seems. cargo, crew, needed power, total power production /min. "assign crew and companions to work in them." I wonder how much automation this is. proper colony building, or just another game with "crew"...

    Avowed

    An article with some sobering details. https://www.pcgamer.com/avowed-rpg-obsidian-preview-magic-interview/ Exclusive: Avowed started as Obsidian's Skyrim, but evolved to focus on depth over breadth, 'where Obsidian really shines' they repeatedly go on about how companions are very...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    lol. yeah. that 1000yard star, odd head bob, and mouth moving out of sinc with the head. I almost have to think it was intentional to remind every one this is TES people. All this NMS comparisons seems weak to me. NMS is pretty empty. I expect TES npc interactions. like fallout and skyrim...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    eh.. every game is going to have this issue with everyone leaning on the same top 2-3 builds. A strategies. It's basically impossible to eliminate it. you can help by having radically different playstyles involved. so each playstyle might have 2-3. the constant league resets is one way...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    subclasses in poe do have the same problem, and were a mistake. They do reduce build options.

    yeah. so much of whats talked about here applies to what went wrong with Path of Exile too.

    I can't believe people keep eating this up. What does blizzard got to do to stop you from going back to that trough? But still, reading threads, checking a few vids, while not spending cash, and also avoiding streams etc, to not encourage this shit.. in order to get some ideas on the...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    really hard to say, few companies have done a good job going from d20 adaptations, to their OWN unique systems well. they are also going from RTWP, to RTWP/Turn based, to tactical grid ala xcom/wasteland...

    Path of Exile

    I think we all joked about PoE2 taking exactly as long as it takes to make D4+1 day. So yesterday it seems, GGG put the pathofexile2 domain name into use, to promote exilecon, and other poe2 info. Speculation for summergames fest teaser, with exilecon being full reveal...

    Time for coffee derail?! yeah, euro weirdo's use electric tea kettles. basically the same tech as a coffee maker. water basin, with electric heating element directly in the water. more efficient then propane or stovetop burner, which wastes alot of heat. Microwave is just as or more...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think it was more the other way around. there were a ton of people that were still, "its still good, its still good" until s8 hit. then they had to admit its bad, and that woke them up, to look back and admit it had been bad for a while.

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    compare summer to summer, and awesome to awesome. Also, go back further. Back to before the cult took over completely. Engagement is way down, but donations seems pretty static at 3m. clearly 90% of the donations are from corporations.

    Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)

    huh. wasn't much talk about this. I'm getting to it now. its on amazon prime. My initial response was pretty low. Tilda's character start off pretty unrelatable or likeable. She and her character really drag the whole thing down. The movie really shines with the djinn and his stories of the...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    lets see. wotr. first beta was feb 2 21. second beta was may 5th 21, with release sept 2 21. theres also been a ton of post release patching, enhanced edition, etc as well. Wotr has insane replay, something the thread doesn't comment enough on. so, this could potentially have play on...

    Castlevania

    yeah, on some level thats to be expected from that author.. in general though. treating Carmilla as a major threat is to be expected. honestly, the show does a great job making her a proper character and threat for the most part. while in the games, its more shes just there.. over and over and...

    Redfall (Vampires, Open World Co-Op Shooter)

    yeah, poor management it seems. chasing 20 different trends at once. No unified vision. asking for one thing to be added, then 2 weeks later, asking for something completely different to be added. sounds about right.

    I always find it fascinating how they are just so singularly focused on movies. rich knows games/comics/cartoons. but Mike and Jay know nothing about them at all. "lets talk Death metal". "whats Metalocalypse?"

    I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

    I started this. And finding way more misses then hits with comedy. The kids in the hall reboot killed it.. this isn't. I should note, rereading this thread.. I, too, got the netflix thing. I realize it started me on season 3. I'll have to go back and see if S1 is actually funny.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    yeah. wotr is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites. I started a secondplaythrough. evil kineticist.. but couldnt really get into being evil. so didn't even make it out of shield maze.. but started a shadow shaman Angel, and am now at the end of act 3. 477 hours in Wotr so far...

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    The Wiz was a total piece of shit. But I will agree with chuk here, it was also something else entirely. It was a complete reimagining. Like countless reimagining's of Romeo and Juliet in modern times. Shit like West Side Story. is anyone on earth going to bitch that West side story is not...

    The Diplomat - Netflix

    yep, my brother mentioned this. And you guys. on epi 5 so far. Pretty solid. Minor bit of girl power as noted. "bitchy" and shit. the main character not taking part in that crap though. men are all written with it in mind though blatantly. Does a good job totally ignoring actual real...

    ooph. my only interactions with Rob, were hanging out in a Comic book coloring pro forum, and one of the colorists bitching there about getting shafted over royalties/pay or something for work they had done for Rob 15 years prior back in the Image days. And Rob parachuting in, and threatening...

    got around to Encanto. What a bizarre movie. No conflict at all. songs were hit or miss. a couple ok. even those could have used more time on the burner. boo hoo, I'm not special, the rest of my family is. Boo hoo, I'm special and thats stressful. Boohoo, Im special and thats stressful...

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    yeah, the Eldar are "helping". But "helping" might mean diverting a Tyranid swarm to a human world, to devour it to piss off the humans, so they send space marines to kill the swarm, and along the way, also get attacked by orcs, which were also tricked into attacking the humans, which diverts...

    haha. yeah American Leftists having to do mental gymnastics to pretend like the US isn't the LEAST racist country on Earth is always lulz. They just don't live in reality. Their entire world view is a fiction created by movies, tv and video games.
