That's a really bad strategy because the tools to determine its use are extremely reliable and companies that lie to their customers tend to get wrecked.

I'm not going to bother typing out all my thoughts on AI because it would be a massive wall of paragraphs, but it's something I have spent a HUGE amount of time learning about and I'll summarize my thoughts. Like it or not, AI becoming omnipresent is inevitable and the rate at which companies...

I remember being ready to burst when Torment: Tides of Numenera's development was announced, but I will never, ever, ever forgive inXile for the absolute fucking train wreck that game ended up being. It had the potential to be great (and some elements of it were), but it was a clunky, poorly...

The DoS series and BG 3 are two totally different games despite both being CRPGs. DoS I/II are great and have their own charm, but the production value of BG 3 is absolutely extraordinary. It's objectively the better of the two examples you offered. If you want to break into the tabletop-to-PC...

While I've never actually played a single minute of Pathfinder, I own everything printed for 2e and have a shit ton of 1e books (including a physical copy of literally every 1e adventure path ever printed). I bought the material because it's only one step removed from D&D and I like to have a...

There's a YouTube video where a guy tested the theory you guys are referring to. Granted, it's one anecdote, but his findings were extremely persuasive. If you genuinely don't fuck with people, it's seems likely that the matchmaking algorithm is going to do its best to pair you with players...

I played the demo months ago and it's a huge upgrade to the original. The first game was extremely sound mechanically, but it had a lot of jank. Namely the voice acting, weak narrative, and the character models were ass, but what they did with the budget they had was nothing short of amazing...

Yeah. I actually Googled his height to see if he was abnormally short. Dude is listed at 5'9", but his dome makes him look like he has dwarfism.

I hate those type of cunts so much, that my dick literally cannot get hard for those mentally-ill harpies. I find them absolutely fucking revolting.

The incredibly dark, gritty nature of that trailer goes a long way to soften my fear that Larian's next game will have too much lame 'comedy.' It's just CGI, but the tone looks amazing and with what they were able to do with BG3, it has me very excited.

The, obviously, desperate Star Wars brand deal absolutely cemented me never touching Destiny again because the SW brand has been so catastrophically fagged up and poisoned over the last decade, anything with the label makes me physically ill. Andor has been the only exception for many, many...

I still rate the DoS series as some of the best RPGs ever made, but I genuinely hope they reduce the amount of the lame-ass comedy in the 3rd installment. I appreciate moments of levity, but when the "hue hue hue" slapstick comedy is baked in, it really detracts from the game.

This has been in my library forever and I haven't played it. Thanks for the reminder.

With highly fantastical/unrealistic settings, the studio can obscure some of the narrative weakness within the folds of the 'fantasy,' but games that are much more grounded in reality are given a lot less narrative leeway. I agree with you that there have been a million games done with a super...

Given the limitations of the setting, this game is going to require exceptionally good writing and narrative. Right now, both elements are exceedingly rare. All we can do is hope for the best. If this is ass, maybe Exodus will scratch the itch.

I definitely agree. Just watching the video was making me slightly dizzy and I have never had that happen despite playing 1000s of games.

I'm not the least bit surprised about the console vs. PC disparity. However, several of the faggots that have betrayed me were pathetic wanna-be streamers with TV or TTV in their name(s). Probably looking to get a 'funny' clip for their 3 viewers. I don't know shit about streaming and have...

I finally got around to playing the demo and I really enjoyed it. Though, I'm sure much of my appreciation is the fact that I am a huge D&D fan (TSR and pre-woke WotC). The demo is quite short and it uses the 1st edition ruleset and it's fairly faithful to the old-school dungeon crawl type of...

This game is still gay as fuck, but adding Gambit as a Strategist is a siren song I'm not sure I can resist.

I think I figured out why there seemed to be two completely different vibes when I would do raids in free loadouts vs. being pimped out. Apparently, there's gear-based matchmaking and most players have been made aware of this by watching streamers. In retrospect, I should have assumed the gear...

Those have to be relatively common because I found all of those, too. The only other blueprints I found were a glowstick and wolfpack grenade. I genuinely hate that this game really does make me legitimately angry. The most fun I had was spawning in with the free loadout and giving zero fucks...

I decided to do one more run after getting betrayed and losing my uber shit. I went all out -- crafted heavy armor, upgraded my new Anvil to IV, made three Vita shots, etc., etc. I was ready to go. I make it throughout the entire raid and 20 yards from the extraction point until an asshole has...

Before Arc Raiders, I probably had a total of 10 hours time playing extraction shooters because my personality heavily leans towards helping people rather than fucking with them. That trait tends to get you crushed in games (like these) which attracts a lot of complete faggots. I gave this game...

You're missing the point. The game looks great.

I noticed this, too. Originally, I thought it was some kind of class-based armor that was reducing the damage but, apparently, weapons are classified into 3, 4, and 5+ body shots to kill. The weapons listed at 33 are 3 shot, 25 are 4 shot, etc. The entire stat display of BF6 is a jumbled...

The game still has a pulse, but it's faint. Effectively, it's dead. Barring some miracle, it's a matter of time. Sooner than later. The only people still playing it are the people who have invested an embarrassing amount of their life into it and its part of their identity. The other part of...

I installed this for the first time last night and did 5 runs solo. I'm normally pretty good at FPS games but I got shit on, every run. I never extracted and the closest I got was dying once to running out of time. Some of it was my fault for playing too aggressively, but I loaded the game...

@Hoss I'm familiar with nearly every spell in the game so tell me a rough idea of what you'd like your character to be able to do and I can point you towards some options. Also, are you guys using the 2014 or 2024 rules? It matters because many spells were buffed/nerfed. Even if what you'd like...

No.

Thrane (US) and Shadowdale (EU) have the highest populations, but also crippling lag. Cormyr (US) has a lower population, but not nearly as laggy. It depends on how confident you are the lag will be fixed. The entire purpose of moving to the 64-bit servers was to fix it, but SSG is one of the...

I still play, but not regularly. I tend to play in spurts of a few weeks then take a couple months off. I haven't played any of the new Ravenloft expansion because the 64-bit servers are in a sorry state.

Welp, the most recent Unearthed Uncana sub-classes can't be anything but Dark Sun, so we're going to see some kind of Dark Sun product next year. I have hoped they'd steer clear of my favorite setting because there's 0% chance it doesn't get completely destroyed. Here's to boss-bitch...

That art is from the communist fever-dream Radiant Citadel adventure anthology. It's no coincidence that book is the lowest selling 5e book of all time and the only one I haven't purchased. I completely recognize that I am part of the problem in that I buy two copies (normal and alternate...

By the way, does anyone have a Kara-Tur -- The Eastern Realms box set in good shape they want to sell me? It doesn't have to be 100% complete, but I do want all the booklets and maps. I don't care about the promotional material or the plastic grid overlays. It's the only box set that I don't...

Sorry about my slow reply, but here's what I found: 1. The Emerald Spire (Pathfinder 1e/basically D&D 3.75) 2. Dwimmermount (OSR) 3. Castle Whiterock (Goodman Games) 4. Abomination Vaults (Paizo published for D&D 5e) 5. Temple of Elemental Evil (D&D 1e and 3.5e) 6. Halls of the Mountain King...

I do, too. Reading them also provides a DM with tons of material to mine for ideas. I've never run a published adventure, but I have taken a huge number of core ideas from many of the published modules that I own and heavily modified them to fit my game. I do the same thing with mechanics and...

I have Barrowmaze. Arden[sic] Vul rings a bell but I can't place it. Barrowmaze is a quality dungeon, but I tend to avoid megadungeons (particularly the OSR kind) because: 1. They often veer into the super-strange and/or goofy gonzo stuff and that's what turned me off of Rappun despite it being...

100%. I absolutely love fantasy Iso-RPGs, but there aren't nearly enough of them that cover other genres. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no doubt that this game is going to be completely insufferable. Paizo is a completely lost company -- nearly every senior staff member is a Leftist woman...

That dude is a massive faggot in both literal and figurative terms.

This George Floyd simulator didn't do super-well, but it still sold too many copies.
