    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    I guess for those then. what do you think is the best, and how close does it have to be for you? like would a fanstasy, or cyberpunk, or superhero fallout style game be ok? or does it have to be post apoc for you? Like, divinity os1? swordhaven shadowruns? Larian itself probably was the...

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    Fallout is weird and in a tough spot. there is a massively split playerbase that want different things. I LOVE the survival mode, the settlement building. the "open world post apoc life sim", in the same way TES games are "open world fantasy life sims". a big open world to go explore. the...

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    anyone that tells you the game is not worse then stated is being dumb. 1. the game is not a metroidvania. its entirely linear. 2. half the powerups you get. you have to backtrack to miles to have him enable. so you get an upgrade, and don't get to use it. and instead have to runback. 3...

    Sinners (2025)

    yeah, I got to this today. Parts of it are very good.. parts... are not. There is of course the constant casual racism. All minorities love each other and get along, except whitey. Casual hate, slurs, etc against whitey. Casual black segregation, supremacy, "we wuz kings", roots" black...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    god I hate hollywood fake generic leather "medieval" armor. leather wrist wraps for no reason. there are period armors that were cool as hell. memorable as hell. Bright. colorful. they don't do this shit to Japan, and Samurai armor. https://www.hellenicarmors.gr/en/armors/ancient-greek/

    Divinity

    All of the above. kenshi is practically an rts. that you can pause and give orders. or move in real time. but, you don't individually control any character. dragon age, visions of mana, mount and blade, and a bunch of games act as action games, where you can pause, and give instructions to...

    Rwtp can be a godsend in some games. Turn based can hit a real problem with 10+ units. Troubleshooter:abandoned children has this problem. its especially noticeable in Xcom grid based games. wehre the A.i. spends 20 minutes moving units. Additionally, it CAN allow action/timed combat...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    yeah. I don't remember any maps being all that complex and getting "lost". what I think I do remember is the "which is the correct path? go forward 50ft. oh, wait I think this is the way forward, so I better go check the other path for loot. go the other way. oh, wait. no This is the...

    no thats a bad analogy. its more like, woodworking, carpentry, or ironworking you used to be able to find a carpenter that could build anything. or local ironworks everywhere. But, at some point, lowes/ikea,etc, started selling premade railings, windows, furniture, etc. now, 90% of houses...

    yeah. there is plenty of valid issues with A.i. use in art, etc. but, the people making the most stink and noise, have no idea wtf they are talking about. one argument I make is pointing out the collapse of the ladder. Saw it in comic book industry. Inking. Inking used to be its own art...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    this is a different statement. Turn based RPGS as a whole, are not only not outdated, but are in a massive resurgence. we've had this discussion. They started to die out due to consoles, and "modern audience" thinking of the early 2000's. Diablo, morrowind, Kotor>bioware. Bioware (and...

    I don't really play consoles anymore. so can't really say. I think japan is still doing turn based though? what was Metaphor : refantazio? persona? japan still doing dungeon crawls, and disgeae's too I think. NIS has got to be making turn based stuff. I played visions of mana. it was...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I think this games parry system triggers people because its designed to be antagonistic. the timing, and ques have intentional fakeouts. While something else like, Sea of starts,mario rpg, paper mario etc, have rhythm systems built in, where you are encouraged to time attacks, and parries...

    yeah. it would be VERY hard to start with bg3. No other game has the budget. period. Owlcats games. Pathfinder kingmaker, pathfinder wrath of the righteous, and roguetrader are top notch, and many consider wotr the greatest crpg of all time. however, 10th of the budget. little to no voice...

    even if we say the publisher didn't fund anything, nor provide any assistance in either hiring or getting people in touch with backend, servers, etc or any other technical aspects.. and was JUST distribution. that still is an unfair advantage in a popularity contest like the game awards. where...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I was very critical of the game, but I think it does deserve most of its wins. A part of it is the nature of the categories. like Elden ring might be a better game overall.. but, soundtrack, performances, etc? e 33 does actually deserve most of its individual wins. there is no "world...

    very overstated. First chick was the South of midnight lesbian. "chick in the purple dress with bit cans". then Tricia Helfer came out wearing this. looking AMAZING for being 78. (shes actually 51) this bitch came out shopping at the same store. (007 first light actress.)

    I was considering making a post last night, but went to bed instead. Mortismal made a video, and he did pick up on many of the things I wanted to talk about. Originally the "Divinity" tag, made me think it was a reboot of Divine divinity. But, the more I looked at the trailer, doubting it...

    Divinity: Original Sin 3

    I can't tell if they are retconning the storyline again... or, if this is just retconning Divine Divinity to match Original sin timeline.. nothing in that trailer pinned it as a Divine Divinity reboot or anything.

    What makes you think Original Sin? Original sin doesn't use the I. Divine Divinity does. The original. Divine Divinity was supposed to be a successor to Ultima 8. but, Diablo happened, so it was retooled into an action rpg. They always wanted to go back to that Ultima idea and we got...
