    Age of Decadence is less than $4 bucks right now. Fairly highly rated turn-based RPG. Also check the bundle which includes another newer game set in same world:

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    WoW - Vanilla - Tauren Warrior - $350 - when you could still sell on Ebay Wow - Burning Crusade - Gnome Rogue - $250 - PlayerAuctions Came back for later expansions but never hardcore enough to sell characters.

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    I wouldn't mind a Champions of Norrath sequel. Was a decent Diablo-clone in EQ universe. Coop was awesome.

    Star Control RETURNS?!

    The reason for DMCA takedown seems frivolous. They are claiming "ownership" of a color, 2D camera view, 2D coordinate system, and autopilot? Lol?

    Star Control RETURNS?!

    Finally started on this and about 20 hours in. Fairly worthy successor to Star Control. - Ship battles are cool. - They definitely get the "atmosphere" of Star Control with humor, weirdness, mystery, etc. - Graphics kinda mediocre. - Races and plot mostly well done. - The "MenkMack" dialogue I...

    Aquaman (2018)

    - couple cringe moments - Momoa is good, Amber has a few bad takes but damn is she hot - movie has heart - the giant fish battles are fucking awesome Worth seeing in the theatre.

    The Bard's Tale 4

    Finished on Normal. Party was 2 Sword/Shield Fighters, 2 Sword Rogues, Practioner, Bard. Pretty much plowed through the game easily. Don't think I lost a single fight after around level 10. Not even boss fights. Way better game than I expected. That ending is great.

    The Bard's Tale 4

    Finally finished Pathfinder (120+ hours) and moved on to this. Up to level 15 now. Damn this game is really well done. Only thing to complain about is it needs a real beefy system and the characters are kinda ugly. I'm really liking the combat system. Fairly unique.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Endless dungeon will kinda fix a lot since you'll be able to XP and gold grind. Anyway just finished on Normal. Took 130 hours. First game I've played that legit took over 100 hours with no DLC or expansions. Non-spoiler things that would make the game better: - increase or remove most of the...

    Yeah I got a pre-nerf Untamed Blade on my Tauren Warrior. Remember my first time using it in a BG. Saw a Gnome >> Charge >> Blade Proc >> sword spec proc >> he died.

    The Haunting of Hill House

    Show was really well done. Was fine with the end since it wasn't like most horror movie/show endings.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    Yeah. 1st 3 seasons were great but lets just move on from Electra, Fisk, the Hand, etc. We had a lot of that stuff in Defenders too.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    If you are on "Normal" difficulty the game is actually pretty hard due to how they tune monsters and because "good" party builds are light years ahead of average builds. BTW there's a Reddit dedicated to just character builds. Worth a look: Kingmaker Builds • r/kingmakerbuilds

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    80 hours in just did the huge Barbarian plains war fight. Was awesome. Act 5? No game breaking bugs so far.... Party I settled on is excellent on Normal difficulty with no modifications: 2 Two-Handed Fighters 2 Knife Rogues (Main and Nok Nok) Nature Cleric / pet wolf Sylvan Sorcerer / pet...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Hmm so any 3.5 or Pathfinder experts can suggest the ultimate 6-pet party? Only thing I know is you need to be nearly pure-class for pets to be decent. Not sure there is any way around the scaling? Was thinking something like: Melee Ranger + pet Mad Dog Barb + pet Bow Ranger + pet Nature Cleric...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Loving this game so far. Only big issue is the front-loaded difficulty because the pregen characters kinda suck. I kicked them all but Linsy. Already been said, but pets are awesome. Have a Cleric and Sorcerer with the permanent pet abilities. Took a Wolf and Bear have nearly the HP of same...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Rusty on my D&D 3.5 rules, but read up a bit on why this build works: -Rogue to get Weapon Precision (Dex for melee not Str), Daggers, Sneak Attack - Monk to get Wis bonus to AC feat - Fighter for HP, BaB, Weapon Specialization So you only need 3 stats Dex, Wis, Con and you buff everything...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    I have this on deck with POE2, DOS2, and Bard's Tale 4. Edit: actually starting this now just to support it on Steam player stats. Those other games already super successful companies. Want to make sure these guys stay in business for more Pathfinder games. 👍

    Just watched streams so far since I'm finishing another game ... but goddamn those character sheets alone look fucking awesome. Not aware of a game with character sheets that have a timeline of points invested each level. Seems like they implemented nearly all Pathfinder character mechanics...

    RIP Telltale Games

    400+ employees holy mismanagement Batman? Weren't the games like glorified cutscenes with extra gameplay? With the high-end licenses they had its hard to imagine the depth of mismanagement that put them out of business … ;(

    The Bard's Tale 4

    Ok finally testing this. Liking the game play, voice acting, etc... but it looks and runs like total ass for what it is. The Dwarf models are a fucking war crime. Wasteland 2 was 2D and top down so shitty unoptimized art wasn't hard to compensate for. But man, Skara Brae is the first zone in...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    IKR? 40 min trailer with boob physics and zero backlash so far. Maybe a sign of progress? Anyway this looks fucking awesome. Like best of Deus Ex + Witcher 3 combined. Also whoever said "CDPR take on Vampire The Masquerade : Bloodlines" … holy shit that would be amazing.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I had a 3-digit user ID on the Vanguard SOH forums so I got into alpha/beta free. The time wasted on those forums, for that game, is a far more egregious loss than the $60 I might have spent... o_O

    Riot Games MMO

    Guess I'm not much into the genre but having tried them all: HOTS >>>>> LOL >>>>>>>>>>> DOTA Re-install LOL and DOTA every so often. After a couple 45 min slogs I remember the tedium. Not sure if anything has changed, but HOTS is the only one thats a chaotic brawl the whole game.

    Pre-ordering here too. Finally a Pathfinder CRPG. Is Ryan Dancey the guy they flushed $ millions (?) down the toilet to develop the failed Pathfinder Online? Pathfinder Online - Wikipedia That smelled like failure from the outset. Completely wrong IP for a sandbox PVP MMOG.
