its pretty funny. on an unrelated note. this league has kept be interested longer then most. hitting level 86 on my plant chrono, t 12 maps. and not bored out of my mind quite yet. The game is improving.

yeah, I've made the connection myself how conan exiles, Rust, etc are actually very close to Bethesda games. survival, "life sims". so, there is some throughway there. the idea didn't come completely out of nowhere. but, yeah, the pve co-op versus pvp has always been something THEY all...

does anyone actually think Todd is involved in making Bethesda games at all these days? Executive producer. he signs the checks. he doesn't even hire people I don't think. Managing director is Ashley Cheng. Studio Director is Angela browder. THESE two almost certainly make all the design and...

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 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...

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...

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...

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/

https://www.gog.com/en/game/tainted_grail_the_fall_of_avalon_sanctuary_of_sarras DLC dropped the other day. I decided to bite, and buy the game and dlc when it did. Can't really review it yet. I'm not that far in. I saw a couple others talking about it. So it seems like 3 of us are...

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...

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...

As that Video from itsaGundam points out... (althought he miss id's it as Jimmy neutron. but no, it was Sid from toy story.

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...

Here's my plant chronomancer if you are curious. its more of a wip. mostly ssf. except the chest. https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/13257 Theres not a TON of synergy with plants. they do just all scale with cast speed, and aoe, so, quicksand hourglass is just raw power, if not any real interesting...
