[MandaloreGaming] Arcanum Review
Nope, I said that it's good but not a masterpiece because of poor implementation, and that it was "one of the best games to talk about, and one of the worst games to play." You took this subjective statement, and assumed I was making an objective argument, and then asked for proof of my...- roll-a-die

[MandaloreGaming] Arcanum Review
You didn't ask me for quality complaints, you asked me for times where the game wasted your time, or created unpleasant game feel. I explained them. You refuted them by calling them good. I didn't create a quality complaint. I explained how they wasted your time. Please quit being so autistic...- roll-a-die

[MandaloreGaming] Arcanum Review
Literally, you have a choice between combat being a clusterfuck, or wasting your time. You have a "choice" between tech or magic, but from the perspective of a player, choosing tech requires you to waste a lot of time compared to magic, for lesser power. Magic has a lot of options, sorting...- roll-a-die

[MandaloreGaming] Arcanum Review
From design standpoints: Jagged Alliance 2 does TB Combat better. Planescape: Torment does story better. BG1 does a broad world better and more coherently. Icewind Dale does RtwP combat better. Arcanum isn't trash, but it's not anywhere near the best in any category. It's good. But it's not...- roll-a-die

[MandaloreGaming] Arcanum Review
The expected public of a niche games review like this, is a gamer. Gamers, especially ones likely to understand and be interested in this type of game. Are likely to have the background knowledge to know the basics. For instance, he didn't need to spend a full 3 minutes expounding on the...- roll-a-die

[MandaloreGaming] Arcanum Review
Brevity is the soul of wit, and I can't believe my motormouthed ass is the one saying that. John Nash, 26 pages, 2 references, foundational paper for describing game theory. Non-Cooperative Games. Eventually formed the nucleus of his nobel prize winning paper. Big videos eat time. The most...- roll-a-die

Underrail: The Incline Awakens
This is true. I'm just saying, it's not impossible. As there's been several projects in the past that just needed someone autistic enough to handle the decompilation. Though I will say, that modding for Minecraft is pretty rapidly swapping to fabric which uses Mixin's which AFAIK doesn't rely...- roll-a-die

Underrail: The Incline Awakens
Fun fact. Minecrafts code is obfuscated. The fans for years would go through, run code analysis, and deobfuscate the code and then run it through a tool to repack it into an obfuscated form after they made modifications too it. This project was and still is called Minecraft Forge. When...- roll-a-die

Underrail: The Incline Awakens
I'm gonna say this now, if this shits sequel is as good as this shit, I'mma probably play the shit out of it too. I've just made it through Rail Crossing. My basic build is a DnD rogue. Sneak and stab, and die if I don't kill things quick enough. 0 Crafting skills, some talky skills. Mostly...- roll-a-die
