    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Idiots

    Diablo 3 completely sucked on release; it was a grinding simulator designed to force you to use the AH to get any real progression through its difficulty system. The expansion made it actually a decent ARPG. So I don't know if I would give it Perkel's rating but he's right in that it's in a...

    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Finally, I can make the character I've always wanted to play.

    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Reactivity is expensive, and they're obviously being more ambitious about C&C and dialog for whatever specific race/class combination you end up making. Things will be spread across multiple story branches rather than accessible to everyone all the time. Kingmaker was long enough that it could...

    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    I liked TToN, but the third act of the game was way too short and the climax was dismal. Compared with how much Kingmaker made on its kickstarter, and it's almost pathetic how small in scope TToN ended up being.

    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    In my searches for various bits of information I've already seen people bitch about alignment in probably a dozen threads between reddit posts and the steam forums. Nobody knows what the fuck they're talking about. "WHY ARE THE HELLKNIGHTS BREAKING THE LAW IN MY KINGDOM IF THEY'RE LAWFUL? BAD...

    All the Paizo APs start at level 1 as far as I know, including WotR.

    Oh, I thought he'd kill her if I went through the evil ending for his quest or something. Fuck that. Edit: The Runelords trilogy (Rise of the Runelords, Shattered Star, and Return of the Runelords) would be fantastic, although that'd be committing to 3 games. I didn't really care for the...

    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    The romances in kingmaker weren't super lengthy or involved. More options means more chances for something like tiefling waifus, and I doubt it'll be an expensive goal. Incidentally I'm on my second Kingmaker playthrough and after paying closer attention to their dialog I'm trying to get...

    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    When you were talking about this I mentioned the cost of translating Kingmaker's text would have worked out to over $150,000. Look how much that stretch goal costs. Personally I never thought it was impossible, I just didn't think it'd be worth it. But they're paying for it in advance here.

    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    You're barely even arguing about the systems in the context of the game. You're just bitching at each other about which system is inherently better. It's all completely meaningless anyway because that's exactly the point: the game is going to have both systems, so why the fuck are you arguing...

    Can you retards take this irrelevant fucking discussion about rtwp vs turn based to another thread?

    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    The Arcanum comparison is dumb, Arcanum's combat is a completely original system with imbalances built in. It's a house built out of trash. Troika's publisher forced them to add the real time or turn-based (I can't remember which it was originally) system at the last minute too. Troika was a...

    Do their artists really work on just one monitor? I've done a little modeling/texturing just to learn how and even the thought of trying to do that professionally is insane. Spend some of that kickstarter money and buy your team more monitors! Fuck's sake, most gamedev setups I've seen use three.

    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    I just grabbed the English dialog from Kingmaker from the game's data files and isolated just the text. It's about 1,500,000 words. Apparently the industry standard for professional translators is about 12 cents a word, which would come to $180,000, and that's not even getting into editing and...

    I straight up don't care about any of them.
