    Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Ehm yeah? The vast majority of Codexers sink 100+ hours into every Bethesda game. Most of people here played the shit out of Skyrim and Fallout 4.

    New Vision replaces most of the textures in the game with high res versions. https://www.moddb.com/mods/new-vision Not to be mistaken with Deux Ex Revision, avoid that one like the plague.

    Deus Ex Deus Ex

    Nah, HR is designed to be played as console cover stealth game/shooter. It's why you have no leaning, shadows, why Jensen is not mobile and is fragile as tissue paper, why he has default health regen etc. Furthermore level design doesn't lend itself to use of weapons like sniper rifle (which was...

    Editorial Chris Avellone: What the Fuck Happened to Bloodlines 2?

    A lot of the draw with PST lies in the very unique/interesting setting but it takes a creative, talented guy like Avellone to make the most out of it. Agree that the game looked fantastic (still one of the best looking games I've ever seen), sounded amazing too for that matter. The music, voice...

    Dragon Age Dragon Age: Origins is ten years old today

    Funny people talking like 2009 was a bad year for the genre. Risen and Knight of the Chalice alone made it very worthwhile, quality not quantity. DAO was very good too, better than the vast majority of kickstarter trash.

    Community Statement from RPG Codex about Chris Avellone

    Indeed, which is why apparently dirty old man Avellone can "feed" them drinks, like they're some toddlers. I prefer treating them as adults, capable of saying no to a drink and bearing equal responsibility if they indeed choose to get drunk with a guy.

    Arcanum Most overpowered builds in Arcanum?

    One of the most OP builds in Arcanum is simply a melee dude with max melee + dodge + backstab and a Stun spell (which doesn't depend on MA). It could be considered boring but boy will you wreck everything, level up very fast too.

    Community Statement from RPG Codex about Chris Avellone

    Women in mid-20s are kids in your world? Pretty low opinion on the whole gender there.

    World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs

    Yeah, but she was still a cute, cool looking college chick type you'd flirt with. She certainly wasn't plain unattractive like she is now. This has nothing to with more realistic graphics approach or some other bullshit excuse either. It's not a deal breaker or anything but no need to pretend.

    The developers who made their living off of id engines in the 90s and 00s

    Run up to them and shoot them in the head and yes, explosives. They're standing still when doing their ghost attack which makes them easy target for grenades which are excellent in RtCW because you can cook them. Either way, they fall down relatively easily as basically everything does in...

    The developers who made their living off of id engines in the 90s and 00s

    Recently replayed RtCW on Death Incarnate, there's no bullet sponge if you don't count bosses/mini-bosses. At any point of the game you can absolutely mow down other enemies with the arsenal available at the moment. Hitscan is there but your weapons are hitscan too and enemies reaction times and...

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the Codex verdict?

    Let's call it run and gun, like Doom or any number of old FP shooters without cover or health regen (Build Engine games, Quake, even RTCW). It's not like you rely completely on strafing in those games on higher difficulties, you still use cover and make choices about weapon selection and target...

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the Codex verdict?

    Of course HR can be beat as an all out shooter without using the sticky cover system, with enough persistence and using all the tools available (cloak and wallhack augs, radar system, weapon upgrades etc.) anything can be done. However the game is absolutely not designed around it, even with...

    Oblivion first time modded or vanilla

    Play it vanilla first so you can experience the original vision of the developers. Don't shy away from the light.
