    Deus Ex Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

    With DLCs it's actually not that short anymore. You integrate those in the main game and it makes for longer game (no shit, I know). The prison DLC is quite good. The bank DLC mission clearly was supposed to be in the main game and shamelessly ripped from it.

    Diablo 2 just turned 20

    20 years later, the core gameplay elements that made D2 what it is now, are still the standard of diablo-like arpgs (PoE, etc) Not just the combat, but things like itemization prefix/suffix system - no one in 20 years has yet to come up with a better system. That's insane. I miss the times...

    Mass Effect Legendary Edition remaster trilogy

    I have a love/hate relationship with ME/ME2 (havent played ME3) The concept is so promising, it could've turned into some very good games. But execution was just bad. And yet, some parts (namely, crew background/interactions/missions) kept me playing it. ME1 - closest to rpg. Main story is meh...

    Deus Ex Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

    Pretty ironic that I was playing MD during lockdown and now the events here in big cities in US seem somewhat familiar :neveraskedforthis:

    Serious Business - Is Dishonored better than Thief?

    What you're saying is true for most modern games though. A lot of newer Hitman games shove the different ways to approach things in your face. Same with Deus Ex. I get what you mean, exactly. That Lady Boyle mission you mentioned, the NPCs are random so it's random who will tell you everything...

    VirtuaVerse - cyberpunk pixel point & click adventure

    Well, that one had animation by the bum and one of the dialogue options with the bum to hint you. But yeah, I also did it backwards like you did, and it also jarred me that the expectation was that people would get to the shop first. It's not that uncommon in adventures though. The story doesn't...

    VirtuaVerse - cyberpunk pixel point & click adventure

    Unless the puzzles start really ramping up, I dont see it reaching Resonance level of difficulty. Puzzle solutions are certainly more obscure than Thimbleweed park though, where to me the most challenge was usually trying to solve a problem that would only be solvable after a trigger. I can...

    VirtuaVerse - cyberpunk pixel point & click adventure

    I only played for like 30 mins before going to sleep, but so far the puzzles are somewhere in between Technobabylon and Primordia. So not even puzzle-heavy, really. The writing is slightly wacky (sometimes hits the right notes, sometimes falls flat), the atmosphere is dead on what I want in...

    VirtuaVerse - cyberpunk pixel point & click adventure

    I'll say this. I always thought "rebuttal" reviews are retarded. It shows a review really, really triggered whoever wrote the rebuttal. Usually those are done by shills or fanboys. Imo GoG was right to remove your review...keep your comments in review comments and your review should be a review...

    Puzzle heavy and cyberpunk ? Bought.

    Adventure games for history lovers

    The Last Express is an amazing game that should be played by everyone...THIS is where the gameplay in adventures shouldve gravitated towards, instead of fake telltale choices on topic, all the Sherlock Holmes games put together make for a nice map of London and I'm pretty sure I can tell the...

    Bloat sucks

    There is a middle ground somewhere between one shotting a blue/rare mob and taking 15 seconds to kill it. of course they made some rares stronger through league mechanics and then overall, but overall player power creep means youre still one shotting shit in all but endgame boss situations...

    Decline What is the worst example of decline you have ever seen?

    I have to go with this as well. Not only did FO3 completely shit on the original fans, its popularity made casual gamers think of FO3 every time someone mentions the brand/IP. Which, while helpful to weed out retards, is still fucking tear-inducing.

    Bloat sucks

    It's funny mentioning ARPGs, because in Path of Exile the opposite is kinda true- for most of the game and endgame, youre one-shotting trash mobs that might as well be garbage or ants. And it's not too appealing to me. There is little to point to hundreds of monster types with different attacks...

    Serious Business - Is Dishonored better than Thief?

    Thief is the gold standard of stealth games, and it will take some juggernaut niche game focused purely around stealth to ever beat. Lightning and sound play a huge role in Thief, and I don't think this is interesting for modern gamers. I like dishonored games, mostly due to level design. Ive...
