    Yet Another Morrowind Thread

    Finished Dagoth Ur last night, with a save game going back... 5 years or so. Just pecking away here and there, and finally decided to finish that game recently. Think it's the Horators line that just kills all progress. For me, thats the dullest point in the game, but so close to the end. But I...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    That's just it: multiclassing was actually a lot of fun and allowed for some wild specs... at first. Eventually, over time it morphed into a lot of similar class builds, that kind of took the fun out of it. That is to say, instead of a straight cleric like I'd usually play in tabletop and crpg...

    Why do people hate Oblivion so much?

    Why is game development so ineffective?

    Yah - I think maybe shorthand the problem is project management, but bigger picture I agree with you. That is, defining the project and the scope and budget - then as things proceed, staying on that same target even though an accurately produced product just isn't fun OR a big game comes along...

    Why is game development so ineffective?

    Poor project management. From sticking to a schedule, sticking to the scope and goal, and staying on budget. New Vegas came about because there were real, hard constraints. Starfield came about because there weren't any. Even with a substantially larger budget, more resources, and unlimited...

    What drove BG3's success, game mechanics or emotional engagement?

    I haven't played it but from the description and comments around here, it is successful because it's not complete shit, and that's what passes for good these days.

    Matt Chat Thread

    I watched the whole episode. Now I remember why I don't like long conversations with old people. Not nearly enough info about their time in the business, and little to make it worth the 1.5 hour investment. About 3 minutes worth of interesting stuff caught up in all that time. I think Matt...

    Game News Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Extended Gameplay Reveal

    That's what made VTMB so interesting. It was a mixture of the mundane and the vampire mumbo jumbo. Some people took it seriously as a means to gain power (Nines and LaCroix), others went along with it (Strauss), some got caught up in crackpot theories (Skelter and Copper), and the one that knew...

    Game News Phantasie series and other SSI classics released on Steam and GOG

    Yah - that's how it was for Phantasie and why its so damn hard to find a Phantasie disk with the dungeons with the fog of war in place (to bring it full circle.) Thanks for looking. See, I'll bet if they had some Amiga pros on staff they could figure the way to get a user friendly method of...

    Game News Phantasie series and other SSI classics released on Steam and GOG

    C64Forever and AmigaForever are both put out by Cloanto and include kickstart roms and pretty much allow one to play and create profiles for every game in ones arsenal. So if one game uses joyport 1 and another uses joyport 2, you can specifiy that in the game profile and not have to mess...

    Game News Phantasie series and other SSI classics released on Steam and GOG

    Let me know when it's available. I spent about 5 minutes looking for the Demon's Winter manual/reference card to see exactly what was the endorsed method of playing/saving. Couldn't find it - I have physical copy of the game but I'm out of town for a long time - so I couldn't look it up. There...

    Game News Phantasie series and other SSI classics released on Steam and GOG

    I purchase C64 Forever and Amiga Forever every year and have for the past... many years (10?) from Cloanto. It's a damn shame, as for the most part, the only good Amiga rpgs are fancy versions of C64 rpgs - with very notable exceptions. They could also do some single disk Amiga games - such as...

    Game News Phantasie series and other SSI classics released on Steam and GOG

    I've been on GOG a while: do they actually have an Amiga emulated (or Atari for that matter) game available? I don't believe they do. May be that they lack the talent or there is something else at play (licensing Amiga ROMs?) but if they did offer superior Amiga emulated games, like a multitude...

    How many hours did you clock in on Skyrim?

    I have no idea what you are talking about, but that reminds me that one of the floppies on my purchase of Arena was bad - and after calling Bethesda support, they sent me a complete set of replacement disks. Technical support was included in your purchase and everything. Pretty sure they sent...
