    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition - now with turn-based combat

    I went with a two handed fighter, all the 4 cleave skills, glavie with reach, routinely hit 5 mobs a round. So figting trash mobs is quite fun actually. Supported with bard and priest helps with hits. Heroism, bless, prayer, good hope etc etc. I have Valerie as heavy shield tank and then I...

    Games to look forward to in 2024

    Peripeteia - Have been looking forward for this a while. Played the first demo right after I finished Deus Ex 1 so am pretty hyped. Loved that demo. Space Marine 2 - Goes without saying, instant classic. The first was great, and the multiplayer was especially great. Lumbering about, good slow...

    The PS5 and Xbox 2 thread - it's happening

    Yeah in essence sure it's a PS4 Super Pro, but it matches modern displays and audio systems. Which the PS4 does not. Look at the thread I provided, a very large amount of games have support for HDR these days. And every game which got a PS5 patch added in HDR support as well. It's a great 4k...

    WARNO from Eugen Systems

    What a pleb. Not "fun" to play with miliseconds time to kill? What the fuck am I reading. It's the most fun! Every descion matters, one misstep and instantly punishment. Wrong tactics? Instantly exploited. This is the most fun to play a sim heavy strategy game. They have a LOS tool ffs. These is...

    The PS5 and Xbox 2 thread - it's happening

    PS5 have several advantages, but the thing is you need to partner it with expensive gear which is why the mouthbreathers who work in retail here on the codex don't get it. If you have your 1080p HDMI Arc tv from 2010 and think it's very modern, then sure I agree with you, you are to poor to...

    Your favourite games from the dark age of pure shit (2005 - 2009)

    It was rts genres last brilliance before fading away. We still got lots of new games and new IPs in the rts genre. And also some other good games. 2005: Cossacks II: Napoleonic Wars ( an underrated gem, formation fighting with units only moving fast on roads) Battlefield 2 (Project Reality mod...

    Everspace 2

    Thanks for feedback. Will give it a pass then. I have Ace Combat 7 and Star Wars Squadron on ps5 with hotas that I should finish first anyways.

    In CRPGs, simulation IS the DM, and CRPGs are adventure sims

    Another way to look at it is that roleplaying is simply theater. This removes a lot of the definition questions, we all know theater and actors. Tabletop and dungeon and dragons are simply a friend group doing improv theater with rules. Where the players are actors. And actors play roles. So a...

    Everspace 2

    So this is on a 40% discount now on Steam. Is it worth a buy? The upgrade to unreal 5 sounds promising.

    In CRPGs, simulation IS the DM, and CRPGs are adventure sims

    Yeah I agree with this. A "CRPG" where you can't actually get immersed and roleplay is only a tactical game. I think that for rpgs as a genre we must insist on abstraction, at a minimum for the player charcter. A system where you have good and bad skills. But I agree that those skills could be...

    In CRPGs, simulation IS the DM, and CRPGs are adventure sims

    Wouldn't that make looter shooters the ultimate rpgs? Games where they truly have abstracted all gameplay values to symbolic values? You may not like it, but looters shooters are what peak rpgs look like!

    Recommend a turn based, isometric/overhead, full party RPG for me

    I mean, technically, Vagrus - The Riven Realms is a turn based combaylt fully controllable rpg, just with another focus. Anyways its very good, I highly recommend it. Darkest Dungeon games as well, unless I misremembered that one.
