    Fallout Fallout 3 isn’t as bad as you think...

    Since I only played FO/FO2 several years after they'd been released, I was never really that caught up in the thing of those games being a golden memory from youth, enshrined in the most hallowed corner of my mind, so to me FO3 wasn't essentially all that different from the first two games, nor...

    KickStarter The Wayward Realms - upcoming Daggerfall-like RPG from original Elder Scrolls developers - coming to Kickstarter in May

    The fuck else is he supposed to do? This is a gaming website with gaming news after all.

    The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

    I would agree that the general premise and setup for ToW was pretty good - I mean, that's why I tried the game, because the setting looked cool. I even liked the graphics, with the garish alien life, etc. Where it falls down is, indeed, in the regular flow of lame dialogue and story beats, as...

    Turn-Based Tactics Capes - turn-based superhero tactics from Hand of Fate devs - coming May 29th

    Hmnm, looking at the game being played after a few episodes, the tactical combat looks like it might be quite good, and the main gimmick (the team abilities) still looks like it might be quite interesting to play with. But since the demo the devs have gotten some fick-lipped London nigger to...

    Turn-Based Tactics Capes - turn-based superhero tactics from Hand of Fate devs - coming May 29th

    The YT-er Christopher Odd is doing a playthrough of Capes atm with two episodes so far (he's also doing an XCOM: Enemy Within run atm, which is quite nostalgic).

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    Every stat should have some impact (positive or negative) on everything, pretty much. The only reason it doesn't is because of the constraints of the tabletop inheritance (the thing has to be manageable for a bunch of smart but drunk friends having fun, so to speak), but there's no excuse not...

    Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    Hmm, someone mentioned Ultima ... Swen has said many times that Ultima 7 inspired him to make games. I wonder ...

    Visual culling - is it really difficult to implement?

    That's interesting because you can see it sometimes makes sense not to cut out the visual architecture, but just to have coloured outlines for characters behind the architecture/environment. It makes sense to do it that way if the obscuring architecture is (as it were) closer to the characters...

    Visual culling - is it really difficult to implement?

    Imagine you're playing a game in top down view with free camera, you're looking at your character (who's facing you) down there on the ground. To his left (your right) there's a stand of trees. Now keeping him in view, strafe the camera round until your notional camera is "inside" the stand of...

    Visual culling - is it really difficult to implement?

    When you have a top-down free view view game (i.e. not fixed), it seems to be difficult for developers to do proper visual "culling" (don't know if that's the right term but I'm running with it) of what's directly in the "window" view. (e.g. for example, if there's an architectural object...

    Incline Disco Elysium - The Final Cut - a hardboiled cop show isometric RPG

    I'm no lover of Communism, but it's pretty obvious that even if the developers are Communists, their discussion of politics in the game is intelligent (much as the commentary of older generations of Communists was - one presumes this is the result of a balanced education, as a hangover from more...

    Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - turn-based Warhammer 40k RPG from Owlcat Games

    Yeah that's about the size of it.

    Incline Stellar Blade - Korean mix of DMC/Nier Automata with hot model ass out  on April 26

    People are looking at this through the wrong end of the telescope, IMHO. This isn't a development of late-stage Western cuckoldry, it's a development of the beginnings of the cucking of the Asians. Didn't Japan have something about the first batch of a mass of foreign immigrants being...
