    Any decent turn based/stat focused space games in the last 20 years?

    I'm hoping Ostranauts turns into this but it's a long way from that.

    SEGA sells Relic

    What Relic IPs? Company of Heroes? Unless they also might still have rights to Impossible Creatures. DoW is probably similarly to Space Marine on the whims of Games Workshop due to their W40k licensing policy those almost 20 years ago. Homeworld went to Gearbox/BBI ages ago. AoE is Microsoft...

    SEGA sells Relic

    Seriously just make a new thread "SEGA sells Relic, cuts jobs".

    In Progress Let's Play: Fallen Gods

    +1 for giving him the "steel be with you (in your flesh)" treatment.

    Mass Effect New Mass Effect confirmed

    No it is not, you're missing the problem of open plot threads and the level of the threat/stakes. This would be closer to something like James Bond killing Cthulhu while knowing all too well the rest of the elder gods wants to come back and eat everyone anyway, with a ton of ancient mystery and...

    Fantasy action RPG from former Dragon Age director Mike Laidlaw's Yellow Brick Games

    Yeah, it looks like WoW with better lighting (raytracing?). And as mentioned the saturated cartoony style has replaced the everything is brown of the late 00s/early 10s quite some time ago. Also it's easier to do, I guess.

    Mass Effect New Mass Effect confirmed

    ME2 musical highpoints for me are (occasionally timestamped): Main problem was the really good parts were hidden deep behind intro sections (now I'm wondering if maybe they were segmented and you can rip the specific segments from the game files, kind of like with ME1....), ME 1 had...

    Mass Effect New Mass Effect confirmed

    Just listen to Vangelis' (blade runner soundtrack in particular, also you can look for John Carpenter's synth soundtracks from the 80s, those were the main inspiration for Jack Wall I think) or some more ambitious synthwave (not the vocal 80s synthpop nostalgia bait one, the ones trying to...

    Mass Effect New Mass Effect confirmed

    After taking down Saren and Sovereign, saving the Citadel and gaining the everlasting favor of the council (preferably by replacing it entirely) there's really nothing they could do with Spectres without going down further the Reaper rabbit hole that would seem as interesting as a follow-up...

    Well paced JRPGS'S, WRPG'S, ARPG'S.

    Ban OP for using the term WRPG.

    Who's alt is this anyway?

    Mass Effect New Mass Effect confirmed

    Nah, they shot themselves in the foot by not planning out the trilogy better in advance. Well that and getting gobbled up by EA. Maybe they should have tried to downscale than chase the AAA rabbit to the point where they needed to sell the company.

    Hellgate: Redemption (Bill Roper/Lunacy Games) announced

    Possibly, I mean it seems they have 3 ambitious projects in the pipeline, the chinamen(?) bankrolling them would need to have a lot of money to burn. It seems like too much too fast for a new studio with 0 actual games released. Bill Roper alone can't possibly inspire that much faith into it.

    Mass Effect New Mass Effect confirmed

    mediocrepoet of course, old Bioware similar to Blizzard was just taking shit they liked and found interesting. But here I think also the long development time on DA:O is why they were late to the party. I mean it was vaporware since I guess NWN was done? And that trailer with the Marlin Manson...
