  1. CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 + Phantom Liberty Expansion Thread

    Cyberpunk 2077 has bad writing because it is written by young, Anglophilic Western liberals who are explicitly trying to regurgitate Cyberpunk media. There's no voice. The essence of Cyberpunk is "Isn't it fun to rebel - and plus, we don't have anything better to do."
  2. Is cyberpunk 2077 going to be good

    Everything not involving gameplay or roleplaying in cyberpunk is good.
  3. What Makes Games Wank - Gaming Contradictions

    It's a lazy conceit, but you need to sell braindead journalists on something. "hey, check out this world, there's cool stuff to see. maybe hang out?" is harder than "HOLLLLY FUCK BRO ALL THIS CRAZY SHIT PEW PEW WOAH STOP THE STATUE, RESCUE CIRI, BLOOD MAGES, CHIP IN YOUR HEAD"
  4. What Makes Games Wank - Gaming Contradictions

    Hm don't you know that having charismatic bad guys whose ideology makes sense, at least prima facie, and leaving it up to the player to examine if it is actually good or not is bad actually?
  5. What Makes Games Wank - Gaming Contradictions

    Fixing Witcher 3's "contradiction" is easy: have cumulative side quests fill up an arbitrary "Clues to Ciri's whereabouts" bar, integrate dialogue into the end or beginning of side quests. Done.
  6. Dragon Age How to Enjoy Dragon Age: Origins

    Honestly the only way to enjoy it was to play it in 2008 or w/e
  7. Linguistic comparison of IE games with Nu-Games

    There's always a tradeoff between using easy to understand words, being concise, and explaining a concept adequately. Probably the hardest skill as a writer is balancing those three and knowing when it is appropriate to lean towards 2 and away from a third 1) Easy to understand + explaining a...
  8. Torment .

    I think Curst is fine and mostly serves the main story well. The Prison is definitely a slog and I would have liked to see alternative ways to progress through it. A modern day RPG would definitely allow you to sneak or talk your past a lot of it or use some magic bullshit or w/e. It's not a big...
  9. So What Happened To All Our Favourite Writers?.

    It's not so much that there aren't good writers - that's the wrong take. It's that good writers are now embedded into an increasingly bureaucratic corporate structures that neuters and de-personalizes writing.
  10. Linguistic comparison of IE games with Nu-Games

    Do Disco Elysium next.
  11. Arkane Deathloop - first-person action game from Arkane set on a time loop island

    The graphics look like dog shit. I think it'll be fun though. Arkane rarely blunders.
  12. Incline The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Wii U and Switch

    The main difference between BOTW and an Ubisoft game is that nothing outside of NPCs is interactable in Ubisoft shit. The "fun" of BOTW is layering the freedom of a typical open world game with how you interact with the open world. Where BOTW gets into trouble is that so much time was spent on...
  13. Stellaris - Paradox new sci-fi grand strategy game

    Paradox is Wasted Potential: The Company. They've been spinning their wheels for 15 years now. Their streamlining and DLC practices are like 10 years out of touch with the rest of the industry.
  14. Stellaris - Paradox new sci-fi grand strategy game

    imagine being retarded enough to buy let alone enjoy paradox games in 2021
