    Eternity Josh Sawyer reflects on his failures with Pillars of Eternity

    Worst part is that CRPG fans were so desperate to like POE. The hype was in overdrive to an extent we haven't seen since and might never see again. Everyone was trying to like it even when it became palpably obvious it was a damp squib. If ever there was a perfect layup for releasing a safe game...

    Eternity Josh Sawyer reflects on his failures with Pillars of Eternity

    What a ludicrous bullshitter. He's pretending POE hewed close to the original IE games when the latter beat the pants off his shitty games. Maybe he should admit he couldn't match the original games instead of basically saying they sucked for a modern audience so "faithfully" aping them was a...

    Wartales - turn-based mercenary band RPG by Northgard developer - now with Pirates of Belerion + The Tavern Opens DLCs

    Yes, they executed everything within their means perfectly, visuals and artwork included. Don't you agree the framework and mechanics they laid out are a perfect foundation for a high budget 2d CRPG? If a handful of guys can execute such a precise vision why can't a larger team with more...

    Wartales - turn-based mercenary band RPG by Northgard developer - now with Pirates of Belerion + The Tavern Opens DLCs

    It's a very tantalizing prospect to consider the framework of Battle Brothers with spruced up production values though. BB alone does so much right on nearly every front but just imagine it with high resolution 2d Infinity Engine style art, exhaustively detailed and animated sprites, a central...

    Dragon Age Dragon Age: Dreadwolf - full reveal in Summer 2024, Solas fangirls rejoice

    This game will be so gay it will pop out of the monitor and molest underage male family members. After you install Dragonage Dreadwolf none of the icons on your desktop will align straight; your taskbar itself will curve in a vertical fashion. Your Email address will be spammed with so many...

    Rumor: Bethesda has been in turmoil since the death of their CEO

    People are going to end up revaluing Cyberpunk 2077 at this rate. It's sitting on a non too lofty perch as an RPG but somehow still manages to drop a turd here or there on the competition unless you happen to be a fan of the latest Dark Souls itineration or really like Harry Potter. Feels as...

    Most annoying non-obvious things in modern gaming

    Fed up to the core with the millions of indie games raining from the sky in a never-ending cascading shitstorm and splattering all over the PC platform. Instead of a million midwits working on a million equally disposable games it would be nice to see a few decent sized teams working together to...

    People News Chris Avellone wins settlement after lawsuit over sexual assault accusations

    The only thing that could slightly improve nu-Obsidian would be firing their writing team left, right and center then having the likes of Avellone back on a permanent basis. It would amount to an instant recovery of one of their historic strengths which is currently a glaring weakness. Such a...

    Icewind Dale The Icewind Dale Series Thread

    I tried a couple of the more recent NPC mods in my last IWD playthrough until I got bored of it. IWD is just as monotonous as the Diablo2Remake after a while; can only handle strictly hack&slash games in small doses at this point. The voice recordings are still as scratchy as ever. The Genassi...

    Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky say a New Vegas remaster would be awesome

    They'll touch up the game with a few choice Nexusmods textures here and there. Also included will be DLC with a Moonman costume from The Outer Worlds and new skins for your weapons imprinted with the words Slava Ukraini. Prostitutes will be removed from the game but you'll be able to purchase...

    Pentiment - Josh Sawyer's historical mystery narrative-driven game set in 16th century Bavaria

    The freefalling gynocentric culture he's been a part of the last 10 years drained the last whisper of a song out of the poor guys soul. Many such cases.

    Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Feels like the Bethesda formula is finally running its course. Fallout 4 was a terrible miss and ended up leveraging anti-RPG Minecraft crafting shittery of all things to provide some staying power with the Steam plebs. If Starfield goes the same route the other increasingly superficial elements...

    Game News The Outer Worlds gets Spacer's Choice Edition remaster

    Looks like the plebs are falling back to their original beloved "classic" as the "remaster" doesn't seem well optimized. There's a snug consensus you find with Reddit/Steam types that the cancerous radioactive turd called TOW is actually good enough for what it is. The bar keeps getting...

    Redfall - open world vampire slaying co-op FPS from Arkane Austin

    Some nice touches there with the blatant upside down cross and negress vampire adding an extra dose of post-modern decay to Clownworldia Left For Dead. The dead-eyed, medicated hordes who anticipate this title have already had their souls sucked out of them. Only sick and twisted beings not...
