    Game News The Waylanders Released

    Personally I don't care as much about the coupe of uses of the term 'they' in that quote (I don't get my panties in a twist over silly things like that, even though I understand that pandering can be very annoying) as I do about the fact that the writing is just of shit-tier quality in...

    Gothic Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos mod for Gothic 2

    Had no idea this was dropping today, pretty fucking hyped. Unfortunately I'm doing a completionist run of ELEX right now, and I don't wanna overdose on PB jank. The two things I'm looking out for the most is the bugs and the translation. So far I noticed the achievement descriptions on Steam...

    Might and Magic The Might and Magic Discussion Thread

    Hmmm, I'll give it a shot when I get a chance. I can modify the GOG launcher scripts/shortcuts just fine to run staging, but you're right, maybe renaming the .exe helps if WAW is looking for the process name first rather than the title of the window handle. If the thing was open source it would...

    Might and Magic The Might and Magic Discussion Thread

    Has anyone managed to get the Where Are We tool running with a non-standard version of DOSBox? I tend to use DOSBox-Staging these days because it has integrated support for Munt and Fluidsynth, pixel-perfect renderers and has upgraded to SDL2. However, I cannot get Where Are We to detect any...

    Game News The Dark Heart of Uukrul released on GOG

    Accidentally discovered that they just released this when I wanted to check if GOG had Dark Earth available but accidentally typed "dark hea" instead and saw this pop up. The bad news: no, GOG doesn't have Dark Earth for sale. But at least they're now selling this classic, which might actually...

    Who's played Pillars of Eternity 2 turnbased mode?

    I played through the entire game in TB mode. I liked it better than the RTwP combat, but I'm also not a huge fan of RTwP, so take that with a grain of salt. I think the biggest issue is that most of the encounters were simply not designed for the turn-based system, and it sometimes shows. The...

    Codex Review RPG Codex Review: Pathfinder Kingmaker

    So this review comes out AFTER the Definitive Edition has been released, but does not discuss the turn-based combat at all? C'mon. Couldn't you have just postponed this review by a few weeks in order to take the TB mode for a test drive at least? We're already two years late here... (Still...

    Game News Necromunda: Underhive Wars releasing on September 8th

    I just finished Mechanicus, that was pretty fun. Seems like a pretty generic game at first, but the cognition points do add an interesting twist. It does the setting justice as well and has a killer soundtrack. Armageddon is a pretty fun, if standard wargame, and Gladius isn't half bad either...

    Game News Othercide Released

    I had this one on my radar, hoping that it would at the very least be a decent or moderately entertaining game.

    Game News Mechajammer Kickstarter Update #27: New Title, Beta Updated

    Yeah, Copper Dreams was such a cool name for a game, however, it was pretty clear that the game did not have a finalized artstyle up until this point. I mean, I was ok with the previous low-fi 3D style, but it looked as if those were always just placeholder assets. I wonder if the change in...

    Game News Obsidian's next big RPG is Avowed, a Skyrim-like set in the Pillars of Eternity universe

    I said a few days ago that I'd probably buy a follow-up to POE2 if it moved further in the direction of that game (better turn-based combat, more focus on exploration, sticking less to pure BG1 worship). This is not exactly what I meant though :outrage:

    Good less talked about RPGs

    The three games by Rad Codex (Voidspire Tactics, Alvora Tactics and Horizon's Gate) are all really fun and they don't get mentioned often enough I feel.
