  1. Why is Fallout New Vegas considered good?

    It is indeed "that good shit" However, objectively FO3 still has the best designed open-world in the franchise.

  2. Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    I will say, the camera manages to remain consistent even in the most unfavorable circumstances. Just wonder how Capcom is still making high-tier indie titles after the kazillion dollars they made off of the RE remakes and their She-Male Jill Valentine. Basic components are missing yet they went...

  3. Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    People actually defending this slop. I break into a rando's house, steal shit. There's no response. I go to do a quest "it's reactive". Why even bother? And there's around 4 or 5 enemy types. Not sure who this was aimed at besides people who were adamant fans of the Shadow of the Colossus...

  4. Hogwarts Legacy - Harry Potter open world action RPG prequel set in the late 1800s

    For a first serious effort from a company, it was a pretty fucking solid first outing. My anticipation is for what they could improve upon with a sequel. Avalanche definitely comes across as a company that has the potential to be a powerhouse in the AAA market with enough experience under their...

  5. Clockwork Revolution - inXile's steampunk time travel first-person action-RPG led by Chad Moore and Jason Anderson

    Looks like a better Bioshock: Infinite, I'm game.

  6. Vapourware Unknown Realm: The Siege Perilous - an 8-bit RPG for PC and Commodore 64

    126k pissed away, and the people responsible won't be reprimanded in any sort of way outside of social ire.

  7. New Kojima Game.

    I legitimately think Kojima fans are all afflicted with the same mental disorder and it has to include some sort of disillusionment to who Hideo Kojima actually is and the quality of his works. Then again - to continue to idolize someone who created Death Stranding is a feat of loyalty in of...

  8. Urban Strife - turn-based zombie survival RPG

    It'd be subverting expectations for this to actually be released and not become vaporware.

  9. Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming Fall 2024

    Well, the graphics are certainly pleasing - at least from an art design standpoint. Interested to see if the first person melee combat is serviceable.

  10. Incline Heads Will Roll -- AUTHENTIC MEDIEVAL DATING RPG

    Liking what I've played thus far. The dating sim-esque stat raising has always been a bit monotonous to me, but I'm willing to compromise since there aren't too many games like this.

  11. KickStarter Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy - BG1-inspired low fantasy RPG From the ATOM TEAM

    Seems promising. Low fantasy is definitely my preferred sub genre, if for no other reason but the over saturation of muh dark evil overlords and elf oppression.

  12. Rumor: ELEX 3 cancelled, Piranha Bytes to be shut down by THQ Nordic

    Unfortunate, but they've never been a financially viable studio. They've made one decent title, one good title and...Gothic 3. Played Elex 1 and was mildly disturbed at the lack of NPC reactivity in contrast to Gothic 2 (you can hang about in someone's house for hours as the NPCs scream...

  13. The Problems with Good-Playthrough in Many RPGs... Your Thoughts?

    There's no downsides outside of what your subjective tastes are. Realistically, if you're expecting a wildly variable difference playing a good character versus an evil son of a bitch, then also expect the developer to have enough money to make two games. Until that reality exists (which it...

  14. KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Dan Vavra's medieval chad simulator

    Uncompromisingly accurate, hilariously janky. Enjoyed my time with this game. The C&C was nice, however, not communicating to the player that certain quests are timed and others are not is objectively poor game design. Anything where you have to look up something arbitrarily on the interwebs to...

  15. Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    Game has the same issues I have with every Larian/Post-BG1 Bioware game; it's all insufferable tongue and cheek. Doesn't matter what the context is, it's all light-hearted and good "jolly ole' fun!" It just gets old. As an overly long addendum to that, I can't tolerably stand the Forgotten...
