  1. Review RPG Codex Review: Valkyria Chronicles

    All the characters are fucking terrible. It doesn't matter if the characters are flawed, because all their flaws are straight anime tropes, and their character developments are all anime tropes, and the plot in its entirety is all anime tropes. It is the most unbearably tropy Japanese game I've...

  2. Game News South Park: The Stick of Truth Released

    $60 new release- good incentive to wait for a patch, or five.

  3. Game News Prelude to Darkness Version 1.8 Bug Fix Released

    Would probably be easier to rebuild the entire game with generic assets in NWN2 than to fix all that.

  4. Development Info Age of Decadence on Steam Greenlight

    That promotional trailer is godawful. If I didn't already know what it was, there's no way I would have sat through that. 1 min of splash art with irrelevant background universe lines, followed by trying to make leveling skills on the paper doll look dramatic and exciting. What the fuck. I know...

  5. What's Obsidian up to now?

    Yes, I imagine it would end up a lot like DEHR, but with the ability to choose missions in any order and the missions changing depending on what order you take them. In my dreams, with Obsidian free to work on the stuff they're good at, that part would be ramped way up, plus the entire story...

  6. What's Obsidian up to now?

    Sometimes, when I want to feel depressed, I imagine what Alpha Protocol could've been like if they had another studio working with them so that AP ended up with competently done animations, branching level (map) design, game mechanics, and combat.

  7. Preview Deus Ex: Human Revolution Preview

    Grats CVG, only 2 months after everyone's already played the preview build you're previewing.

  8. On the Folly of Giving Money Directly to Developers

    Oh right. Not even a joke for anyone wondering.

  9. On the Folly of Giving Money Directly to Developers

    That's what happened for Minecraft. For Project Zomboid it was: 1. Paypal freezes account 2. Google Checkout freezes accounts 3. Appease both (they don't allow preorders for something that may or may not be released), by selling randomly hacked together shitty games that "come with" the...

  10. Do you like each NPC to be a named one?

    What it comes down to is that Unique names are a cue to the player that this person is important...but that as the only cue sucks. #1 I would prefer if NPCs had names representing what my character knows about them. Go into a bar, the bartender is <Bartender>; get to know him, he becomes...

  11. Biotards: what's with this potion cooldown shit?

    What is this, the one year anniversary of the Insta-heal potions thread? Just make all potions regenerate instead of insta-heal. In fact, make it a backloaded effect, so the more hurt you are, the slower the regeneration is. Quaff another potion? Refresh the regeneration duration.

  12. The *other* holy trinity

    There is no hard choice. It's FF6. Suikoden is far too diluted with its mandatory 108 characters, even when the main plot is good.

  13. Game News The Witcher 2 Release Date Announced

    Wtf. The subtitle is "Assassin of Kings" and they release it 2 days after the Ides of March?

  14. Neverwinter Nights 3 vs Baldurs Gate 3

    I would take the money, make a game out of the "world shells" concept behind Septerra Core, except not shitty, and call it Arcanum 2. I really loved that idea but man was that game terrible.

  15. First Fallout New Vegas uh "Review"

    You categorized Star Wars as Sci-fi. You already lost -1024398 points in this discussion, but just for the sake of having 20 minutes before getting off work: Star Wars is Fantasy. Period. Part of the reason why Scifi and Fantasy as fictional genres are always placed next to each other is because...
