Ahem, Juan_Carlo , whatcha think about the game?
Fallout 3 syndrome I guess.
Congratulations for discovering Steam reviews I guess.
Killing children is bad, mmkay? Children are capable of working in sweat shops, so you'll be wasting a perfectly fine workforce.
Meh they break too quickly.
The way Solasta does it is a lot better than bg3. bg3 just means you get advantage/disadvantage and maybe have to walk or jump to get around an elevation. In Solasta, it is actually a unique strategy that some enemies have and it sets them apart based on their abilities. It's done much better than bg3. When verticality comes into play, it really makes you feel like your fighting on the enemies terms, in the enemies playing field. There's still an entire undead castle where vertacality doesn't come into play because undead can't climb or fly. Goblins are still goblins, and those battles will play out how you expect them to.
I think it is a selling point and it's not a gimmick. Don't get it wrong, for the most part, you'll be fighting like in a regular dnd game. Vertacality just means that when a flying enemy comes into play, you'll have to think about the battle differently, and when you're attacked by spiders they can surround you and attack you form above; it adds variety to enemy strategies. This feels like a natural progression of 3d TB games, and I think from now on I'll expect it from other 3d TB games; this game probably won't be, but should be a genre defining game. Whether the game turns out to be good or not, this should be expected of other studios from now on, especially ones with 350+ employees who obviously have nothing to do so they're looking for anything to add in. Makes enemies act unique instead of mostly being an hp bar with a varrying amount of hp, ac, and potentially spell slots. It's actually really disapointing that a game with as much funding and employees as bg3 is just using its money to add mocap sex scenes and higher textures when a small studio of struggling devs is trying to bring the genre forward. I truly believe that this is a natural progression of 3d TB games and it says a lot about the current gaming industry that all the new ideas are coming from indie games and small studios.
This guy sounds unbiased.
larian is shit, I know they're shit, and it's so overwhelming that it will probably always find a way to leak into my comments. I can be a bit more forgiving of the shortcomings of a small studio than a huge company that decides to fuck around with beloved series. Especially when combat is the big thing I'm looking for in these types of games, and Solasta is actually bringing much-needed features into the genre. If their execution turns out to be bad, hopefully, the ideas they showcased and proved work can at least survive.
I don't have SS installed, so screenshots are from the internet, but it's much more than that. E.G., if you happen to be on the second floor and the enemy is on the first you can just blow the hole and shoot enemy from above.
Alexander Mushilin is the real hero of crpgs right now. The only reason Josh Sawyer and Swen dumbfuck get more attention is because they decide to try to force their personalities onto us in their updates. They both try to attract people easily influenced by cults while Mushilin works in the background doing his actual job, not trying to be the face of the company. They all try to be like Todd Howard; have people buy the game because they like his personality, rather than the game itself. Hype men and nothing else
Here's a question, does 5e still allow Assplomancers? Seems to be the type of buildbLarian would go for.
