this aint the 1970s anymore grandma. people like to use controllers for their IBM desktop home computers

Controllers are fine for melee action games like souls and series. But for tactical games, they just doesn't work.

I really wanna see the PF:KM port to console. How a wizard or even a sorcerer gameplay would be like...

Swen said they will show gameplay before next E3. If they want to present it at a big show, The Game Awards next week is the only one. (Well sure there are smaller ones like GDC and probably EGX Rezzed and PAX, but eh.)

He will troll us by showing everything but combat.

I used to play the old gold box pool of radiance with an atari controller. my dad saw that and he said "why not use the keyroad?" and I said "its 1988 gets with the times, old man"

From my experience at least half of the people butthurt about 5e is because "mages aren't as ridiculous as before and I actually need to play some other class to be OP as fuck? WORST SHIT EVER!"
Meh in most new RPG games using spells is like gimping yourself compared to auto attack monsters you can build, I would appreciate some OP mages for once
Wizards in 5E still bring ton of utility exactly like previous editions , grease, fly , rituals, you shouldn't see them as pure damage dealer. A pen and paper scenario is not supposed to be full combat. They would only seem weak on a computer game.

DoS2 system is already broken, so saying that is an improvement "over DoS2" doesn't talk too well about DnD. And there is nothing good about WoTC "supervising" the story or anything of the game.

Well he also said the first thing they will show is its combat system.

(That said I'm being prepared for another shot film about the great adventure of Swen the Shining Knight.)

LESS T_T - I mean no offense, but given your reputation for posting news, every time you post in this thread my heart skips a beat thinking you might post some real news about the game - and so I know you're all cool and awesome and all, but please stop playing with my pulse.

Thank you.

French get all the credit for fries
I am really curious about that. I have noticed in the most places they are just called fried potato and nobody really cares about the french. Do you call them that because they were imported to america by the french or what? Also do UK people also call them that? It is very simple meal and it is one of those things that were universally invented by people that got potato in their meals. I assume that it is called that because the French are the gateway for englishmen in to Europa.


PS:Belgium is not a country.

British call them “chips”. Us ‘murcans call them “French Fries” ‘cause we find the French tasteless, and easy to squish.

In Bongland they call them chips.

Yeah, Americans only knew of them from their dealings with France. As Wikipedia puts it
Thomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in the French manner" at a White House dinner in 1802.[13][14] The expression "french fried potatoes" first occurred in print in English in the 1856 work Cookery for Maids of All Work by E. Warren: "French Fried Potatoes. – Cut new potatoes in thin slices, put them in boiling fat, and a little salt; fry both sides of a light golden brown colour; drain."

This doesn't sound like the modern chips at all. More like actual potato chips.
