What is that battle on the third day (?!!!) at the Defender's Heart! WHAT IS THAT?! Mommy I fear to play games now.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

steam reviews of bugged chapters are now starting to flow in

(notice they're all roughly within the same playtime)
nobody could have predicted this


Isn't it weird how the game has been reviewed by "professional" critics yet not one of them bothered to mention these things? Almost like they don't actually play the games they review...

Easy - just don't advance to third day.

Is it worth going one level in warrior for my wizard, for the weapons perk and such, or is it a waste? Should I just pick martial later on down the wizard path? Kinda like the idea of my wizard man fighting with a blessed sword in hand.

The only review that matters

They were over the refund time. Why shouldn't they just play it for the lulz after that? Seems like a reddit meme.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

There's a yuge amount of negative reviews ranging from 27-35 hours about being completely unable to continue playing the game due to bugs. So, I'd guess that's about where it starts.

Because you don't play something you don't enjoy playing just for the lulz. Unless you're a fucking no-life lunatic.

Now i feel like proper animu. Murderous innocent lolis

Sometimes you do it just out of spite for the loss of money.

Been there many times

Well, that's sad. Still though, 34 hours of fun with a good PnP based RPG before the bugs get unbearable is better by light years opposed to going to debilitating 2 hours of catastrophicaly demeaning latest 2 movies in the Starwalker saga you could also call bug-ridden (narrative and SW destroying-wise).

Stop it then. Too much life to live for that bullshit.

He didn't say he didn't enjoy it, he said there was unavoidable gay content and he didn't recommend it.

That said, you're wrong even if he were claiming he didn't enjoy it. Ever seen a show called Best of the Worst? It's full of bad movies. Movies you'd never want to pay full price for, but are good for a laugh. Especially if you've already paid for the thing and can't get your money back.

That's how I see this game. If you can get it without paying or have already been suckered into paying, it might be good for a laugh, but it's nowhere near worth full price.

It's a B-movie tier piece of shit.

Perhaps, but you would have "wasted" that time anyway, at least from a shoddy product you get some rage out of it and you can shit-post about it - instead of having it be a total loss. But yeah, I rather just avoid that, save my money and only play good games.

It's pretty impressive how even the negative reviews state that the game is great. Almost like... this will be a legit masterpiece once the worst bugs get solved. A tranny masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

I don't see most characters taking on spiderlady after the revelation (tm). She's obviously deranged and untrustworthy even if you are playing as an evil character. There has to be some kind of video game writer summit in which the problem of evil characters/companions is discussed and regulated because it's ridiculous.

She will remain completely loyal if you're worth it.

I'm sure of that, but the problem is that you don't know this unless you take her with you. Why would you do this, however? She

Spoiler

is a traitor, eats human flesh, lures children to be eaten or converted, admits to wanting to kill/backstab a life-long companion (Lann), and fights you at the boss battle.

Who would say to themselves "yeap, she's trustworthy alright" after that? Maybe an evil character can take her in chains and use magic/drugs or intimidation in order to control her, but that's a stupid decision imo. She hasn't even proven herself to be a very competent fighter either.

She only ate human flesh once, that really doesn't count. The rest she did to amass strength at all cost, something anybody sane trying to organize an army to fight literal hell spawn can relate to. The choice for her was obvious

You're also judging her from a human perspective, even though she's a mongrel.

Just an arrogant PC is enough to take her.

And Hitler gassed the Jews only during WW2, so let's take him in the party too. She worked for the demon cults ...in order to get strength to fight the demon cults? She literally says she did everything because it was convenient for her, there's no altruism here. Good and neutral characters have no reason to take her, while evil characters shouldn't trust her because she's obviously unpredictable and ready to backstab anyone and work for the other evil dudes (your enemies in this case).

Goods shouldn't take her, that much is obvious.

Disagree on the trust part, she's very upfront that she'll stand with whomever is strongest - if you're confident that will be you, you take her. Her behaviour is extremely predictable.

Can anyone find me a single so-called professional reviewer who reviewed this game and mentioned any bugs? Use an archiving service if possible.

I doubt any reviewer played 30+ hours to get to these bugs. Having written one review and one retrospective now, I can kinda sympathize. If you have to churn out a bunch of reviews quickly, you don't have the time and energy to play through the entire game, especially loooong games like CRPGs.

Then the review is worthless.
30 hours is still the intro part of a cRPG.

There aren't many reviews for the game at all, it is uncharted territory.

I did expect the part in beta to be relatively polished (compared to kingmaker anyway) and rest to be broken. It just seems to be the case.

I guess it is best to wait at least a few weeks for them to go through the most egregious or plain gamebreaking bugs first before I commit 40 hours to this game.

Who gets to decide who is strongest, though? What's stopping her from betraying me when we face Deskari and she decides he's stronger? "I stand with the strongest" is an even worse case to make for her.

ikr? this guy saying people are wasting their lives while he sits there thumbing his ass and playing a game for 50 hours just like the rest of them lol.

I learned my lesson with kangmaker, I'll just wait until the super duper ultra deluxe director's developer's cut edition in a year

 

[Stokowski]

How many chapters are in the game,5 ?

if only. 6 I hear
and from what pnp masters say, ch5 has some of the most retarded writing in history (something with discussions on natur of human soul with iomedae or something)

With any luck, they'll have an option like in Kingmaker where you can complete the game without the last chapter. (I did this entirely by accident and was perfectly satisfied by the ending. Couldn't understand all the complaints about the awful combat in the "final chapter".)

Or 30+ playthroughs of PoE 2.
