What are you playing right now?
Dead Space was a good RE clone, but that's all it was, and that made some aspects good and some pretty bad, like the control scheme. I don't like playing purposely sluggish controls for supposed added difficulty to begin with, but Dead Space straight up ripped it from the RE series. Also, the gameplay was extremely monotonous from beginning to end. The only time I died was during QT events and one other segment. The sluggish controls just ended up making the game play sluggish, nothing else.

The scanning and overabundant cutesy voice acting were personally more irritating than the combat, which simply seems like a slight progression from ME3.

Yeah, that's the sense I've had about it. Like FO4, but in space. Andromeda is going to make people nostalgic over ME3.

Back to mostly reading the forum, too physically ****ed to feel up to gaming. Some time with New Vegas helps via escapism, but eh, hard to enjoy it. Hopefully in a couple of weeks..

The setting for WtM is North America. That automatically makes it more interesting than most RPGs. But, of course, if anyone gets a chance at a Bloodlines sequel, I hope Obsidian gets that opportunity, which is why I'm happy to see another company get the opportunity with the werewolf variant.

Apocalypse Now RPG crowdfunder
Yeah, having "New Vegas" in there isn't the problem, everything else around it is. Simply a poor presentation for the actual game.

Apocalypse Now RPG crowdfunder
It used to say "It's like New Vegas on acid", and just two spaces below "Not free roam, not a shooter, dialogue not important", etc. What an ADD sales pitch. The whole thing sounds like the rambling submission of a fan.

I've been meaning to replay it for a while. Maybe after finishing the games I'm currently on, it will finally happen.

Splitting time between Arcanum, Stick of Truth and popping pain pills, zoning out to Bloodlines.

Yeah. Don't want to interfere with the SciFi trope of borrowing from multiple sources.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
It's a trailer that carbon copies every modern action movie trailer ever released for theaters. It's so exaggerated that I'd assume most people are immune, but play/watch it anyway.

The 2020 delivery date is off putting, as well as the vagueness of gameplay. It just seems a bit ridiculous to ask for payment when there's been absolutely no work done on the game as of yet.

Possible new Obsidian game from Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky using the Unreal Engine
It's fun to keep repeating preferences, but I think it speaks for itself that we'd both gladly play each other's preferred genre. Medieval fantasy is just so overwhelmingly represented that I'd take steam punk for breakfast at this point.

Possible new Obsidian game from Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky using the Unreal Engine
I still think it's going to be more in the steam punk/post apocalyptic realm. So far, no indication of a WoD game whatsoever, but I'd take some urban fantasy, definitely, in first person if I could choose. But really, I just want a Bloodlines sequel instead of settling for something more generic.

Politics 2017
True. It's all about controlling the narrative, something that Republicans are notoriously bad at doing. So bad that it took someone outside of the circle to do it for *them*.

Call of Cthulhu and World of Darkness, quite a one-two punch.

Finally getting around to playing some games with some regularity after spending half of 2016 in and out of the hospital. Playing Stick of Truth again, but the first time on PC. Still fun but buggier than the PS3 version, mainly having audio stutter 80% of the time I play. A shame, but eh, had to be a drawback somewhere. Can't have too much fun now. That's just not allowed.

Russian Hacking Scandal : Why it matters
It does send out an absolutely bizarre message. It's an embarrassingly arrogant argument and part of the attitude that made the left lose the election all on their own. They didn't need any help with that, clearly.

STEAM!
Watch some videos to get the idea of the gameplay. Also look for the few negative reviews and see why it's rated that way.

Politics 2016
That's nothing new. When Clinton was President, he'd hold two press conferences when addressing the globe. The PC, warm and fuzzy version to Europe, no matter how untrue, and then the blunt and truer version to Russia. It was discovered that Russians respect that method more, while Europe just happily enjoyed being told what they wanted to hear.

Hey Obsidian, how about a sequel to Arcanum?
That plus the fact that Boyarsky has said he's currently working on his "dream game". The only logical conclusion at this point is that it's the Arcanum spiritual successor, with whatever grain of salt you want to take that with.

The lack of any decent ending didn't ruin the game for me. Kai Leng did a much better job of that. To be fair, the ME3 had some pretty good bits of story in between the bad parts. Some of them I even found awesome. Both Kai Leng and the catalyst kid were cringeworthy to the core. I played the game after the endgame update, and it didn't bug me. I can't say I was much invested in the story though as Bioware's writing does nothing for me to begin with, so that might be the reason(or maybe I'm just not enough of an insane gamer nerd riddled with 1st world problems to overly care). The extended content wrapped it up enough, so I thought but it should've been there from the start.

I don't blame you. I'd be having some coffee and just staying in one of those rooms far longer than the designers intended.
