Tentacles? Now you are just teasing. Japan market awaits. Sum up: TPP, Dating Sim with guns, one big planet open worldy, some futuristic hub, seriously sf, maybe colonization terrtaforming mission, alliens, vampires, GOTY Maybe the direction should be into transhuman vibes, a lot of ascendet gorillas, sapient cyber octopuses (so tentacles), nano swarms. Game when you can play as nano swarm. The challenge would be to create normal physical world and infosphere and some relete them to each other with abillity to jump in and out. That would be something.

TPP sure why not, some action elements, ok why not. Could be space. Could be vampires in space. But cant agree on romance ban, games need some love. And what is the point of having alliens if you cant have third grade contanct with them, huh?

On Humble Bundle there is a Sins of the Fallen Empire for free.

It seems that recent MS position is "PC Windows is just another XBOX" which is overstatment, but as long as there are games on PC i do not complain. MS recently bought a few studios, and when it comes to general action, motosport, shooter, zombies, casuals, they are already covered. Have some empty spots in strategy and crpg. Cant tell how greedy is MS model, it seems that problem with Recore or Sea of Thieves was that games was just bad(buggy) and boring. I dont mind some light action elements (Witcher style), however more tactical aproach is nice variety. If OE and Inexlie could alter this two subtypes, that is good. PoE3, Newer Vegas, Vampire Requirem, Freespace crpg, Beta Protocol... that are some decent ideas for games, even if not all of them are isometric tactical. The reign of Lord Gaben will end one day, and new kingdoms will emerge to seek their glory, as long as they do not force some drm, client or other intrusive processes it is something to get used to. Being able to play either on xbox or pc with one key that would be something.

There is a subscription service on origins but paying for it isn't required for using origin as a digital platform. I havent used it yet, however Origins service as option i view as possitive, there may be ppl who may like it. In fact it could be good aproach how to publish B games. You pay subscribcion of selection of them, and can try them, and at least some of them will be worthy fee. That is pro consumer aproach. Like netflix for games.

One thing to look at multiple digital distribution platforms is that they could stimulate competicion, and maybe better service or offering something extra GOG: no drm, no client, old games otherwise hard to get Origins: subscription service (it is something) Uplay: we make games on our own Maybe MS could offer something.

The cool thing about gog is that you can download from bowser and do not use any client anymore for months of playing. Which is great for SP game. Not much experience with MS shop. I am not in favour of forced launch clients leaching my cpu power. It does not improve playtime. And sometimes they mess with custom shortkeys. I see the point why other publishers should care about valve wellbeing, not their bussines. And will to keep digital copy fee for themselves is logical.

PoE3 need to happen. And even newer Vegas by Obsidian. But if after that some Freelancer game will happen i will not complain. When it comes to space + crpg we are running on fumes. And Vampires, more vampires who do not suck.

It is possible that MS will use Obsidian to make our own Witcher for new XBox console, system seller and all that stuff. Some ppl will enjoy it ( they like this witcher formula especially if supported with budget) The last part of trilogy PoE3 is promising enought, and is more ikely now. There keeps reapearing new isometric crpg of various devs, ufnortunely active pause is less common, and some of them are interesting enought. As long as there will be any crpg, story driven games, some of them have a chance to be very good. Generally we never had anything, so it is hard to feel the loss.

Good luck in the new herd. Roll forward like the rock. So when new awesome games will be announced, hmm?

I do not feel like M$ is very bad publisher. EA is famous for killing studios to the degree it seems they planned it all along. Ubisoft seems to trying to be better than ea with various effect. Paradox is ok (so many dlc) but smaller Sony is ok, but focues on own platform so less good for pc users. Activision, focused on game as service. Maybe not Asians in general, make a bit different games, and are more into mobile. Not perfect. Take two is good, but may have limited resources. So M$ is not bad.

I finished it, and in many ways it is exacly what i expected. So good enought. The whole idea of the game is ok. Some sidequest, some main quest, companions. Factions are made definetly better, it is way to go. The tone of the game is ok for me, since pirates of deadfire generally are humourous and drunk. General mechanic, multiclassing and progression is fun. Nitpicking: need more stuff. More options to roleplay, like abillity to be greedy, insidious, cruel, knowledge hungry, passionete, lustful, drunk... like roleplaying pirate with drinking problem. In the end i am not sure if Watcher really mattered in main quest, if i just let it go it would be fine as well. Tell Tale syndrome. More medium size dungeons locations, like Vampire Island (or Roderik hold) long enought to sunk in, but not too long before it gets boring. Maybe after Deadfire resolution there will be part 3, where we could really shape the world.

GoG has some too, but steam as well. Some polished games are always good. May be related to the aniversary of end of WW1, it was rebirth for some of middle easter european countries. In the meanwhile there is another humble bundle for the emperor and warhammer games: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/warhammer-bundle?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_twos_tile_index_2

I suppose this Diablo Immortal will be immortal cash cow. If someones enjoy mobile games good for him. Hearthstone was fun to some degree. But it could be disappointment for players wanting for game with more interaction than mobile could offer.

So Legolas after this whole ring heist came back to killing monsters for coin and lembas. Legit. Time to reveal untold story about elf with two bows, one silver for trolls, and the wooden one for normal orcs.

There is a humble bundle sale with Shadow of Mordor (first one) and Batman Arham Origins for like 1$. Not a bad games i heard. https://www.humblebundle.com/games/wb-games-classics-bundle?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_twos_tile_index_2 And if you ever feel disappointed with another AAAA cRPG it is time to take control, and makeyour own rpg. Almost like final fantasy. RPG Maker bundle https://www.humblebundle.com/software/degica-software?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_2_layout_type_threes_tile_index_2

Does anyone has an insight or track what is history of M$ and acquired studios, did they end well? If M$ just want the tools and titles to promote Xbox and Windows, but giving studios general freedom as long as title will reach profit, that could fine.

I hope Pathfinder Kingmaker will do well enought so they decide to make another one. The more crpg the better, higher chance of some of them will be really good, or will suit me. Pathfinder is solid franchise. And there are some good memories with DnD in video games. What now can i say is that it looks decent (graphically and design), and the amount of text is ok. So that is a good sign,

Chanter is kicking ass when it comes to buffing and support, but it is not exacly definition of strong. Suport class are useful, but not exacly strong. Same tank. Some classes can have a couple useful abillities, but rest meh. Like ciphers, charms or amplified wave or borrow instick are fine, just there is not much left. Sometimes it is less about power, but more fun or options to play. Which class is mostly disappoiting?

I care less about the best. There will always be some ultimate build. MC DPS could combine galsscannon from two classes, and relay more on party healing while taking more and giving more to enemies. Also can combine two support classes for more versalite support. A bit different role it is. Monk, Paladins, Barbarians are also ok as single class. I care about the Cake. Which is some reason to play class,or single class. It dont have to be the best, but viable, interesting, and somehow appleaing. For MC vs single: Talent at tier VIII to use double enpower per encounter. For Martial classes talent to get Zeal on Kill (also for fighters or rogues), so even if you single class you still have enought resource. Other option is to give more resource at tier VIII like +3 zeal. The MC could use two pools which generally gives more, so single class also need an option to have 18 resouece. Lower by 1 level of tier VIII and IX, they will come early and you will sea them in play longer. More Neutral talents, so even if you are single class you have enought options. The worst thing is to have level points, but nothing to spend it on. In some classes buff less used abillities, buff Priest, and parts of CIpher, the thioing with cipher is that there is only a couple good powers anyway, so you are not missing much if you spend 7 points of powers. Generally we already had nerfs, so now is time to buff.

Stellaris, it is 4X game in spaaace. Have a step learning curve at start, to understand all the ropes, but then... a lot of fun in building the greatest of all empires.

15 floors? That is a lot of content, and it could be hard to keep it consistent, and not feel like fantasy safari. Also that gives only 1 resolution, so player could forgot what is all about. Very dominant over whole gamin. Other aproach: 4 medium size 3-4 floor dungeons on different character levels. Each with some story and resolution. Such aproach should come more naturally. Easier to mesh into world, like having caverns or ruins on some islands or other stronhold. One thing is savege sewage in Neketaka ormore Catacombs. So if player get bored with all exposition and talk quest could just go kill something .

I support the massage to give sidekicks more text, flavour and oil them up, so they could fit to party smoothy. Even the simple conceptcs have some value, if we want to avoid all goodlike party, or everyone has a mysterious past and is demon lady.

On humble bundle you can get free copy of Shadowrun Returns, which is not the best part of trilogy (Dragonfall brings more Glory into plot) but free is good discout.

Stun is fun. Also gap closer for melee is always good. Even better if you are unbroken. So in some situationals it is ok.
