What are you playing now: The New Thread
Wait, there is B-side? I kinda asumed they chained them together this time around as I already reached one heart, and had to pass another heart barrier. 😱 EDIT. Oh you mean summit, B-side. I have done all of that. Some of the C-sides took persistance, though those were essencially one screen long. I am talking about Chapter 9, which they have just added. It trumps anything from the base game.

Wow, they didn't kid when they said that the final chapter of Celeste will be long and difficult. Seems like I am halfway there. It is a bit too much for my taste. I do enjoy the technical side of the challenge, but it got to the point that on some screens I am not sure what I am supposed to do. Had to check walkthrough twice now. It is telling that I switch to Dark Souls 2 to relax when I can't handle Celeste anymore 😅

Is this news about Pillars 3?
Wormerine replied to draego's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Seems that way. It was mentioned before that Obsidian is working on two projects outside the OuterWorlds, so it would make sense for one of the is Pillars related. Whenever it is straight up PoE3, or if series will take a turn after Deadfire remains to be seen.

Good Old Games still good
Ah! Freespace games. I played them for the first time couple years ago. Brilliant games. Freespace2 is a must play, though I am not sure if it playable without a joystick. The best space combat games I had a pleasure to play up to this point. I find it a shame that most of Space games seem to persue "Freelancer" ideas - I never found those "open world to what you want" games to be ever good. Freespaces did one thing, but they did it rather well. So did Wing Commanders and X-WING games to a lesser degree. I should buy myself a new joystick one of these days. Had to leave my old one behind when I was leaving University.

I know nothing about 2k thrusting habits. I shall quote myself then ask: "Can you read a comment before writing unnecessarly offensive drivel?" PS. [It's not like 2k is more trustworthy] would be a more grammarly competent way of putting the quoted sentence together. PSS. Jim S. likes 2K? I wasn't aware of that [sarcasm: he doesn't]. There are no good guys here. Microsoft in a corporation - the only question is, whenever their business plan includes start making good games or continue not doing that.

After playing Kingmaker..
Wormerine replied to Kilburn's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Yhh, my Kingmaker playthrough is currently stuck right after getting the title to the land. So far, it has been just to grindy to be enjoyable. I would invest an evening, and all I would do, is fight the same enemy composition over and over again. I did return to Dark Souls 2, after bouncing of it hard when I jumped into it right after DS1. Maybe once I feel a thirst for a isometric RPG Kingmaker will have more appeal. Deadfire sated my apetite... until Disco Elysium comes out that is. That one looks interesting.

Obsidian is hiring Unity programmers - new isometric game?
200 eh? They grew quite a bit since pre PoE1 crisis.

Blackwood Hull
There were plenty of complaints about it from people who considered “crit path” the only content worth doing: so port Maje-Neketaka-Hasongo-Ashen Maw-Ondra’s Mortar. It is beyond my comprehension but there were plenty of complaints who dismissed everything else as “side content”, and therefore not worth doing. from patch notes:

What games do you have the most nostalgia for?
Oh boy. Some real gems in here. Asterix: The Arcade Game Spy vs Spy Rick Dangerous Alladin Prince of Persia Flashback English with Rayman 😊 Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (german dubbing because...?) Tomb Raider 2 Pharaoh (Dubbing PL) Ancient Domains of Mystery Baldur's Gate 2 (Dubbing PL) Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink (Dubbing PL) Tony Hawk's Pro Scater 2 Colin McRae Rally 2 There is also UFO: Enemy Unknown and Another World, but nostalgic part is watching my brother play them. Didn't play them myself until years later. EDIT: Add Witcher1. Some memories, playing it at nights onlyon a borrowed laptop during my freshman year in Uni.

Blackwood Hull
So people won’t complain that game has no content, while not visiting majority of of games locations. That way player either has to engage with the faction or explore for the hull. I believe you can buy the hull itself in the undead isle. I,don’t think steam stores old builds, like gog does.

Phoenix Point, the next game from X-COM creator Julian Gollop, now on Fig
As I don't have access to backer beta, my viewpoint is not very indepth. I don't worry about diversity and stuff like that - I assume, that kind of content in the beta is as barebone as possible. There seem to be a lot of balance problems, with some skills requiring serious attention, if not a redesign. I am not convinced there is underlying issue with core systems just yet - but major balancing needs to take place. A lot of things feel like they are a placeholder right now. Destroying weapons seem to be a sure way of disabling enemies/your soldiers. That needs to change, either by making the "destruction" less permanent, or making it more difficult to destroy a weapon. From what I understand, they locked content and put everything together fairly recently. Now they have time until December to polish, squish bugs, balance and iterate. I still remain positive.

The Kickstarter Thread
I like what I see in Solasta. I threw a modest pledge and will see how it will turn out. So far I have been lucky with crowdfunding.
-
Phoenix Point, the next game from X-COM creator Julian Gollop, now on Fig
Still looks quite promising. So far world map is more static then I wish it would be. Hopefully there are still stuff missing.

Obsidian now works for Microsoft and Xbox, so let's crap all over on Microsoft and Xbox
I never owned a console. I can’t think of a Microsoft game which I would want to play, while there are quite a few games on Sony and Nintendo platforms which I would be happy to dip into. Just recently was finally able to play The Journey via Epic. Lovely little title. When it comes to games, Microsoft’s record isn’t great. Let’s just hope their recent purchases show an intent to change.

RAND0M VIDE0 GAME NEW5
I do like a lot of added feature. In previous build I struggled to find reason to use it. With new features, I started using it as default, as it makes sorting, tagging and searching for game much easier. I really like being able to save seperate settings for different lists, be it all games, or installed games, or game from particular platform.

Wormerine replied to sasaky's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Corrected. Sorry, it has been 3 months since I played PoE. Things become blurry.

Pre-Order
Oh, you don't need to remind me of it. My first year at the university, and first money earned. I bought collectors edition of Dragon Age. I was greeted with a merchant in my camp bugging me to buy a crappy DLC, in a game desperately starving for a quality side content (or quality content in general, after opening chapter). I have been more cynical ever since. But as other mentioned, it is Privite Division who is publishing Outer Worlds, not Microsoft. Not that 2K is more trustworthy, then Microsoft, but if publisher will have negative influence on OW it will be on 2K.

Any Chance of Pillars Of Eternity III?
Wormerine replied to Stardusk78's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
- Pre-Order
I doubt Microsoft had any influence on the project - the buyout happened deep into OW development. New projects might reflect their influence but not this one. OW is still done under Privite Division umbrella - afterall it was 2K who sold their Privite Division games to Epic. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-03-20-epic-games-store-line-up-expands-with-private-division-more-ubisoft-titles-and-quantic-dream-exclusives OW looks great. Luckily, it doesn't seem I will have new PC in time for it's release, so I will patiently wait for a wider store release.- help please, Nearest character to interact
Wormerine replied to sasaky's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Yeah, it can happen. Fighter's "bash" "knockdown" ability should allow your wizard to disengage safely. There are also quick spells which can give you protection before you attempt to move away. Don't be afraid to take a disengagement attack to the face - you should be able to survive it.- help please, Nearest character to interact
Wormerine replied to sasaky's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I struggle to understand you. As the player character leads conversations, when you have a group selected he will be the one to come closer and initiate the conversation. If your main is a squishy character, you can initiate conversations using other party members, by manually picking whom you want to approach the enemy. Otherwise you will get... cakes?- Stuck in temple of revelations
Wormerine replied to ArnoldRimmer's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)After you complete first wing (be it library or the prison) and enter back into the hall a story even occurs. There should be something above the fountain you can interact with. Afterwards the doors will open. - Pre-Order
