Wormerine

I am playing as a Quanari so we will see. I am going pretty blind into the game (outside knowing it's.. MMO influences) so we will see what companions will there be to romance.

Overwatch going free-to-play only worries me of how much they will milk this patch/sequel.

Within 12 months if the showcase is to be believed. edit1: Nah, that doesn't include Silksong edit2: it does according to final montage

Yaaaaaaas Sinksong! Edit/ "play day one on gamepass" but WHEEEEEN?

Started Dragon Age: Inquisition. So far I am enjoying it much more then I expected though I didn’t get too deep yet (just founded Inquisition, and am departing to the first area of the game, that I heard bad things about). Cutscenes feel very junky (low FPS lock?, lots of pop in), and combat I feel will get very awful but then again those ar DA staples by that point. A lot of callbacks to previous games that even don’t feel too much like fan service. Lilliana’s VO still feels like the actress struggles to read the script - I wonder if it’s the weird French accent she has to do. The new Seeker companion seems to have a little bit of the same clumsiness in her delivery.

Old yeast?

Cutting edge 1992 Flashback, gets not so cutting edge sequel:

Me getting competitive for no reason? Never!

hahaha! I got email yesterday, and literally the first thing I did after returning from work is check if they posted something more publically and if you shared it before me

Oh, Tactical Adventures confirmed that 3 remaining classes will making its way to Solasta at some point in the future: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1096530/view/3359135585361365526

Or even If it will happen. I don't know what is the policy but for some people devs seem unable to confirm intention of releasing on GOG. It happened to me that I bought a game on steam assuming there will be no GOG release, only for the game to pop up there couple hours/days later. They lost couple full price sales from me like that.

The problem with GOG is that it is all nice and well but I own at least two copies of Isolation already. Not gonna rebuy it on GOG. Not being able to get bigger releases day 1 really hurts them, I think.

Box has always been in the game - it’s the thing Shadowheart has. The game just gained ways to make sure you have the box.

What if that boi is Henry C.? I saw you have seen my first impression thoughts over at Larian's forum. After thinking on it for a while longer - I just think this is a wrong use of reactivity. Reactivity should "react" to player's actions decisions - create an illusion that game reacts to choices the player has made. This doesn't do that - this works hard to cancel players actions. It's the same thing they did with Godwoken prince in D:OS2 - yes you can kill him, even have a choice to let him live or kill him, only for the game to retcon it multiple times because he is story critical. The end result is that there is "intended" way of progressing - even by Sven admition some solutions don't work very well and I personally haven't experience the very silly ones.

Owlcat doing 40k RPG.... is potentially compelling. I am not a 40k fan, but I enjoyed some of the games. I do wonder how it will holdup without spectacle - when I think of 40k this is mostly what I think of, chainsawing orcs in Space Marine, bloody clash of armies in Total Warhammer or Dawn of War. Not sure how much there is to the setting outside of that.

40k dating sim?

I am sure that’s a great conversation starter.

Nostalgia is strong with this one:

A third of PS first-party releases are to make their way to PC by 2025 and Returnal might be coming to Steam, if SteamDB listings are to be trusted. Shipbreaker came out of Early Access and is as entertaining as it was when I first played it. Still some wonky physics. Hitman3 got Ray-tracing mode if one fancies cutting half to two thirds of their frames. I will take 144 FPS over 40-50 FPS, thank you.

My Stellaris experience usually goes like that - I install it, buy bunch of extra content that was release since I last played it, then I play it for couple evenings, get distracted, try to return to it, but can't remember what is what and where, and why. I spend one session just trying to recall what I was doing, get frustrated, uninstal the game and wait for the next cicle like that.
