RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - CON SEASON
Mamoulian War replied to Blarghagh's topic in Computer and Console
That's a World First! -
Yes I worry about that. I might be in the minority, but the only digital platform, which I am using for gaming is GOG. I can backup everything, I purchased, no worries about losing my account, company getting bankrupt etc. It is simple. If you do not allow me to back up my data, there is no need to do business with you. I have done a mistake of purchasing something long time ago, from the Bioware store, and I lost all access to it, after they got EAten. Not gonna happen again.

Did they really said that?I assumed a port was a given, just a long way off. This is just marketing talk, to force you to buy console version for full price now, and then "surprise" PC version for full price again. They found out that it works with GTAV and now they just repeat and reap the profits. *shrugs* -
It is more like that linear experience is harder to give players choice of recurring spending on micro-transactions And a publishers always want to give players as much options to milk them dry as possible

BattleChasers: Nightwar. I just love the artstyle of the game, the dungeon areas look so nice. Gameplay is pretty good, sometimes to much encounters, but i like the combat system.

I don't get people problem with Beamdog's EE's. Sure they were buggy at start, but what game isn't nowadays. They made ton's of improvements, all additional content is optional and they introduced IE games to new platforms. It's a joy to play them now. Especially Torment. Ps. My favorite improvement is the characters FINALLY can carry missile weapons AND dual wield. My only gripe is only with their NWN:EE, especially the price for the pack with the DLCs, which were free before. The enhnacements are by no means worth the extra price... 50.49 EUR here...

Right after midnight, I have finished my 3rd Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory playthrough. I went for the prerequisites for the True Ending and meanwhile grinded for Platinum Trophy. After almost 240 hours spread over three playthroughs over 5 years, I managed to fulfill all the prerequisites for all trophies. The game is platinuable in much less time required, but I have also tried to get completed as much of the game as possible. Still not 100%, but very close. Probable never get back to it, due to my backlog, but we'll see. The combat is still fun, silly story as well, but as I said it few times before over the course of these 5 years, this game has the most cutscenes in the series, and it feels more like Visual Novel with jRPG elements, than a classic jRPG. And that is my biggest gripe with the game. Sometimes you have to sit out 30+ minutes of talk, to continue the story. There is thankfully skip cutscene button, but I have forgotten a lot of story in the last 5 years, so I wanted to read through it again. So best game so far from the series is Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2. I just hope Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory II, will be closer to mk2 with the cutscene length At the moment 19 Platinum Trophies stretched over 4363 hours of gameplay in last 8 years

The title of the video says it all. But but but, the games are expensive to make, we need to put all the “optional” microtransactions in our games, waaaaah, waaah -

I do not Consider Laymen Gaming hate-leechers. Especially, since one of the guys SkillUp made very good video about the game, and is of oppinion, that the game was not made grindy as an intention to sell the MTX. The other dude thinks difderently though. But still more facts than hate in the video

I wish someone would made the game based on Mutant Chronicles/Doomtrooper PnPs. I loved the universe, and art in the books/cards. IIRC, They were also Swedish RPGs. -
No they don't. They make you do side-quests if you want to have enough XP to progress through the main quest, but the amount of side stuff you're required to do is absolutely in line with any other RPG that has pointless numbers telling players how strong everything is, like The Witcher 3 that Ass Creed Origins and Ody take the most inspiration from.It's unfortunate that these games contain MS, but they existed since, like, Ass Creed 4, were always tucked away in a menu somewhere and there was no need to ever touch them - a feature rather obviously implemented to tick a box that management asked for. Devs seem to realize that making microtransactions mandatory would only lead to a worse game in the end, so all big budget SP titles including them (that I know of) never actually required player to use them. Grinding for 7 hours to get enough XP to progress further in a game, is in my oppinion something more than what I would call optional sidequest content in line with Witcher 3. Or any other RPG I have ever played before. Including some mega grindy JRPGs... https://youtu.be/58eeuSPLAlA

Pathfinder Kingmaker is bigger then Deadfire

I'm pretty sure those are supposed to be thunderstorms, not just rain. Be glad they didn't include the wind's ability to knock your characters prone. I am maybe very strange person, but I would really love to see that mechanic in PF CRPG -
Remember all Final Fantasy 13? Everyone was salty how it is a bad game, because the real game starts 12 hours later. Fast Forward 8 years, and it is now boosted as a game feature :D

Then again, people can only focus properly for like 7hours/day or so (or was it 5?), maximum (most humans don't even reach that), so pulling long hours and then not being able to rest properly might not be doing anyone any favours in the long run. But you sure as hell look dedicated. According to some study in Sweden, which I read sone time ago, when people were doing same tasks at their job for 6 and for 8 hours for the same monetary reward, the results were almost identical. With the people working for 6 hours being more happy/satisfied, because they could spent more time with friends/families. Which means, whether you sit on your ass at work for 6 or 8 hours does not matter, because the longer you work the worse it is to hold your concentration at high enough level for your work tasks being done properly. -
That is for me good enough reason to accept the exclusives. Newest God of War would never exist in current AAA universe in it's current state without SONY backing it. And I rather pay 300EUR for extra console to be able to play such an exquisite and refined game, than to give a single penny/cent/insert_any_random_currency to the likes of EA/Ubisoft/Activision for their "Player Choice" bull**** in lootboxes and other types of predatory Microtransactions. The more such good games are released for the console, the lower is your initial investment in the end.

"SJW" stuff is used a lot in Pathfinder PnP universe. Though most of the time it is not thrown right into your face and hammered into your skull. I have not seen all the literature in PF universe, but compared to some other companies, Paizo's writers can IMO handle these issues much subtly and much better. Also they are not affraid to bringing racism, slavery and even sexism to their books in a way, that it does not incite SJW revolt.

The controls work because the game is running natively in 30FPS and is not depending on precision input. Streaming games is probably the future, because it brings more money to the corporate Molochs, but sooner or later all games developed for streaming platforms will be looking the same. You can say good bye to any genre which cannot exist without precision input, like FPS, Racing, Realtime Startegy, Beat'em'ups, Fighting, Shmups, etc... So all we got for their newest marketing fluff is lower resolution, lower sound quality, lower frame rate, lower variance of genres and higher input latency... I am just happy, that my backlog is vig enough, to keep me entertained for 5-6 more years after this becomes the norm...

Mamoulian War replied to no1fanboy's topic in Computer and Console
If I would want to go Lawful Good Diviner, my choice would be purely for roleplay reason I would pick Necromancy and Conjuration as opposing school, because I would consider all sumonning as a non-good deed. But that's just me If not for Conjuration, my second choice would be Transmutation. Also in PnP PF you do not loose access to oposing school spells. They just need two spell slots for memorizing. Is it same for Kingmaker? If yes you should not worry about Abjuration. You still would have access to Dispel and stuff... -
I just got gifted Battle Chasers: Nightwar. A western take on jRPG! I've seen some let's plays before, I really enjoyed what I have seen. I can't wait to play it myself I just have to finish Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory first

Sighs, if this is true, it would be awesome deal for the owners, but ****ty deal for players. Obsidian will be part of streaming only future, where everything they make will be subject of recurring revenue live services :/ and I can't really imagine anything good comming out of that :/ -
No worries, there will be soon loads of xbox exclusives soon, because they are pushing cloud based game streaming, like OnLive failure never happened. With ongoing war against net neutrality, Soon you will have sweet option to pay for required bandwith and subscription in three months as much as you would normaly pay for new console, which stays yours forever. *cheers*
