Mamoulian War

Well, too late. IIRC, from original Bioware staff, there are like 2 people still working at EA. All others have left long time ago... Correct me if I am wrong.

I play Tales of the Rays and it is pretty solid time waster and the business model is nice. By questing, you can get a lot of premium currency for free. And you can support that way your weapons. A lot of special events where you can done stuff for half the energy. If you enjoyed some older Tales of games, you might enjoy playing with some of the characters comming back.

Nioh Complete Edition announced with all three DLCs. http://www.siliconera.com/2017/09/24/nioh-complete-edition-announced-comes-three-add-dlc-bonuses/ In Japan only for now. Hopefully we will get it in the west soon, too.

2K Games pressures The Sixth Axis web for their NBA 2k18 review (3/10) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeZB8z1vQ2w

Big Business can suck walruss nuts. If the game has DRM, they get no sale. There is enough developers and publishers like CD Project Red, who offer their products DRM-Free, and they are getting my money

We got some interesting leakage in my part of the world http://www.siliconera.com/2017/09/11/shenmue-1-2-pack-listed-ps4-xbox-one-via-european-retailers/ Maybe Shenmue news ;-)

*sighs*

Well, looking at how the AAA gaming design evolved in last few years, the only romance we will have in near future is paying for hookers in GTA VI with microtransactions

Feeling the same. I have fewer games purchased than you this year, but I still have not booted up single 2017 release game So few of free time lately. And today I have just received SMS, that my Yakuza Kiwami arrived to my shop. And like three more games in front of me, which I really want to buy. *inserts some random NOOOOOOO! meme*

Labadal, or anyone else have you played Dark Rose Valkyrie? I completely missed the release of the game in the summer. One shop nearby still has one copy. Any recommendations?

Quite so, quite so. I find romance works better when things happen in your head or in the background. For example: Two attractive individuals travel together, so you would assume that they bond and develop affection for each other. It mostly unfolds in your head, perhaps supported by a few good moments onscreen. But when you try to force that whole relationship / process onscreen into a text-tree conversation? Cringe ensures. And that's why think JRPGs are much better at presenting relationships/romances. Every player finds it's own way how to interpret the dialogues between protagonists. Look at Tales of Zestiria as a later example. Lot of people seen there gay relationship between two of the protagonists and lot people have seen the same two guys having romantic relationships with other two females in the party.

Romance is ok, if it is incorporated properly into the gameplay and the relationship is well written and complements the story. The bang simulator for furries, what Bioware calls romance. You can see better written plot in some Brazzers flicks...

Hmm an isometric RPG in a world like Wolfenstein? I would love that. Will never happen though ( Speaking of which, some months ago, Square Enix was "giving away" some older IPs for reimagining. I wish someone (Obsidian) would pick up the Anachronox and make a proper RPG sequel.

Cuphead preorder on GOG. I do not think, it's game genre for me, but I really love the art style ) https://www.gog.com/news/preorder_cuphead

If that DLC becomes popular I fear publishers might start killing employees just to sell DLC. Don't give them any ideas. As long as it's only devs and not fans it can't be as damaging. Still more damaging than some suit from upper management :-P

I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet. As others said before: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheel_of_Time_(video_game) The consensus on it is, that it was always very underrated game.

It was sarcasm, I really don't want to be on the same level lol Well, you probably haven't had an encounter with Volo (happy you :D), else you would know that, this was sarcasm as well

Lol. The more DRM, the more reason to say "Shove it in your singularity" to the publisher...

"I'm so cool now. Yay. " No.

Yakuza Kiwami Launch Trailer

Oh noes! Where did the CAPS form the topic title go? :'(

Unfortunatelly I am not very found of Fist of the North Star series. So I do not know what to expect from this game.

First Yakuza Kiwami 2 Trailer released today. https://youtu.be/QpXgE8Iqgho

Yup, blaming others for peoples own faults is in our DNA. I would be surprised, if someone in EA would ever acknowledged their fault.

I think there is enough material on his books to make a Verneverse. Just out of curiosity, is his work now completely in public domain?
