Mamoulian War

Well another nice gift for you, if you are buying on steam. Don't you dare to move to another country, if you want to continue to play your games!!! http://www.pcgamer.com/new-regional-restrictions-on-steam-gifts-come-to-light/

Yes. March 26.

I know that as well. Pillars of Eternity

That would interest me as well. There were before in CnC forums games, which are more clearly overstepping the boundary between kickstarter anouncement and crossmerchandising without being moved away.

Where did Seven Dragon Saga thread disappeared ? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/537511454/seven-dragon-saga-by-tactical-simulations-interact

If what you mean under knowledge of modern programing anything, that is close to port of GTA IV PC or Battlefield 4, then I am happy that these guys were not active last 20 years...

Man I really wish some of the Gold Box games could come back to GoG When I was young, no one was selling them in Slovakia, so I was able to play only few of them But this game makes me more interested than the D&D 5e one, from other thread.

Yup, this is what would be called very shady marketing, if it was any other goods offered that way. Almost no actual offered to customers besides "IT'Z DnD ZOMG BUY!11" But still I really wish, this will be up to everyone's high expectations, because this world needs more RPGs!

Square Enix is doing an online survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8L8WHJR If you want to shape little bit their vision for gaming to the future feel free to put some of your ideas. EDIT: original twitter post speaking about the survey: https://twitter.com/FinalFantasy/status/574013714069778433

Unfortunately, the Open Gaming license doesn't allow you to adapt the D20 system into a computer game. So, they would have to develop a different rule set. As amusing as it would be to see Tim Cain develop a turn-based D&D 3.75 cRPG to school the Sword Coast Legends guys, they'll have to go a different direction on whatever cRPG they decide to make. Unless they've got some kind of contingency I know nothing about. Actually some people think that's not correct. There was discussion in this thread about it already. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/66652-pathfinder-crpg-by-obsidian/?p=1476639

Same with me. With the end of support of LAN in games, I quit almost all MP gaming. Nothing beats having friends in the same room and yelling at them directly to their face The only "multiplayer" we are playing now, is Pen and Paper Pathfinder.

The only multiplayer I play, is Gran Turismo 6, but it is an exception. It lasted one year until I finally found non toxic and clean players to race with. I never play with random people nowadays, because gaming companies are doing almost nothing to prevent player toxic behaviour on-line.

Yeah I agree it may initially appear to be a strange concept but imagine the potential...you could stream a movie that you could then control some of the narrative. Its sounds fun to me Maybe you don't know, but porn industry had already brought this kind of entertainment to the public, so this is far away from an innovative idea :D But fun nonetheless :D

GDC this year is going to be really interesting. I will pay much more attention to it than I have most conventions of the past few years. We have DX12/OpenGL Next Gen, Steam Machines, SteamVR, etc. I also expect a game announcement from Valve since they need a new game to premier so as to draw gaze at their new hardware ventures. I am sure there are other interesting pieces of news to be announced that I am forgetting or of which I am unaware. Half life 3 maybe ??? (could not resist) Everybody knows, that it was already confirmed

w00t w00t Ys games on GoG!!! http://www.gog.com/news/release_ys_series

1) Be more condescending, please. 2) Nobody here is making fun of anyone. People are free to do with their money what they wish, and others are free to call that stupid. People giving their opinions =/= mockery. I really wish you had this attitude when discussing "Social Justice Issues" topics as well

Which of them is best for beginners? I always were really interested in Paradox games, but I always sucked at these type of games. And because of Steam, I never bothered to try them either.

I know you do!

Just a thought: Can someone with a twitter account be so kind and make Tom Hall aware of this Square - Enix move? https://twitter.com/thattomhall Thanks!

http://www.siliconera.com/2015/02/17/square-enix-offers-eidos-p-indie-developers-use/ Among the IPs offered to indies is also Anachronox... Man I wish I had some hundred thousands euros now... All I can do is now, is wait and hope that someone does not take the IP into another bad smartphone pay-to-win game EDIT: One more link directly to SE collective. http://collective.square-enix.com/news/32/first-eidos-ips-made-available-via-square-enix-collective

Well D&D system is better than what PoE has developed. That automatically gives it a head start. Of course people are excited. Is it? I really don't know. I do know that 3E was a step down from previous editions, but a step I could stomach. 4E was utter poop. I've really got no reason to believe that 5E is any good at all as WotC lost all credibility with me many years ago. I honestly don't like much of what I've seen Josh do to the PoE ruleset, but it still looks better than 4E to me, albeit not much. What would get me to play SCL would be a compelling story, and that's what likely is going to keep me playing PoE (assuming it has one) in spite of PoE having many modern design philosophies that I consider utter poop implemented in it's mechanics. In what ways exactly is 5E better than PoE? Lets say it tries to fix some same things that Sawyer did try with PoE, but it actually does it well.It also knows when not to change things that work. Having a rules system that is developed for 30+years vs one developed for 2 years.. hmm, hmm.. which one is better.. I wonder.. Ambiguous answer. I asked for some exacts. A couple of examples are in order, not more ambiguous opinion. And a great game need not have decades of development behind it. In fact, I'd say games that 'develop' over such a long period of time generally suck now. D&D was at it's best less than 2 decades in, it didn't take it 2 decades to get there, and it's been pretty much all downhill since the mid 90s. Other examples would be World of Warcraft, which reached it's peak in quality years ago, and Magic the Gathering, which reached it's peak in quality almost two decades ago. The best games are generally not 'evolving' their design over time, and especially not doing so in order to milk it's fanbase of more money as a primary motivation for doing so as all of the previously mentioned games do. While there are variants, we are playing the same game of chess people played long long ago. - Like PoE, 5e tries to make all classes more useful instead of it being a wizard show but it does so in a different way. It leaves spells pretty powerful but limits how often you can use them. It also lets usually more mundane classes have subclasses that have more or less active abilities (like fighter can choose to be a Champion (passive), a Battle Master(uses maneuvers) or a Eldritch Knight(uses some spells))- 5e reduces the need to have clerics in party by letting all characters heal some of their wounds between combat. Unlike PoE it does not remove Cleric ability to heal their allies. - 5e uses a unified basic mechanic that governs weapon and spell attacks by using something called a proficiency bonus that is only dependent on character level and not class level. Those with weapon proficiency get it as a bonus to their weapon attacks and spellcasters use it to determine the spell difficulty. PoE also uses a unified roll for weapon and spells but they also use a graze and critical system all connected to this which is worse in my opinion. - 5e solves the problem of some attributes being less useful by making all 6 attributes used to save vs different effects and also by not strictly tying skill use to specific attribute but letting players and DM use other attribute in right situation to solve problems with skills. It does not go out of its way to completely remove any realism from attributes like PoE does for the sake of "balance". - health of characters and creatures and damage done stays at low number and never goes into MMO spheres. I feel at higher levels PoE monsters will have life in thousands. It helps that armor does not reduce damage but only reduces hit chance unlike PoE. - It uses bound accuracy system where to hit bonus always stays pretty low but so does armor class. It creates a system where no matter your level you will always fear big enough number of lower level enemies. In PoE you will get your deflection high enough so you never need to worry about those low level enemies. You named almost all of the reasons, why I am currently playing Pathfinder and not DnD

Do they have forums? Bruce you should create an account there and ask them if they'll have romance. I just checked the forums and people are already asking about it Yeah but Bruce is a promancer's pro. If anyone can successfully lobby for it, that would be Bruce. The promancer army is legion, our tentacles permeate all gaming mediums Also its actually a normal question to ask for Romance in a RPG, remember you guys with your aversion to Romance are the exceptions..not the norm To bad your legion is not lobbying more in the eastern regions. Your tentacles permeating JRPGs could bring romances in computer games into whole new level!!!

To me, it looks more like Dungeon Siege Series.

I have a friend who might be interested in it. I would be, but unfortunately, Steam only is a big NO-NO :/ So let me know if you find some people, but lack some.

Good thing I got my copy before then, then. Not that I've played it yet. But I have it! Same for me
