Mamoulian War

I wish I could, but not realeased on GOG yet

It is both, lack of quality, and we are getting older. My gaming preferenced changed very minimally compared to 20 years ago, I am still big RPG and racing nerd, but the overall quality of big games is getting lower and lower. Square Enix was once my favourite game maker, but with release of Lightning Returns, the games they offer are just to much different from what I am expecting from them, so I have stopped buying their games. Same with most AAA studios. The only exception would be Bethesda, because their non-core studios still offer what I love about gaiming. Unfortunatelly I have to wait few years to see it on GOG, and after the MS purchase, I am kind of worried, that the Doom 2016 and Eternal will never get on GOG Anyway, what the AAA is lacking, can be found in AA and Indie games. I just have to dig deeper to fins out the gems I love, because there is to big quantity of games nowadays. And there are always some japanese series, which have not disappointed me yet (Yakuza, Atelier, Tales of, Dark Souls etc...), so I really had absolutely no need to buy a single game from AAA publishers since few years...

I love Pathfinder setting more, but I have only finished PoE1 so far And enjoyed it a lot. I have Kingamker scheduled in the next few months.

I would not be so sure about that. They are still wondering if FB should be broken into more entities or not, and MS has a much better name in business world than Zuckerdroid.

Ok, wishlisted it for now, I am kind of running out of time to finish all of my backlogs 😄

Xcom: Chimera Squad arrived on GOG https://www.gog.com/en/game/xcom_chimera_squad Is it worth 7EUR?

Well, I play patfinder since 2012/13 or so? I really do not remember, and I love math, and I have same type of friends. So we kind of enjoy that large walls of numbers 😄 And I fully understand, that some people might hate it, but for me D&D5 and PF2 feels kind of numb compared to PF1 and D&D3.5 ... Dunno, maybe something's wrong with me and my friends 😄

Not for everyone 😛 I love to read Pathfinder 1e rules and implement them for our play sessions 😄

I played it approx 2 years ago, and I have enjoyed it. But as you have seen around, it is hit or miss, for me it was big hit

They had aggro pulling skills, and I used them extensively during my playthrough. Maybe it was a case, where you maybe did something wrong, while leveling up your tanks. Dunno. The only battle where I had issue with tanking was the battle with Kaoto, and his monks adds, or what was his name... But I have used a lot for deaggro the cleric bubble level 1 or 2 spell (dunno the name)...

It's on my wishlist as well, but the price is not right yet for me, because I have pretty big backlog atm.

If some game is on GOG and not steam, it most likely means, that the game was broken, and the GOG made some custom made executables, so the game can run on newest OS and HW. A lot of older games, are much better products on GOG, than Steam, and they are working most of the time "out of the box" and older Steam games needs some manual fiddling. Anyway, GOG probably solved my problem, and offered me 77% discount on Mechanicus - Omnisiah Edition, which I will most likely use instead of the NWN2 50% 😛

Well, that was long before they purchased Activision. With all of the IPs in their hands, they have in some genres almost a monopoly, which can impact very negatively their previous promises...

I am in a same boat, still I am unable to decide if, that price is right... Although NWN2 is almost never on sale...

THAT'S FORBIDDEN!!!

Maybe they finally stop censoring stuff to get more sales from Japan and gaijins like me, to be more competitive again.

No one is saying it is bad to do and play something different... Though moving completely away from such type of games is bad... I enjoy these type of games, and I would miss them again, if they would disappear again, like they did after IWD2... 🤷‍♂️

It's not, it is just different from other games, I am really tired from the open world stuff like DA:I or Skyrim... So games like PoEs and PF are really nice to play once in a while...

Well, even though PoE2 apparently under-performed, I wish this will not stop them to make part 3 in isometric view as well I have enjoyed the games and the setting

Well, all indices says to me, that it will not be PoE3. And believe me, my biggest gaming wish at the moment is, that my intuition is wrong about this one...

Obsidian. With their purchase, there is no more isometric RPGs planned. That's worse for the game industry as a whole, because Obsidian was one of the very few companies, who could still offer this kind of content 😢

Microsoft was one of the companies, who pushed hardest for the microtransactions and lootboxes on their platforms. Acti and EA just rode the wave...

Dopitche...

Do not hope for that. If it is the same, as last Hitman, then you can play in offline mode, but everything you achieve is not stored on your PC, so every new mission starts with nothing. IO after publishing it in that state on GOG, received a big backlash, and instead of fixing it, they rather pulled the game from the store.

And it will be an NFT ridden mess 🤷‍♂️
