Hey, maybe Bioware's execs let EA's execs write Veilguard out of gratitude, judging by general opinion on its story Anyway. All this talk of DA made me reinstall Origins, which I don't think I need to spend more time with, since it's one of very few games I collected 100% cheevos for, but here I am. I love how things make sense in it. It's also less brown than I remember it.

If it allows me to kick those Pixary twee bobbleheads into a well King Leonidas style I'm good with it. Won't even need a ~*snarky*~ quip afterwards.

I agree that it was never dark fantasy, just plain old heroic fantasy with darkish curtains. But when compared side to side with this safe and fluffy amalgamation of Fortnite and Disney, I can see how in retrospect DA:O might look pitch-black. P.S.: Speaking of Fortnite, maaaaybe in a few years I could slip this DAV as a gateway drug into RPGs to my nephew, who is currently Fortnite-loving eight-year old.

I skipped Anthem no problem, this one also looks skippable. Especially with scathingly dismissive reviews like this: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/dragon-age/with-the-veilguard-dragon-age-has-forgotten-its-dark-fantasy-roots-and-become-biowares-avengers/

So because of some youtuber you wasted money that would have bought you lots and lots of beer on something you don't need or want?

Finished Hades. Well, sort of. Beat up my dad on the third try and full God mode, went out, said hello to me mum and got dragged back to Hell. Guess what, if I want to ask her (and dad) questions on what and why, I have to complete the cycle again. And then probably again if I have more questions, I guess. ... u wot m8?????? Oh, and to unlock stories of those interesting characters you meet along the cycle you have to stuff them with gifts that are either random or dropped by bosses also randomly, and you'll need a lot of them so better be ready to grind those three environments with same mooks over and over again. Guess what? No thank you! . Supergiant games, where intriguing story is thwarted by tedious, annoying, bad, no good game mechanics, 3 games out of 3.

Some bangers from the nineties are much better in accoustic

I assumed that we are not to be fighting Deathclaws, cazadors and other critters that serve as roadblocks any time soon, because we're talking here exactly about how to sneak around them, no? But regular mooks, including Legion retribution squads, are all doable.

Nah, you'll be fine, just not overpowered enough to facetank perhaps. I usually go North via dodge-the-Cazador route and it's way more fun this way, you have to utilize whatever you have in your inventory. I once went to Lonesome Road on hardest difficulty at something like level 8. It was very immersive.

I hate this pixel trend so very much that I see pixels --> instant ignore. Video tech evolves and keeps evolving, then why the f do I have to scrape my eyes on the corners of huge ugly rectangles? Leave it in the past where it belongs and good riddance Aaaaanyway, now when I know Drova is a RPG, I might look past fugly aesthetic, especially since I was late to Gothic train (too ugly and UI too horrible for today's me, sorry). Speaking of beautiful aesthetic, that's one of reasons I like Hades despite of its "Do it again, stupid" game loop - everything is very lovingly drawn and animated. Another reason is characters, they're well written and always have something new to say, I wonder if they ever run out? Racked my godmode DR up to 50%, read up a little, got the double dash everyone swears on, indeed a life saver that trivialized the first boss lady and helped me go really quite far where I ignobly died to a swarm of pink butterflies. Also got a laundry list of things to do, decided to concentrate on ticking things off it instead of getting cranky about repeats.

Hades. How comes I can play RPGs, both nerdy and Skyrim-y, over and over and over again for hundreds of hours and never get bored but with this - roguelike I think it's called? - I'm all "Oh my goooood the same room the same mooks lemme ouuuuut I've been here forever!!! " when stats say I only did 11 short runs? Me being bad at twitchy speedy combat definitely isn't helping any, there's a god mode but to max it out I'll need like 30 (!!!!!) runs so I dunno. Oh well, at least combat isn't the thing of nightmares like in Pyre and I didn't yet rageuninstall it like Bastion. Muzik's lovely though.

I read that those liquidated pieces of sh†t had large sums of money and fake documents, possibly trying to cross into Egypt, which would be hard to do when surrounded by human shields, and read a version that its six shields were murdered some time earlier. Also, if Israel wanted some sort of spectacle of poetic justice, wouldn't it make more sense to do it closer to October 7? Either way, good riddance.

What does that even mean, enough people clicked on "Preorder"? Aaaanyway, was about to say "Will buy when it's 75% off", but then read that it's going to be a "parry timing" setting in it, meaning there's parry mechanics, and I hate parrying in games with power of thousands of blue suns. Memories of some scrawny crackbrain with sh†tstained pants and bent, rusty fork parrying my flaming radioactive maul delivered by 10str character with all the melee perks in FO4 still cloud my mind in red hot searing rage.

Deadpool and Wolverine. Crass sex jokes in that sterile, boring superhero world were lots of fun, still I prefer times when Deadpool did not want to join the club of dorks in silly costumes.
