Hypothetically speaking.

I don't think it matters, really. I have no idea of a root cause other than we seem to live in an age of oversensitivity and some sort of identity confusion where every individual thinks s/he's a unique piece of fragile porcelain art entitled of representation and if you so much as even breath too loud in that direction, there's a crack and all hell breaks loose. The best medicine to such is ignoring it. I don't care about such matters in games, though, unless it's being rubbed in my face that I somehow "need to" pay attention to it.

Took me a year to finish it. I got to the big city in in the second act and then the game just died on me. Repetitive, boring, choresome. I picked it some eight months later and pushed through by force - the story was generally well done (though disturbingly overwritten at times) and some quests had some neat things going on (like the Bloody Baron stuff), but... meh, the gameplay isn't very good. I don't regret buying and playing it, but it's quite overrated.

No, but the comparison doesn't really work because they are completely different games. I wouldn't even put them in the same genre. The original was very much a shooter, albeit a creative one for its time. The new one is much more of an action RPG. Aha... so the pattern continues (again). It was the same with Fallout. "No, but the comparison doesn't really work because they are completely different games. I wouldn't even put them in the same genre." Yep, I think Bethesda and Arkane pretty much stated that the game has no relation to the original Prey, the name just fits with what they did with the game. Or something to that effect. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my recollection.

Pushing an agenda inevitably finds opposition. Even an agenda to hug kittens? I guess if they are not your kittens... Hey, I like cats. But the old man I had as my neighbor when I was younger used to poison them.

The difference is that those liberal celebrities that you speak of usually push for said things. It didn't seem like they were overtly doing anything like the stuff that conservatives don't like. I'm liberal/progressive/left-leaning myself, so, maybe someone else would see it differently. Sure. I just said that it is easy to spot these kinds of things whilst the agenda is pushed so prevalently and visibly around these industry. I suppose that's the gist of it. I haven't played it.

Haven't played Tyranny, but can't really blame people for noticing **** like this and underlining it as appearing... unpleasant. The understones and occasional outbursts - that everyone knows - in the entertainment industry being what they are today.

Burning time with Wizardry 7 at the moment and waiting for Grimoire's patching marathon to reach the second half and the game in GOG. Might be a long wait, but it doesn't matter.

I wouldn't want them to do any "fantasy". I'm just about done with elves, dwarves, wizards broad swords snd chainmails; or their "science-fantasy" counterparts. I'd really like to see Obsidian doing something more grouded to current day, history not beyond the past 150 or so years, or - more preferably - near future low-scifi.

Don't forget to put a pinball in the corner so idlers have something to do... https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56238e70e4b079b0ec755562/t/56aff09f3b0be3cc4e0ec157/1455460312293/

Cyberpunk 2020. (CDPR isn't exactly doing that (a conversion of the tabletop game). They are not using the now-retro "80's scifi" theme, nor the PnP rules either in the way they were used in the tabletop game.) Other than that... I remember Paranoia was a good little bit of fun. Might work on computer too.

No, it's... not (a bad thing). I just had it in mind that it wouldn't be quite this close a relative. No matter, though.

Looks pretty interesting, but I can't shake it off how much it apparently apes from XCOM.

Sure. Although, I do think there should always be a possibility to fail. Think about a chance for the opponent (and why not the player as well should there be need) to shove the players gun aside if he goes toting it too close. And obviously try to dodge.

I'd have it the opposite way. With low skill I'd rather miss often and score high impact hits when I do, than dink those little bits off the enemy whilst always being pro with accuracy. I don't think low skill gameplay needs be particularly satisfying or "feel good", and accuracy penalties (leaving the damage values intact) underlines the need for and feel of progression better than damage (in my view).

Hope they keep the romance stuff to a bare minimum (if applying it at all in the end). I can't recall a game where it would've worked and I'd hate to need to monitor the CNPC's in order to avoid some weird honeydrenched moments popping up. The companion relationship stuff otherwise is well and good.

My picks too.

I'd like to know too. The premise of "hunt a god, save your soul (before he ****s **** up for everyone)" sounds trite and done to death in fantasy games. Not very exciting baseline; boring to be honest. What's the catch here? Is there any?

The only one I can think of was in Divinity: Original Sin where, if you had the perk that allowed you to talk to animals, you could help a cat in a bar to get things going with another cat. It was stuff like straight from some children's book, but it was kinda cute, very brief, and it didn't resort to awkwardly written and offputting seduction minigame shoved at the players face.

Oh, hey. That's was nice.

Deus Ex put on hiatus due to underwhelming sales. Too much lazy popamole, one of the creatures was too slick and the hammer struck a hole to the bottom of the boat and this is what happens. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-01-30-dont-expect-another-deus-ex-game-anytime-soon

I get frustrated by managing coins in my purse, so yes. Too bad there's no one unlimited penny there.
