  1. I want to say KOTOR II is the best game by Obsidian, but the state of that game makes that assumption very dubious. KOTOR II is the one I've enjoyed the most (so much so I finished it twice, which never happened with any other Obsidian game). would love to play a remaster with all the cut content properly restored. but yeah, objectively, I think, the label of "THE BEST" should be reserved for New Vegas. would love to play a remaster using the latest Bethesda tech. would love to play some D&D on the Pillars of Eternity engine (yeah, I know it's Unity, I mean the isometric backgrounds, optional TB combat etc.), maybe NWN3 could happen? a man can dream. as an aside, I don't know what it is about PoE II, but I tried going through it twice and dropped it in the middle both times. that game is too big for its own good. Tyranny is pretty cool, but I can't beat it, too hard in the later stages, I just don't get the progression system. honestly, I crossed out Obsidian after learning that they were developing Outer Worlds, Grounded, and Avowed, with no hint at isometric games in between. expected a lot more from Pentiment. that game just makes it too easy to miss stuff and accidentally finish the game early. I just didn't understand why stuff happened to my character, what actions led to it, so I was frustrated all the way through. but maybe that's because I played it shortly after getting into Persona 5. anyway, in my ideal world Obsidian would be hard at work making Dungeon Siege 4 with full-party combat (mules included!), isometric NWN 3, and KOTOR 3.
  2. kind of crazy that Arma 3 is still going, while Reforger barely makes any progress. we stopped playing Arma 3 because no matter what upgrades to our hardware we made, the game would still run rather poorly, showing its age. honestly, I expected BIS to go all-in on DayZ as a platform as soon as they released 1.0, but I guess that doesn't make sense to them, which is unfortunate.
  3. not to derail the thread but while you owned "nothing" in the USSR, you didn't pay for it either. I don't think that's the model Ubi execs have in mind
  4. This drove me insane in both Original Sin games, so much so, that I actually gave up on BG3 as soon as I saw it had exactly the same combat. for a game that is touted as having "the best turn-based combat" it feels extremely sloppy and imprecise. not sure what the problem with making combat have a grid was, for example.
  5. love the FF discussion, but guys... is someone forcing you to use Roman numerals when discussing these games? I spend half the time deciphering what part exactly you're talking about anyway, the best FF game is obviously 9, as it should be since it's the last FF game with heavy involvement from Sakaguchi AFAIK. but I am kind of sad to see FF 12 (my personal favorite) not getting any love from you guys. as for FF 16, "played" it on YouTube, and my very short review follows: voice acting is great; CGI cutscenes are amazing; story is unbearably bad, writing in general is just weak (too many coincidences convenient for the plot, if you know what I mean), main character is written as an idiot for some reason, very unlikable; visual design is strong; combat is generic as hell, Eikon battles are unnecessarily long. reminds me a lot of FF 13 for all the wrong reasons.
  6. heard that D4 open beta fried several 3080 Tis, so beware. as for the Stalker 2 leak, I found out about it on the social network (VK) it happened on, there's a huge thread with screenshots and concept art. not sure what the leakers actually wanted to accomplish with the leak itself, as far as I can tell it's free publicity for the company, as the concept art looks amazing, the map is huge, and it actually makes the game look better than it probably is, so much so that I wouldn't be surprised if the leak was orchestrated by GSC themselves for brownie points
  7. you can in Conan Exiles, so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible here too
  8. the thing is I'm not from Russia, so something weird is going on, my guess is GOG is using a "carpet bomb" approach to blocking IP-address ranges, and my IP is within that range even though territorially I'm right next to Poland.
  9. GOG keeps denying all my transactions and that link doesn't work, so I'm guessing my Internet provider works through Ukraine or something, and GOG is denying me service because they think I'm a combatant
  10. Still playing Elden Ring, after 200 hours I'm roughly half way through the game, enjoying most of it, though some bosses are becoming really annoying (tree spirits be damned!) the views, they are what keeps me going To keep myself from going insane I swap Elden Ring for Genshin Impact from time to time, and while the game is just a poorer Zelda clone, it can be cinematic and slight spoilers!
  11. in the hundreds of hours I've spent in DCS I never tried aerial refueling now that I think about it I don't remember the last time I landed a plane safely
  12. am I the only one not getting any images to show? also, is it tied in any way to this game? https://store.steampowered.com/app/370870/Dark_Future_Blood_Red_States/ EDIT: oh wait, I didn't realize Dark Future was a Warhammer game
  13. that's terrible, because it's just making the engine space that much smaller, Unity isn't in any shape to compete with UE4, and now yet another engine team will just disappear. I don't want all games to be made in UE5
  14. the only way to play the original Witcher game is to treat it like a NWN total conversion. that was the only reason I even bought the game in the first place and I liked it. then I tried NWN 2 and forgot about TW for a long time. TW2 was a huge disappointment.
