unpopular gaming opinions - here's mine, share yours
melkathi replied to Melusina's topic in Computer and Console
Honestly, the best thing about World of Warcraft was that at the time they used very simple graphics to make the game look pretty, compared to a lot of other MMOs that went for amazing but ran crap on a lot of people's hardware. -

And the fact that that same community is the hiring pool.

I feel GW has long since lost touch with the satirical part of their settings and taken them way too serious.

Malks are all insane in one way or another. At the same time they see truths others do not. Your characters dialogue options give away details, but you have to know the information to spot it. That is why they have an added joy to play in a second playthrough when you "get it" when some information is sprung on you. I am Brujha, so I am glad you did not go ventrue. We'd have to stop being friends.

Tried the playtest for "Every Day We Fight". I had understood it to be a turn based tactics game with aiming similar to Phoenix Point. I was wrong. The aiming is real time. The moment you aim at an opponent, they start moving away. Sometimes when an opponent tries to shoot you, you get a chance to scamper for cover. There is a lot of reactions. And a lot of real time real aiming. A first person shooter masquerading as a xcom clone. I feel a bit like playing XCOM with the QTEs in Telltale's Walking Dead games or that Tomb Raider torture porn game. Not the target audience.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, Thread 2
melkathi replied to Katphood's topic in Computer and Console
A game that isn't even dead because it never was alive got into a second thread. I am taking bets on how many threads we can reach before it either releases or gets officially abandoned. -
Random video game news... RNG says "Nope"

I wish! Maybe with the forkcat art The feedback is silly positive. If I did have my own island, we'd be doing obsidianite lan-parties. Beach in the morning, Alpha Protocol Speed Run Tournament by night -

If people get a lot of unjustified, hateful flak and the product isn't too expensive and my finances are OK, then I may buy it, not to spite the haters, but to show some solidarity. But it is remarkable what some people will do out of a "sticking it to the man" gesture. -

I started on Showgunners. It does very well with the Running Man game show theme. Even the tutorial works, as it is commented on by the TV Show host. The game promises to be relatively short (the devs estimate 15-20 hours, and I expect it to be closer to 15 than 20). It is fun turn based tactics and a lot of the devs have worked on Phantom Doctrine (not fun turn based tactics) and Hard West (better than Phantom Doctrine turn based tactics gameplay (but that isn't especially hard, unless you compare it to the Narcos turn based tactics game)). Things that could turn people off? That one thing you hated about Firaxis XCOM. No, not Central Bradford, the other thing. Timers.
