Didn't expect Blizzard to start adding stuff to their older games. Wonder how people will react to it. I know if they added something to Starcraft 1, people would be very mad, but D2 I guess people might like it?

This is very Sony. At least in this case you get the new version for free, with FF1-6, you had to pay again. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/39140/view/514107648813039662?l=english

Started playing Songs of Conquest, and now I just want to go replay Wrath of the Righteous.

Kind of rage quiet Octopath Traveler. Got to the very end, and find that not only do I have to grind through 8 mini-bosses (takes about 30min?) to get a go at the final boss, I can't save so presumably if I fail I'll have to start all over again, and I suddenly need all 8 of my characters which I haven't so far at any point of the game. Bah. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, dunno.

Reality tv based on Fallout? If I understood correctly.

Started Octopath Traveler. Seems very good. Lots of JRPG tropes, but gameplay is interesting enough, I'm enjoying it. Looks like it has some hard achievements to get, but I'm a sucker for those, so I'll probably end up completing it.

What I think happened is they went to a publisher, who said "Oh, you're making a BG3-like game? Have lots of money!" All we can hope is they can use it effectively.

It's good to have some self-reflection. Or sarcasm, whichever it is. Anyway, interesting that divinity.com was up for grabs. You'd think the Vatican owned it, or something.

Very sneaky from Blizzard, new D4 expansion has 2 new classes, but you get one immediately if you pre-purchase.

ToEE on steam is out. It's pretty cheap, base price 9,75€ for me. Mortismal said they fixed most of the bugs. He think it's base game + mod fixes + some polish.

Will Clair Obscur win half the categories, or just GotY?

I went in expecting a final fantasy style turn-based combat, and was turned off by the dodging.

It's not very final fantasy, it's mostly about dodging.

Funnily enough, some people just made this:

"Furthermore, we want to inform you that we will perform a price adjustment of Titan Quest II to reflect the currently available content on Early Access on Steam and Epic Games Store. This will be changing from EUR/USD 29.99 to EUR/USD 34.99, effective November 11, 2025. This was the first wave and is in effect until further notice." Sure sounds like they plan to do it a lot more times.

Finished Seance at Blake Manor. Got the good ending, but didn't manage to save everyone. Turns out the time limits weren't that big of a thing in the end, it's mostly for flavor. But you can run out of time, or miss some timed events that block some stuff. Near the end it had that problem of constantly running around the whole map, through areas and several loading screens, to find that 1 thing you missed somewhere. But I guess I'd recommend it, in the end.

The murder mystery DLC for Outer Worlds, isn't really much of a murder mystery...
