I just hope their recent comment to "do What Cyberpunk 2077 couldn't" isn't indicative of their ambition. They did small, but intricate rather well, it would be a shame if they overextended.

I thought both Human Revolution and Mankind Divided were good but not great. It felt like MD was a step forward and a step back from HR. The boss fights were a big improvement but the story was just kinda... Nothing. In the end it was kind of just pointless filler and you wound up in the exact same spot you started. It was basically the stupid side quest from The Last Jedi in video game form. The gameplay was good, though, and I was able to pacifist ghost the entire game, so thumbs up for that. 2 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Agiel Posted November 3, 2022 Posted November 3, 2022 <<Vermintide 2>> now free to keep on Steam until November 7th, and a free map on the 8th: 4 1 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
Azdeus Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Awesome, I need to get into that game again, it's been a while Edited November 4, 2022 by Azdeus Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

[/edit1] Mick Gordon vs ID Software drama strikes back Back in a day DOOM: Eternal's soundtrack was reported to be mixed poorly, and ID Software put the blade on soundtracks composer Mick Gordon. Now, two years later, MG claim it wasn't so. Goes even further to accuse ID Software of using far more of his work then they contractually agreed to, and refusing to pay him for the difference. edit2. MG post is lengthy but fascinating - he brings quite a few receipts to support his story. If his account of the events is accurate, then it’s quite a chilling tale.

Hogwards looks very nice. Not sure about everything else - barely showing gameplay doesn't fill me with confidence, and quests they presented sounded very dull. I am sure that 10 years old me would love it though - afterall all I had was A movie-tie in game and I still liked it and replayed it over and over again. 32 years old me, though, is wary of anything produced by WBg.

Don't get me wrong, I like the kind of storytelling FromSoftware has been using, but my impression has been that Elden Ring seems far less coherent then their previous titles.

Lexx Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Nobody plays From Soft games for their quests. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Bartimaeus Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 28 minutes ago, Lexx said: Nobody plays From Soft games for their quests. I liked a number of the little micro-narratives in DS1, DeS, and BB...I mean, I didn't give a crap about them in DS2 and DS3, but that's because I didn't give a crap about those games in general. I'm not sure if that proves your point or not. I haven't touched Elden Ring, so I can't say anything about it really, except that I hope its quality of quests is at least higher than Breath of the Wild's. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Lexx Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 I can't even follow the quests. Pretty sure I'm not the only one who just randomly runs around the game world, hoping to not hop into a territory where mobs will mob the floor with me. The only time ever that I am able to follow the actual quests is if I'm going by walkthroughs. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Hawke64 Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) In DS2-3 it was relatively easy to follow side quests, due to their more linear structure, than DS1 or, I assume, Elden Ring (have not played yet). Their narrative was coherent and fit the mood of the games. In general, I value interactive, player-driven stories in RPGs (e.g. Obsidian games, DS), thus I am glad to see Elden Ring there.
