I played Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey starting with a NG+ save I downloaded. Had a blast. Plenty of games are fun without shoehorning in a leveling system. In tabletop systems there’s a different context too, usually when you pick a feat or spell it’s in response to a difficulty you faced, whereas in games it’s just grabbing perks.
Literally all they have to do is beat nvidia by one GB of VRAM on any card and people will go nuts. Nvidia is so afraid of making another 1080ti that even their 4090 gets like 2 less frames in Fortnite at 1080p.
Shit I loved Divinity Original Sin and the sequel, but even I don’t think Larian could match or exceed BG3
Outward is definitely not for everyone, but it felt to me like playing Morrowind for the first time. Not in the dialogue or character writing but in terms of looking at a weird thing on the horizon and asking myself ‘WTF IS THAT’.
I did something similar to this but I misremembered the figure. So I got to watch my boss fiddle and fumble for the courage to say ‘actually it was only an X% raise, not Y%’
It made dungeoning take less time. If it’s faster, it’s cheaper. Hazing endears the group to the new member. The inconvenience of hiking out to the dungeon after getting a group together, and reforming a group after someone left because the warlock couldn’t summon the tank in time to start the dungeon well before their dinner, was a shared trauma that helped the group cohese.
Old folks talk about how much better life was before tech. But it isn’t just old people. Survivors of war-torn towns and cities also come to look fondly upon their times of utter strife and starvation. The circumstances made every person much less disposable (or less cheap) and so people felt more valued. I remember a news story about someone finding graffiti in a city that was rebuilt after a war, the message translated as “Times were better, when they were worse.”
Ecstasy Of Gold is from the finale where Tuco is running through the graveyard. The only vocalizations are from a soprano and a masculine choir.
I got a razr because the zenphone got huge. What I didn’t expect to love are the big bezels on the internal screen (to allow it to close) they stop the fleshy bottom of my thumb from touching the screen, an issue I’ve had with previous phones.
There was a green mount similar to this one they added in BFA for a large sum of gold. But they claimed to dislike how it encouraged so many people to play the market and removed it.
If you like Dwarf Fortress’s adventure mode, and don’t mind a swap to a high sci fi setting: please give this game a shot, it’s the cheapest price it has had so far
I think people were grossed out by the damage numbers
Can confirm. I struggled to remember the name of the ancient website vampirefreaks after the concept came up in conversation and out of the big search engines only Bing’s flavor of chatGPT could tell me what I was looking for.
Because they don’t need touchpads and like an asymmetrical layout
Rexford’s voice is perfect for wrestling casting, perhaps a missed opportunity.
When they first released their keyboards the equivalent to iCue was fine. Now it’s actually adversarial.
And the windows+P multi monitor control doesn’t work before login in 11 because it’s part of the taskbar now
Yeah it’s definitely more substantial than something like Blood Dragon for Far Cry 3.
I never had egregious visual bugs like Skyrim’s dragons flying in reverse. But when I first launched New Vegas the doc waking you up from your coma had a glitch where his head would gently rotate like a clock hand while his mouth flapped. If his mouth stopped flapping his head stopped pivoting on the top of his neck.
I honestly thought it was intentional until his cheek went inside his shoulder.
I love it. Low poly and horror really belong together in my mind. Probably for similar reasons as your own
Yeah the only progression is in terms of gear really. There are some skills you can buy but they don’t seem to matter as much as a good weapon or shield.
