New Batman Telltale and oh boy, are they falling head first into some bad ideas. Namely a lot of character death. I wonder if they plan on not going farther than Enemy Within.

magimix posted:Very much this. There is SO MUCH LORE in the game, it is kind of mind boggling. When I played the game, I initially consumed all the lore, but it quickly became overwhelming. And the sheer amount of incidental content is such that it'd *entirely* derail the game if you let it. But as a casual action-RPG romp with fantastical trappings, I found it quite enjoyable. Edit: When you consider the development and studio history behind the game, 'single player MMO' is a fairly able description (albeit with better action). GreenNight posted:I second this. The gameplay is fun. The story....doesn't matter. I fuckin' e-despise Kingdoms of Amalur. There's so much lore but it's all pretty mediocre and cliched at best. Modern Salvatore is not interesting at all if you've even been lightly brushed by exposure to old/new D&D/Dragonlance novels (maybe even substandard litRPG or anime poo poo, too). There are the occasional (.5%) neato little bits, but holy gently caress it's so not worth it. It's literally an old school MMO-as-single-player so if you stomach your way through MMOs on the regular, then this is literally just more of the same, but blah. Combat is good only in the sense of being compared with another MMO, or Skyrim, but as a 3rd person action game it's really unexceptional and nothing challenging or interesting. I'd place it on the bad side of average, but not bad. Just play Witcher 3. Or Fable 1, or even Darksiders (2 lol). I'd also suggest Divinity 2 (similarish combat but less lovely MMO-isms). For something with less "story" give Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen a try. I found every aspect of that game way better, or simply just more entertaining. If you want a good non 3rd person action rpg I'd roll with The Last Remnant. Get a guide, though. Drifter fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Aug 9, 2017 |

Oh nice. If you owned Sine Mora, you get a free upgrade to Sine Mora Ex. Not going to complain about that. I liked Sine Mora a whole lot to begin with. http://store.steampowered.com/app/606730/Sine_Mora_EX/ And if you did not have it before, it is sold at a nice price.

Luisfe posted:Elminage is fun. elminage was ok, starting out. but then i got down to the second floor of the first dungeon and the enemies suddenly ramped up in strength and started having immunity to sleep and paralysis. the power curve clearly expected me to gain some levels, but they didn't give substantially more exp compared to the first floor. stranger of sword city is tamer, but the stat curve comes in with a vengeance shortly after the first "act." you can put up all the buffs you want, but honestly you just need a lot more hp 'cause your frontliners are getting one-shot and you're like well, poo poo. to get that hp, you gotta gain levels, but these new, strong monsters maybe give 10% more exp than weaklings in earlier zones, but your tnl is so high that it'd take like an hour to gain just the one level, and you'll probably need 3-4 to keep up with the new monsters' increased damage. apparently a lot of this exp curve was addressed in the vita update last year, but said update never came to steam. also it has a fairly extensive dungeon where enemies are kind of resistant to physical damage and it's underwater so everyone is silenced and you have to use damage items. for the entire area

Yeah I am waiting for that to get a discount (OR GET PORTED TO PC) becauseeven if I did enjoy the base game, the fixes sound really good, such as REMOVING CLASS CHANGE LIMITS.

Got an e-mail from Gearbox about their latest idiotic venture. "Project 1v1 is the code name for a top-secret, in-development, competitive first person shooter—and we want you to have a chance to be one of the first people to try it out! Project 1v1 combines the action of fast-paced 1v1 first person combat with the metagame strategy of a collectible card game."

Gearbox has seen the future and correctly predicted that deckbuilding games are the hot new sector of the market they will get viciously owned in.

I liked all of the Telltale stuff until I realized GoT was headed for a big ol' lame cliffhanger. I really just want them to make an original game or do literally anything to advance their game engine at this point. Even though the games have been mostly good, Telltale's trajectory since Walking Dead S1 has been so disappointing.

So Day9 casually announced a new Valve game during the TI livestream, an hour or so back. Get ready for a Dota2 themed cardgame and billions in additional profits  Name is Artifact and it involves triangles.

Hellblade looks neat and unbelievably pretty. Can I run it with an AMD Radeon 7700 card? The minimum requirements are "Graphics: GTX 770 with 2GB VRAM / Radeon R9 280X 3GB" and I don't know whether mine is better than that.

I can't answer your question, but Hellblade is like a good version of RYSE. Put it on easy and breeze through the combat, because it's pretty lame. It's a nice production, though. Really pretty and neat effects. I found the maze-y backtracking cool for one instance, but it got annoying/boring.
