My Grim Dawn tips are: Pick 2 damage types and stick with them. A third is fine but make it a DOT. Go to grimtools and reverse engineer your constellation set up for max efficiency. This means you're gonna have to use math, I'm sorry. P.S. Always get Giant's Blood or equivalent on any character. Avoid the DLC area with the ground covered in Aether. It sucks. If you insist, keep in mind Aether resist doesn't work on it but damage resist does. The Crucible is very good at letting you know just how good your character is. I have like 1300 hours in the game which means I'm done playing it, but I hear they're still updating the game so good for them.

One thing a lot of new people don't realize early on is that a bunch of early components (items that enhance armor/ weapons) also come with active and passive skills. It's a great way to flush out a build and fill in gaps to make the game play more active.

Yeah, it's real tempting to only run two or three active skills in Grim Dawn, and you can do it if you like, but throw in one or two more from your components and modifiers from your constellations and you still have a decent amount of activity.

By the sequels it's not much of a thing anymore at all. Their presence feels like something they wanted to focus on in the beginning, in time to put their E3 demos together or whatever, but then backed off on after getting negative feedback while still not wanting to go back and redo parts of the game

At least Baldur's Gate 3 is looking nice. Speaking of X-com like games though, the Necromunda game is coming out soon and it looks A LOT like X-Com mixed with a bunch of other games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiN-pa0zG2E Hopefully it'll be good cause Mordheim kind of wasn't.

Most of this was later scrapped but the brutal opening segment remained intact.

I think like in the first E3 promos for the game the PR people were saying creepy poo poo like "we imagine the player will be protective of lara and want to take care of her" and that contributed to them walking back the torture porn aspects of the game too

I have faith it will still see release a while after BG3 is out once they have the manpower to smooth out the rough ends that Logic Artists left in the project, at least if LA didn't deliver a steaming turd for Larian to try and fix. But yeah, I was looking more forward to it than BG3.

Is The Evil Within 1 worth playing through with the awful save game system that's made me repeat tons of slow sections already due to being a clunky piece of poo poo? On chapter 4 I think and fell into another blood sewer or whatever. Pretty much only playing through it because I heard EW2 was surprisingly good.

EW2 is extremely good, the best RE4-esque experience you can get. EW1 has some interesting things but just a bit too rough, rather deeply flawed, and clunky. i played 2 first and went back to try 1 and yeah you should have just went directly to 2.

Boba Pearl posted:The part where he said "I'm ok with rape being used as a weapon by enemies in erotic video games" and the part where he said "SS soldiers were just born in the wrong generation in Germany." You are really reaching here.... They are just saying that they would be okay with a game where a rape has happened, as opposed to posters in the thread saying they dont want to deal with it at all (which is also completely fair). They are not saying they want want to watch enemies do it. And even go on to say that they would immediately drop the game if the player was made to do it. The "pro-nazi" thing just seems like a weird dig at germans, implying that all germans would be nazis if they lived during those years (and i doubt this was their intent). It just seems like some weird wording and if i remember correctly Phlegmish is not a native english speaker. No need roll in and immediately accouse them of being a pro-rape chud or whatever. Also lol at that 1 day probation ...

I thought the moral of Nazi Germany was like "every single human being on earth is a couple turns of the dial away from doing unspeakable evil," not "people born into this region of the world at this particular moment in time were inherently predisposed to commit atrocities."

Xaris posted:you should have just played EW2. this game is pretty bad, they probably should've just made a movie instead since 95% of it is scripted outcomes/invincible enemies/absolute bullshit also almost every time you finally come up to a savepoint you have to go through some slow hospital interactive cutscene with your guy going "whoa...where am i?? this is crazy....." before you can just save your loving game. YOU'RE IN THE HOSPITAL, YOU'VE SEEN THIS PLACE LIKE 20 TIMES DUDE it's great

The Joe Man posted:now there's a lady trapped in the middle of a lobby in one of those magician water tanks except i think it's piss? monster piss??? I totally wouldn't blame you if you skip to EW2, since it's a vastly superior game, just make sure to look up EW1's story cutscenes on youtube if you do- there's enough poo poo that happens in the back half that you really wanna know what's up before diving in to 2. Meanwhile, is Wurm Unlimited good? Everything I've read seems split between "Astonishingly deep and complex survival thingie" and "opaque, frustrating, infuriating piece of garbage." Is this a Shenmue I situation, where both are correct?

For those wondering about Fall Guys, you get a good idea of it if you'll like it or not within the 2-hr refund window since that's how much content is there so far. It's like if Warioware only had a handful of minigames. It's good price of free on PSN+, but $20 is a bit steep.

Stux posted:v funny to be writing long walls of text but being unable to grasp why the structure of that sentence sounds the way it does These forums are seriously going down the drain. If there was a button that would permanently delete these forums and all the backups, I would push it instantly. And for the record, Reddit was never a pedophile haven. Mods, please give me an excuse to delete SA from my browser history and memory, as I will gladly do so. Although from the way my health is looking, I doubt I'll be alive past the end of this month, so just gently caress everything anyway. Suicide is the answer. Heaven and Hell do not exist. We are all actors on the grand stage of life. When our bodies die, we step off the stage and gaze at it for a time, before returning to it in a new body. And the stage of life may encompass any possible realm of imagination, both dreamed and yet to be. From the physical, material driven universe we find ourselves in today, to the realms of the fictional and fantastical. Think of all the science fiction and fantasy stories you may have read. Any of those is a possible setting for this grand stage of life, across an infinite number of parallel universes and realities. In addition, Free Will is a malleable concept. There are those of the Actors that truly have Free Will and can change their potential actions freely, and those of the Actors that are locked into a specific path in their current Role but may be interacted with by those with Free Will. There is also a sliding scale from a Fixed Path to Complete Free Will. I believe myself to be on this latter scale, although I do not know how much Free Will I truly Have. No matter the actions that an Actor may take in their current Role on the Grand Stage of Life, they are never penalized for those Actions, and they may choose freely for any future Roles on future Grand Stages of Life. In our Hollywood movies that have brutal Dictators and Villains, are the Actors for those roles ever penalized for future movies? After all, the lifespan of a Human is an infinitesimal fraction compared to the Infinity of Time. Why should an immortal soul receive everlasting rewards or punishment for a single short life?
