Yes, it is what it looks like!

i'm actually only half-joking. this is fuzzy due to the mists of time but i recall the first two dungeons siege, at least, being a good sort of trash. it was basically a party-based hack and slash, and they were very long, so if you wanted a slower diablo where but you get to manage 4 or 5 characters (and maybe a donkey?) it was an alright time.

no clue how well or more likely poorly they hold up. I vaguely remember 3 trying to be a much more serious RPG that, among other things, labored under the delusion that anyone cared about the story or setting of dungeon siege.

Dungeon Siege 3 is:

Dungeon Siege 1 has a mod that turns it into Ultima 6, iirc

"a tournament called... Mortal Kombat..."

Edit: I love everything about the story of how that iconic sample came to be https://slate.com/culture/2021/04/mortal-kombat-movie-theme-immortals-techno-syndrome-interview.html

quote:

Somewhere in, what, Manhattan?

Yeah, we did it in the downtown Wall Street area. We went down there and started getting directions from this guy. And he started placing us in groups and saying, “When I yell ‘Three, two, one,’ you run and you scream and come around the corner.” And then I think at one point there were several people that were pulled out to be in the principal group. I was one of those guys, and the guy said, “Hey, man, when you come around this deal here, everybody’s just going to kind of circle around you, and you yell from the top of your lungs, ‘Mortal Kombat!’ ” And I did that several times. I don’t know how many times we heard “Back to one. Back to one,” which means go back to position one for the resets. And he says, “Hey, come here, come here. I want to ask you a question.” And I’m thinking at that time, like, Oh, yeah, he’s taking an interest in me. He’s probably going to put me on camera. I’m going to get a little bit of face time here. And he says, “I want you to just yell that with all of your might, like you are summoning the darkest demons in your body.” And I did that take, and that’s the one I remember. I think we did it three or four times, but the one that they show was the one that I did the best job on.

Wow the MK lore is really convoluted, jumping in at 11 is a lot.

Also this is already an over-the-top action movie, I dunno how the real movie is going to go in terms of spectacle

Things that are isekais:

back to the future 2
a connecticut yankee in king arthur's court
hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy anytime after Arthur Dent finally knowingly met Agrajag
real life when you use information gained outside of a game or through experiences later in a game in order to perform better earlier in a game
50 first dates
any cyoa you cheat through
the musical cats but only the 98 film version
the bible
the entire premise of the world of darkness "Mummy the Cursed" line
ghostbusters 2

e: consortium too

You got covid loving the supply lines, making them hard to make.

Then you got covid keeping everyone stuck at home, making them more likely to buy the shiny new thing to wile away the hours with.

The two do not mix well together.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
2020 upgrades may as well have not have been released. PS5 doesn’t have the supply, hard drive or games library to really drive my interest and I’m stuck with a dated GPU thanks to supply and demand issues. Thankfully I have an immense backlog so I’m not really missing out.

it's "optimal" to wait for rain, but losing out on the day or days you spend in Yukiko's Castle is only a big deal if you're trying for max Social Links

RazzleDazzleHour posted:

If someone is inside the TV unrescued, your party members will be unavailable for social linking because they'll be too worried about the person. So, the sooner you rescue them, the more time you'll have available to social link with them. There's exceptions to this where on set days they'll say "hey, maybe we should take a break today" and let you hang out with them, but other than that they won't go back to their normal schedule until you finish the dungeon.

... seems to contradict this.

I'm confused. I'm also not looking to 100% the game since that leads to madness and burnout.
