As someone who isn't going to get the FF7 Remake, is the plot from the leaked version of the game worth reading through for all the changes it makes or is it mostly just to make it less nonsensical and more coherent

As someone who doesn't know, you should not read it because why do you even cares

i just want to play as Krieg in every game

The lack of Krieg is 100% why IDGAF about BL3. That character totally changed that kind of FPS for me. I went from basically hating it to having a blast. I'm not good at aiming and I don't enjoy it, it all reminds me of Duck Hunt and I wasn't good at and didn't enjoy that then either. Krieg was perfect for me, I get stronger by by getting shot and charging the enemy like a loon, I go on a berserker rage, and one of my best powers is to die. If I die hard enough, I actually don't die at all! The lack of this archetype in BL3 makes me seriously doubt what they think made their game fun in the first place.

RTWP being associated with D&D games is weird because D&D is recently turn based

It's weird but it does make some sense. D&D is turn based out of necessity, but the action itself is real-time and you're able to concurrently do things or react to actions.

What's even the point then if you have to play 5e and can't be a druid

I'm playing a weekly 5E game and I have a vague idea of druids supposedly being somewhat OP, but our druid just wants to change into a bear or whatever and slash at people even though he has some kind of nuclear moon strike available to him. Plus he got "HOT PISS" tattoo'd on his face and probably an STD from a dwarf

Druids might be a bit shafted being clerics-but-with-leafs half the time, but at least they get a class and something of a spellbook.

AFAIK Pathfinder is the only place where Witch has a formal class and mechanics, despite Witches being way more prevalent in fantasy and our culture than druids.

I just don't buy the argument on the face of "fewer great games" because they tend to rest on narrow definitions of what counts as "great"

And this is the same thing as with the Joseph Anderson videos, I will watch in-depth documentaries that actually investigate a subject but if you're doing some op-ed opinion piece I will at best look at a summary of your argument to see whether it's worth even bothering, I'm not going to watch clips of random unrelated game footage while you slowly speak through your ideas, this should not take you 30+ minutes

Having watched 6 hours of joseph anderson noah caldwell last night, I'm with you on this. There's a big difference between an excessively long analysis of a game and someone taking too-long to essentially say "this thing sucks" or whatever. Seent a half hour video the other day of someone bellyaching about the term "immersive sim" and I figured it would just be the same as any random reddit comment whining about the actual words in the genre title and it was, but you know, took half hour instead of a minute.

I always thought dragons in Skyrim were really unimpressive, they make them up to be this big threat but you kill one right away, they stay easy as pie and the way to fight them doesnt change

I just hated how much of a pain in the as they were. Basically just big, worse cliffracers. But at least Morrowind gave you the liberty to make a custom spell to instantly kill all cliffracers in a wide area. In Skyrim when a cliffracer attacks, they want to make it this Ordeal, and you're stuck tryin to aim some anti-air shout or wait for it to land and hope you don't get arrested because you accidentally hit a chicken with collateral damage.

In Two Point Hospital is it a glitch or just weird design that doctors + nurses even if they're not tired will decide to stop working/leave their office/walk around the hospital doing nothing for days even if there are patients waiting until you manually drag them back

I tried putting fancy chairs in their offices but they still leave!!

What prestige level are the offices, seems like they'll work longer if their office is nice but it could've just been my imagination. I've also had issues with pathing, like I'd put a plant or something a little too close to the door or walkway and there'd be heaps of people dying despite being 2 feet away from cure.

The main thing I remember about Jack is that she had a tragic, hosed up backstory that garnered sympathy and explained why she was the way she was... but they deliver all this stuff while she's wearing just a couple leather straps looking like she's about to shoot some hardcore fetish video in a basement.

And then, like all good therapists, you gently caress her.

Yikes! Femshep's VA is superior so I've always played as her and I don't think that's an option for Jack. What's the current meta on RPG romance anyway? Ignoring, like, the POS people who cried about Dragonspear or whatever, is the best policy just making every romanceable NPC playersexual or is it preferred that characters be written with a sexual preference in mind? Or is it the third option, where we acknowledge romance between two pre-written characters is likely beyond the majority for VG writers, and that romance between a pre-written character and a nebulous avatar PC, who could be anything from a lawful stupid gnome to some cartoon-evil floating lizard butthole, is basically beyond all writers.

As a straight dude who tries to be woke I feel that making companions always thirsty for the player character regardless of gender is reductive to the human experience, but also representation is important, so I don’t know

I'm 185 hours into Kingmaker rn and there are supposedly several romance options available. To the game's credit, I don't know if it's because my PC is a woman, if it's because she's a semi-evil inquisitor, or if I'm just not being a creep to them but basically nobody has started a romance with me. There are two characters who are in some nebulous relationship and they've both flirted with me but it doesn't go anywhere to worry about. Valerie is this tower-shield carrying tank warrior who loving hates it when people make a big deal about her beauty. There have been uncomfortable dialogue options before to be like "hurr hurr but did u know actually u r SO PRETTY" and poo poo like that, but it always came after these convos about how disrespected she felt because that's all people ever focused on. Her whole character and arc basically revolves around this, and yet, it seems that was their idea of how to start the romance. I never picked any of that poo poo to say, so there's no relationship triggered there either.

There is an evil tiefling who offers to have sex with your PC pretty casually, but I have since learned ever doing that locks you out of a relationship with her/her. I ain't buggin', I didn't know the game had relationships at all until seeing it in some comment chain. Plus, realistically seems like the Queen would be too busy for a relationship anyway.

In the Varnhold DLC, there wasn't time for any romance options, but you there is a quest dude you talk to and if you're the type of person to exhaust dialogue options with an NPC, one of them takes you straight to some fade-to-black property-damaging gay sex. Some pretty casual progressive action for russian devs!

What games lift their entire plot from the bible? I know a lot of games lift names and elements from the bible and religion at large but I can't think of any off the top of my head that actually adapt the bible, only certain ideas and characters.

What would a game that even adapted the entire bible be like? Some of it seems straightforward, bible starts off with some SimEarth poo poo, got Animal Crossing Eden for a little while, there are some clear third person action segments, some areas with light puzzle solving, walking simulator sections, zoo tycoon for that ark saga, Saul's chock full of cool demon summoning and magic and other DnD stuff, Age of Mythology/Empires here and there, some room for Ultima RPG action... but there's also a ton of poo poo in the Bible that would be much harder to include.

A lot of bible books about just rules for old times jewish people, lists of dead people, creepy incest, people trying to spoil and leak future books' events, god delivering on vague threats to his own chosen people, and people talking about how hard it was to build this or that, or how pissed god was that they built/did that or this. There's a couple books that are just horny notes this dude wrote for someone he was crushing on. There's another story I remember where God is really pissed about cum and people putting cum on the ground and demanding they put cum in their dead brothers wife or whatever. Other stuff seems clear it could work in a videogame, but then it's unclear what your actual role would be mechanically.

God sending bears to attack and kill a bunch of petulant children is something we can all see in a videogame in our minds, but are we the bears? Are we the kid, the old man, God zirself?!

The Gospels would be interesting since a lot of it is just reposts with one version being written by some rear end in a top hat who's OC self-insert essentially replaces Jesus and rewrites and co-opts the entire religion for the rest of history lol.

An actual, start-to-finish Bible game would be an incredible project, you'd have to be making like 100 different games into one.
