Gamoc, (edited ) to games in Playing Pillars of Eternity for the first time

If you’re looking for similar games to move onto, Baldur’s Gate 3 is in its own tier, right at the top of the genre. Not only that but it’s a step forward mechanically and presentation wise for the whole genre as well. In this game I once threw an angry hyena at an enemy. Later just threw enemies at their friends.

Pathfinder Kingmaker and Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous are both excellent as well. Especially Wrath, though still with the aged style graphically speaking. You can cast touch spells through weapons! In the second one I became a lich queen with an army of undead, it might be my favourite CRPG ever because of that. It’s awesome.

Divinity Original Sin and its sequel are also brilliant, made by bg3 Devs Larian on their own ruleset. I’m currently replaying the second one with my sister (yep, it’s co-op), we are both playing undead. We are healed by poison and damaged by healing. Very cool.

This is my favourite genre, if you can’t tell.

Gamoc, to games in I was already intrigued by this Disco Elysium-inspired, D&D-based RPG where you play as the world's worst cleric, but its demo blew my expectations out of the water

Thanks! The little I read sounded interesting and I love Disco Elysium, so I’ll keep an eye on it.

The ads on that page are so shit that I stopped trying to read three paragraphs in after I tried to close the popup, floating, and auto playing video and the x didn’t work.

Gamoc, to games in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Preview – We Played it and Didn't Like it

It definitely detracted, there’s a boss fight against Deathstroke (takes over the militia after Arkham Knight is taken care of in the story) but instead of an amazing fight you get chased around in the batmobile, it’s a shit joke.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the Batmobile itself, just how much of a focus was on it. I didn’t even dislike the tank combat, other than repetition. The first scene and arriving at GCHQ are extremely cool, they just put way too much of the batmobile stuff in.

My other disappointment is that they insisted Arkham Knight was a new character, but I’d already figured out who it was before the game released, so the “reveal” of Todd in game was more like a reveal of their lie. Outside of that and too much batmobile that game is absolutely phenomenal.

Funnily enough Mad Max had much better vehicular combat. If you want a similar (melee) combat system to these two that’s also very well done, Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor (the first one, not Shadow of War) is fantastic for it. The second one kinda fumbles expanding on it in my opinion (it didn’t do so much expand on it as split it up into play styles, so you had less stuff available to you at any moment), but the first game’s combat is fantastic.

Gamoc, to games in Seasoned RPG devs from Obsidian and Bioware blame the temporary death of the isometric CRPG on 'vibes-based forecasting' from retailers

It’s an RPG on a computer? Specifically tabletop, like Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder, but on a computer. Example games : Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, The Temple of Elemental Evil, etc.

I love the controls in Knight, when I was playing I knew all the quick shortcuts for the gadgets, was properly countering three at a time including holding direction towards each enemy when counting and everything it was bliss. Are you sure you just weren’t a little unfamiliar with them? Because I remember then being meticulous.

God I can’t believe they shoved the batmobile in there and put such a focus on it, it really detracted from the rest of the game.

Gamoc, to games in Naughty Dog is in danger of missing the boat with the PS5

Your life must be so empty and depressing if this is how you are spending it.

Gamoc, to games in Zack Snyder Says 'Of Course' He Would Be Interested in Directing a Fortnite Movie

JJ’s vaguely glossy look would fit Fortnite better than Zack’s gritty darkness, I think.

Gamoc, to games in Zack Snyder Says 'Of Course' He Would Be Interested in Directing a Fortnite Movie

HA! Even if a Fortnite movie was a good idea for any reason other than even more fucking profit, which it isn’t, Zack fucking Snyder is so far from being the right person to do it that it seems like a joke.

Gamoc, to games in Call of Duty 2025 is a Semi Futuristic Black Ops 2 Sequel

This isn’t full circle unless call of duty had jump packs and lasers in its first iteration, which I haven’t played but considering the setting, probably not. At most this is a circle with an almost twenty year line coming off it that’s completely devoid of jetpacks.

Gamoc, to baldurs_gate_3 in Interesting interaction with destructive wrath and conjure elemental.

… So you were in the perfect position to test this, didn’t, and came here to ask a bunch of people who aren’t in the perfect position to test it what would happen?

Gamoc, to games in IGN's Best PC Game of 2023

Then they should go back in time and release the current version instead of the original. Phantom liberty is an expansion, 2.0 is a patch, neither is a game.

Gamoc, to games in Mod That Makes ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Less Gay Gets Nuked After Players Revolt

My first playthrough was 130 hours and my character had sex once, and I only did that because the situation was so outrageous I wanted to see what happened.

Gamoc, to games in PlayStation Portal review: impressive hardware but is Remote Play itself good enough?

Don’t get me wrong I’m sure it’ll find a small market, it just could’ve had a bigger one with comparatively little effort and now the device it could’ve been will never exist. I had hopes for this as I’d expected it to stream from Now, but it just doesn’t for no reason beyond “CBA” really.

Gamoc, to games in PlayStation Portal review: impressive hardware but is Remote Play itself good enough?

There’s multiple devices that allow you to play your PS5 like a Switch, and they all do more.

I’m not angry, you can have opinions about things you’re not angry about. I’m disappointed that Sony charged as much as possible for the bare minimum again, just a lack of ambition and abundance of cost.
