Re: Baldur's Gate 3 DLC Is on the Cards at Larian Studios

Jaz007

A 100+ hour with a bunch of updates that say “restart the game”.
I love what I’ve played of OS2, but I’m glad I’ve been playing the patched definitely edition, not just the definitive edition. I hope they don’t do the same thing here, or try to minimize that.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Accidental PS5 Console Exclusivity Truncated as Xbox Backtracks

Jaz007

Good, I always knew the S was a bad idea. MS didn’t realize a dev would do this with a big blockbuster game, and now realized it may have been a while, if ever, they got BG3.
A weaker console was always going to hold things back.
I predicted this, and I think the S is going to start losing games at some point, or get terrible versions. Then MS will have more damage control due to another bad decision.
I hope the UK keeps blocking that Activision deal and forces MS to actually make good product decisions for the first time since the 360.

Re: Random: Gamescom Opening Night Live Interrupted By Stage-Invading GTA 6 Fan

Bill Clinton kid was hilarious and waited for the From dev to finish (which he said he specifically did to not interrupt his moment), blended in perfectly, and spoke with such confidence while spouting utter nonesense, finished, and left while getting applause from the confused audience. That was an act and a performance.
This was a random heckler and just disruptive and interruptive with none of the attributes the kid had. Just poor and obvious.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Sales Have Been 'Fine', Nothing More, Nothing Less

@Nepp67 None of the gore was important or really needed for the story and they absolutely did keep dropping F bombs in the game. Many more than needed to be there.
None of what you said required an M rating, the Eikon scenes weren’t gorey and the heavy topics don’t make a game rated M. Much heavier things have been in T games.
In also said it being M was edgelordy, not the game in general itself being full of it.

Re: Larian Studios Still Cooking the Ability to Change Baldur's Gate 3 Character Appearance

Jaz007

@RedRiot193 You’re just adding to what I’ve said. I said they released a 3/10 game. I didn’t say it still was. The point is that they broke trust gave gamers explicitly good reason to not have as much faith or goodwill. I never said they didn’t fix it, just that the changed perception of CDPrRD was anything but bipolar.
They’ve done a fair bit to some trust and goodwill back, but they how was loss of it bi-polar? That’s what the entire point here lies on.

Re: Larian Studios Still Cooking the Ability to Change Baldur's Gate 3 Character Appearance

Jaz007

@RedRiot193 It’s a valid point that CDProject Red wasn’t the gaming community being bi-polar. If they hadn’t released a 3/10 game that wouldn’t have happened.
Maybe we shouldn’t have hyped them up so much, but, that’s a different criticism to saying they got turned on after going from a 10/10 to a 3/10 at this publication, and number of others too. I don’t think that’s ever happened before TBH as well.
Now how is that “hating” exactly?

Re: PS5 Release of Baldur's Gate 3 Will Mirror the PC Version at Launch and Beyond

Jaz007

You know, I wonder if waiting a month will be a blessing depending on the number of fixes. I understand that Original Sin 2 got so many updates that said "requires a new game" in a 100+ hour game like anyone who played before the update had time for that. If they change or fix anything with stuff you're stuck with the entire game, I'll be very glad for the months wait. I hope they don't do that again though.
This will be the most unreplayable but most replayable game ever made.

Re: Round Up: Baldur's Gate 3 Reviews Suggest It's One of the Best RPGs Ever Made

Jaz007

Having regular cinematics and a proper DnD combat system are exciting me a lot. This sounds like it won't be as hard and time consuming as D:OS2's combat, which is a great game, but combat takes a long time and many tries. It also helps that I already know the rules.
The one down side of looking things up though, is that from EA there's whole bunch of wrong info out there.

Re: Will There Be a Twisted Metal Season 2? No Idea, Says Showrunner

Jaz007

I’d rather we try again and get a team that can actually take the story of Twisted Metal instead of replacing it with a generic one since they don’t know what do with the story given to them.
I guess good for the people who like, but Twisted Metal 2 has a special place in my heart and I’m a bit of a purist with it. And I think it had more potential than the premise given.

Re: Poll: Is Twisted Metal's TV Show a Win or a Write-Off?

Jaz007

I can’t get past how generic they made the premise because they didn’t know how to actually utilize the concept of Twisted Metal. I’m glad it’s not a total disaster, but it to be lacking is basic creativity and it needed to be more than a silly romp. Twisted Metal is actually known, especially after black, to have some interesting story. Yes, comedy is important to TM, but so is the dark story of it.

Re: TV Show Review: Twisted Metal - Car Crash Entertainment

Jaz007

This sounds terrible. It’s a weird TM fan fiction. Sony needs to be careful with its IPs. The moment this didn’t have Calypso running a tournament it should have been canned. It could have been new, instead it’s a generic pair apocalyptic story that steered clear of doing something more interesting because the show writers didn’t have the talent for it and they knew it.

Re: The FTC Officially Files an Appeal Against Microsoft-Activision Court Victory

Jaz007

@GamingFan4Lyf If it get blocked, I personally say it’s worth it and it is the gov is doing its job. And if not, the problem is less the waste, and more the basic failure to perform its gov.
COD staying on PS is also not a fact. Not at all. There is a lot reason from history to assume COD will be gone after 10 years, which means MS is just lying through its teeth.

Re: Larian Studios Gets TikTok Ban for Bear-Form Druid Sex Scene in Baldur's Gate 3

Jaz007

@Kylekgh Sex and violence are completely different and provoke entirely different reactions. There's a reason we allow kids to take a martial arts class, but not a be sexy class. We play violence with kids all the time. We do not with the other one.
Scary is also very much the wrong word. Disliking plain degeneracy does not mean sex is scary.

Also, it's not giving as many choices as possible. Romance doesn't mean sex, but if you want to romance this druid, it means a bear sex scene. That's giving no agency in the romance and denying my ability to choose. It would be giving as many choices without this scene.

@MikeOrator In general, I like romance options, and I don't want graphic sexual scenes and whatnot shoved my way because I chose romance (which doesn't equal sex).
DnD pen and paper has a persuasion skill. Obviously that's not immoral. Can someone turn DnD into immoral smut? Yes, and many DnD horror stories happen because someone wanted to turn the game into smut. In actual DnD, that's almost always a ticket to disaster.
