Larian strike me as team that utilise their manpower rather well - it's hard to imagine AI cooking up the Div games and BG3, while simultaneously making Larian the darlings of the gaming world π€
@SeaDaVie hmm that's definitely odd - I even looked online and it more or less confirmed it was point and click π....Maybe an update was introduced - I think it was around COVID time I picked it up, so possibly π€
So I tried the Div games shortly after buying BG3 and was rather disgruntled to find you can't manually walk around, you have to point and click - so I got a refund
Was that rather petulant... Possibly
Am I tempted to rebuy, even though a serious amount of tutting may be involved... You're darn toot'n π
Absolutely cannot wait for No Fate....Being old enough to remember Terminator vs RoboCop on the MegaDrive; I can definitely say this new one has been a long time coming π
@graymamba A lot of people disregard Pre-Sequel, but personally I found it hell of a lot more fun than 1 and 3 combined π...Only drawback really is you'll get most everything done in about 14hrs π
It doesn't surprise me Outer Worlds 2 is underperforming - Good enough yeah, but hardly set the world on fire.... personally, Obsidian really need to buck their ideas up π
Coz I'm a glutton for punishment I thought I'd do a run through Mafia 3... Apart from that, just chipping away at BG3, Oblivion, Veilguard, Quake 2 and Shadows π
@Northern_munkey Ya know I don't think I ever played Bad Company π€...But yeah, 6 certainly seems to making all the right noises atm, but nah as I said, I think I'm done π
I doubt there's any truth to this - according to sources, the next gen Xbox will have Steam integration; meaning any PS games releasing on PC will be playable on Xbox.... Taking that into account Microsoft will be daft letting that go π
I really can't understand the delay - Ok so it's more of a sleeper hit, than a big heavyweight; however, you'd still think the reviews would have been up by now π
@Bsb56 Yeah, does beg the question - why not just start at the beginning π€....That, and Greek mythology is much more fascinating than Norse imo π
And yet when FromSoft release a new game thats pretty much exactly the same (ok, Sekiro has the samurai setting, and Bloodborne has the Gothic, so fair enough at least they stand out) everyone's lining up to kiss their backside; but it's FromSoft, so they get a free pass?? π€
I've decided enough is enough and I'm finally gonna try get all the Riddler stuff done in Knight π...Other than that I'm,. doing a GTA run, whilst chipping away at Shadows, Veilguard, Oblivion and KCD2 π
@graymamba I go back to Origins regularly too and can't say I agree with the frame rate issues, as it always seems fine for me π€...Do agree with the Mage Tower section - initially I absolutely hated that part - over these last 15+ years though, it's definitely warmed on me π
I highly doubt I'm the first to say this, but after the absolutely phenomenal BL2, BL3 was such a let down (don't even get me started on those twins), and paired with whatever the hell that movie was - BL4 really needs a miracle here π
@naruball I'm sure there was a Push Square article not so long back, saying Sony would be "doubling down" ...π€ I've not kept up to date, so maybe you're right and they've had a change of heart π
So I've not played much of Veilguard (just got off the boat to the night time market place) and honestly I'm enjoying the game so far - too early to tell if it'll be the masterpiece Origins was however....As for the reception; I'm really seeing a tale of two halves here - countless people saying it's amazing, countless people saying it's dreadful - which can only mean one group is either lying or hasn't played enough to produce a concrete conclusion....Due to this I'm now gonna ignore both groups and just see for myself π
@Nepp67 Never forget though, that absolute woeful interaction with those four players during the E3 reveal - Seriously, who the hell talks like that π³π
So i took a nosey to see how long this was, expecting typical LaD/Yakuza fare of around 30hrs....turns out its barely 15 - I mean if that turns out to be true, then truly what a waste π€¨
If anyone deserves a media break, its Larian....One has to wonder though if the next game will release full fat like Divinity or start as early access like BG3?? π
To those already knee deep in booze, fatty snacks and crap telly - I say good hunting my fellow brothers and sisters...and obviously Merry Christmas also π€π
@GilgaMax309 who said i enjoyed the story...bunch of over indulgent tripe with unbearable dialogue, seemingly intelligent people making stupid decisions...and dont get me started on that vomit inducing love triangle π... I get it - for reasons ill never know, people will always sing the praises of the witcher and C2077, just understand i never will unless i deem it justified π...Still, like i said before, i did like Siri , and im glad theyre making her 4s PC π
@DennisReynolds we'll agree to disagree on that one...With the exception of Siri - there wasn't a single one I didn't want to punch repeatedly ππ
Thank God it's Siri.... However I do have a few suggestions - don't bring in any more characters from last time...not one was the least bit likeable...and clean the UI...W3's being cluttered is an understatement....Aside from that - Damn good first trailer π
@JustCameHereToSay you have to admit they all look and play quite similar though?? I will credit Sekiro and Bloodborne - The gothic and samurai look respectively, make them stand out a bit more π
