I’m an RPG fan, mainly. These days, at my age, I don’t play much else because I just don’t get anything out of games like Fortnite and whatever other flavor of the month is out there.

I found it pretty redundant and reptitive, not to mention the entire movement system felt like weightless paper. The turning in the game, especially on your horse, felt like you were turning a MAC truck. Was it better than Witcher 1 and 2? Yes. But I also grew tired of Geralt swinging his sword around in these…

Very glad they are taking this First Person. I was never a fan of Witcher’s combat mechanics or overall “feel”. To me, while Witcher 1, 2, 3 improved over each installment, never did the movement mechanics and combat reach the same level as their dialogue, voice acting, graphics, and overall other gameplay (excluding…

This is why I’m all for customization, and why every game moving forward needs it to some level. Mass Effect did it best: give a default skin for male/female, give them unique voices, then let the player decide if they want to customize.

It’s a good question, honestly. I always take for granted that I’ve built my knowledge up since I was a little elementary kid who stumbled into my local games shop, saw them selling their models back in 1990 or so. From there it was just owning a lot of codex books (40k and Warhammer) and following on/off the rest of…

Hah. I actually remember reading an article about that. Something along the lines too of, “Well, we justify our high price tag because we know our real fans will happily pay whatever price we charge for our models and our quality.” It wasn’t exactly like that as verbatim, but that was the general sense of it all. It…

Yeah, as marathag said, they were the SQUATS, who GW conveniently wrote off many decades ago. There’s actually a lot of early 40k stuff that is now discontinued or non-canon. It’s pretty interesting stuff to dig up.

Yes, humanity has bread themselves as xenophobic over the past many thousands of years—really since the Dark Age of Technology. Their leaders (the Imperium, and in essence the Inquisition and the Lords controlling most of the various arms of the Imperium) do not believe in cooperation with alien species. To them, all…

I’ve followed 40k since the 80's, mainly for lore. It’s always been an interesting space—and quite massive. The level of detail added by the rise of their overpriced Black Library books has helped make an already expansive world even larger...

Haha. Look, I’m only going to be somewhat aggressive here if only for your immature usage of gimmick internet lingo. Normally I just void over someone who uses the term troll (it even pains me to write that stupid fat-term), but given there was some actual meat in your excessively long....

PoE2 did a better and more thorough job of voicing than Divinity 2. Additionally, PoE2 did a vastly better job of helping you understand all their complex terms, definitions, gods, pantheons, factions by putting colored hyperlinks in dialogue boxes which pop-up a nice little definition each time a term is used. This…

People who place a high priority on voice acting should support another genre? Are you joking? I’ve been playing RPGs since I was 6. That was 1988. I’ve played D&D, Warhammer, 40k, some off-brands most folks have never heard of/never will, Hero Quest, Dragonstrike, Magic, and the list goes on and on.

I just want to say one thing about POE2, and that needs to become the staple for all other games in this genre: VOICE ACTING!

D:OS 2 is a perfect example of modern day America. People “claim” something is good, and suddenly it becomes so. It doesn’t mean it is. It just means it happened ot be the hot flavor of the week/month that the gaming people piled on before they forgot about it and moved onto whatever was next. This is how the gaming…

Agreed. PoE2 was a massive step up from the first installment. And as a fan of this genre since the Baldur’s Gate 1 days, Divinity 2 was atrocious. How anyone could play that clunky, slow, cartoony joke of a game was beyond me. It was awful—from combat, to movement, to UI, to camera. I tried twice and quit within…

TRUST. That is all. If you knew the people personally, or you had played online games with them for a large number of years, I could see it working. Otherwise? Unless there was some charter where you needed <X> Signatures to do anything with the ship, such as even crew it, who knows.

Personally speaking, and I don’t mean to rile anyone up who may become offended (as this is not a personal attack on you, but rather a series you for some reason put faith into), the Malazan Empire series is vastly overrated. Both in writing ability, and in story. Honestly, the characters as a whole have about as…

They have stated the are not re-creating Baldur’s Gate 2? Are you joking? PoE is a carbon-copy of the game, from UI to ruleset, to gameplay. Everything about it is the Infinity Engine improved. The only difference is story and setting. Otherwise, you’d think this another game in the FR universe.

Congo is an enjoyable film, though. And highly quotable. Actually, Ernie Hudson’s character is very good in the movie —- it’s just the actual movie was incredibly cheesy, even for the 90's. “I’m your great white hunter for this trip ... though I happen to be black.”

Agreed. The game is a big step up over PoE1, but it still leaves a lot to be desired for old BG2 fans. I was always craving more depth in the world (anything outside of Neketaka). The map is just a giant group of small-to-medium islands, most of which have very little on them save an extremely small “dungeon” which…
