Man, this reminds me that Final Fantasy X had one of the coolest Bahamut designs in the whole series.

This has been lingering on the bottom of my wishlist for quite a while. I wish survival-lite was a thing. I’m not interested in doing food and water gathering bullshit to sustain my digital self, but I would really like to explore and do the crafting on offer here. The game world looks awesome.

As do I.

The officer involved should also face review and potential charges, given the situation on the ground—but the folks who precipitated the situation need to eat the heavy end of the hammer.

I hope the other guy gets charged.

Good. Here’s hoping the dude who passed Barriss the address receives similar charges.

There’s, “Oh, I’m trolling for the LOLz,” and then there’s SWATting. You call in an armed response team, you have to know there’s the potential for something to go wrong—and if you contact someone else to have them do it for you, then…

The magic of Varric is largely that he’s not “The Dwarf”. He’s a writer, a businessman, a “legitimate businessman”, an occasional soldier of fortune and a storyteller....... and, by the way, he’s also a dwarf.

Play Origins. DAI is great, but Origins is just... I can’t even put into words what a magnificent fantasy game it is.

It’s kindof funny that Dragon Age something of the red headed stepchild of Modern bioware...and yet it’s the one that has most successfully pulled off the transmedia stuff that EA and microsoft try with all their big franchises.

Play Origins, it’s infinitely better.

You’re in the minority there, buddy. These Dragon Age characters have became wank materials just the same to millions of people no different from all the Mass Effect ones.

That you needed to pay to see the real ending that had no satisfying conclusion. *still salty*

“then we’d all constantly feel obliged to fast travel back to a town the minute anything turned red. Think about it, you’re in the middle of exploring a really cool new area and your beloved sword turns red... welp, better go get it fixed. We’d negate the weapon degradation system by allowing ourselves to be…

This is why games have repair kits that you take with you to temporarily fix your weapons, or the weapons had reduced stats (stull useful) until they were repaired proper. Hell, just have a mechanic where you have to craft (like with food) so you can do it all on your own just by taking some time off. It would be like…

Yup, in FC2 and TW3 the design is there, but it’s managable, either because the weapons last longer, because you can repair them or both.

I’ll go one further and say modern graphics. As long as the story is engaging and the gameplay fun and not overly repetitive, I really couldn’t give a shit what it looks like. So much time is spent making games look pretty that everything else, gameplay, story, bug fixes, is neglected and the game suffers for it.

I hate kids with mics in general. Get the fuck off destiny and go eat your dinner, we’re trying to kill Aksis ffs.

+1, this is right on. Just like wine-tasting experts have been debunked, I’m pretty sure 95% of all gamers would not know the difference most of the time, but they just want the knowledge that they have a better rig/console/whatever.

Yup.
Half the time, I can barely tell the differences, and all of the time, I generally don’t care.

Minor graphics improvements - I don’t care that the PS4 Pro makes that one fuzzy bush now look sharper. I don’t give 2 shits about the quality of Scorpio’s pixels. As long as the basic/slim consoles play the games, that’s about all I really care about.

Shitty mod tools. Mod tools were never amazing pieces of software, but I’m sick of both undocumented first-party tools and broke-ass .NET fan junk. At least WAD editors worked.
