    Skyrim is worse than Oblivion in every way

    On the subject of stupid rolls in actual combat, those of you interested might want to check out the UFC fight between Ryan Hall and Ilya Topuria, a few years back. Ryan Hall was an elite Brasilian Jui Jitsu guy, specializing in leg locks, so he would offensively roll, to try to end up in...

    Vapourware We need an upcoming games thread (preliminary discussion)

    That's why I suggested to split it into 2 things, a poll that has all the games coming out (assuming codex forum polls can support hundreds of options), which would also be filtered somewhat by whoever is doing it to remove obvious shovelware, and a distilled list of games people actually look...

    Vapourware We need an upcoming games thread (preliminary discussion)

    Yeah, I mention one in the OP, but my point is 1. a combined list would be better, instead of a bunch of different threads, and 2. these current lists tend to have everything coming out, so most of it is crap no one cares about. A single "distilled" thread with a list of only really good shit...

    Skyrim is worse than Oblivion in every way

    Call of Duty doesn't suck because one bullet kills, it sucks because it is a cinematic corridor shooter. Do you know what's not a corridor shooter? Reality. This is nonsense. Dark Souls would be a lot better without a dodge roll. It already had good defensive mechanics like blocking, parrying...

    Skyrim is worse than Oblivion in every way

    Anti-realism morons seem upset. But who cares. Realism doesn't mean you have to copy every single aspect of reality. Obviously, some of them have to be changed/sacrificed in order to make for a more pleasant experience. But certain shit does have to be realistic, or you might as well put on a...

    Skyrim is worse than Oblivion in every way

    There is nothing worse than a combat roll. It's literally the dumbest idea in the history of video games, which probably explains its brush-fire like popularity. Sure, in the history of medieval combat, someone probably rolled here and there, to escape a charging horse or get out of a crumbling...

    Vapourware We need an upcoming games thread (preliminary discussion)

    You know how you sometimes wonder what games are coming up, and yes, we each have our own little list, but if you want to see other great shit that's being developed but is not on your radar, what do you do? You could google it and get some PC Gamer-style list, about 75% of which will be utter...

    Why bugthesda can't design a proper gun?

    Bethesda sucks at everything. The fact that they have been so successful is a testament to the ironic nature of existence.

    The Outer Worlds 2

    To be fair, neither Cain nor Avellone have done anything of note in the RPG world since around 2004. They got that bond.

    Why is Gothic series so culty?

    Not exactly. I absolutely love the good Piranha Bytes games (Gothic, Gothic 2, Risen, ELEX), and I absolutely love KCD, but they are somewhat different. Even aside from the historical focus of KCD versus the fantasy angle of PB games, as far as world design, exploration, power curve, factions...

    Assassin's Creed Infinity - Feudal Japan and 16th century Germany (for now)

    The weird thing is... they reached their zenith with the open world Ass Creeds, ie Origins and Odyssey (and to a lesser degree Valhalla). Not that those games were great or anything, but they were good time wasters, run around classical age Egypt or Greece, see beautiful historical sights, clear...

    Assassin's Creed Infinity - Feudal Japan and 16th century Germany (for now)

    Lol, they are doubling down on history, eh... The single female protagonist with supernatural abilities should go along really well with the female samurai in their medieval Japan Ass Creed. KCD2 should really clean house with these woke jokes.

    KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Dan Vavra's medieval chad simulator

    Ugh, where do these morons come from... Oh, no this huge open world game with cutting edge graphics and in-depth simulation systems has some NPCs bugged out, or elevation changes can trigger some issues. That never happens with other huge open world games... it's not like Skyrim had a whole...

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Henry's coming to see us in 2024

    If they release it this year, it will be 6 years since KCD (2018), which seems to be the new normal development period for AAA-ish games. Kinda sad, as back in late 90s, even cutting edge games probably took 2-3 years to make max. But that's the price for photorealistic graphics, physics, full...

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Henry's coming to see us in 2024

    Budget means nothing if you are shit. 200 million spent on starfilth and they couldn't even implement a full space model, which indie games do. And Bethesda never had cutting edge graphics, physics, or anything really. So I dunno what they are doing with all that money. Meanwhile, studios like...
