    Songs of Conquest - HOMM2-inspired turn-based strategy adventure game - now on Early Access

    Just a couple more years and this Fanstratics clone will shine like the jewel that it is. I guess all the sweet bucks they made from this allowed them to give the game away for peanuts so that it will reach even more audience.

    Anime The mistake a lot of modern boomer shooters make

    He's using LLM, you're using autism. You're not the same.

    New Silent Hill Announced

    You guys read like those people who act two-soyjaks-and-veggie-nuggets.jpg over ring descriptions in dork souls.

    New Silent Hill Announced

    Aside from being fabulously optimistic, I don't think they had anything to do with Outlast or Amnesia? Being good with "modern horror games" is also possibly not the metric to be looking for when it comes to reviving SH.

    New Silent Hill Announced

    Wait, somehow I've only learned just now that SH2 remake was given to some third rate potato devs. Wtf, what an utterly bizarre decision.

    Arkane PREY - Arkane's immersive coffee cup transformation sim - now with Mooncrash roguelike mode DLC

    I'm not speaking about a modern gaymer's perspective, but about the reality of what the game is versus what it imagines itself to be. It throws way too many tools at the player way too quickly. Not to mention that some of these tools should absolutely not even exist in the game in the first...

    Arkane PREY - Arkane's immersive coffee cup transformation sim - now with Mooncrash roguelike mode DLC

    There's absolutely no "experience" or "skill" needed for Prey's semblance of challenge to break and fold shortly after the tutorial area.

    Sony is buying Bungie for $3.6 billion

    Just a smokescreen for Myth 4 and incline of unprecedented proportions.

    Arkane PREY - Arkane's immersive coffee cup transformation sim - now with Mooncrash roguelike mode DLC

    I kinda loled at that last paragraph, since the fact that you're basically fighting one enemy through the entire game (and said enemy is not interesting, cool or scary in the first place) is imo easily the outstanding flaw of bioshock.

    Anime The mistake a lot of modern boomer shooters make

    The biggest problem of these games is that they aren't like old shooters at all and their inspirations obviously lie elsewhere. "Nu-doom-like with bad visuals" seems to be a very common variant, for example. The amount of games advertised as quake-inspired is reaching critical levels, yet...

    Games you've changed your mind about

    I don't think I had any spectacular 180s, but: HoMMV - russian game from the aughts plus IV's sequel, oh god... Then I tried it and saw that it's a game where bad ideas and good ideas sort of balance each other out for a mostly meh experience, but certainly not on the lol nope level. Then TotE...

    Wizardry The Wizardry Series Thread

    As always, most of those "how things work" revelations regarding Wiz8 are bs if only because, as you have mentioned, levels play a huge role. And crit builds in Wiz8 are super unreliable and always vastly outperformed by raw damage. That's why if you want it, you should go for both. Like staff...

    RTS Command Conquer in 2021

    Nah, no EA account needed, you just get a pop up about accepting ea eula and that's it. I tried TS and RA2. They run perfectly fine on w10 and look nice with integer scaling. On win7 they don't launch out of the box, but with the unofficial patches everything is smooth with no need for any...

    Deus Ex Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

    "Keep your cake and eat it" design caused by modern sensibilities, later marketed as "freedom of choice". And, in the end, nothing mattered that much anyway, since the game was very easy regardless of your approach. The setting and production values were fine and ghost+no kills run was decently...
