    Interview Chris Avellone Sugarbombed Interview, Part Two

    You can't deny Bethesda's marketing acumen. Look at all the other janky open world RPGs. The Witcher 3 is the only one to even get close to what Bethesda does in that space, and they had to do it by brute-forcing their team into making a ton of actual content, and creating graphics comparable to...

    Decline Sword Coast Legends - RIP n-Space!

    You still get called a cuck faggot here, it's just in the context of someone who actually knows what they're talking about when it comes to the game being discussed.

    Scorpia and Baldur's Gate, a discussion from 2006

    Why were 90's gaming mags always telling me to suck something down?

    Scorpia and Baldur's Gate, a discussion from 2006

    The media themselves should not be compared, no, but I set off this discussion by contrasting how critics currently respond to them. Which holds up. Film critics are usually fans more like the people around here, or they're aging journalists settling into an easier beat for their twilight years...

    Scorpia and Baldur's Gate, a discussion from 2006

    In the era of clickbait, you'd think this would be a more common approach to reviewing. Anything that gets people talking about a review and actually visiting the page, right? That implies a lot about just how much these people care about not rocking the boat. Certainly film criticism has no...

    Baldur's Gate #BaldurGate: Siege of Dragonspear

    DnD has always attracted "normies", it's the most recognizable version of a very compelling style of games that for whatever reason has a lot of stigma attached to it. Once people try it they tend to stay on board. I still don't think you can look at 5E and say that it is the epitome of mass...

    Death Trash - edgy post-apocalyptic isometric action-RPG - now available on Early Access

    You want to be a victim so badly. You sad little man.

    My first number was 6. I believe that mathematically guarantees my death within the day.

    Baldur's Gate #BaldurGate: Siege of Dragonspear

    I just started the EE for the first time and it's kind of shocking how bad it is compared to the rest of the game. I don't even think the new companions are that bad by themselves, it's the content that surrounds them that doesn't work at all. There's such an obvious shift in quality when you...

    An Erudite Discussion of Level Scaling

    More RPGs should have some level of reactivity based on the PC's reputation and ability. The problem of exploring low level content when you're overpowered isn't so bad if you get to see funny events like people laying down their arms and pleading, or running off to find someone who can actually...

    Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

    One step closer to getting him back on Fallout. If that series is gonna be a jokey mess of references and over the top situations, I'd rather MCA be the one writing it.

    KickStarter Spy DNA - realistic tactical combat with genetically enhanced agents

    $150k? 5-10k would be realistic. Best of luck either way. The game looks decent.

    Reading this game feature list; would you classify it as an RPG?

    All I know for sure is, any argument that hinges on whether a cRPG involves "playing a role, because it's called a role-playing game hurrrr" is wrong. As are most literalist interpretations of genre names. It tracks a lineage that stems from "like D&D". Computer games that are like D&D. They...
