etc etc etc and trust me when you play as a guy there's even more cringe cause there's plenty of faggots around, check out this:

Yes, to be fair the OG Fallout had plenty of stuff like this but it was pretty sparse and didn't look as they were inspired by some cheap RPG-maker porn fanfic games or whatever.

Shameful the trite banality which passes for videogame writing nowadays

Also wtf, 5 years to make a half assed 7 hour game? Man, they must have overworked themselves to the bloody bones

​

Even if that were true: That would be the least of problems.

Plus: They must have tried hard to not be another Owlcat then.

I just love how CRPGs always get away with padding their playtime via hundreds of trash mob and copypaste combat, uninspired quests and walls of text, all rolling straight from the CRPG factory line. Actually, they're being recommended for it. As if that "100 hours of playtime" tag was a CRPG seal of official quality in itself. As if a game making you spend days of your lifetime with it was something inherently worthwile in itself.

Meanwhile, whenever a game is rumored to er on the shorter site, it's Sauron Incarnate at work: They must be trying to rip you off. Avoid until discount. This is doubly disheartening, as especially on a tight budget (e.g. NOT BG3), balancing campaign length and polish/quality/iteration is a zero-sum tradeoff. That's why in Obsidian's Pillars Of Eternity, there is exactly one stand-out quest early on: the Raedric questline, which you can start and resolve in numerous ways. And why so many CRPGs are filled to the brim with combat: It's the cheapest way to lengthen your campaign.

And most CRPG developers are on tight budgets... encouraged by their very fans to waste their time with filler, as opposed to spending the few bucks on quality. The original Fallout would have a real rough time were it to be released today. That's a game that you can finish in between two meals, with barely ever engaging in combat any. All depending on your character build and route you take through the game. You know, role-playing and stuff.

War. War has changed.

Nobody forces devs to make 100 hour games filled with repetitive trash.

Arcanum. You can finish it in 40-50 hours.
Bloodlines. 30-40 hour game.
Dragonfall. 30-40 hours.
Geneforge. 40 hours if i remember it right.
Arx Fatalis. Around 30.

30-50h = good medium.

Blame pozzfinder:bugmaker.

 

[Reinhardt]

50 hours is bare minimum

 

[Broseph]

Judging from the reviews it seems like Craig wasn’t lying, he really did want to make the game as bad as it could possibly be.

 

[Lord_Potato]

50 hours is bare minimum

Yeah, such statement is expected from a jrpg enjoyer.

You guys truly love the grind.

 

[Reinhardt]

"finishing" game is not the goal. playing and enjoying is.
if all you care about is to reach ending then games you play are shit and you should just watch ending on youtube.

 

[Lord_Potato]

You guys haven't seen anything yet.

Jews have been added to target list.

No they haven't lmao what is this cope.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Listen closely for the first 3 seconds. Then close the video.

In case that is not enough, there's this part to let you know the writing is most certainly garbage:



"Every male is a soyboy or shy/timid or incompetent, every female is a grrrl boss"

This sounds even worse than the outer turds. This is not even going into the "buy when really discounted" box.

thesecret1

You are, apparently.

Cocksucking fucking retard. The review I linked is from an easter european with 30k subs and half of those hate his guts. Absolute moron.
Edit: Oh yeah, he's a codexer as well. That's where I found him. The man is great when analyzing the tactical underlay of games.

Sorry, my mum says I don't have to talk with idiots anymore.

Bye

Pretty idiotic of your mom to say that so you don't even have to heed that advice in the first place.

You're perhaps not watching what's happening on horizon. WOKE Left hates openly Israel and chants on streets to destroy it while alternative right like PBD podcast with 5.44m subs has open discussion with Candice Owens on X and elsewhere "What is even antisemitism" and calls Daily Wire "Daily Jewish Wire" with more and more normie right-wingers asking questions why America behaves like Israel's battle french maid. More and more normies everywhere are talking about Jews in way it was talked about them in 1920s

Believe me, veil on Jews is being lift and I have feeling that they are ready to shut down whole internet before letting veil being lifted completely

Current generation of Jews like Infinitron are smug retards. Instead of leaving at least one seni-based publisher of video games, they made them all WOKE. What are 100s of millions of White chuds with no gf, no money, no house, no good vidya and nothing but hatred from mainstream gonna do? Just closed eyes, a single tear drops and die? LMAO. We gonna fight. Perhaps the most smug and most retarded generation of Jews in last 1000 years

 

[The Wall]

I won't derail this thread about shitty goyslop gayme nor post here more. I said enough. If Infinitron moves all the posts that he hates, he proves my words right. If he doesn't, it's still the truth

Stupid Yids have overplayed their hands. I BEGGED them for years for compromise. Now it's too late. We're living in begining of their end. Do you know that they hate being called "stupid" more then anything else? Stupid, stupid, stupid Yids

Woke leftists are just useful idiots they have no idea of the power Jews actually wield.

When that token black woman in Harvard started running her mouth off about Jews, she was swiftly taken out and a literally Jew is now in charge of the university.

Woke people don't control anything.

I blame Bioware for starting the trend of bloated games. More specifically, Baldur's Gate 2. They just kept tossing ideas around and barely tying them together. It's a very messy game and it's a miracle that it turned out as good as it did.

BG1 feels far more bloated then the sequel, with it's large number of wilderness maps that feel empty and pointless. Not to mention the cities filled with equally empty and pointless houses.

The second game fixes this issue by making less but more complex locations and having large variety of enemy encounters.

 

[Fargus]

Can't be worse than NWN1 OC. This is one of those games where you'd rather kill yourself than continue playing.
