Re: What game are you playing now?

I think the 2D sprites are generated from the 3D models in real time. If so, it's even more impressive that they went through the trouble! It's a cool effect. --- West of Loathing This is just such a relaxing RPG to play. There are no stakes at all (you cannot die as far as I can tell), but the …

West of Loathing Well, this was a pleasant surprise. I knew of this game, but was under the mistaken assumption that it was basically just a joke game for hipsters. Instead, it turns out to be a funny RPG... but it's a REAL RPG and no joke, with freeform character building, unique companions to …

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I finally completed the game! This is one of those games that I've tried over and over to get into ever since it was released on the XBOX. In fact, I got an XBOX specifically to play this game, though I never got very far into it back then. I think three …

I'm playing Might & Magic 1 Secret of The Inner Sanctum on a Turbo XT machine with EGA graphics. It's tough on me as I was introduced to the series on MM3 when it came out, then MM6. This put a high bar of expectations, so MM1 is now a big struggle, but I want to go through it still because the …

I just completed Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession (link: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1219182#p1219182) and was pleasantly impressed with it. I'm seriously considering Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra next. I'm in the character creation screen now and love watching the dice bouncing …

Septerra Core This is one I never played back in the day, though I recall seeing it in ads and on store shelves. I remember at the time dismissing it as some kind of fake Japanese RPG, perhaps some kind of crass attempt to sell a game to the FF7 fans, so I never really gave it the time of day. Well …

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I decided to resume this one. I previously had completed the first planet, which gets you access to the rest of the planets. I decided to go with Tatooine, since that's where the first movie starts. I was surprised at how tiny this area is! What's worse is …

I think both swords actually would have the same damage range in effect, since the + is also added to all damage rolls (a +3 sword is incapable of doing just 1 damage, minimum would be 4). That would make the Paladin's Sword the better weapon, since it also has a higher chance of hitting (as …

Diablo IV Free to play on Steam for six days! ...what they don't tell you, until you actually download all 80 gigs or whatever, is that it's the "trial version" limited to character level 20 so that you cannot actually complete the game... in other words, it's a demo of the game, but for some …

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction Finished! I actually had made it to the area right before the last boss, without realizing how little game I had left. I finished Diablo II (w/o expansion) earlier this year, and went away somewhat disappointed. I found the "field" maps to be too big and empty, and …

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction Well, I think I'm near the end of this one, since I just discovered the final waypoint. I did end up replacing my belt with a better item, so it wasn't all a waste. I also finally reached a level where I could use some crazy mace I found in base Diablo II; it's a nice …

I'm not getting many search results back. They're just too polluted with people talking about D2: Resurrected, D3 and D4. But I saw some evidence Bloody Runs got nerfed post 1.10. I know I did most of my D2 playing between 1.07 and 1.09. I think that's roughly when the expansion pack first came out …

Huh, the loot you say you are finding in Act V sounds off from my very distant recollection. I remember it being a smorgasbord of upgrades back in the day. "Bloody runs" in the Bloody Foothills were an extremely reliable means of farming exp and decent loot drops. What version are you playing? I …

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction I completed the base game earlier this year and was going to save the expansion for next year... but it felt weird to not complete the entire game in the same year lol. Anyway, I started playing LoD . So far, I'm not sure that I like it. It looks great (I'm still …

Pillars of Eternity Completed! I became totally addicted to this game over the last couple of weeks. Steam reports 88 hours, but that includes several failed attempts over the years. The current attempt took just under 53 hours, and I did pretty much everything I could find, including the 15-level …

Really glad to hear you are enjoying it, your experience so far mirrors mine. The megadungeon has a very difficult end boss.. Without spoiling much I'll just say I got TPK'ed about 20 times before I killed it, and that time I managed it I had only one party member standing with about 10 HP. Thanks! …

Pillars of Eternity I think finally completing BG1 and Icewind Dale is what really made this game click for me. I don't love real-time with pause combat, but it's handled quite well here. The game provides all the information you'd need to know in the combat log (and by hovering the cursor over …

Pillars of Eternity After a short break I'm back to playing this. I've given this game a few tries over the years, but it never really hooked me until this last attempt. Anyway, I spent a couple of enjoyable hours progressing the main quest in Act II and completing a side quest that was …

Re: Remastering games, is it really worth it?

Posted on 2023-10-13, 17:02

IMO remastering only makes sense on consoles without backwards compatibility. For PC, it makes no sense at all. So many Windows games still play fine on modern operating systems, and if a game doesn't work "out of the box" there is almost always some fan made patch or something to get it working. …
