Play Pillars of Eternity I & II :) Yeah I've got a fair idea who will show up :) - one person anyway - based on whispers I heard earlier bouncing around the game-o-sphere! Going to have to check that out one day! So many RPGs to catch up on. For example I'm about to embark upon Breath of the Wild, …

The emotional/character commitment to those games increased when you played through the series transferring your party of characters from game to game. Reading all the Forgotten Realms books at the time also fleshed out the world hugely in the imagination (+ book/game crossovers and cameos which …

where combat eventually got to the point where all you were doing was hitting x times every round because your were simply the best option at all times. This to me fundamentally describes the type of grind which makes a subset of older games (and no doubt, newer ones too) difficult to commit to. …

How would people describe the unique appeals of the Ultima games? Because I could never get into them as a youngster in the 80s/90s. Despite playing tons of other role playing games and loving fantasy novels, etc. I just felt like a complete bored, clueless idiot in any Ultima game I tried. I would …

A lot of us have touched on personal nostalgia, which is of course one of (if not the) primary motivations. --- Thinking deeper about that reasoning, I think there may be a sub-element of that : namely, The Re-do, The Do-over . That is something we cannot do with our own lives. We cannot literally …

That's a good excuse for those middle aged people, though I firmly hold the opinion that not everything is for everyone and accessibility isn't always a good thing. It's also takes me often over 3 or 4 months to get through a longer game (according to achievements KDC took me from June 20 to …

Also I think there's a certain price-point at which it becomes nonviable, assuming it was done with the end-goal of small-run sales in a similar manner to the Orpheus card. (for a fully-committed cost-doesn't-matter prototype or POC, obviously that would not be so relevant) In my hastily-thought …

Hey there, This os my very first post here and when I saw this thread I figured it would be nicer to start with a confession to introduce myself rather than a "help me" first post. So, I must confess that by browsing many of these threads ( ' been lurking for a while now... ) I realized I don't …

On the WiiU, finished New SMB U, it was awesome. Polished, enjoyable game. A simple mechanic with endless tweaks keeping it mostly fresh. And production values through the roof - the quality of the music and sounds, the attention to detail in all the graphics, the to-a-T level design. Really cool. …
