Thanks! I have just bought a bunch of new games I will most likely never play.
Steam Deck has been a game changer. Easier to play a crappy game for 10 minutes on a handheld while watching tv.
Bought BG3 at a discount! 💪
Not to be a contrarian, the game is good, but I seriously don’t understand how it’s one of the best games ever made. Just my opinion no one asked for, but I know I can’t be alone. Only other game I can think that’s more overhyped is breath of the wild.
Sounds like those just weren’t your type of game. Chances are I could toss a rock at work and hit someone who thinks COD is the best franchise on the planet. Not saying you’re wrong, your opinion is valid, just that to people who lean even a little more towards that kind of experience, to them these games are gold.
Facts sister/brother, spit your shit indeed!
Everyone knows the best games ever made belong to the King’s Quest series by Sierra.
/j…mostly…
BG3 is annoying as fuck. There’s far too much sequential quest nesting that blocks you out of content for no reason. Not to mention the bugs. Save scumming shouldn’t be part of normal gameplay.
I’m 100 hours in and just about to wrap up the story (I think). And I’m gonna go back and replay because I skipped a TON in acts 1 and 2. It’s such a good game
It’s honestly the only modern game worth $70 imo. One campaign run is like 126+ hours. Additional playthroughs are possible from other characters, which tells the story from different perspectives. Can go to areas you missed in the first playthrough, too :)
Is it $70 somewhere? I got it for $60 on gog and steam says $60 too. Unless you’re Canadian or something
No, it is $60, I just feel like other studios don’t work half as hard as Larian does per title and still charge more money.
The sheer amount of script and voice acting in the game is insane. All the balanced fights, scripted scenes, level designs, characters, mo-cap, and rigging…I don’t even want to think how many hours that all mist have taken. Not to mention developing and writing a script, each with multiple choices and logic branches.
…meanwhile COD and 2K Sport game are reskinning their games every year and charging $70 and putting Nicki Minaj as an operator, haha. More power to them. It just feels like one studio is putting in the effort to justify a higher price and still charging the normal price.
Just bought and played through Pony Island. $.75 and 2.5 hours later, a nice little experience.
If you haven’t played it already - Inscryption - by the same author - is also really good.
… and I should lay off the emdash for the rest of the night.
I’m VERY tempted to buy Fallout 4: Game of the Year edition due to my hype for Fallout: London (which releases in April of this year), but I’m worried of getting burned if it turns out to be a bad/disappointing mod. :/
Buy it, don’t play it so you keep play time under 2 hours, refund it if it turns out to be a disappointment, keep it if not!
If you liked FO3 you’ll like 4.
It’s a lot stronger mechanically than 3 or NV - shooting is a lot less janky and the gun customization adds some great emergent quests.
The Boston of FO4 has its moments - a certain duck pond stands out to me in particular - but aside from Nick Valentine the questlines are largely forgettable.
Still, the core game loop is a lot of fun - go here, blow stuff up, scavenge bits to upgrade your stuff.
As a longtime Fallout fan (came for the isometric apocalypse, stayed for the 3D googie architecture) I still put 80 hours into FO4.
It’s a good fuckin’ game. It’s just competing with the legacy of a lot of other great games in the series.
I bought a cat game where you need to find and click 100 of them! They had cute noises and every single cat was named!
