I’m seeing some people apparently excited for the new exodus game that is being made by old bioware employees. But what’s there to get excited about? For one almost all western big budget games are terrible so this will have to be an exception. And second is that there is this meme that bioware was always good and that it was just EA or all the new hires and old staff leaving that made it bad. But that’s wrong. David Gaider was the lead writer on all three dragon age games. One of the best writers who wrote the dwarf sections in origins was in da2 as a writer. Casey Hudson was the creative lead on all three mass effect games. Mike laidlaw was lead in origins through inquisition. Who exactly are these bioware staff members who left? Mass eff t 3 sucked. Da2 and inquisition were bad games. Mass effect still has the writer who wrote Tali. Even some people who left have come back for dragon age veil guard. Besides the doctors, the actual people who made the games seemed to have stayed on for the most part. This is why I don’t see what’s to get excited about with exodus.the real truth of why bioware was so popular back int rh day is because they had absolutely zero competition. Nobody else was making the kind of games they were. Kotor, dao, me1 and 2. You basically had cs project red and obsidian. And it’s not a coincidence that biowares reputation started to tank after with her 3 came out. It was their first real competition. Yes they put a bunch of work stuff in the games but IMO they do that to try and stand out. They are the company of that caters to that more than any other. But they were never good writers. I recently went back to dao and me1 and the writing is so boring and drags on and on. Either 3 having slightly better writing was all it took to reveal how shallow bioware writing always has been. People get confused with wokeness and believe prior to going full woke they were good but they weren’t.
the old bioware employees were shit too. maybe if you said ancient bioware employees. i have a feeling these are the retards that worked on me2 and da2 which puts them firmly in the garbage category

>>3560303>me2 and da2 which puts them firmly in the garbage categoryME2 was good, and DA2 was made like in a year
>>3549322>But what’s there to get excited about?Maybe they manage to make something good
>>3563828I wish some of them would get a real sci fi writer on the staff.Mass Effect as a sci fi concept had something there to begin with, so did reapers. It's like the Qunari, they teed up something good and then let overinflated sense of self worth dyke hacks step up and slice it off into their vagina bush instead. No amount of their cuck ball carriers polish could save it after that.I'd rather they go with space magic, vapid people like leftists can deliver magic stories better than they can sci fi because nothing requires consistency or logic there.
You are tasked with pitching an RPG game idea to Big Ounce, professional street nigga. If he likes it, he will fund your game 100%, no strings attached. What's your pitch?

I don't really care about the story, is the dressup aspect of Lightning Returns any good? I just wanna make her a cute little doll to play with
>>3561839Mods, many of the games that stood the test of time have a lot of mods.

Just finished the game.I mostly ran H'aanit, Olberic, Tressa, and Ophilia. I liked how H'aanit and Tressa's combat roles changed over the the course of the game. Tressa changes from just being a BPslut to having the highest potential damage output of all the base jobs. I really liked H'aanit's mechanic of capturing monsters and attacking with them. It made exploring and fighting new trash mobs fun, and he also went from being the top damage dealer to being nearly useless depending on what she had on her and what you were up against. For most of the game she was my favorite, and at quarrycrest I wished I could swap her out. It tapered off into uselessness by act 4 though. First the late game monsters just have ridiculously low capture rates, at 1 hp and fully boosted they were at like 20%, at that point it's just frustrating, and once you've experimented with using them their charges are half spent. Secondly the top monsters are weaker compared to the top weapons and skills, this is fine. I like how her party role changes from boss fight damage dealer to utility, and I can't imagine beating any of the job bosses without leghold. The mechanic where each character can interact with npcs a certain way was mostly just annoying, this was greatly exacerbated by some bosses not showing up until I fetch Cyrus, have him talk to a key NPC, and then put him back in the inn where he belongs.Considering how simple they were the stories still managed to draw me in, the music probably helped a lot.
Does Path of Exile 2 have what it takes to save the ARPG genre?
>>3557778I think PoE is particularly insidious because outside of stash tabs which you basically only need to grab like $60-$100 worth of to be set for life you can't actually 'buy power.' What PoE does instead is make the game so bloated and RNG heavy that you are 'forced' to play hundreds of hours each reset to experience the full breadth of a seasonal playthrough.Which incentivises the player to want to buy cosmetic microtransactions out of a) guilt at enjoying a 'free' game of this magnitude and b) boredom from looking at the same thing for hundreds of hours. It's all of the sins of traditional F2P design (elongated achievement) without any of the accompanying intentionality to drive the player to buying a shortcut. It's just long for longness' sake.It's genuinely the ultimate autism game. Made by autists for autists.
>>3557020How about just release good games and stop trying to save or redefine arbitrary and abstractly defined things?
>>3561483GD does have hidden superbosses that will make you care about positioning but they're the exception.LE has a lot more of them as in a real regular feature. That's why it'll win out after a few more content delivery to catch up to GD's lead, though I like both games.
>>3563735Paying for stash tabs is absolutely crippleware in a diablo clone unless you believe sorting your inventory for 30 extra minutes every run doesn't cripple your power level.>It's genuinely the ultimate autism game. Made by autists for autists.It really is, I wish they had something else going for them besides autism since some of their ideas are halfway decent.

>>3563564The Council was alright, but it suffered from story going apeshit and episodic format lead to re-use of already limited number of locations. Swansong, in comparison, was devs getting the budget to make a complete game, fix the asset re-use and still somehow not learn anything.
>>3563791The main interesting thing about the Council is a game where the character building and dialogue was more fleshed out in terms of dialogue.
Why is every NPC a walking wikipedia infodump in this game?>No, you don't get it. It's too le smart for you even though it commits a fatal writing flaw which is constantly showering the reader with exposition dumps.This shit badly written and boring. Godawful combat system and graphics/visuals as well (it's so brown it looks like someone took a shit on my screen). I fail to see why it's so praised.
the obnoxious TES fan community here and elsewhere made me avoid these games like the plague. even more so than the shallow game mechanics of every entry.
>>3562907How do you know the game mechanics are shallow, if you've avoided them like the plague?
>>3562589God I wish OpenMW would stop removing features it's had for years to appeal to vanilla purists who will never stop playing the original engine anyway. It's like how TF2 ruined so many items and elements to appeal to comp fags who didn't even bother unbanned any of the new item reworks or playing Valve competitive.
>>3561660Use openmw, old engine is old, 32bit, limited memory, buggy, riddled with save corruption etc.Literally no reason to use it unless you want to play with some meme script extender mods like ashfall
>>3562859It will be fun to do like one time, but it's more fun to see yourself gradually becoming stronger and stronger to the point where you one hit skeletons that were a pain in the ass earlier
Will an RPG ever go mainstream without humans as an option? Imagine a whole world without Humans, Elves and Dwarves. Usually every franchise are only allowed one unique race, which is usually shafted to expand on the standard ones. What's the best 'new' race you've seen when playing? Something like the Huana or Qunari.
>>3563545>You know what, I will actually keep replying to youYou always do.>rantYes, humans are not killed by saltwater puddles.
>>3563549It's nice you love the abuse and being told how utterly braindead, incapable of discussion, how much of a subhuman you are (most likely into beastality considering your fascination with other races) and just how delciously ironic it is that such a fucking galactic retard as yourself thinks they're even above average intelligence.It's almost sad how insanely emotionally fragile you are. The the mere thought of challening your ideas is so utterly terrifying.Thanks, always nice to vent on the dumbest shitstains of humanity after treating them like rational mature people for naught. You're served your purpose, now shitpost alone ITT.
>>3563562Abuse? This is just the yapping of a small dog. I'm not even really reading your posts because they are so dull, just pick out a sentence or two and shit on it for being autistic drivel from someone preaching who doesn't even play video games but wants to posture as an expert on them.
>>3562606Like a Redwall RPG?

Does any of this matter? (Yes, I am still mad)
>>3563313I read 12 Rules and the sequel. They were both great.
>>3559288What truths did he tell exactly?
>Finally get around to playing Octopath 2>Play most of the chapter ones for each character>Like most of them apart from Ochette, fucking furry shit (but H’aanit was pretty meh too so whatever)>Leave Temenos to last, thinking he’ll be some milquetoast Ophilia clone>MFW they managed to make the religious character interesting.As soon as I heard he was the inquisitor for the Church of the Flame, I expected crap, but somehow his story is like top 3 from either game so far. Also have high hopes for Throne, but she just seems like a hybrid of Primrose and Theron so I’m not sure if she’ll beat either of their stories.
>>3551278Good game
>>3551278Castti's is also great. There's a reason why lots of players praise her story.
I felt similar but with Partitio. At first I was like "Ew I don't want this southern hick guy in my party. Can I just skip his story?" but now he's one of my favorite video game characters of all time.
Temenos has the drip
>>3558277He cute
This image frightens and enrages the pseud.
>>3563488>It's not a pseud opinion, it's quite literally just the only opinion you can have if you have above a 12 year old's understanding of video games.It's an opinion you adopted from online shitposting. Wait till you're above 17 and can think for yourself
>>3561544Doesn't matter, what I do know is you're gay
>>3562912>My bad, it was a jungle in the lore, not a swampland.The Argonian Account describes blackwood as swampy due to being so close to Black Marsh.>the world not reacting to you gives you a narcissistic injury.But it does react: the Black Horser Courier releases new editions as you progress through the quests, you are hailed as the champion of Bruma after the battle and receive a statue... You're still a hero, it's just that there's another one because the game is a big reference to Arena and Battlespire.
>>3563642>You're still a hero, it's just that there's another oneIn a sense your hero makes Martin a hero, saves and inspires him, and gets shit done. Hell, the champion is the one who unites Cyrodiil's forces, not the emperor or the empire, with the council being too busy worrying about the provinces. Baurus was another character with some initiative.The champion was the driving force throughout the story.
>>3563557Absolutely incorrect. I just played more games. Just like how I don't think Revenge of the Sith is the best movie ever anymore, because I just watched more movies. If your standards don't evolve as you grow up you're a manchild.
the best soulslike ever made
>>3558640>>3559062I'm surprised someone could actually finish this game, I was spending 3 hours glitching through walls and fighting with bugged enemy AI and just gave up
>>3559084I played it years after release, so I suppose that stuff got fixed.It's still very jank, but the level design makes up for it.
>>3559416I played it last year, so I guess it's still there
>>3555013NopeElden Ring is better
>>3558620He's a typical soulstard with an overinflated opinion of his own ability, what did you expect lol
