What am I in for?
/thread
>>3940410not a lot. basic combat, three enemy types, a very small map. you'll be bored before you've even finished it, the game lasts 10 hours if you're lucky.
>>3940410 Just watch Snek, you'll save more time that way:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi7fikwiMDs
>>3940410Play Avowed. It;s a better version of everything Greedfall does
>>3940410Being the legate of the congregation.
>>3940508evrojank sovl
>>3940410Boredom. The game, from both a mechanical and storyline perspective, is a snoozer.
>>3940573The story's only bad when you know all of it. The first 2/3rds of the mystery are pretty good.
>>3940410>Oh, it's YOU, on ol menawi!"Over and over and over
>>3940410every "town" is copy pasted with different color flags on top.
>>3940410the combat feels like fable 2, the story feels like generic ubislop, and the rpg elements are decent, but there are better games. this one needed more features, more gameplay elements, and a deeper quest line with more side quests.
>>3940410I really liked this game. what's the deal with the sequel? didn't they change the gameplay and make you play as a woman and relase it as early access slop?
>>3943251Character creation, released fully 2 days ago, gameplay became RtwP instead of action RPG
>>3943252ah ok. so is it good?
>>3943252>gameplay became RtwP instead of action RPGIs that like dragon age inquisition?
>>3943254>>3943255No idea, I will download it today
>>3943258same. I played the first one but don't think my PC will run this one despite it looking exactly the same graphically.
>>3940410main quest headlock if you do quests in wrong order apperantly
>>3940410decently fun eurojank
>>3940410a fine game. Not a great one. Not a bad one. Just a fine one. I preferred The Technomancer over Greedfall, but I know for most it is the opposite. Dont go in expecting it to be AAA because it is not that. Spiders is a good studio making good games. Greedfall 2 is supposed to release this year, by the way.
>>3943462My bad it released 2 days ago. Like >>3943252this anon said.
>>3940507This. I don't think there is any other game that makes you feel so powerful politically and respected right from the get-go.>>3943462After playing both Technomancer and GreedFall, they are basically the same mechanically, but Mars and its eternal war between commies and priests is a little bit more interesting than Ottomans, French and Rome colonizing Ireland.Also, started The Dying World yesterday, so far I only got a ship and can finally travel freely. Prologue on Teer Fradee is pretty good, than until you get the ship it gets a bit boring bcause of lack of side content. I wish there was choice of exploration/tactical and character mode like in NWN2 and option to rebind way controls an camera work, like single click instad of double to move character, inspect mode working with isometric camera rather than forcing 3rd person and option to bind camera to movement (right now camera turns with a character only uring sprint, else you ned to rotate it manually). I know I like combat a bit more, but I am more into cRPGs than action RPG. I am just wondering about level cap, it seems like max attributes is 20 and I have it almost unlocked despite feeling like I barely finished the prologue.
It feels like a game made by people who loved BioWare games but are either >not talented >just new and need some more practiceAfter I beat the game I remember thinking “I bet Greedfall 2 is going to better, the Devs will have ironed out the problems”It’s like a student film.
>>3940410It's eurojank and it's ludo
>>3943462>I preferred The Technomancer over GreedfallSame, I think for me Greedfall had too many busywork sidequests that bogged down the game's pacing, Technomancer had its fair share too but not nearly as many. I also preferred its soundtrack although I believe they have the same composer who’s worked on most of Spiders games so far. That said I'm a fan of both games desu, I'll definitely be getting the sequel soon
>>3940410Spider's only game that wasn't total jank and when they approached respectable studio status. Then it was followed up by Greedfall 2 and now I'll be shocked if they don't go bankrupt.
>>3944441their games were always made on fraction of what must've been bioware's budget. also, everyone forgets about bound by flame.
is it me or Greedfall 2 fucking blows ? >starts inside the forest where your people lives>get hoisted into doing a few tasks for your promotion>everything goes fine except i can't do any other sidequests>do promotion and suddenly everything goes tits up>change of scenery, i'm expecting the proper games will be starting now ... >... except it kinda doesn't and after a couple of quests, and a whole lot of walking, shit goes tits up again>have to kill a boss and then there's another change of scenery>idiotic argument between navigators fellating my green navigator how she's goot at being a navigator and gives her a ship for free>literally 2 minutes later shit goes tits up again and my almost green navigator gets imprisoned>i'm predicting that once i bail out of jail the nigress navigator i will have my own ship and the game will start once againsorry for the blog, but this pacing is weird as hell, all i'm doing is walking around, collect a few worthless materials that i can't use because i dont have crafting, do some combat and thats it, i can't even talk to my people because they yap about something about we being guests and would be rude if we talk in private ? what kind of argument is that ?
>>3944853What happened was publisher went tits up and rushed ALL projects to release. Greedfall 2 is not ready yet.
>>3940410Not much. The story is mostly okay, the companions are pretty forgettable, and the combat is outright boring. It's also quite evident that the game is unfinished with how blantant the constant reuse of assets is.>3 culturally distinct factions in 3 different locations>they all have the exact same generic HQ because the devs ran out of budget to design three different castlesI wouldn't say it's terrible overall, just really bland.
>>3944441>BioWare games but are either >>not talented >>just new and need some more practiceYou forgot #3: Zero budget.But "cheap Bioware wannabe" has been Spiders' MO since long before Greedfall. If you play Technomancer or Mars War Logs you can practically see "we want the Mass Effect audience" written on the walls.
>>3944905Nah, bro. To make gf2 good you need to remake it from the ground up. It's godawful plotwise. I'm around 40h in and it doesn't get better. At all.
>>3945672NTA but I've gotten to the point where you get your ship, it seems pretty average storywise but I'm atleast enjoying the combat so far. Kind of mixed on them opening up the world with a thousand ways to go and all the companion quests, seems like a bit much.
>>3940488Avowed certainly has its own problems, but I wouldn't disagree with that.
>>3940508mwahaaAAAAAAAAAAaaa...the french...eurojank...
>>3946400>I'm atleast enjoying the combat so farAre you kidding me? It's atrocious.
>>3940410I liked it a lot, haven't played the sequel yet.
Finished The Dying World and it's so obvious game was pushed out before it's ready. Bugs are one thing, but from two main locations available, Peren and Olima, only the latter has any side content different than companion quests, Coin Guard companion has no quest at all, second act of the game adds only one new location apart from the endgame dungeon, most of the time you fight with humans and it's painfully obvious that Deutan was going to be a second act location. Clocked in 50 hours with two quests not finished because of the bugs. I liked combat enough, much more dynamic than DnD based RTwP and at least that was working properly all the way through, even though somtimes party AI made really retarded decisions in the middle of the combat (you need to pick out enemies one by one, if party spreads out they get fucked over quickly) and you don't really get options of crowd control until endgame, and you are usually going to be outnumbered. Dialogue can be really bad on occasions, story is okay, I guess, but I have a feeling like it develops too quickly, many things are only skimmed on or are resolved offscreen or almost immediately. If you aren't especially crazy about AA RPGs or you really liked first GreedFall, skip it. Kinda sucks it ended up that way, I was waiting for this to fully release and I just want now to replay the first one.
>>3950128I'd rather play a sequel that takes place after GF1's "bad" ending. Now THAT would be the Dying World
>>3940488Never going to play this woke shit.
>>3950148They're both games where you play a noble representative with shit on their face to decide the fate of some colony. The only difference is one is more fun to play and has more than 3 enemy types
>>3950160I will not play Avowed for sure because I hate Obsidian after Tyranny, but does it have an equivalent of "I am marquis de Sardet, legate of the Congregation of Merchants" which basically means "I can do whatever the fuck I want because none of you niggas want me to be your enemy"?
>>3950179As I recall, Greedfall is basically you represnt some merchant city state that's essential support to all of the factions so you can basically just do whatever you want In Avowed it's more like you're from fantasy Britain, there's a bunch of different factions of settlers on the island that already don't like you, and there's a few different ways to go from there. There's not really a native group either aside from some dwarves that don't really give a shit.So no, there's not some title namedrop to get your way a bunch. They just say envoy a lot. Frankly the only way Greedfall is better is dialogue options where Avowed has some really atrocious ones, particularly in the first part of the game
>>3940410It's weird is a game about Colonialism but I can't be a True Colonist/Conqueror is too nice, it's obviously made by French
>>3950230On the other side, if you played it, you know exactly why you cannot play rough with islanders.
>>3940410>What am I in for?Bioware on a budget with quite fun combat.
>>3944911>If you play Technomancer or Mars War Logs you can practically see "we want the Mass Effect audience" written on the walls.Interesting because i, and some of my friends, were interested in it coming from Fallout and wanting some more postapoc atmosphere in a more traditional RPG pack.Of Orcs And Men though, literally that but with Dragon Age audience. And it will never not warm my heart how its best character got a spinoff much more sucsesseful than the game itself.
Started the sequel, I like the new menu theme and the callback to the first's character creation. Not sure how I feel about the new combat desu, it's serviceable at least. Just broke out of the fort in Olima, will pick it up again tomorrow
