>>4070471Exodus and Dawnwalker are two RPGs I'm genuinely excited about and rooting for. 2020s are turning out to be damn good for genre.
>>4070471Exodus:Time dilation for Exodus is an interesting sci-fi theme but I don't think video game writers are going to have the experience to do it justice and emotional octopus dialogue is not only lol but most likely a woke tip hiding the berg underneath. I watched the trailer with octopi and women running around in dumpy looking robot suits and further lol'd already. Then we have another annoying "multi tool arm" mechanic for some reason as if that stupid gimmick why anyone played Mass Effect in the first place so they had to copy it. Result: I further sense the hand of dumb wokoids/corpo copycat drones at the tiller.Expanse:I kind of like the "upkeep the ship" cowboy bebop vibe for the expanse marketblurb there. This is probably what video game writers can handle.I like Owlcat, but their 2d mechanics were kind of jank though, how are they going to do in 3d?Never saw Expanse either, what's it actually about?
>>4070675>Dawnwalker4 days left.
>>4070689My prediction: people see it as 8/10 because people already played witcher, but Dawnwalker becomes the "cult classic" RPG of the 2020. At the very least I hope success big enough that enables the studio to make another game comfortably.As for Exodus, I need to see more, but I'm thinking it has the makings of another cult classic.Let's hope for the best.
>>4070844Dawnwalker seems blissfully free of stupid reddit shit for a change, and heavy vampire superpowered parkour we haven't really seen integrated with RPGs before. Avowed had good parkour but not to the same degree. My money is on Dawnwalker.

>>4070471i've seen all the marketing material and read both book series.the expanse universe is so repulsive and grubby, and almost* every story it's ever told is either preachy, demoralizing, hateful of the human condition, mundane**, or misery porn. i cannot see myself enjoying anything set there. **i doubt we're getting an important and significant story in a prequel. more like "here's how those stealth ships who destroyed the donnager got there"the exodus universe is very large and has lots of room for mystery and big plots and generally doesn't seem as dull and ugly as the expanse. based on the setup in the novels, you can have a massive in scope story without significantly impacting the overall universe so there's no limiting frame within which they have to fit the plot like in the expanse game.unfortunately the character models and animations in exodus are awful, and the writing doesn't seem too great either. but overall i'm more hopeful for exodus. the character models and dialogue in the expanse were extremely bland too.
>>4070602Strife
>>4070471Neither unless I upgrade my potato PC. On the off chance I do, both.>>4071509>the expanse universe is so repulsive and grubbyHaven't watched the show yet and I don't have the time (and the patience) to read all 9 books that are at least 500 pages long each, but do you still consider it worthwhile to get into the series before trying Osiris Reborn? I understand that the game will take place in the background of certain book/series events, so the flexibility of the choices the game offers will likely be limited (not that is a bad thing).>there's no limiting frame within which they have to fit the plot like in the expanse gameWell, there is since Hamilton said the events covered in Exodus books take place a few hundred years after the game. That means that all five Now and Forever Queens are still out and about, and nothing done in the game will ever be so impactful as to attract their notice. Again, that doesn't have to be a bad thing, but we were explicitly said that our decisions will shape Lidon's future. The fate of a habitable moon in Crown Dominion isn't something Celestials would ignore, no matter how deep their heads are up their own asses.Personally, I think that the decision to have the game be a prequel to the book was a terrible one, cause the (admittedly very poorly done and rushed) ending of the second book leaves the Centauri Cluster in disarray that is teeming with interesting storytelling opportunities.

>>4071557>Haven't watched the show yet and I don't have the time (and the patience) to read all 9 books that are at least 500 pages long each, but do you still consider it worthwhile to get into the series before trying Osiris Reborn?maybe just the audiobooks, and only if you have tons of free time to fill that you couldn't fill another way. i know you said you don't have the time to read, but, if you've got hours per day spent walking or driving like i do, you can pick up the audiobooks. i found the experience of reading the expanse extremely miserable but i will say that it had a very engaging opening and a satisfying ending, compared to most other long-running series. it's just all the stuff inbetween that i found so dull and tedious.if you don't even have time for that, just read the wiki, it'll get you caught up on the main story beats.>Well, there is since Hamilton said the events covered in Exodus books take place a few hundred years after the game. That means that all five Now and Forever Queens are still out and aboutdo you have a link to that hamilton interview? i had an extremely tough time figuring out when exactly the books take place compared to the game. and anyway, isn't the planet in question (lidon, right?) outside of the celestial dominion? they just got mentioned because they were influential among humans. so the queens don't necessarily need to play a role.
>>4071562>maybe just the audiobooksGood point, I'll check them out eventually.>do you have a link to that hamilton interview?You can hear him say it's 150 years after the game in this interview around the 3min mark:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXy7EUDaqqMHowever, Karpyshyn later said that the Archimedes Engine is set roughly 300 or 400 years after the game, so take that as canon:https://www.polygon.com/exodus-preview-narrative-story/>isn't the planet in question (lidon, right?) outside of the celestial dominion?You're right, I just had a brainfart. The Secret Level episode about Exodus explicitly mentions Lidon as a frontier world inhabited by first-generation Arkship inhabitants (that's also where the redhead companion is from) and I vaguely recall some part of the book mentioning the Malakbel star system, where Lidon is in. The books really needed a map showing the locations of star systems and what Dominion owns it, cause at some point all those places start sounding interchangeable. Czech publishers of the books even had to made a map of their own if I'm not mistaken.
>>4071510Strife is a pretty cool game even if it's overly ambitious
>>4071510Loved Strife. Only had the demo though, never saw the full thing. Game felt super cool and huge back in the day.
