miniu, do gaming w 5 years after shutting down, MOBA hero shooter Gigantic is coming back

Cool idea to revive failed live services as non-bullshit single-pay games. So much work wasted otherwise. Could lead to some fine games :)

Rhotisserie, do games w 5 years after shutting down, MOBA hero shooter Gigantic is coming back

Hell yeah, I loved this game! Reaching the end stage and watching as your giant opened up the enemy giant for the final push was always epic.

Hope it stays alive longer this time.

I’m crying I loved this game so much, even enough to pilfer through the convoluted mess it is to join a private server lobby to continue playing. Ahh I’m so excited!

Gigantic looks something like Smite? Is that what I am getting here? I was hoping for an Overwatch / Team Fortress clone (unironically). I really need some more competition for this type of game.

Blue_Morpho, do scifi w Frank Herbert always thought Star Wars was a Dune ripoff

Click bait. This is from an interview from before Herbert saw Star Wars.

“while Herbert hadn’t yet seen the movie, he did have some thoughts about its similarities to his seminal series,”

Although it goes on to say that Herbert continued to have resentment for Starwars for the rest of his life.

Heretics of Dune:

“He’s a three P-O,” they said, meaning that such a person surrounded himself with cheap copies made from déclassé substances.

Don’t even get me started on Fern Gully being a rip-off of Dune!

merde, do scifi w Frank Herbert always thought Star Wars was a Dune ripoff

isn’t Star Wars an imitation of Asimov’s Foundation ?

Why did Polygon include the CTWC video at the top of their page instead of BlueScuti's?

They are already stealing his views reposting his entire video with some bullshit commenting from them over the top of it and now Polygon is supporting that kind of behavior.

The kid did the work, give him the damn views.

ttsci,

Thanks for mentioning the original source! Here’s BlueScuti’s video, to save everyone else some searching. The moment he beats it is here, at 38:30.

If not for Planescape being on there I would have assumed they meant only more recent games. No Jade Empire. No KOTOR. Not even Neverwinter Nights or Fallout 1 & 2 or Icewind Dale. Let alone all the classic SSI Goldbox games or even Bard’s Tale (the original from the 80’s not that shit on Xbox).

Disappointed not to see Jade Empire on the list. Some of the best party interactions ever

Best ending dialogue to a video game ever.

“It’s time to punch a mountain… Into space!

CookieOfFortune, do games w 14 great games to try if you loved Baldur’s Gate 3

No mention of Pathfinder? I was playing Wrath of the Righteous right before BG3 and it makes BG3 seem so tiny(mechanics wise) in comparison.

GCanuck,

I was disappointed by the lack of Pathfinder. To the point where I think this author isn’t credible.

BG3 is a much prettier game. And by a lot.

But the Pathfinder games are a more immersive adventure.

Bademantel, do games w 14 great games to try if you loved Baldur’s Gate 3

They mentioned Divinity: Original Sin 2 which is no surprise. I couldn’t be bothered to finish Act 2. It’s unforgiving, takes a very long time and becomes a bit stale after a while. I know it wasn’t that way for most players. But I fear I’d have the same sentiment with Baldur’s Gate 3.

How can one talk about Disco Elysium without mentioning the writing even once

bionicjoey, do games w 14 great games to try if you loved Baldur’s Gate 3

About the level of writing I’ve come to expect from a listicle, but I take particular issue with the fact that they list Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 as separate items but clump the three Dragon Age games together into one, when the Dragon Age games have much more variation between each game than the POE games do.

johannesvanderwhales,

Yeah that blanket rec for Dragon Age is kind of not great, especially since I don’t think 2 in particular is very similar to BG.

bionicjoey, (edited )

I haven’t played 3, but yeah I’d agree with that. DA:O is basically the source of the formula used to make BG3

Unfortunately it’s gone from there now too

Unfortunately, the news that it won’t be available digitally is a huge blow to the game’s availability.

If only there were other, off-market alternatives for acquiring video games that aren’t subjected to licensing agreements… 🤔

Gork,

Paying a sketchy dude with Bitcoin who arranges a carrier pigeon USB stick drop to your window at 3 AM?

SolOrion,

I knew it wasn’t just me that buys from Greasy Bob!
