Yeah, I also thought it was a weird decision when it was announced. Risk of Rain made the jump though so I was hopeful, but this still has time to turn around
So where is the Morrowind? I don’t see anything that reminds me of Morrowind, except that it is first person and has some elements of an RPG. But nothing explicitly Morrowind. One could call this a mix between Doom and Ultima and still get the same description.
Also, this games animations need a lot of work. They don’t match the texture quality (which seems to be inconsistent with some textures looking good and others looking extremely flat), and make the game feel like some slav-jank 2002 mod.
Together? Because I’ve never been able to play any of their games without major desync problems. The same desync bug has been in every one of their games since the beginning.
Extremely lopsided balance between factions. Most had interesting mechanics, some basically useless and some wildly overpowered. Apparently the new-ish aqua faction has an overwhelming mobility advantage, things like that.
They added these game changing titans to the game at one point that you could defeat and employ, but this was either just luck of the draw or not possible for some factions.
Combat was meh to boring, generally. The “look at us go” turn based zoom in fights were very boring to watch, and more boring to play.
The game dragged. Just dragged, to finish. I played dozens of times, and I dont think i fully finished the game more than maybe 3 times.
All that said, the games world building, plot, and overall interesting mechanics makes me hopeful for this sequel. If they can keep the fascinating lore going and fix the “game” issues, i’ll be there for it.
I loved it as well. Honestly, all of the DLC well fitting except the last one which wasn’t bad but I wouldn’t play with it on every campaign like all of the others.
Plus being able to host and let everyone else without the DLC play with those factions was awesome. I honestly might download it and play a campaign or two.
Currently? Originally it was a hate mob 4chan created to target women in the game industry
Edit: oh nice, the article covers that
a febrile harassment campaign, originally sparked by somebody’s clownishly toxic grudge against their ex, who sometimes advertise themselves as being about “ethics in games journalism”
I still enjoyed the first game but wasn’t one of the lead devs on KCD a capital G Gamer? I remember some… interesting tweets from him. Was he booted or did he change his ways?
Edit: Derp, should have just read the article before commenting. Fascism eats its own yet again.
Couldn’t have happened to nicer people. Reap what you sow.
If you’ve ever had to deal with a Gamergate dogpiling campaign, you are probably high as a kite on schadenfreude right now. You are probably knocking back a huge mug of crocodile tears.
Somehow had no idea about the director. Shame. I was considering buying the game on GOG, and from the sounds of it, it’s actually pretty good despite his involvement. Ah well.
I have lost my job to wider cuts a few times myself and on reflection, I think I prefer being “aligned” or “realigned” inasmuch as it makes me feel like a cool laser satellite. But I am not immune to the frictive charms of being “restructured”, which makes me feel like a Transformer
I absolutely love the comments on RPS. It’s hits like these which makes me keep coming back.
