Getting weird is why we love Bioshock so much.

DA:V was such a disappointment.

It was a Disneyfication of the world of Thedas, and none of us wanted a Dragon Age game with no meaningful choices and a G rating.

And, on the plus side, anyone lucky enough to have never played it can get DA:O and all of it’s DLC for like five bucks no.

Thank you for not making me sit through a video.

So… who’s getting what?

FlashMobOfOne, 3 dni temu

I think I’m going to get the Dead Space remake (90% off currently), Granny: Escape Together (I like horror), and Escape the Mad Empire to start.

Might pick up more later in the sale, but this will keep me busy.

Remember you can get things refunded if you don’t end up liking a game.

What a bummer. Might get it second hand then instead.

FlashMobOfOne, 7 dni temu

Did they fix the janky dodging and rolling though?

FlashMobOfOne, 7 dni temu

Yeah, I had to put it down.

The gameplay was ultimately just too annoying to me, which is a bummer because the ideas and aesthetic were exceedingly cool.

FlashMobOfOne, 7 dni temu

I hope you have fun with it. :)

Very cool. Congrats!

Good. WotC is wretched hive of scum and villainy.

This wasn’t part of Next Fest, but I devoured ‘Tainted Grail - Fall of Avalon’. Excellent demo.

I hope this iteration gives the player a more open world and a little more freedom than the previous entries, but it looks pretty neat!

FlashMobOfOne, 23 dni temu

Bummer.

Was hoping for a RDR-style Mafia game. Oh well.

Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon

Tried the demo and it hooked me. Great game so far.

I’m only in the second zone of the game but there’s a lot to see and do just in the starter dungeon and the game’s first zone. I’m really enjoying it so far.

Someone please remember to tell them that WE WANT FAST TRAVEL. The lack of it in the SW: Jedi games is so aggravating.

Dragon Age: Origins and Bioshock

FlashMobOfOne, miesiąc temu

Hands-down the best AAA title (in both content and value) in years.

The dodging on this game was frustratingly buggy.

FlashMobOfOne, miesiąc temu

Or get it second-hand off G2A or CDKeys.

I’m never paying $80 for a video game.

Mannequins scare the heck out of me.

I blame it on Herbie Hancock’s music video for the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHhD4PD75zY. (Still one of the most unintentionally horrifying things I’ve ever seen.)

Also, if you like mannequin horror, the game The Devil In Me is a must-play.

Demons Souls is so damn good.

The Tower of Latria is still one of my favorite dungeons ever made.

Nintendo’s single-minded determination to enshittify makes me want to wait to get the next Switch, TBH.

I know it won’t matter, as their core fan base will happily endure the bullshit changes they’re considering for another Zelda or Mario Kart, but it would be nice if enough people decide not to buy that it actually persuades the company to be a little more reasonable.

It’s a nice thought, at least.

For the last 10 years I’ve only paid full price for one AAA game: Elden Ring. I’ve gotten something like 200 hours out of it. It may be the best value for a AAA game ever, in my book. (And I haven’t yet played the expansion.)

I’m happy to wait for sales on everything else, including the secondary market for Nintendo games, but after their recent fuckery in multiple arenas, I’m not keen buying anything they produce. (Not that it matters. Their stuff will sell regardless.)

Jedi Fallen Order has no fast travel and the map sucks, do you often end up lost or backtracking.

Divinity Original Sin is also one that doesn’t guide the player particularly well.

Stoked to try this game, but I’m waiting a few months for a patch to the graphics issues.

I wish we could have gotten R6:Patriots.

How many of you got ripped off by the redhead, though?

It’s wild how good the cheap games are these days. I’m 30 hours into playing Noita, have hundreds of hours in Vampire Survivor.

And I got about 15 hours into Dragon Age: Veilguard before it occurred to me I could crack open the Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition and actually have an enjoyable experience.

I would suggest trying Caveblazers, as it’s similar, but it’s more barebones and (I think) significantly harder.

FlashMobOfOne, 3 miesiące temu

This pleases me.

I gave it 10 hours and had to just conclude that, nope, this wasn’t for me. Instead, go get the Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition for 5 bucks with all the DLC’s. That game is a work of art and has one of the best expansions ever made.

It’s not that it’s bad.

It just doesn’t feel like Dragon Age. It’s like Dragon Age if Disney made a DA game.

FlashMobOfOne, 5 miesięcy temu

It was so, so bad.

I’ve had some fun Anti-Nazi movies playing while I work-from-home lately, like Inglourious Basterds and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

That’s literally the only reason I have Epic on my PC.

Free games every week.

I have a reminder to check it on my Proton calendar every week, haha.

It could happen, but if it does, it’ll be decades down the line. Gaben has surrounded himself with true believers on purpose, in part to prevent that scenario.

There are always extra steps with piracy.

But it’s worth it.

Neverwinter Nights, probably 10k plus hours over the last 22 years, and Dead by Daylight (1666 hours).

Great games, both. I DM a weekly campaign on Neverwinter Nights.

The ones I’ve played of late are:

Disney Dreamlight Valley

Dungeons of the Endless (Casual, but a tad addictive)

Dungeon Defenders

Trying to fill a 24-hour news cycle requires a lot of bullshit, and Fox, NBC, CNN, CBS, and your favorite news outlet are happy to shovel it.

Stop watching partisan, billionaire-owned news outlets and start consuming international news and non-partisan sites. (Like the AP and Al Jazeera)

Also, watch moderate people on the other side of the political divide. It may annoy you in some ways (like how I can’t listen to Maher when he gets on the topic of Israel), but you’ll learn more and you’ll have more nuanced views, which will benefit you in ways you can’t fully understand until you’re able to think about things in a different way. I’m a leftist, so for me, it’s been Bill Maher, Chris Williamson, or Jon Stewart. More people need to learn what they don’t know that they don’t know.
