Alabama update.

I remember loving the first one on my PSP way back.

I never got to play the original, but I remember it had more character in its trailers.

Did you ever play the first Divinity?

That seems weirder to me to be honest. Like the recent The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria. Just call if Return to Moria and make a LotR badge for marketings sake. Same here.

I’ll accept Middle-Earth though.

I know little about it. What makes this stand out? I am guessing kernal level, but is there anything else to it?

This is neat. I would have loved to have played some of these alongside what I did on the 360. Feels similar. Marble Blast Ultra, Geometry Wars, etc. I had no idea either.

This looks fun. Thanks for the share.

I like the idea, but the execution looks cheap. I’m more open to middle earth games without fighting than with though so I won’t lament the IP yet. It often feels hamfisted to force it into the slashy-casty box.

You can grind for great rewards but they also are encouraging easy endeavors for a lot of points and any content is giving the 100% XP bonus which makes even questing feel nicer. There is a grind if you want true flame or one of the other 4 this-time-only items but that’s some people’s enjoyment.

The only ball dropping imo is the PTS debacle but they are giving the affected all the items, like a years endeavors, and a ton of other stuff that seems fair to me.

I think it can be hard for someone if they always feel the need to maximize anything they do, they probably just grind the whole time to earn millions of gold. I did a few grinds to get the loot high but doing dailies I had not tried yet has been fun since I get the 100%xp and an extra loot box for each.

Obviously just my experience though.

If they are working on 5 sequels, two are Homeworld and Borderlands, that means there is a non-zero chance for Duke Nukem.

ESO Financials were part of the Microsoft leak. They do pretty dang well. Downward trend but what ten year old game constantly only sees number go up.

Nobody is winning here long-term. Microsoft is growing its subscription service and every step is with that in mind. Getting people to buy their games now, like Starfield, is likely seen as closing the gap a little more towards encouraging that.

Like all of these things, it will be great and a value at first and then a squeeze for more money with less offerings. People en masse will say they won’t be a part of it, and then record profits (like Netflix right now) will be shown.

Not all is doom and gloom though. Indie games are rapid fire releasing, Linux is growing due to Valve and Chromebooks, and I found a ten dollar bill in my pocket this morning.

I’m mostly frustrated with always online games. They remain the enemy for longevity and nonsense outside of the MMO space.

Is it still a smaller studio? I recall he shut things down and took a small amount of talent with him, but that’s when the studio was first made. He said he wanted smaller. The vibe was that he disliked the size of Infinite’s team and scope.

I’m not sure I would call it a rebranding. I believe Bioshock lives on without him still as it’s own thing.

I wonder what they could do to breath new fire into it (har). It is a fun trilogy to play, for sure, but it also feels like playing a game of its time.

I really miss games like this though. The last time I felt the bridge between games like Spyro and “modern” times (I’m old) was Kameo. Kameo was such a gem and felt like I was playing a newer Spyro, Medievil, or Banjo game.

While we’re on the subject, where the heck is Conker?

Sadly I haven’t! I have a Vive but it isn’t on there. You got me watching a video and it looks like a lot of fun to!

Except for the Switch, I haven’t owned a console since the 360. I kind of went hard into PC by accident.

Being 6, I would just go with the game system they like. You and I know PC/SteamDeck are killer but youngins always fixate on what they like. Besides, I have a feeling a switch would be cheaper. Not so sure about a switch 2 being cheaper though.

Your kids lucky your thinking it out. 😎👍

I think they rebuilt the game in Unity. I do know they say to not go with the one on GoG as it is outdated. I only learned about the whole thing yesterday.

Looks fun. If I can give any advice, I would avoid comparisons to other games as that also invites unnecessary criticism.

Also less metal and drums, and more sound effects (like with the kick at the end).

Fleshed out, I would give it a go. There are some public domain creatures you could absorb, like anything Lovecraft.

Do you know if the DLC is needed to find matches? Do people even use them? Or is it all cosmetic? I too am thinking to come aboard.

I have found that some games like this, sometimes I do really well if only because there is such an established way to do things well that my flailing about catches people off guard. Sometimes not following meta is a shock to expectations. I’ll win by sheer incompetence.

I nominate No Man’s Sky for Game of the Year.

Does it take a lot of time to experience the story in a satisfying way? I only played a little of the intro years ago and recall like the game but not the combat. I’m really tempted to revisit for its setting though just to go through it, but not if it moves at a crawl.
