    I really dislike how bloated maps become. They're now so huge that it takes way too long to get between points of interest and most of the space is pointless, boring filler like worthless collectibles or nothing at all except mountains and vegetation. If your game has a playable map that's bigger than, say, GTA V then you're doing something wrong. Even GTA V could easily squish its worldspace into half of what it was without any real loss, and it had more content in all that space than most...

    So I'm actually enjoying Doom Eternal less than the 2016 version. The obnoxious UI, the tiny amount of ammo requiring you to chainsaw all the time so enemies turn into colorful loot pinatas, the utterly worthless melee that needs 10 hits to kill imps, glory kills being all but mandatory, some enemies that must be killed in certain ways or you waste tons of ammo like cacos, the weird item placement (D16 had weapons next to a soldier's corpse, D20 has them randomly floating in a train car),...

    Shops are closing in 2(?) days in Germany due to Coronavirus which somehow translated to Doom being released early...? Plenty of streams on Twitch and YT in any case. Lots of stuff I like but there's some weird elements, too (weapons sound toy-like, there's those flaming chains moving in circles that are straight out of Mario, more platforming than I expected). Levels seem to be bigger than 2016, which is pretty sweet. It looks great and runs buttery smooth on PS4, which means the...

    [ATTACH] While Warcraft 3: Reforged seemed like a low effort cash grab from the beginning, Blizzard quality strikes again and the entire debacle is perhaps the most egregious example of publisher's greed and customer hostility in... I wouldn't say the entire history of video games, but it's easily topping EA's usual fuckery imo. Out of what was promised, little was delivered. Even the graphical upgrade is middling at best: it looks like a half-assed mobile game, many textures genuinely...

    Just finished Pathologic 2. It's been... an experience. Weird, weird stuff. Loved most of it. I hope the other two characters will eventually be released as well.

    As often as I've heard good things about DOS2 the combat looks so incredibly slow that I'm certain I couldn't handle it (even on lone wolf, full party is just lol). No joke, it should have an option to be about 3x of its current speed. Got to the kingdom management stage in Kingmaker and the further I go the less interest I have in the game. There isn't much pulling me into the world and I literally couldn't care less about ruling over some dirty peasants, especially since it seems that I...

    I am determined to find even a single decent RPG as of late and finally picked up Kingmaker. My initial opinion is that it's decent, but incredibly flawed. The entire character building is deep, but may god have mercy on your soul if you never played DnD/Pathfinder - I haven't the slightest idea what I'm doing, what's good and what's not and it is impossible to respec (not that I'd have more of an idea at lv10 rather than at lv3, but still). Combat is dice-based, which I at best tolerate...

    Greedfall sucks. There, I said it. It has good elements, but overall it just sucks. I fully believe they could do a good game if they were given 10x the budget, but as it is an 'open world' RPG just doesn't seem anywhere near their abilities to deliver. The RPG elements are decent, but even the story is... not quite up to stuff (god, the companions). That they ask 50$ for this game is a joke.

    ... huh. So that's a thing. On another note, if you've enjoyed Hotline Miami, a similar-ish game was released some time ago: Katana Zero. You're a junkie edgelord wearing a bathrobe that commits a small scale genocide with a katana... and it's glorious. Watch it in all its glory: [MEDIA] The bad news is that it's really short (~5h?), and feels like the game is only half-finished 'story' wise. I'm all but certain that more stuff will be released in the future, be it in dlc or free updates...

    I don’t remember that well myself tbh - there’s 3 of them but only one nail art is really vital imo. Difficult to say which areas you’re familiar with and which you have yet to explore - it’s entirely possible to miss a whole chunk of the game (I never visited the hive for example). Light apoilers ahead, obv: One is somewhere in the western area with all the thorns, I think you need one of the movement upgrades to reach him One is somewhere in the area where the ash falls (Kingdom’s Edge or...

    Thanks for the rec but the problem cannot be fixed by any single mod - I just don’t find Skyrim’s combat good, and it took over 40 combat and AI related mods in Oldrim to make it reasonably good in the first place. For now I just murder things at range and if enemies close too quickly I either sprint away, waste a third of my mana on short-range teleport or die. Mages are absolute murder though with all spells travelling twice as fast and killing me in 2-3 hits lol. Any deep overhauls are...

    Enderal looks pretty good, yeah - it’s what unmodded Skyrim could’ve been if Bethesda could do anything besides worldmap well. The first 'city' alone has more character than half of Oldrim IMO, and the quests I've explored so far are solid. The story itself is supposed to have a lot more 'mature' feel than the usual cookie-cutter RPGs and I'm curious what they came up with. So far I enjoyed the hell out of dialogues and just immersing myself in the world; haven't done much of the main story...

    It's excellent, IMO. The art, music and gameplay are all great. I'd easily give it 8/10 and I'm mostly ambivalent about most platformers. The only complaint I have is that it begins somewhat slow (should start with dash IMO) and that some bosses/areas aren't as good as they could be - but those are just minor complains in the face of an incredible product. The fact that it was 15$ on release is absurd; I'd easily pay twice that and still feel good about the buy.

    Attempting to play CK2 was when I finally realized that "EU4 isn't difficult to get into, sure there's a lot of text to read and even more buttons to click but it all makes sense quickly enough, really!" is complete bullshit. No wonder Paradox games releases a ton of DLC for all their games - if not for semi-regular cash infusions from existing fans that already know the system their studio wouldn't last a year, because getting to a state of even semi-competency takes forever. As a EU4...

    After browsing Steam for some RTS of sufficient complexity that is not set in Middle Ages or earlier: that genre is fucking dead. It looks like there are a grand total of three games that fit my requirements, only all three are worse than what was available a decade ago. OTOH a friend recommended a fun base-builder Oxygen Not Included, which is somewhat similar to Rimworld or DF only the threat comes from lack of vital resources rather than enemies (AFAIK - I've only played ~8h or so). It's...

    Had the dubious pleasure of 'enjoying' some time with Far Cry 5 lately. It's kinda impressive just how uninspired this game is. The ridiculous setting, the abysmal AI, your usual Ubisoft greed like single player microtransactions, plenty of features removed (thus game actually being more shallow than 3 and 4), the 'storyline', no sense of any meaningful progression, even weapons not feeling fun to use in an FPS game (!)... it's pretty bad. Regret even getting it, TBH. It's an absolute slog...

    Think I might be done with gaming soon in my life. Got a nice PC to dabble in machine learning for funsies and there's very few games that interest me in the least that were released in the last few years. I've had a lot of fun with Doom but it's not that long, spent a lot of time on Witcher 3, played some EU4 but I get addicted to it and play day in day out so I deleted it after about a week, played very heavily modded Skyrim for at least 100 hours (Wheels of Lull is the tits), quit Fallout...
