    Games' budgets and costs to create a video game (now also talking about sales)

    Well-well-well, we have a new champion. According to Endymion (a YT blogger), Ubisoft has spent an astonishing $650 to $850 million on Skull and Bones during its more than a decade of development, a figure significantly higher than the previously reported $200 million. Reportedly, the game...

    Dragon Age: The Veilguard

    While EA is reporting huge DA4 pre-orders for their investors, every new detail I see disclosed about the game makes me facepalm. https://gameranx.com/updates/id/510098/article/dragon-age-the-veilguard-sees-strong-preorder-numbers/ That's all fine and dandy, and yet...

    Elder Scrolls Online

    No screenshots this time, but I still play ESO (who could have guessed? ;) ) One of the biggest factors still pulling me in is the fluctuation and variety of its gameplay. I'm having fun participating in the West Weald event right now. This is a new chapter, and the region looks stunning from...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Fully agree that it looks better. Black Elk: Bringing B (Black) back to BG. :cool:

    Ubisoft is not doing great these days. At least, on paper it seems they'll learn from SW: Outlaws and adjust something for their next game, Assassin's Creed: Shadows. https://kotaku.com/assassins-creed-shadows-delay-release-date-star-wars-1851657285 The company as a whole is experiencing...

    Greedfall 2 is getting negative reviews for a few reasons, one of them being the RtwP combat choice

    Noticed this today while browsing the game's Steam reviews (45% from only 73 reviews, yeeesh). The game got into Early Access yesterday. https://www.eurogamer.net/greedfall-2-mystifies-me-its-currently-a-step-backwards-for-the-series So it seems for today's RPG market, you either go action...

    Tales of the Watcher: A Pillars of Eternity I + II No Reload Thread

    Sorry for Off-Topic, but if we don't have a thread, never hesitate to create one. Who knows, there might be other fans of the same game/genre, or just people willing to discuss it.

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    I agree actually. I think a lot of players (not everyone, but a substantial part) felt the same. E.g. @Xzarloxara usually stops there. When I played BG3 (that one time...), I managed to continue into Act 3 by some inertia, but eventually stopped without seeing the very end of the game. Act 3 has...

    Games' budgets and costs to create a video game (now also talking about sales)

    Concord's (yes, that live-service game that was quickly shut down) budget was supposedly $400 mln USD. If true, this is just crazy. A crazy-high development cost, and a crazy-high failure (the game lasted for 12 (!) days).

    Assassin's Creed games

    This looks really promising. The feature of natural season changing is something I've always wanted to see in immersive games.

    Tales of the Watcher: A Pillars of Eternity I + II No Reload Thread

    I finished PoE with minimal reloads in 2019, and I still remember that run. It took me 300+ hours to get used to the game (lol) and finally understand all its mechanics. I would say that for the good half of those 300 hours I couldn't defeat certain enemies (such as dragons) at all (ofc, on...

    What are your favorite non-combat games?

    Honestly, I didn't like Torment: Tides of Numenera, especially its writing. I think it felt forced and the game failed to capture me. Disco Elysium is one of my most fav games ever (you can tell by the avatar, loool). So it's not even a question (for me). As for some reviews of Disco, I don't...

    What are your favorite non-combat games?

    Cocoon (my thoughts here) Portal 1 & (especially) 2 Death Stranding (technically you can do combat there but I tried to minimize that) Disco Elysium, of course
