I usually try to do some due diligence and check if the game is for me, before playing it, maybe that's why can't really name "the worst" video game. From what I read about Postal, I'd most likely come to the same conclusion as @JustKneller if I tried it. Maybe that is why I would also think...

Thanks for sharing, this is very insightful and helpful. I haven't played D4, but from what I'm reading it's very similar to an actively patched live-service game where every couple of months the meta changes, and even some basic approaches to creating builds change. It's positive to hear that...

A very insightful read about why Final Fantasy recent sales didn't meet expectations. "[Former Square Enix executive] Jacob Navok noted that if a game costs $100 million to make over five years, it has to beat what the company could have returned investing a similar amount in the stock market...

I think a game like that works awesome as a no-reload. I tried playing Skyrim that way, lot's of fun (and honesty, quite challenging, ugh, that fall damage). Especially if you add the Survival mode/mod on top. F3 doesn't have that so it's up to you. Also, welcome back! That's great you keep...

Hey, welcome, @Dhomps! Where have you learned about this forum, if it's not a secret?

A crazily huge interview with Swen Vincke and Adam Smith about pre-BG3 Larian, BG3, and their current iterations of the next game(s). https://www.gamepressure.com/editorials/we-started-from-zero-and-we-could-go-back-to-zero-interview-with/zf6fc

Well, this doesn't mean anything good for people like me--who like strategy thinking, planning, and resource management. https://www.ign.com/articles/gamers-are-becoming-less-interested-in-games-with-deep-strategy-study-finds "Across its 1.7 million surveys, Quantic Foundry found that two...

Uh-oh. "The PlayStation company is rolling out a big campaign about the future of technology and video games, and part of that was interviewing Druckmann about his thoughts on the future of video game storytelling. Disappointingly enough, Druckmann spends chunks of the interview hyping up AI...

I like both of them, I think Tarja's voice was unique in its own way. Here is a video for you, Marko + Tarja, just like old times!

I haven't done that. E.g. I enjoyed The Killers, even though I knew their vocalist had problems singing the songs. I enjoyed the studio recordings of the songs. https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/killers-frontman-brandon-flowers-took-voice-lessons-for-new-album-1.976319 I'd say a...

I didn't know that term existed in English. I can recall the early 00s or even 90s in my country in Eastern Europe, and it's always been the case that some music, musicians, or even music fans, are "true" or "not true", e.g. a true Metal fan should be X, Y and Z. I never agreed with that...

One month later, I'm still very much into ESO. Tried and liked Battlegrounds - it's a small arena-based mode for PvP, very engaging, quick, and fun. My PvP character reached the 17th rank (from 50 available), even 2 months ago I thought I would never get the 11th. I completed the veteran...

Nightwish released a new song (and a video for it) from their upcoming album: Yay for science!

Dragon Age: Inquisition is free on the EGS this week. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/dragon-age-inquisition-game-of-the-year-edition-2f0cbd We had some discussion about the game here, especially about its controls. @Cahir completed the game not long ago, picking the easiest setting (IIRC)...

Seems like they're following Dragon Age games for real. RtwP is now in, reminding me of Origins a lot.

Well well well. Luke Scull (also known as Alazander) dropped a bombshell today! Ossian Studios are going to develop a single-player turn-based RPG in the Pathfinder setting. Quite big shoes to fill (after Owlcat and their Pathfinder games, and also after Larian and BG3). Check out their...

I am... actually excited for the next game. They managed to capture the tone I wanted for such a game. And look at those costumes and armor! Looking forward to future gameplay reveals. And seems like the black character will suit right in, he looks (and sounds) badass in the cinematics. Both...

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/867210/view/4181106571620297357 I've been impressed by Songs of Conquest as a homage to HoMM games, and this message explains just how much the game evolved over its Early Access. I think randomized maps and the modding community can keep the game alive...
