Eurogamer has given Rogue Trader 4/5, the same score they had given BG3 in the past. https://www.eurogamer.net/warahmmer-50k-rogue-trader-review

Sounds like we're back to 2016 and there is - again - a controversy about depicting women in videogames. All thanks to this trailer of Stellar Blade...

Good news finally arrived regarding Subnautica 2. https://kotaku.com/is-subnautica-2-live-service-krafton-release-date-1851240327

I'd say that playing Kingdome Come: Deliverance should interest you, and every Middle Ages fan/scholar tbh. https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3578837.3578846 https://journals.muni.cz/cphpjournal/article/view/15137/12066

Here is my character soloing an ice dragon in the Archive. The second screenshot shows my character prone, but she's about to get up as the dragon's HPs come close to 0. This is Arc 2 of the Archive, so definitely wasn't an easy fight, yet possible to beat solo with a companion.

One minor fact might be that & looks a bit awful in URLs and similar places. It will turn into &amp. So essentially the URL for D&D will read like D&ampD which is a bit awkward. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9084237/what-is-amp-used-for

Well, I guess some people liked it. The game has a ~70% rating on Steam, so more players enjoyed it than not. We have our own thread: https://tavernrpg.com/threads/starfield.390/ with some insightful opinions by @Cahir

Daeran has been my favorite character in WotR, both personality and party input-wise. His excellent healing and buffing abilities are priceless.

There has been a lot of chatter about Palworld, but I haven't played that game, or a Pokemon game, so I can't really compare. However, this is bigger news now: While this all started with a report, and datamined confirmation, that Hi-Fi Rush was coming to PlayStation and Switch, it has now...

Sure, it was (imho) terribly handled. https://gamerant.com/bioware-mass-effect-3-ending/#:~:text=The%20author%20claims%20that%20Mass,to%20say%20on%20the%20matter. Read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_Effect_3_ending_controversy

Thanks for sharing that. Yeah, waking up to the news about Tencent... But tbh, Tencent has shares in Larian, and I think we all kinda benefited from that extra financial support Larian got for BG3.

Finally. I watched Season 1 of Severance not long ago and enjoyed it. Reminded me of one of my favorite movies, Brazil (1985) by Terry Gilliam. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/01/29/at-long-last-a-severance-season-2-update-from-apple-tv-plus/?sh=571bded943e4

Welp, here goes. https://kotaku.com/avowed-rpg-obsidian-companion-relationships-1851205378 What they don't say here is that the game started as a Multiplayer game, so probably there was no companion system at all, so of course the relationship with them wasn't planned as well.

Started Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth yesterday. Looking forward to seeing how the game improves on the previous title, Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I enjoyed that game a lot. About 10 hours in, really feeling as if I'm playing an anime/kdrama but with my input, and with serious tones mixed with...

I'm becoming a bit like @Black Elk but in ESO, in the sense that I create new characters (aka "alts") to try out new builds. After liking the PvP content, I figured why not give it a go and create a character that won't die in every encounter in PvP. I went with a Templar character (the class I...

It actually does, and quite well. The reason is that the original M&M setting always involved technology. The new Factory town is well-made, and feels at home, even while it was impossible to imagine just 1 month ago. Community developers of the Factory faction used a lot of materials provided...

Absolutely agree. This can be explained by the fact the game was first designed as a multiplayer experience, so most likely NPC systems weren't present in the original design document for Avowed. https://www.ign.com/articles/avowed-was-originally-going-to-be-a-multiplayer-game As you can...

Thanks for sharing those insights, @Black Elk. I agree FOV seems to be pretty low, but maybe because it's an Xbox (thus console) version, and on PC you'll be able to increase it substantially? Too bad to hear about motion sickness, it's so unfortunate some people get it, and it prevents them...

Avowed's combat looks slow, sluggish, and uninspiring. If you look at their trailer from 1 year ago (which got criticized a lot), you'd see even slower combat. The Combat Director in the video says it's "not just hack & slash", so it's intentional. They decided to include dual-wielding wands as...

What do you folks think of the games showcased yesterday at Developer_Direct by Xbox? Avowed, Hellblade 2, Visions of Mana, Ara, and Indiana Jones.
