    What game are you currently playing?

    One hour later, after more experience with the mechanics, the same Part 1--time spent at 16x Fury tripled to 21%. Kills on beat went from 65 to 92. This is basically the core of the game: as you get better at shooting to the rhythm, all your results improve, gradually increasing the time...

    What game are you currently playing?

    I downloaded and launched Metal: Hellsinger. It's fun to play a game at its release once in a while. Played through Part 1, still learning. Time spent at 16x Fury was only 7%. 😜 Here is how it plays for those wondering: My (a bit embarrassing) stats from Part 1: Now, to master that score...

    Games you're looking forward to

    There is another series that hasn't been mentioned much on this site, yet. Yakuza, which now apparently will be called Like a Dragon. I played Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon and fell in love with it: the main character, Ichiban, his friends, serious and funny (even absurd) topics, turn-based fights...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    I played through the ME trilogy only once with a FemShep. She romanced Liara in ME1, Garrus in ME2, and when everyone met again in ME3, I thought that a lot had changed during the ME2 events, both for Liara and the main character. Thus, she stayed with Garrus, and Liara became her best friend. I...

    https://screenrant.com/stray-gods-bioware-dlc-pitch-dragon-age/ "Yeah, I brought it up back in the BioWare days, kind of half as a joke. "We should do a musical DLC." The more I talked about it at BioWare, the more the cinematic people and VO people were like, "Yeah, how would we do that?" And...

    Industry News / Upcoming Games

    I meant in the context of Ubisoft previously using loot boxes & microtransactions heavily. If their game is about to get the AO rating, then it means they've brought that to the next level. 2018: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-loot-crates-have-been-a-huge-boon-for-the-gaming-industry...

    And here is quite surprising news, unexpected even from Ubisoft: https://www.thegamer.com/assassins-creed-mirage-ao-adults-only-rating-esrb-gambling/ "For those unaware, there are only 33 games that have been given an AO rating between 1993 and 2018, including the likes of Manhunt, Outlast 2...

    What I've watched is what I think is the worst showcase of 2022, sorry, Ubisoft, but still, for Assassin's Creed fans, it had a lot of stuff to get through. https://www.gamesradar.com/everything-announced-ubisoft-forward-2022-assassins-creed-showcase/ My personal highlight of the show...

    What's the last game you've finished?

    I'll start. Just 17 hours in-game, but so much fun & totally unique experience of playing as a teenager helping your little brother. A Plague Tale: Innocence certainly gets Recommended from me. I haven't seen many similar games, it reminded me of novels I read when I was ~13 years old. An...

    What's the last game you've finished?

    I've had an idea for a simple thread. If you finish a game, you name it and post a screenshot(s) with a small opinion about the game. Just a quick place to share about your latest gaming experience.

    The Core of Diablo

    Mara completed Act 1 Nightmare. She created a new runeword (enabled in D2R) Pattern for her katar (that's a very nice & simple runeword for this stage of the game, made killing faster), and also has Blade of Ali Baba and Rhyme shield as a secondary weapon set for last seconds of bosses (with...

    Storytelling in RPGs - what makes a "good" story.

    It's only when you hear or read from someone skilled in language that you realise language is a skill. A very insightful, and beautifully written, post, @Black Elk! It reminded me of my recent experience with Skyrim, during which I got to know the deep level of modding that is available for that...

    Storytelling in RPGs - what makes a "good" story.

    Thought this piece by Eurogamer's Reviews Editor Chris Tapsell would be fitting for this thread-- personally, I've already decided to play Pentiment thanks to the review by @Urdnot_Wrex, but maybe others in this thread will give it a try as well (out 15th November on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series...

    There will be a few interesting streams next week: September 6, Cyberpunk 2077: the anime series showcase + patch news September 8, Yakuza 8: a sneak-peek (btw, I LOVED Yakuza 7, so I'm really looking forward to this one)...

    Sea Dogs games General Discussion, Playthroughs and Minimal/No Reload Thread

    There are about 20 islands in the archipelago, and some of them have several towns on the same island. Certain quests get started by certain NPCs on those islands, but it's randomized whenever you start a new game. So for 2 "bigger" quests, I needed to check every town's merchant and banker to...

    Sea Dogs games General Discussion, Playthroughs and Minimal/No Reload Thread

    Yeah, the approach where you have to type the answer is very old-school. I remember 10 years ago I knew all answers by memory as everything about seas was my hobby and I tried to learn all those ship parts etc. Now, I nearly forgot all of them and have to search online usually. ;) When Mary was...

    General (c)RPG Permadeath/Ironman Thread

    A great idea about this thread. I hope at one point it'll be THE place online to report about your Ironman run and for others to discuss these reports. I think the list of other cRPG games which do not have the Ironman achievement but essentially allow you to play that way can include Dragon...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Once a grenade has finished its trajectory, it appears that it becomes a static object ("science" I guess ;) ). The game should normally provide covers that are close to each other- try a simple roll to your left or right (and IIRC, your shields or health bar drop won't drop when you're rolling).
