Oh man, just made my own comment on black and white, and I assumed I was the only one. Black & White 2 is still the best God game out there for me and it was so much fun.

A bit of an obscurer one, but I would love another Black & White, based on Black & White 2. It’s a god game where you control a giant bipedal creature, control a city (or several) and battle against other gods through architecture and combat. You can train your creature to do things you prefer and expand your influence however you like.

It had a good/evil morality system, is completely winnable by being a pacifist, and has a really cute style of humor.

No other God game has quite scratched that itch and it’s still fun to this day almost 20 years later.

It definitely got better, but can still be buggy. You can also pretty much guarantee there will be some bigass bugs when the new DLC comes out, it’s the Owlcat way.

I’d say the actual quality doesn’t take a nosedive anymore, the game is pretty consistently fun from start to finish. The beginning definitely has more going on though.

Vermintide is a lot of fun. The total war Warhammer games are pretty good.

My personal favorite (as an RPG fan) is Rogue Trader (40k) by Owlcat Games. Game is superbly written and the combat and world is pretty fun too. If you hate CRPGs, stay away though. This game really showed me the secret sauce Warhammer 40k has going for it.

I’m excited as hell for space marine 2. We’ll see how that goes.

Anything above basic content in 14 (which is lowest common denominator content) can honestly be quite challenging, and savage and ultimate content is very very difficult content overall. It’s all about how much time and effort you’re willing to invest, the first 70 levels of content is pretty braindead so anyone can beat it.

Curious if elder scrolls online is similar because I honestly don’t know, haven’t played it in a decade.

Counterpoint: I will immediately skip the rock on the first body of water I find, losing it instantly. Stick I will treasure forever.

I took some time off work and powered through it for old times’ sake.

I enjoyed it! It definitely dragged at points, and there were more than few questionable story decisions, but the combat content (especially in the latter half) was much stronger than previous expansions. The high-level dungeons are a lot of fun and will keep many players on their toes.

The new classes are…okay. viper seems overly confusing for what is a relatively easy class, and picto is mostly fine, if not a bit too easy.

Thank you for the link! Always had only a vague understand of NFC communication.

Agreed. Still waiting on a Black and White 2 spiritual sucessor, that game is still unmatched in its weird little genre. It definitely scratches a unique itch.

If you like ARPGs, I remember enjoying Untold Legends a lot as a kid. Was a PSP launch title, and had a very dark themeing. I don’t know if my kid memory can be trusted on the quality but I’ve seen a few other people recommend it on here so I doubt it’s bad.

This is very wholesome. I should really do the same or something similar in my field. It’s hard to recapture the magic when you are exhausted from work all the time.

Honestly since the original artist(s) left, I wasn’t interested in a follow-up anyway. A second disco Elysium without the same art and story direction would have little to no relation to the game that came before.

I only recognized this as Might & magic because I’ve watched too many Sseth videos.

I feel you. I’ve been sitting here with my pathfinder 2e books, hoping desperately to run a Strength of the Thousands game, but since I moved recently I’ve got no one nearby who even knows what DnD is, let alone pathfinder.

I want to do a game in person, since I enjoy it way more than online but at this point I might start looking at a foundry game or something in desperation.

Agreed, this is well written. It seems even more see obvious trump is a symptom because so many other trump-esque politicians are rising up and finding success across the globe in many other countries. Right-wing recessionism is really popular right now, but it’s mostly because the systems themselves seem largely without hope, and broken.

Did you end up playing the unity remake or the original?

I don’t have much experience with either but I know the game decently well, I know there are a lot of mods being spun up for the unity version and I wonder if any of those would clean that issue up for you.

Interested to hear how you felt about it overall since I was considering it myself since the 1.0 unity release. I suspect I will have a very similar experience to you, though.

If you make green bean casserole well, it’s my fave thanksgiving dish. It is a mushy mess but either it’s pretty solid sometimes, or everything else at my childhood Thanksgiving was terrible garbage

I’m really curious…what nicknames other than Rob fit well? Cause my brain just says “Robo” and that’s pretty horrendous, so I’d love to know what you came up with.

Bethesda: feedback accepted. Base carry weight is now 50 to be more realistic.

I’m kinda on your side in this. I’ve tried watching it multiple times and never got into it, I think the imagery is provocative but with the glut of projects it inspired that exist nowadays, I feel like I saw it too late, and it’s lack of common features while also being long makes it kinda a non-starter for me.

Don’t think I’ll ever finish it but I understand why people love it.
