well that was an anti-climactic end to the super metroid race at agdq

one of the runners about 25 minutes in got one-shotted by a boss due to a fluke thing that can happen that causes 8x damage. due to how super metroid speedrunning works he hasn't saved so he'd have to start over from the beginning. :rip:

so now the last hour is just the other guy running a victory lap, pretty much
This is why all super metroid races should be 4 way races

i tried playing baldur's gate on the ipad and it's really bad

if a badguy casts an aoe spell it slows down to a crawl and the party ai scripts don't work and the ai toggle doesn't work so you can't turn the bad ai off

it's just unplayable
Didn't Beamdog do that one? You could ask Kirk why it's so bad.

finally got a couple hours into Transistor and past the 2nd boss and the combat system is feeling hella clunky with the focus on the stop mode

shoulda kept it all realtime like Bastion

i liked the combat, especially once you get more abilities.
that said, i only *really* started to like it the very last part of the game once you're fully loaded out,
and can customize your playstyle more

it's kind of crazy that they've said ports of torment or iwd2 are pretty much impossible but can make a new campaign for the weird ad&d ruleset/engine instead

cps+s: prototype 2 is one of the better free + titles in a while. it is about as good as infamous2 so far and scales against the first game in the same way

adapting a legacy tabletop system to a crpg is pretty much always going to wind up that way. torment was interesting but mechanically was a hot mess. 3rd edition might just be the least awful system but 4th really could be decent, it's just no one's tried it

shadowrun returns is the closest we've seen to a d&d 4th crpg but the best parts of dragonfall dc aren't the combat mechanics

We got a lot of questions about Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition and a potential Baldur’s Gate III on our reddit AMA. We’d be lying if we said we never think about doing a Baldur’s Gate III game, so we won’t say that. But we will say there’s nothing in the works yet regarding BGIII or a 5th edition game. That doesn’t mean the opportunity will never arise, though, so we’re preparing by starting a tabletop 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons game here in the office.

i don't dislike the combat but it wasn't enough to redeem the core campaign. dragonfall DLC owns for a combo of its writing, encounter design and characters, and is well served by the combat. not amazing but works well

seriously tho spell cool downs, combat companions and per-mission-use abilities would be the bread and butter of a d&d4th system crpg

haven't really seen anything of 5th besides the adventure zone podcast but its main ideas (advantage/disadvantage, inspiration) don't seem like they'd bring much to a crpg

There isn't a single AD&D crpg that followed the rules exactly anyway.

fair, even in the baldur's gate games there was aggravation from how close they managed to be. can't really remember how much it departed from the core rules, never played 2nd ed forgotten realms. i guess hunger/sleeping weren't followed

i guess i'd be content with more stuff in the divinity:os engine
