On the plus side, the co-founder said recently that they're hoping that with Cyberpunk, the reveal of the release date and actual release will be close together. Mymla posted:Honestly, I kinda want to play witcher 3, but I really don't want to play as Gerald from the River. There's not much that can be done if you simply dislike how Geralt looks but as a person, Geralt is really really well written even considering how you can essentially dictate his attitude and you don't have to partake in the wanton sexing if you don't want to.

poisonpill posted:I hear this a lot but it really worked well the way it played out. Instead of the game designers needing to plan six wildly different characters (man/woman) (professional/goofy) (gay/straight) and so you end up getting a ton of choices that don't mean anything and dialogue that doesn't change anything so they can accommodate a range of characters. This. Sometimes there is a lot to juggle at once to accommodate the player, while instead you could focus on a sort-of tabula rasa character that has background but you can build from it with a lot of leeway (see: the nameless one from torment). I think the Ryder siblings were an attempt to that direction with the removal of paragon/renegade, but it seems so far that it lacked more characterization work to fully accomplish that? I dunno

Has anyone tried messing around with cheat engine to level up, add resources/credits yet? I'm half tempted to try to see how deep the crafting system goes but I dunno if it's worth potentially corrupting the trial.MinibarMatchman posted:how do the characters of ME:A stack up to the ones in ME:2, I liked just about everyone in that game but know nothing about Vectra and Krogan #3 and PB+J No one really stands out yet. You get a vague idea of their basic personality when you meet them but there are no Jacks or Zaeeds. Everyone just seems like a regular person. Which sounds good on paper but in this kind of game I want some over the top characters. I guess Peebee stands out but just as a generic quirky character.

witcher 2 is real good, but it made a huge mistake forcing the player into a pretty hard combat scenario right at the start with a combat system that takes a while to get used to. you could also do the flashbacks out of order, which was dumb because it was both confusing and severely affected the game's time-to-titties factor

And I had no idea why anything was happening. Good stuff. Took me three false starts to get in to the game, but once I got it, it was v good.

One downside of that is that you are expected to be familiar with and already invested in Geralt's story to some degree.

Zzulu posted:Witcher 1 is dogshit Witcher 3 is good if you want to "play" a long novel, if the story isn't to your liking I can't imagine playing it for the combat or even the exploration. Horizon is a much better "open world action RPG" than TW3.

MinibarMatchman posted:how do the characters of ME:A stack up to the ones in ME:2, I liked just about everyone in that game but know nothing about Vectra and Krogan #3 and PB+J The thing about all 3 of those characters is that they're only in the trial for about a minute, though as a character intro I suppose it's all right. Drak arrives by throwing a kett dog monster though a window to what has been accurately described as Star Wars bad guy music, then bums off once you start to bore him. Vetra gushes about the Tempest a bit and smooth talks her way out of having to go meet the tired face lady again, so that automatically endears her to me. She then just kinda sat in the ship for rest of the demo Peebee tackles you for no particular reason and wants you to mess with some remnant junk because that is a thing you are uniquely suited for, and that's all I got out of her before the trial ends.

Horizon and W3 both have awesome protagonists and the games' stories are stronger because of that. Also W3 has the finest punnery in gaming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEd0yxi89fE

precision posted:Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning I played this recently and not even close. You have a few quest here and there where you have an NPC tag along and chat with you but that's not uncommon in an RPG. There's nothing like the party interactivity that there is in a Bioware game where they attempt to emulate having other real people join you on your adventures.There are some turn based isometrics but I'd say they're still a different category to a Bioware game.

A lot of folks like to talk poo poo on Bioware and Bethesda games and talk up other games that don't do remotely the same things at the same production values. There was this weird Mass Effect rip-off that was based on Greek Mythology called Rise of the Argonauts, it was real bad.

No matter how bad some of these animations and faces are, I think Fallout 4 takes the cake for outright ugliness and jank, and that had GOTY nominations. It didn't win a single one mind you but it was well-received

PerilPastry posted:Are the side quests fun at least? I didn't really enjoy Dragon Age: Inquisition too much but what made me drop it was all the bland MMO style fetch quests There were only a few side quests available in the demo but they were better than DA:I. Not anything amazing but they were okay. They were probably most similar to side quests from the original trilogy. SgtSteel91 posted:Is default Sara worse than using a CC one?

The thing is that making games in the same genre as Bioware and Bethesda is hard and expensive. And they kinda cornered the market on them a long time ago apparently because no one wants to make games that try to compete with them. I do wish other studios would give it a shot, because I want to see what others could do in the same design space.
