Anyone else have a mind gently caress when goddamn Kristy Wroth was suddenly in your videogame?

games are only fun on drugs or drunk

kind of related but I can only truly excel at competitive games when I take gabapentin. it puts me in a trance where I can play something forever and also not care about pressure or get angry. when i play a competitive game with a clear mind I always want to quit after a good game, like i want to get out while i'm still on top, so i don't play enough and never get that good. it's a stupid mentality.

turning an RTS franchise into a lovely dumb loving RPG game was not a "good" move, and the story was hot loving garbage, but i mean that's not exactly a problem unique to any blizzard game

It's been almost 7 years since we had a proper Elder Scrolls game and this leaves a gigantic hole in my gaming needs.

Even loving Daggerfall to Morrowind took only 6 years

TES VI will be a team based multiplayer combat game with microtransactions and no NPCs.

Ew what the gently caress is this.

I didn't like Life is Strange even when it wasn't some creepy middle aged dude's fantasy of teenage lesbians. Also back then it was called Butterfly Effect.

Well yeah the "mechanics" are just a rewind button with no penalty for any number of wrong tries. Of course it loving sucks. I'm more amazed at anyone thinking the game has an even half-way decent story. It loving sucks. The only good part was getting to euthanize Chloe after breaking reality with a polaroid. That character (and the rest of the student characters) are loving terribly written.

Ever read a CYOA book and used a finger to hold open a branching point while you explore the "go-to" pages so you can go back to the branching point if you reach a bad end or whatever? Congrats, you've designed a game worthy of published by loving Square Enix.

Moon is a Harsh Mistress was a cool premise if you ignore most retarded libertarian screeds. Idk if most decent sci-fi can be adapted into a videogame though as most videogames are garbage Skinner boxes where you just grind forgettable enemies.

Okay okay, this game did have some good comedy moments. Though most of them were unintentional.

I played through one of the famicom ones, I don't remember which one. I remember being vaguely entertained (must have been the case since I made it all the way through apparently), it was only a few years ago but I remember not a single detail about the game. Japanese people like it because it has European castles and dragons and knights and stuff which is exotic to them but totally forgettable to me.

JRPGs are great when you're a kid with unlimited free time and patience and limited money and games, but nowadays they seem like such a slog.

if by "overhauling" you mean "tweaking and loving with endlessly because they don't know how to create an efficient or effective engine"

but really probably most of the time being spent is on art assets and twiddling with AI scripts, which have always been notoriously easy to break in TES games
