Kind of, but bigger, and in a spaceship rather than a plane, that is travelling in space. But other than those things, yeah this is similar TheDiceMustRoll posted:He's pretty clearly saying he wants a Hogwarts Legacy style game but not set in a transphobic castle I don't really have a horse in that race and I haven't looked up anything about what that game is going to be other than I know it's Harry Potter: open world edition, but I distinctly remember reading somewhere that Rowling wasn't really involved with the game in the slightest? Or is that wrong, simply a case of the devs/publisher trying to distance themselves in order to not lose sales? I could see either being true. Edit: I did enjoy the audiobooks read by Stephen Fry, for what it's worth. Cactus fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Jan 13, 2023 |

Rowling might not be intimately involved but she still makes money from it

i choose to be optimistic about the hogwarts game; like for example, maybe jk rowling will die before the game comes out

Tarezax posted:Rowling might not be intimately involved but she still makes money from it That's a shame, but me not playing the game isn't going to change that. If it reviews well and the reviewers I trust say it's something I'm likely to enjoy playing I'll probably pick it up in a sale and play it to the 40-60% completion mark like I do most open world games, and then move on. If not I won't. I think it's ok to enjoy media or art that is tainted by association with massive shitheads, or that has problematic elements within it, as long as you can acknowledge the caveat that that stuff is there. I wouldn't be able to enjoy any Ubisoft games, any Blizzard games, most 80s movies or vast swathes of otherwise great sci-fi/fantasy books otherwise. If that makes me unprincipled in some peoples eyes, well, ok then. We all have the right to decide where we draw our lines.

How is The Division 2 now that it's on steam? I remember really liking the idea of the first one, but I pretty quickly bounced off it on account of how repetitive it was and how it felt like 75% of my time and my dude's progression was wasted. (Note that I do like good loot treadmills: Diablo II and TQ/GD are totally my jam. But something about Division 1 felt like all box, no skinner.)

I read it in a sarcastic tone of voice, if that's not how you meant it to sound in my head then I apologise. Why can people tag a game that isn't even out yet anyway? For all we know the game might turn out to be transphobic but until it comes out what's the point of being able to put any tag that specific on it?

Looking forward to it in maybe a year or two though.

About to install Outer Wilds. I bought it during the sale because everyone raved about it and I think the genre sounded appealing? But I don't remember a single thing about the game so I don't think I've ever gone into a game as blind as this. I hope it stands up to your hype!

As someone who likes Division 2 but is basically done with it in any significant way it’s basically the same. While there were fairly significant changes in terms of how health/armor works, different skills added, and the open world city part of the game actually has a purpose beyond the first time you run through it you’re still taking cover and shooting things with guns mostly while numbers go up. If you can believe it there’s even less story and character than the first game. You technically have a bit more skinner since there’s a a wider variety of stats but for complicated reasons I’m not going to go into there’s only a handful that are useful.

It looks like The Division 2 doesn't currently work with the steam deck, if anyone cares.

I haven't touch it for ages, but if you're playing through the 'story' you really won't need to touch the Skinner State/Gear Set stuff until Max Level Post Story. Unless the game starts you at Max level now?

I think it's worth playing just to see a really cool recreation of Washington DC, much like NY in the first game Plus the music rules and the graphics are amazing if you have a good rig You can see all the things and move on without any significant need to grind

Outer Wilds small spoiler, should be safe to read: There's a dude in a hammock. Talk to him each time you encounter him to learn something useful.

You owe it to yourself to play until you are smashing your head against the wall in frustration because you can't figure out what to do next, and then look up the solutions. I kind of regret doing it instead of solving everything but the whole story and presentation is so incredible that it was worth it.
