I think it is okay for people to enjoy the god of war reboot, however I ask that you never elaborate on why because that's when the cringe comes out

tlou though, if you're an open fan of that you're a lost cause

They should make a game based on the Californication music video. There is already a small fan game, but what the concept really needs is that AAA touch. Having a big budget would allow them to hire David Duchovny for a crossover easter egg with his character from the show.

I meant Path of Exile. I actually bought Pillars shortly after it came out and I hate to say this, I didn't like it. I thought it was sort of boring, the only character I remember the name of is Eder - he at least had some personality. I've been looking for something to scratch that Baldur's Gate nostalgia itch for about 20 years now. Nothing has. The closest thing has been Pathfinder, WotR.

Pillars 1 is overall pretty boring until you hit the midpoint and it stops having to constantly explain it's and its unique game world with all it's brand new lore and made up words.

Skipping to 2 is fine, the game explains everything pretty clearly and the whole point of 2 is to be a sea-roaming adventure and gently caress around on all the islands you can find. It overhauled and vastly improved the combat system as well, and is probably the best in class RTwP combat system there is.

It's a pity it didn't sell real well and we probably won't get a 3.

2 also has optional turn-based combat for the sickos (me)

Was that any good? Was thinking of replaying it once they added it, since I found the real-time combat portion a little iffy (although a vast improvement over the first game).

The implementation is neat from a design perspective because it radically changes what The Good Stats are, and the game's combat is still good in turn based obviously. The biggest issue with it is that Pillars 2 is a game made for RTwP and so has a shitload of trash fights, which means if you play turn based the game takes like 300 hours.

The kingmaker/Wrath button press toggle is probably the single best bit of qol in isometric RPGs ever made and I wish something like it existed for the Pillars games tbh

You can beat Pillars 2 with like at most 12 fight encounters depending on your playstyle.

It has way less trash fights then any comparable crpg

Maybe that RPG they're working on in the Pillars world will do gangbusters and we'll get another CRPG. Fingers crossed!

unless you are sneaking past literally everything in the first half of the game I do not think this is quite accurate

The later areas do have a steep decline in trash fights though

good story and game play, which is using cool weapons and skills to do crazy combos. Higher combo = more xp. Also platforming.

I've heard 3 hopes is good at least, might check that out since a musou sounds fun rn too

Engage feels much trickier in many battles, you can put up with Colgatehead for that
