I'm kinda curious about xdefiant but its very funny that its their attempt to cash in on the hero shooter vs overwatch and valorant, and all characters are just boring tom clancyverse guys with guns, meanwhile valorant just released an agent thats a nonbinary scottish ghost that can haunt the match from beyond the grave

the biggest tragedy is that they lost the Tom ip now it's just named xDefiant but it used to be Tom Clancy's xDefiant (tm) previously some of the (teams? factions? classes?) were lifted from other tom clancy games like the division but iirc now they're all OCs?

they are all based loosely on those Tom Clancy games, the names have just been filed off really.

I knew they dropped the branding but I wasn't aware they changed the characters. it used to be like, division rioters and rainbow six agents and unnamed splinter cell man that is not sam fisher

I'm surprised someone hasn't done that already but I guess diablo style games are quite labor intensive and deckbuilders tend to be small indie games because they are so much simpler to make so maybe nobody has thought to put those games styles together? Not that it really has to be diablo level graphics

it seems like a no-brainer to just make an update of Shandalar, an RPG where your battles are MTG duels but i guess we're talking about WOTC here

its biggest issue was that "ARPG" and the presentation style thereof has become synonymous with a game where you work as hard as possible to turn yourself into a riding mower that you can effortlessly drive through a dungeon while listening to a podcast, and having randomized card drops that require you to pay attention above the baseline is anathema to that i'd certainly welcome a multiplayer isometric dungeon crawler that was about smart tactical choices as much as it was builds and items, but that's gotta be something you aim for in design and not just a weird brand-appropriate gimmick you slap onto a diablo 3 clone

Haven’t played it myself, but the recently released Dream Tactics is sort of that kind of fusion of SRPG and deckbuilding.  I heard it’s not bad.

I was the opposite, I enjoyed the social stuff in Midnight Suns way more. It felt like Persona but super heroes. The later story missions turned into absolute bullshit and so I slowly started to hate the combat.

the monastery sucks but you can ignore pretty much all that stuff without repercussion. just hit the training thing and the research desk when you have stuff to do. it should just be a menu like xcom

I said come in! posted:Yeah the fact that she said she didnt want to out of fear of being blacklisted, makes me believe its one of the big studios in Seattle. Oh God, it's actually worse than I thought. I read "interview" as they had requested an interview for a magazine or website article or something, which is terrible enough as it is. But in this case, "interview" means a job interview, and they brought her in on the pretext of maybe getting a job so they could hit on her?

Realtalk, I had patience in my heart for exactly one rpg game having a between-mission hub that requires the player to move an avatar around to access the facilities (fire emblem three houses), now I’m fully menu-pilled. Elden ring’s roundtable hold was really small but even that was pushing its luck

Gaius Marius posted:Majula.... yeah, like, the problem with RPG hubs most of the time is that they're either incredibly boring or so disconnected from the rest of the game that they may as well just be a menu. majula's not only incredibly gorgeous on every level, even in DS2's dumpy-rear end lighting engine, but the whole idea of a bunch of broken people coming together in an old ruin and finding new sources of meaning is perfectly in tune with DS2's themes
