Tried to get into Pathfinder once. I had never played any live RPGs before and it was a new group forming and we're all meeting for the first time. Long story short: the DM didn't know poo poo about anything and was basically recruiting a captive audience for his lame fantasy novel. Highlights: DM on rolling stats: "roll seven D20s and throw out the lowest number". No further instructions. DM when asked how wizard opposition schools work: No coherent response, didn't seem familiar with term. DM running combat: No grid present. Positioning/distances not accounted for or even acknowledged. Essentially rolling attack in a void. Even with my limited experience consisting solely of Baldur's Gate rules I knew something was very wrong. Did not go back.

Snak posted:I appreciate it. I am a no-exaggeration alcoholic. I 100% use it as a coping mechanism. I've tried not drinking. I made it 6 months pretty recently before I started drinking again because life is just so boring. I don't have any goals or desires and I only continue to be alive because there are people who care about me and they would be upset if I killed myself. "Sobriety" only replaces my addiction with other habits, like videogames, shows, movies, writing, etc that I use in the exact same way. I am an escapist, who got it into his head a long time ago that it's better to ignore reality than deal with it, and I don't need substance abuse to do this, but it makes me the happiest to do it that way. EVE Online is the game for you!

I guess Kickstarter has been pretty sweet for me as a gamer. Once in a while it produces a good game that, while I didn't fund, I just can just buy the old fashion way. So it's not like I lose anything. More often it produces a bad game or fails to produce a game at all and I get to mock and ridicule the people that supported it. Win-win scenario.

precision posted:I hate games that show your completion rate on the menu. Rise of the 2mb Raider says I'm already at 10% and I literally just got to the first real area. If it's makes you feel better those percentage are usually just tied to Really-Not-Representative-At-All metrics like "completed achievements/total achievements". So when you get that slew of "babby's first" achievements after 10 minutes of gameplay it's just a big jump that will quickly slow down (and culminate in you finishing the game while showing 60%).

Lurdiak posted:I just think Naughty Dog's particular mix of story and gameplay has maximum tedium compared to something like a more traditional AAA game or a Telltale/'walking sim' adventure game. It's essentially story-driven games with a lot of long, linear, unengaging gameplay in between the parts the developers actually care about (the story), which is also very linear and lacks agency. It's the worst of both worlds, basically, and I think their writing isn't very good either, and extremely manipulative in a way that'd make latter day Spielberg blush. They cover up their design and writing shortcomings with cutting edge graphics and top of the line voice acting, just like David Cage. I haven't played any Uncharted games but based on The Last of Us I'd agree with this analysis.

Last of Us had pretty good writing for a video game but unfortunately it did not have very good gameplay for a video game. It's for that reason that I think it's not a great game. Not a bad game, mind you. Just "good I guess". It's overrated.

Jay Rust posted:Morrowind kinda got over some of the problems with open-world narratives by having one of the early quest givers say outright, "Go gently caress around for a while, join random guilds, then come back and we'll continue this main quest thing you're on" Yeah Morrowind handled it very well, in a way more games with ample side content should. They don't present the threat as so imminent like it always is in Bioware games or even later Elder Scrolls titles. The Blight isn't rampaging over the countryside with an unstoppable army. There aren't gates to Oblivion opening up everywhere and spewing an unending tide of Daedra. A rogue agent isn't trying to summon up a army of unstoppable kill bots that will wipe the galaxy of sentient life. It's just "Daggoth Ur has got some plans and will do something someday". It's not an immediate crisis. The Ghostgate is just the way it's been for a long time. Civilization is not facing imminent peril. The enemies plans are not clear or even known to be fully in motion. It's ok to take some time. Same reason why it felt comfortable to explore in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

Last I heard, the head of HR in the company was still a relative of his. Wow that's hosed up if true. I'm gonna pour one out for New Vegas tonight.

Build-a-Boar posted:Sorry if there's a better thread for this but I can't find it and this is driving me nuts: I watched someone play a game awhile ago that I wanted to try for myself but I can't remember what the hell it was. It was a PC game from maybe the 90s where you manage a tribe or village or something sending people out to gather, barter, wage war, all that typical stuff. But it had duck people that lived in swamps, maybe? Like actual humanoid ducks. Someone on SA has an avatar of it but I can't remember who. Please help me game goons, you're my only hope. King of Dragon Pass, available on GOG Protip: Do NOT try to buy cattle from the ducks. They will laugh at you and you will be humiliated.

You haven't experienced emergent storytelling until you've decided all on your own, without any prompting from the game, that a convenient way to deal with birthing a retarded son is to repeatedly order him into battle against the infidels until the situation resolves itself.
