Mass Effect 3 should have done the same thing instead of giving you a choice, so that if you played goody two-shoes compromise candidate Shepard the entire time you got the horrible synthesis ending as punishment.

Summoning makes Dark Souls absolutely trivial, to the point where I don't understand why you'd ever do it if you actually enjoy the gameplay of the series. I don't think the dev's opinions have anything to do with it.

It's actually a little frustrating because I think it would be cool to have a game in that genre but where you're expected to handle certain encounters in groups and they're balanced accordingly.

I love when people summon because I love being summoned with my dumb gimmick builds.

(I also like invading people when they have people summoned)

Yeah I know of that. Alex used to be a cool chiptune musician and I hope they get help.

Basically the DMCA/ContentID system was a bad solution to a problem because Google didn't know how to solve said problem with actual manpower/manhours, and the current demonetization scraper is the same exact thing

It's just google wanting to save money by not hiring actual people to do the work.

These bubbles can be popped really easily, though, and threatening to sue another developer (especially a big, established one with an above-neutral reputation) for copying your game is a great way to piss off a whole lot of players.

The amount of players who care about stuff like that enough to stop playing is trivial

Tyranny was pretty good. It along with pillars of eternity did however confirm that real-time-with-pause combat was always bad and I just tolerated it when I was younger.

I'll take turn-based combat like in Original Sin 2 over it any day.

precision posted:

Well, I think it's not the turns that have variable durations, just that actions have variable speeds? Like the IE games had an option to "auto-pause at turn's end". They still had turns.

I'm leery of saying that entirely turn-based combat is any better because look at Wasteland 2.

There are plenty of good turn-based based combat systems though, even in the CRPG genre.

Look the newly released Original Sin 2 for example.

precision posted:

Well I mean, quality is subjective and on a case by case basis. That's what I was getting at. There are good RTwP games and bad turn-based games, and vice versa. Neither system is inherently better.

I'm just bummed out because I like Obsidian games otherwise but I just can't take the battle systems any more.

It's either pathetically easy making combat just a waste of time or requires annoying micromanagement while also being very slow and unrewarding. Charliefoxtrot summarized my opinion on the matter pretty well, especially this part:

CharlieFoxtrot posted:

So what RTwP ends up becoming is a turn-based game with variable turn durations, an aspect that makes things more complicated while adding few interesting choices. It gives you the worst of both worlds by creating a gameplay experience that is both chaotic and difficult to manage while also being fiddly and slow.

the iOS version (which is a port of the PSP one) surprisingly just got an update the other week, years after release, and it also plays really well. It’s such a natural fit on a tablet

The controls are infinitely worse. It's really clear that the game wasn't designed for touchscreens.

It's still a really good port all things considered.
