super sweet best pal posted:I wouldn't bother with Chained Echoes. Not great in either the story or gameplay but the lack of originality in its hamfisted references and bits that ripped off prior games, those were what made me hate it. Any other Chained Echoes opinions? I was seriously considering this for a 'classic' RPG fix, but Im also not opposed to just playing another XCOM campaign

I had the same problem with Tyranny that I had with PoE2. I need a 'good' faction I can identify with because my power fantasy is helping people. I don't want 'everyone is bad' gritty realism. Gimme unrealistic infantile heroism

One More Fat Nerd posted:In tabletop, my brother literally won't play anything but halflings anymore. He's played since '89 and has lost so many characters to 1's on saves that he's traumatized, lol. Critical failures on 1s isnt a canon mechanic, and any DM who is killing characters because of 1s is either running a great game where everyone is having fun because they all agreed that critical failures make for higher stakes and fun stories, or they're an rear end in a top hat and bad DM. One of those two. Also, like every other game mechanic, critical failures punish martials more than anyone else because they roll more d20s

Frog Act posted:I haven’t played stellaris in years since I found the whole loop of slowly expanding and manually upgrading infrastructure until getting sidetracked by forced wars and stuff kinda frustrating but I keep hearing the expansions have changed that and what you’re describing sounds hella cool In my opinion, Utopia, Synthetic Dawn, Distant Stars, and Ancient Relics are the good ones. Leviathans, the new one Galactic Paragons, and Federations are tier 2. Everything else is niche. The base game has changed massively in the last two or three years too. Steam has a bundle with a few core DLCs in it right now if youve got cash to burn. Its an ok 'waste an evening optimizing' things game that hits similar to but slightly different from Civ, but not quite as convoluted as Hearts of Iron

Uncle Wemus posted:They're relocalizing clock tower 1 Neat. I played Clock Tower on the PS1 as a kid, which I guess is Clock Tower 2? Memory says it was creepier than Resident Evil but also made even less sense. It seems like something that would work better as a side scroller than a 3D game

One More Fat Nerd posted:I booted up Icewind Dale 2 a few weeks ago and had to back away from the screen. Gigantic Fisher-Price rear end UI. Luckily theres a resolution mod for that too. I play RPGs with my wife watching, and she needs subtitles to be able to follow along. Unfortunately, while a lot of games do have subtitles they often don't have any scaling for the subtitle text, so I have to play in low resolution to make the text readable. We're playing through Dragon Age 2 in glorious 1024x768.

Halls of Torment has too much thinking. You have to look at stats on level up and think about what they do. VS simplifies everything to little icons that are easy to learn. The candelabra makes areas bigger. The spinach does more damage. You can just turn your brain off and cruise. And even when new concepts get added it's slow and intuitive enough to still not require any real thought

Ytlaya posted:The horniness for the large Resident Evil vampire lady was always confusing to me and basically reminded me that there's a large variety of tastes and preferences in the world. IMO vampire lady was the only Village character who was actually creepy in a similar way to the family from the previous game. Large lady who eats blood all the time is just not sexy IMO, but it is a creepy concept. She might have big boobs/butt, but they're hosed up undead boobs/butt - gross! The other characters were "kind of funny looking fish man," "lady with kinda on-the-nose Spooky Dolls," "a guy who is just sorta annoying," and "a lady who is obviously evil." Only the large lady pulls off the contrast between "normal" and "gross/violent" that made the characters from the previous game spooky. People based their reactions to her entirely on trailers and previews, where she was just a large pale buxom scary lady with little to no characterization. Large pale buxom scary ladies check some people's boxes. Video games are a land of mystery.

KirbyKhan posted:FF16 HOT TAKE Magic also slowly kills the people who use it by petrifying them. Even the super powerful dudes who decide to kill god fall prey to magic's toxic effects. So its not a quest to exterminate the special characteristics of a designated slave caste so that everyone is the same, its a quest to destroy a malignant force that destroys its users and the world itself. There is no 'safe' use of magic where a responsible mage class could exist in a utopia outside of the corrupt power structures that dominate the world.

Or is 2 better? 1 has the better story and setting. 2 has more refined systems, but the world is just relentlessly awful e: sailing around on ships and shooting people is fun though. Good pirate game, bad political philosophy

Lostconfused posted:Hitting things hard isn't boring. It's certainly the least important part of the game too. The game is easily more than 50% exploration and talking to people. You need to build for face skills because talky bits are really important, and you need at least one person who is good at perception. As for warlock, I really wish great old one didn't have relatively terrible spells and abilities because it's the best flavor. Fiend is just so good.

Pathfinder is a game about stacking bonuses to infinity. It was made that way on purpose. The Pathfinder video game attempts to take that into account with stacked encounters to offer some challenge. If you're not into stacking bonuses to infinity there is no shame in lowering the difficulty, and its honestly recommended. Its still a good game and enjoyable story even if you aren't doing several hundred damage per round.
