The story wasn't amazing, but for a solo dev effort I thought the game itself was fun, and the dud crystal system apparently got redone and vastly improved. I dunno, it's worth getting on sale i m o

Decent but less than the sum of its parts. I do think it's a very good showing for solo dev.

It does kind of just cram Xenogears, final fantasy, Chrono trigger, and a bunch of other RPGs from that era and end up with a game that's not as good as others. The story starts out strong, gets worse as it goes.

I think it's worth 20 dollars

i will say that the battle system is fun enough that it carries the game all the way through. there's enough challenge there and enough stuff to mess around with that i hardly got bored except for the ~20 minutes i spent postgame to grab the last couple achievements.

trying to decide what class to play in bg3 first. playing a monk is pretty appealing for punch tactics, but maybe do something i normally don't play like a paladin or a bard instead

Quarles final showdown has incredible slapstick potential even beyond what the show itself included

Honestly Season 4 would be perfect for a game since it's a self-contained mystery

this defeats the spirit of gaming, which is to pay for a bad game and be forced to keep it and play it over and over

this is 100% true. everyone enjoyed gaming more when you only got a game every birthday or christmas and had really no say in what you got. whatever it was, you learned to enjoy the hell out of it even if it was absolute trash.

my cousin really wanted ff3 (vi) so that christmas my grandma went out and picked up ff3 for the gameboy for him. had to learn to love it, even though he didn't have a gameboy

I think they intended to have this horrific introduction scene to gnolls where they popped out of hyenas chestburster style but I used the ranger option to snap the first one's neck then slaughtered the rest in the first round so I haven't actually encountered a living gnoll yet

I did kill a group of paladins and burn down their house tho

those gnoll archers suck rear end. three attacks per round god drat it

i went into a duergar fort with one goal, and spent no joke 3 hours crawling through the whole thing teasing out different ways to do it, it almost felt like a hitman level. and there was still poo poo unraveling like 2 hours into the crawl. like i found a way to stir up a mutiny that completely changes the dynamic of the boss encounter, but it still quite wasn't the solution i wanted (all these fucks had to die more or less)

but yeah, game is phenomenal

that last fight is hilarious because the AI is dead set on knocking everyone into magma. it's a good strategy but it's such a dick move.

yeah its a motherfucker

also i was picking off all the duergar before freeing nere to kill him too, and i got the big room fight started and it went great because i started it by blowing 2 of them to bits with 2 smokepowder barrels and gusting 2 others into the lava, but halfway through the fight this one little shithead shoved astarion into the lava, then chucked a loving smokepowder bomb at the debris and cleared nere out, i'm like "YOU FUCKER"

i haven't upgraded my pc in 10 years so the nme stuff was new to me although i still got a 250gb ssd for windows when i built this machine.

now im thinking it's time to upgrade, was going to wait until black friday though to pick up some stuff.

I thought my Sandy Bridge could still hack it but then CODMW 2019 came along and I CTDed all the time. :rip: I replaced it with a Ryzen 3600 and the CTDs went away.

Black friday deals will hopefully be good. AMD is the meta now. I upgraded to a 5600 last year for 120 bucks and it was just a drop in part since I had the motherboard already. I finally got a 3060 and it was under 300 bucks. Flash storage is cheap. RAM is better than it used to be price wise.

This is probably a good time to upgrade. Quick, do it before cryptocurrency has another surge or they figure how to monetize AI on random consumer cards.

I've always had nvidia cards just because they tended to be more stable than AMD but that was a long time ago. my 970 is a god tier graphics card, never had one last 10 years and run things well that long, but now stuff like baldur's gate 3 is crushing it. willing to give AMD a shot though because nvidia is a devil company.
right AMDs are processors, and AMD Radeon is GPUs, i got confused


I need a new mobo, a processor, RAM along with the GPU. I figure my case and PSU and old harddrives should still work.

ENDLESS dungeon is pretty good, the same basic elements of the first game but with combat that's engaging instead of just moving guys from room to room and watching them fight.
