imperium owns. I like the original dune bg more thematically because that game is like, the perfect example of how to adapt a book to a board game, but imperium has the important edge of just being a good interesting game on top of it.

of all the stuff in dd2, being able to camp outside is probably the one thing thats unreservedly an improvement over dd1. because dd1 is very much, just the one town and a couple of outposts and everything takes a travel day to get to

Infinity Gaia posted:On the other hand it DID force you to actually interact with night time, while in DD2 campfires are all over the place so you never really have to deal with that stuff if you don't want to unless a random night attack happens (extremely rare in my experience). the dark secret of both DDs though is, night time isn't that bad. it's dark and you can't see poo poo but both games are fairly easy also. I never gave a poo poo about night in DD1, and DD2 I mostly camped just because ghosts are annoying

I'm still collecting my feelings about DD2 and they're definitely, mostly positive and have enjoyed every bit of the 100 hours I've put into it, but also can't help but be a little disappointed because it is not an unquantifiably better game than 1. I'm considering doing a quickie ng+ run to gently caress around with it a bit more but I think I'd be equally satisfied doing another run of DD1 moment to moment it's vastly improved and the combat is, still continuing to surprise and amaze me. but DD1 I love for the feeling of adventuring and weird rear end quest design and esoteric scenario and DD2 is a game that is mostly, quantity over quality in every regard. everything's just bigger scale but with about the same amount of Stuff. the maps multiple times larger than DD1's but, it also has about as many interesting locations just further apart, and also the same amount of monster variety as the game that's four times shorter. there are some good quests and they have some crazy contingency design where a lot of my quests just, do not resemble how other people describe them but also just proportionally a lot of them are kinda nothing. also massively expanded scope in how they expect you to interact with NPCs but, none of them really have poo poo to say or react to what's currently happening. I think I'd rather them, just make another game at DD1 scale and the endgame is insanely cool in a way that expands from DD1's, but also, it's about as much or slightly less content than the everfall just blown out to cover the entire map so you have to travel more to see it (but traveling is, somewhat interestingly built into the design of it) final snailscore... 85.6%. but sadly DDDA is solidly 87.4ish, perhaps even 88. will revise score when dlc comes out homeless snail fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Apr 2, 2024 |

Macaluso posted:Everything I hear about Dragon's Dogma 2 is people going "This game is annoying and frustrating and bad and it's FUNDAMENTAL to the design of the game to be bad so that's why it's good actually" and I gotta say it's not really selling me on the game. its a game with a lot of friction, in ways that most games dont but also, in a way that kinda evokes the feeling of old school d&d a little bit

Khanstant posted:It's a pretty straightforward game where you run around and have fun fighting monsters. It discourages fast travel somewhat, so some folks are acting like it's a huge bold statement of game design instead the basic stuff that we had in final fantasy 1.

games with native touchscreen support kinda died out when they realized no one was interested in windows tablets. they don't sell it on steam anymore so idk if you can get it, but when I used a windows 8 tablet I used a program called gestureworks gameplay that let me set up reasonably good touchscreen controls for games

thinking about dd2 some more and I sincerely hope that even people that don't play that game or gave up on it, get to see the absolutely absurd late title card 60 hours into that game. one of the all time greats. and also the entire reason they didnt want to have a new game option lol spending the entire game pretending its a remake or reimagining of dragons dogma including the title screen just saying "dragons dogma". and then when it becomes incredibly clear exactly how the game is a sequel with you visiting locations from the first game, late title card DRAGON'S DOGMA II, and the 2 being permanently added to the title screen also

Waffleman_ posted:I also saw an opinion piece saying that Dragon's Dogma 2's success despite its friction might mean the market is primed for a Dead Rising reboot that goes back to the systems of the first one, since it came from that same kinda era in Capcom's history where they were just trying things out.

I just looked and eq1 has 24 official servers right now, 10 of them are some kind of progression or classic. and then there's p99 and all the eqemu servers. number of people that are interested in playing eq is definitely vastly smaller than wow, and they're doing fine
