Terrible news yesterday. https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/microsoft-is-closing-down-xbox-studio-the-initiative 9000 people laid off, games cancelled... A tragedy. And even the MMO I played - ESO - is affected. Their studio head is stepping down. Also noticed Techland supposedly...

Great to hear you gave NieR a go! The prologue is probably the hardest part of the game because there are no saves, and when you die, you need to start over. And it's the first area the player gets, everything is still new. The double saw-bladed arm boss is brutal, and usually, my solution was...

When I played PoE with minimal reloads, I had a melee cipher with high CON and Resolve, Eder as a tank, Pallegina as a semi-tank, Durance and Aloth, and Kana. I gave Kana a long-reach weapon and upped his Might so that he effectively stood behind my melee folks and still inflicted a ton of...

My advice is still the same. Try Kenshi. :p

Honesty (and embarrassingly), I haven't played the DOOM games. I was more an RPG person than a FPS person. That said, over the last ~10 years I've been catching up with many games, and many genres. For example, I absolutely loved Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and Metal: Hellsinger. I got...

Didn't expect this: https://www.eurogamer.net/chris-avellone-joins-former-quantic-dreams-writer-at-republic-games-to-work-on-ambitious-project-inspired-by-golden-age-of-rpgs Republic Games was set up last year by Adam Williams, the former lead writer for Quantic Dream's Detroit: Become Human...

Wait, what happened there in the inn? I can't understand how the fight started and why.

I'm optimistic about The Blood of Dawnwalker, but also quite cautious. I watched their gameplay reveal trailer twice, the second time at the x0.25 speed, to be able to evaluate what was shown there in more detail. The video was a bit rough, as is, I don't think the game will be out in 2026...

Looks like China is indeed going to provide a lot of quality big games in the future. Wukong won the Game Award for Best Action Game and Player's Voice Award last year, and today NetEase, a publisher of the highly successful Marvel Rivals, announced their take on the Assassin's Creed formula -...

That's actually very insightful. I might not be a soulslike fan, but I would enjoy such types of insights, observations, and opinions. Also, I think we have at least 3, tagging @Nimran, who mentioned Elden Ring here. It also might happen that while someone is not interested in a particular game...

Maybe this one? It was on the table where I had my mouse pointer. It's easy to miss, as you think more about the doves and distracting the officer. Even the streamer missed it here, look at 18:21 in the video below, and pause at 18:29:

Hah, Boo going for the eyes is classic! Also, thanks for all the reports while I was away from this thread. It's incredibly helpful to read your thoughts about classes, subclasses, MCing, choices, etc. As Ch'r'ai W'wargaz (how do you even spell that?) put it, knowledge is everything! Henry...

Funny, I also got all the notes/collectibles in Chapter 2 as well. I definitely agree about facial expressions and "overheard" dialogue, plus the MC's commentary. Quality level. There is an update from the developer...

WarHorse Studios developers are so talented, creative, passionate, and at the same time, modest and human. If you ever need to know why, how, and what it took for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to turn out that good, watch this documentary: The documentary was shot in Prague in February. They...

Great that you've found our Tavern, Finarfin! A friend of Borco is always welcome here! Take a seat and enjoy your stay!🥗

I'm a fan of strategy games, and there are so many subgenres of them, so it's good you've started a new thread. Obviously, Heroes of Might & Magic games (TBS) stand out, we have a thread for them, https://tavernrpg.com/threads/heroes-of-might-and-magic-games.232/ Then, there are RTS games such...

I agree, that is quite a long demo, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Saves will be compatible with the live version, but considering I also missed a few collectibles, I might replay it first. It is fun collecting those notes in this game, it helps the world to feel more alive, and MC's comments...

I've been busy this weekend playing a lot of demos during the Steam Next Fest. I think it was around 15 demos that I tried. Now I'm totally sold on and looking forward to Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream by River End Games. It's an isometric, narrative-driven stealth game, and it's beautiful. I...

One thing this game is good at is the variety of builds, that's for sure. And also, how easy it is to respec and customize as many times as you'd like. Something I always missed in Pathfinder and Pillars of Eternity games (where respec-cing is very expensive). Congrats on surviving the...

I was worried there when you first mentioned the fight didn't start out well, but it's good you recovered! Funny how you're posing next to Gish, and for some reason, he's standing as a statue! As for the Inflict Wounds spell, it sounds great; there is finally a use for it, considering the...
