    No chance to play yet, how's it feel???

    I believe I’ve finally heard ‘the song.’ Is it:

    Industry News / Upcoming Games

    Very interesting. We always hear hype when release dates approach, which led me to assume the player base was focussed on new titles. I thought I was the outlier by always waiting a year or more after release to try a game.

    Industry News / Upcoming Games

    @Antimatter Very interesting stats. But it would be nice to see numbers going 10 years or more to get a real idea of whether or not people are less inclined to buy new games these days. One possible deterrent to buying new games could be hardware requirements. A lot of the juicy titles in the...

    Anyone Willing to Give Me Feedback on My Novel?

    Congrats to everyone who is working on a creative project. I wish you joy and success! I am too busy, sadly, to be able to offer feedback, though this is something I would be happy to do, ideally. Every creative project is a leap of faith. Will the result be good? Will it be successful? Will...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Yes, my lore bard is also my thief. Luckily, the system works so that you're more than adequate at the job without sacrificing too much else. Well, by thief I mean locks and traps - so I'm missing out on stealth and backstabs - if there is such a thing in BG3. But I'm okay with that in this run...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Well, even on ‘balanced’ I find the combat ungodly hard in places. Maybe part of that is having a bard as my only arcane spell caster. But I’m hooked on my team and don’t want to switch it up. And some of the puzzles are frustrating (at least one is instadeath and horribly designed, so you die...

    A rant about games being delisted.

    I should have indicated that my question was about the phenomenon as a whole. The remaster argument ‘kind’ of makes sense, but as Fandraxx was saying, you’d have to be pretty insecure about the quality of your remaster to justify a scorched earth policy for legacy versions.

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Are you actually able to complete a no reload run of this game? If so, I salute you.

    A rant about games being delisted.

    Can anyone explain to me a possible motive for delisting? I feel like I’m missing something. I mean, if they’re digital sales, there are barely any labour costs or anything else I can think of that would make it prohibitive as a business model. Why would they abandon a revenue stream?

    Movies/series you're looking forward to

    A sequel is on the way for this.

    What game are you currently playing?

    I'm still playing BG3 - been playing since August, first 'playthrough' (with 2 restarts). 😂 Shit hit the fan with work this year, so I haven't had much time to play or be on here, unfortunately. I'm not sure I will ever finish BG3 - so much to unpack. Part of it is I'm getting tired of gaming...

    Minsc, Sarevok, Mellisan

    Great work! Will you do more of these?

    Dragon Age: The Veilguard

    My username on one of the forums (created many years ago) is ‘Biowarefan.’ That did not age well. 😂

    Appreciation of the whole BG3 cast

    It looks like the cast have really made the most of this and it's great to see. The voice acting in the game is phenomenal.

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    I even find disjointedness in Act 1. One example: on my first run I ran into a group of NPCs (can't remember which now) who started an in-depth conversation about The context of this conversation was that I already knew a fair deal about the situation, but in fact I knew absolutely nothing. By...

    No chance to play yet, how's it feel???

    I wasn’t sure I was ever going to get out of it. Now I’m roaming the FR as a noob again. 😂

    The sports thread

    Oh, he did in fact have a steel jaw, and the Lewis and Douglas fights are the proof. He was blasted over and over in those fights from practically the outset, and managed to last 10 and 8 rounds respectively. Outside of George Chuvalo, I’m hard pressed to remember anyone taking that much...

    The sports thread

    Oh, I don’t disagree with you on that. And for the record, I’m not a fan. I’m not a hater, but I have no interest in seeing him fight. I wish this phenomenon wasn’t a thing. But, I do acknowledge that he has some skills. Combined with his youth, it may be enough to beat Tyson - assuming, of...

    The sports thread

    That fight is still on, unfortunately - rescheduled for November. I think Tyson is going to get stopped. It's all around embarrassing and unnecessary, especially considering that Tyson is making loads of money from podcasts and other business ventures. It's not like he's still broke with the IRS...

    No chance to play yet, how's it feel???

    Well, I'm a couple hours in, and I'm finally getting a grasp on the basics of game play. It's already apparent that this is a great game. Thank you, everyone, for your input! Now if I can only get, 'Down, down, down, by the river!' out of my head. 😂
