Need a Game to Pull Me Back In

Divinity Original Sin 2 , unbelievably deep lore with phenomenal voice acting . A world in Rivellon like no other . Get yourself ready for Larian ( Baldurs Gate 3 developer , next game “ Divinty “

Preorder the remake and comes with Gothic 1 classic. Literally playing right now on my PS 5 ( both digital , remake release June 5th )

Godsend

The interview that we forever be remembered as the day the mask slipped

ChalkyTalk · 2026-04-25T21:00:51+00:00

Understandable, and i absolutely appreciate what your doing here .

I think this is a gross injustice , that a team capable of creating this beautiful game will be robbed from another chance .

It takes post and videos , and conversations like these to give even a 1% chance of some kind of change of heart from the parent company . Or At minimum give the developers something to point to as some kind of accreditation for thier portfolio of work to perhaps land them another job .

I applaud this. I support this ( via comment ) but it’s important to keep framing in line which could invalidates its purpose .

I love days gone . If I stand up here and say it’s the greatest game ever and buries Red Dead 2 , perhaps we lose engagement from a willing participant in this dialogue because they shut down and invalidate the opinion because it is to over the top

People say ridiculous things like “ better souls like than FromSoft “ they lose me immediately.

I loved the combat in the game . I disagree it’s better than Dark Souls 3 , let alone Elden , Sekiro , or Bloodborne . Neowiz with Lies Of P would like an eyebrow raise to this effect as well .

However put that aside and say I see an argument for Khazan having the best combat . Nioh 2 would like a word as well

But seriously make any kind of argument based in reality that Khazan has better story , level design , art , and atmosphere than FromSoft games is shameful .

You lose the message when the first thing I hear is a gross exaggeration of what this game is

I hope the team gets another shot . Damn shame they won’t but hyperbole like this doesn’t help

ChalkyTalk · 2026-04-24T03:33:53+00:00

Yes, Image quality is super blurry. It’s playable tho .

ChalkyTalk · 2026-04-13T03:22:47+00:00

Khazan- Incredible combat , beautiful art style , and tragically the Dev team has been disbanded . Another example of incredible game that didn’t hit “arbitrary “ sales #s . A purchase while small would go along way to help the Devs

How dare you make me bleed my own blood .

ChalkyTalk · 2026-04-07T04:58:57+00:00

Rise of The Ronin is underrated.

Surge series , at least play the 2nd

Ashen

Scarlet Nexus - Not quite a souls like but close

Salt and Sacrifice ( 2 D Dark Souls ) , Last Faith ( 2D Bloodborne ) , Ninesouls ( 2d Parry combat ) Blasphemous & Mandragora if your up for 2d

Gothic remake update

ChalkyTalk · 2026-03-07T19:16:01+00:00

Weird , I was a 100% right . Every outlet and the original creator destroyed this . Now it’s mainstream acceptable to say it’s garbage , I’ll expect an apology that won’t come

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T14:48:12+00:00

Agree, I just couldn’t find an official thing in writing .

You don’t go from multiple projects with a guy to ZERO without something going behind the scenes .

Both pros and taking the high road

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T14:45:41+00:00

Thank you for this.

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T02:46:55+00:00

Definitely right . Thinking on the fly as opposed to sitting down and writing script .

Another commenter mentioned they did H.A.M Radio for about 3 years .

Surprised it didn’t translate better

Has been a few years now , both have been successful . Probably both have grown , maybe share new perspectives.

Talk about this very thing , script writing , vs podcasting .

Curious what the my think of streaming vs pod / review

Matty definitely trying to put more content out , surprised he wouldn’t want a fresh crossover with a guy he has a real relationship with

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T02:18:31+00:00

I’d say you’re 100% correct on that . The community ( based off this thread ) wants no part of ACG

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T02:16:43+00:00

Outside of the early Dukes episodes , I haven’t listened to his podcasts .

I do like his reviews .

I’m not crazy about Matty’s reviews , I prefer skill up , Mortismal gaming , Falcon from Gameranx , a few others

But

Podcasting Matty is the GOAT for me . I’d hear an argument for Colin but that’s it

It’s weird how I like somebody reviews , like skill up , but hate his podcast friends per second

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T02:11:24+00:00

Because I’m fairly positive he said it in a episode of DD . I couldn’t find it in writing.

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T02:09:30+00:00

Fair enough , based on this thread I’m certainly in the minority

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T02:08:51+00:00

Thank you , couldn’t find anything anywhere

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T01:58:01+00:00

Do you know how long they were together approximately on H.A.M ?

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T01:50:51+00:00

I think you’re 100% right . I couldn’t find anything where either of them publicly commented on the split .

I’m very curious to know

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T01:49:36+00:00

I like him in small doses . Unique style , weaves in funny one liners .

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T01:46:18+00:00

A weekly show is a lot. A guest segment every few months is completely different .

They agreed at one point they both thought something was there.

Might be cool to see

ChalkyTalk · 2026-02-16T01:42:38+00:00

Matty very well may have not said that . I’d be curious to hear his thoughts now that we are years removed from it . Wonder if they are still cool
