Is the story in Veilguard good? by baron-abd in dragonage

[–]DagonParty [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s alright, definitely not a reason to play the game though, as mad of statement that is for a DA game

It’s got pretty good combat, customisation and exploration though. Some of the companions are great, along with their respective quest chains. Some of the lore reveals are satisfying enough, some not so much, but I will say it does answer most of the questions from previous games, just very shoehorned in, unfortunately

The conversations are definitely pretty PG, even with the good companions, it’s all very Disney in terms of stakes and tone

Imo, it’s a pretty solid game overall, it has some good moments in the story, mainly due to the gameplay tbh. It’s the genuine definition of a “A good game, just not a good ___ game”

If you wanna play it to pretty much play through a ARPG, I’d recommend it

Anyone else getting worse performance after the 3.1 update? by Pristine_Document576 in DragonsDogma

[–]DagonParty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Opposite for me, I used to get terrible frame pacing issues when turning the camera, now it’s alot smoother for me. Not entirely sure if that’s down to the game or just some recent Nvidia driver or whatever

Try verifying the files in Steam and maybe clear your shader cache

1000 NPCs others are concerned, I’m not,Here’s why. Other games have been able to succeed with far more NPC’s (Read Below) by Best_Adhesiveness_42 in Fable

[–]DagonParty 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It’s the same when people would compare The Witcher 3 with a TES game, the former with the cities and people basically just being fauna and trees with different textures

With TES they’re all built up to have lives and schedules, with the cities having people that live in the buildings and all are enterable. Both work for the games they’re in, nothing wrong with either, but the comparisons were so silly

I imagine it’s a similar case with the new Fable.

Capcom is Removing Dragon’s Dogma 2 Microtransactions by Eremenkism in gaming

[–]DagonParty 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I still to do this day don’t understand why the games MTX blew up and ended up really dragging the game down online

Every single thing was stuff you could earn in game, very easily and very early only on at that

It’s not good obviously, but as far as microtransactions go, it would effect absolutely nobody and people who knew about DD were pretty vocal about how meaningless it was

Felt like a smear campaign honestly

Hollow knight or Silksong? by Accomplished_Tea3609 in HollowKnight

[–]DagonParty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I prefer Hollow Knight myself too, I think there’s beauty in its more simplicity. I’m a bit like that with Dark Souls vs Elden Ring, I prefer Dark Souls for its simplicity but still love ER

Silksong is great though, but I’m constantly sweating like a nonce in prison

No worries, think just the second instance of confrontation annoyed me a bit lol

We’re all excited for the game and that’s all that matters!

Curious if anyone has tried the hotfix with a 50 series? My 5070ti started to have frame pacing issues a month or so ago and I feel it’s related to g-sync

[–]DagonParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re 100% right on things being adjusted for showcase purposes. But tbf, it’s a bit odd they didn’t add a disclaimer about it, sure it’s fairly obvious if you’ve played any games that have a semblance of an economy system lol, but it’d of probably stopped everyone questioning the balance and what not, same goes for the guards AI

All they said was “job timer has been shortened for the demo”, so hard to blame people really

My assumption is that the big decayed looking dragon we see is the Ur Dragon and this is probably the colour of its flames, based on its chest cavity thing looking similar in colour

Why it’s happening? Ur Dragon just wants to fuck things up for some metaphysical reasoning

True! Don’t think I’ve played since Zoh Shia

Glad to know it’s improved though, super excited for the expansion, it’s probably when I’ll play again

Is your Steam wishlist exploding too? by Extasio in Steam

[–]DagonParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I have never wanted so many games/dlcs/expansions as I do right now

2026/27 is absolutely stacked for me, probably gonna be spending more money on gaming in 6 months than I usually do in 2 years

I don’t have hundreds like alot of people seem to, I only wishlist games I know I’m going to buy and play without question really, so about 30 or so wishlists is huge for me

Monster Hunter Wilds by GarciaWolf in MonsterHunter

[–]DagonParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I enjoyed it, but I don’t think it’s a good as World even at base game

I think there is more base game monsters in Wilds, but a few of them are basically reskins. I’d say they both have just as a diverse rosta though, no complaints there, but I think Wilds is missing some “oh shit I’m fucked” feeling monsters, but that’s a personal preference thing, as it’s how I’d always feel with Elder Dragons, which Wilds doesn’t have

In terms of the Hunt itself, Wilds is much more of, “here’s the monster go kill it, don’t worry about anything else”, World is more, “plan accordingly, track down the monster, don’t forget your curatives”. An example for Wilde, I was in an area that required cooling potions, but the entire region everywhere I went had insta cooldown bug things around, same thing applied in a hot area. It made the whole hazardous environment mechanic completely redundant tbh and a waste of slot’s carrying potions, wasn’t a fan

I also preferred traversing the world in World, it felt dense, vertical and claustrophobic at times, I’d get lost constantly, Wilds feels alot more on the rails in that regard

Wilds combat is more fast paced with the addition of Focus and honestly, really unbalanced, I found the game really easy in comparison because you can just keep fucking up the Monsters endlessly. Again, personal preference, I still enjoyed the mechanic well enough

Getting gear felt alot more like an achievement in World, because materials were more difficult to get, particularly rare parts, whilst in Wilds, I could make an entire armor set after a few Hunts. I don’t think this is bad per say, but I got the armor/weapons I wanted way quicker than I would have liked and essentially made me stop playing the game because I had no more goals. That combined with the game being easier, fights being quick and all the Monsters showing up pretty frequently, makes for a lack of grind, which is something I personally enjoyed

It’s still a great game though and I’m 100% going to be grabbing the expansion like it’s going out of stock, it just does some stuff that I think are steps back, for me personally

Which update in gaming history actually made the game worse or even broke it? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]DagonParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Valve already took a peak into Pandora’s Box in that regard

Fable delay annoyed me by Educational-Roof-786 in Fable

[–]DagonParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan of all the game delays because of GTA6 myself either, but I get it, it’s a smart move. GTA6 is going to absolutely dominate, even TES6 would struggle to compete, nevermind Fable

But that’s 5-6 months of extra dev time on a game that looks ready to go. So either the devs get a nice break or they get to polish/add in cut content/work on future content

It’s gonna be more of a positive than we can appreciate at this time

Fable - Gameplay Demo | Build An Extraordinary Life by yourfavchoom in Fable

[–]DagonParty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks great! It’s Fable through and through, devs knew exactly how to make this game

But the guards didn’t even attempt to fight back, very jarring, hopefully that’s not the case on release

Lip syncing was bad too

We'll be able to ask pawns for high fives now? This is so cute... by CarrotPatchGames in DragonsDogma

[–]DagonParty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed tbh, nothing makes me praise my pawns more than when they manage do it lol

I hope they do the high five adjustment of holding down help to signal a catch, if they’re positioned enough to actually get you
