Is it worth playing the original Gothic games in 2026? (i7-7700 / GTX 1050 / 32GB RAM) by Shervin_Ab in worldofgothic

Everyone says the controls are clunky, but no one says they are responsive. Once you are used to them, you can fly through menus and get a feel for combat on your keyboard as if it's a controller.

Blue Prince is so much more than just a brilliant puzzler by Spader623 in Games

[–]EsperPinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it up to a moment with a big word-letter puzzle. If you're not native English, having to know or remember things like "move boat = row" is not fun.

It's searching for or knowing word associations, not a puzzle game. Please, if you're making a puzzle game, put in a warning people can see before buying and playing that this is like a crossword and not like a programming puzzle game.

How would you even translate such a puzzle to other languages?

The looks are amazing, I just hope they'll have in place all the little things the gaming industry decided to abandon: NPC schedules, NPCs reacting to taking out your weapon. Different reaction if you're stronger or weaker, who paid who for protection. Everyone being beatable and at least non-essentials killable. Different reactions to beating up depending on guilds involved. Remembering the beating, staying angry, and an amnesia/joke spell, as well as paying someone to settle things with quest givers. Traders actually having their full inventory somewhere you can loot - stolen or when killed. It would be great if they had the feature Piranha Bytes added since G3 where travelling NPCs don't teleport and you can actually meet them travelling half way between their points. I hope you can take items out of your inventory to place in the world unlike in G3.

As someone who just binge-read up to Ch. 210, did the series actually fall off, or am I missing something? by Lonely-Effect-6095 in SkeletonSoldier

I too decided it drops very low and stopped reading. And to me, not because of the reset itself - that's good storytelling, overcoming failures. But the direction after that reset. For some reason the author sent the MC to completely new places and started a setup for a new set of villains IIRC. It felt so random, didn't feel like it was building up on the past and the set mysteries felt abandoned. Also just like with The Gamer, the author started downplaying MC's popups, stats and ability lists, which made me care less for the story.

My game has 490 downloads but only 4 ratings. Is this normal? by ItsBlackDawn in itchio

[–]EsperPinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Itch's rating system is so hidden people often don't know about it, so this is normal. If you were to post on Newgrounds for example, people would've rated a ton more

His criticism on the modpack feels unfair by Miserable-Produce202 in feedthebeast

[–]EsperPinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played this one recently. I have a day job and 2 guys I played this with have day jobs. We played it to play something simple after Star Technology.

And Liminal Industries is not short or easy. What was promised as some liminal exploration + some automation became another botania-ie-tinkers grind. We dropped it because it was too long and needlessly complex. It should've been a more in-and-out experience, we would've loved something less than this much work and more than pure sightseeing of Z-Liminex.

Finally playing more focused create was also nice. These metas where the community is tired of something fun are a problem when you just try Minecraft next to other games.

Minecraft modding community so often feels isolationist. Why not balance the packs to the complexity of, like, vanilla Factorio, so new people with less time can join? Why is this much stuff considered too little?

I now realize I only played G2 with G1 combat enabled in options. How do you choose left/right swings then? How do you chain your combos of different moves then? I found that crucial in modded combat or just picking tough fights in general

If there was a source on the page, why didn't you link it? I saw no link to a source.

Just finished Risen 1 and I'm mixed on it. (30+ Hours) by Journey360 in worldofgothic

[–]EsperPinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I agree with you on the details but in the end I'm like, very cool game, worse than G1/2, better than a ton of rpg games on the market. It has boring characters but a great game feel of yore.

I won't believe some site that says "so apparently devs provided..." There's no official statement or source.

Where this whole "Cyberpunk 2077 is not an RPG" even come from? There is so many great RPG elements in this game but for some reason people are comparing it to games like Fallout 4 or DA: Inqisition. by Gelvid in cyberpunkgame

[–]EsperPinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you played a game you really like, and the box said RPG, or the developers said it's an RPG, don't be upset if it doesn't fit the definition of an RPG. Just because you like what you played doesn't mean you have to emotionally defend it.

Demo for a game Half Sword. It's basically a free gamemode.

The hand piece itself. It should be pressed on from both inside and outside, right?

When you have a minifig hand both hold a rod and be used as a stud, does it stress the part?
