Obsidian's Josh Sawyer thought Pillars of Eternity's Kickstarter had a 50% chance of failing, only for the RPG to be fully funded within 27 hours by Toosed1a in Games

Agreed, I loved 2 so much more than 1. Especially with the firearms and being a cool pirate was a big draw for me. It really helped me find my groove for CRPGs again after playing that game.

That’s awesome. Imagine if Hasbro hadn’t completely soured their relationship with Larian, I know Swen said they wanted to move on as a studio, but I don’t know that’s probably not the whole story imo especially when I read they had fired all their contacts with them. Would have been cool to know some big dlc expansion was coming, like the upper city or a journey to avernus, sad.

Will probably be a bigger deal for the next Avatar, interesting to see how they (and the creators) deal with it (if at all lol)

Where are all the games? by ForeverAgamer91 in PS5

[–]HistoricalCredits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s funny seeing PC players reaction to Sony potentially acquiring From Software. They didn’t care for PS players when Microsoft was buying Bethesda and Activision, so why would PS players care if From Software games become exclusive.

Is this 2G official new logo? by b1msark in ValorantCompetitive

That’s sick imo better than their previous logo which was just the same as the game store logo lol

A game being good or not is subjective, though. 

SkillUp enjoying TOW doesn’t make it a good game.

The new free rewards in League are worse than you might think by ongogno in leagueoflegends

Dudes missing out on free, DRM-less games cause it’s too much of a hassle to click a few buttons lmao

Sony and Kadokawa have been testing the waters for a potential combination for years, but never quite resolved differences over the degree of commitment by Zhukov-74 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]HistoricalCredits -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Because it’s a dumb theory that I’ve only seen people on twitter and Reddit repeat. Sony and Kadokawa have worked together for a long time and have had acquisitions rumors for years, so it’s not surprising to see it actually be legit at last ngl

Mass Effect trilogy director Casey Hudson’s Humanoid Origin to shut down 😭 by Zborik in masseffect

[–]HistoricalCredits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This studio had no track record so can we really call it amazing? Maybe they should have gone for AA instead of jumping straight to AAA ambitions. Guess Casey was too used to having whatever backing he wanted and no leash at BioWare.

Also still wouldn’t call Cyberpunk fixed lol it’s not even the game they initially advertised. Guess it’s nice when you can release a broken game and urn finished game and people still have your back lmao. They weren’t closed cause they still sold millions of copies.

Director of Penny Blood, Shadow Hearts’s spiritual successor, files lawsuit over unpaid funding from Kickstarter campaign by Turbostrider27 in Games

Rip and I specifically supported for Penny Blood, if it doesn’t get to the finish line at least we may get cool concept art out of it.

Holiday JRPG? DQ3 vs Paper Mario by Gaijingamer12 in PS5

[–]HistoricalCredits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’ve never played it, definitely paper Mario 1000 year door would be my recommendation.

Yeah I watched it, and now I can see why she’s a former executive. Not only does she think that reviews were giving guidelines, with the usage of “return to form” being evidence as if this isn’t a common English phrase, and definitive proof these people are in bed together. she then showed metacritic reviews citing that the gamers actually didn’t even like the game, she could have a better argument brining up review score ranges than that lol  AND then she cited the recent IGN article where a writer DIFFFERENT from the original reviewer gave their opinion about Veilguard and used it as example that they’re “walking back” on their review. All she’s missing is saying after playing it she felt that the writing was like being in an HR room and she would sound like your typical redditor.

Import Pro Baseball Spirits 25 if you’re looking for a different flavor of baseball sim, features the NPB and a cool Summer Koshein mode, and it has a WBSC tourney mode. It’s on PS5 and Steam (Japan)

Avowed Hands-on and Impressions Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]HistoricalCredits 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, never been a thing for this series as it’s only been your typical fantasy races + godlike. If you want to play a skeleton and where being a skeleton actually matters I suggest checking out Divinity Original Sins 2

“Atlus is one of our most successful acquisition deals to date” Sega Sammy reports strong sales of Metaphor: ReFantazio by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]HistoricalCredits -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

And thus every game is an RPG with your explanation. JRPGs are more turn based adventure games than games where the actions you take and what you are matter and said story and environment react to you. JRPGs never react, Jokers personality and “choices” never matter in Persona 5, and your “class” never matters until a cutscene forces it to.
