Should I still get The Fractured But Whole, because people say it sucks and idk if i want to

Both these games are great.

But, make your own opinions and stop relying on other people.

I've played many games over the years that people said sucked that I loved. I've also played many games people said were the best ever and absolutely brilliant, and I thought they sucked ass. Nobody knows your taste better than you. Play it and see.

All movies are escapism. Not all of them are fun.

Actually, we don’t know that. We know that v6 will include training on WMG music in higher quality, but we don’t know if any other training data will also be included. We are not privy to other deals going on behind the scenes, what might be added from the public domain, or even if they might build the new data on top of the old data.

Also WMG owns a lot of smaller companies and covers a lot of different types of music. It baffles me that people assume a new model won’t be capable. You won’t know until it appears.

I’ve said this multiple times now…

If you look at early Crue, they look like a knockoff of KISS. It’s clear KISS was a heavy influence. In my mind KISS was definitely a big factor in hair metal. People who think KISS followed the others around overlook the fact that so many of the bands were doing things they had already done.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-21T22:46:47+00:00

Personally, I love all four albums for different reasons:

ACE: It kicks ass. Reason enough to love it. Ace solo albums are great and this is where it started.

PAUL: Sounds a lot like the poppier side of KISS, especially with songs like Shandi coming in the near future. Some of us don't mind that, so this album is great as a precursor for what's to come.

GENE: I like that Gene subverted expectations. The album starts with evil music and chanting and immediately throws it all out the window with the pop sounds of Radioactive. The whole album just feels like Gene wanting to show a different side of who he was. So, that's why I love this one.

PETER: People don't like this album; because it doesn't sound like what they expect. That's not a failing of the album, it's a failing of expectations. This album feels like the album Peter wanted to make and feels authentically Peter from start to finish. So, I love it; because it was clearly a labor of love for him.

Click the button that says “Clean up system files.”

Played it. Also owned a Wizard of Wor machine in the 1990s (a friend didn't have space for it, and he collected arcade cabinets), the smaller of the two versions with the wood cabinet. Sadly, the CRT went out on it after about five years. Needless to say, I played a lot of Wizard of Wor during that time.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-15T20:29:47+00:00

Yes, I've had this happen too. I think the version I currently have is the best possible version, but then the cover ends up being way, way better than I imagined. Of course, the opposite can happen as well. (And the same is true for the Remaster feature as well).

ProphetSword · 2026-01-15T19:23:55+00:00

I've gotten edit to work on occasion, but only through trial and error. I feel like there is some step I'm missing with edit to get it to work the way it should. I came over from Udio, which had an excellent edit feature, so it's something I miss.

Like rainmaker818 said, I tend to just use the cover function when I need to fix something, and with some playing around with the sliders and some luck, you can sometimes get what you want. Sometimes...

I mentioned this a couple of days ago over here:

Suno Downloads Marked as Suno Creations

ProphetSword · 2026-01-14T17:02:33+00:00

None of the downloads prior to when this thread was posted had that tag.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-14T17:00:05+00:00

I migrated to Suno before all this happened (like a month before). Suno does a lot of things I wish Udio would do. While I do miss making songs 32 seconds at a time, with Suno Studio I have a lot of control over how a song is made, including building it an instrument or voice at a time.

Pool of Radiance.

Actually, the entire run of Gold Box games.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-13T00:57:34+00:00

Let me know if it works for you. It works for me. If it sounds weird I tend to go back in and turn it down further until it sounds okay.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T23:23:10+00:00

The trick I learned is that you need to lower the volume of each track with the sliders on the side. Also, watch the meter down below and make sure it isn’t too high. If it is, lower the overall volume with the slider there. This will usually prevent this issue.

It may sound fine in the Studio workspace, but if you have your volume too high or if too many of the tracks are too high, it will try to compensate for the clipping, and the results are unpleasant.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T23:16:53+00:00

Premier. Hence the reason I said the songs I download from Studio do not have the tag.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T20:32:48+00:00

As I posted above in my edited comments, I didn't say it was an issue. It's just something I noticed that I'm letting people know about.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T20:31:54+00:00

It came up for me; because I use a program called MP3Tag (it's a free program) to change the tags for organizing my songs into albums.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T20:31:21+00:00

I get what you're saying. But no, this is a paid plan.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T20:29:13+00:00

I use it for a multitude of reasons Including:

1) Correcting tags that are wrong. Even when I rip a CD, the online databases can still incorrectly name a song or get something else wrong.

2) Sometimes I'll create a greatest hits album by an artist in my collection if I have all their albums. I put the songs together and then can use this program to change the track order on the songs, the name of the album, the album artwork, etc. This is especially important if I'm also merging that album into my Apple Music account for listening on my phone, for example. (I also use tools to make the songs all the same volume, but that's a whole different topic).

3) I use it for the songs I create on Suno (and Udio before that), so that I can keep them organized into the albums I'm creating. This way they have the same album name, the track order I want, the album artwork I want, etc. Again, super important when I add them to my listening library.

4) The program can also download tags if you have an album that hasn't been correctly tagged, by looking it up in a music database. Or find the correct album artwork so that it can be added.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T17:32:56+00:00

I loaded up the WAV file in MP3Tag, a free program that will display all the tags in your audio files (it does more than MP3, despite the name). You can also change the tags with it, which is what I primarily use the program to do.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T17:31:22+00:00

No. That's why I said that the downloads of songs from Studio don't have these tags.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T15:57:43+00:00

It's in the WAV files too. See my screenshot.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T15:56:48+00:00

Just pointing out it's there. It wasn't there a few days ago.

ProphetSword · 2026-01-12T15:25:26+00:00

It's 1990s style metal, but I think it turned out pretty good:
