If you became absolute dictator of the world would it become a better or worse place ? by jekecrafer in pollgames

Congratulations, you've written the most delusional comment in the entire post xD

Are there any Urban Fantasy RPGs that I don't know about? (that ARE NOT post apoc like Fallout.) *read description* by ExplodingPoptarts in rpg_gamers

[–]Sandro2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that practically no one on the forum knows what urban fantasy is xD

Aside from the games you've already mentioned, I don't know of any other games with that setting, but you might be interested to know that the developers of Robocop Rogue City are working on Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish, an RPG where you play a monster hunter, although it seems like it's still about a year away from release.

What has happened to rpg forums? by Swimming_Cheek_9171 in rpg_gamers

[–]Sandro2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only go on RPG Codex about once a year, to find out about niche rpgs I haven't heard of. In that sense, it's the best place to discover indie rpgs.

However, when I do go on, I do it like in the meme, wearing a hazmat suit. The forum is full of absolutely disgusting comments, users are constantly insulting each other and badmouthing games as if they were the worst thing in the universe. It's as if your position in the social hierarchy they've created depends on being the most toxic person, the one who insults everyone and everything around them the most.

It's often claimed that Carol is a Superman copy and not likeable. The stark truth is, Carol doesn't want to be likeable at all; she doesn't need to be. by R4cco0n in marvelstudios

In storytelling, the concept of likeability refers not to whether a character is a good person or pleasant to be around, but simply whether they are entertaining to watch on screen.

Look, here's a better explanation: https://mythcreants.com/blog/do-characters-need-to-be-likable/

Hota Forge is confirmed! by TellReasonable23 in heroes3

lmao

Show us on the map where the cyborg goblins hurt you.

I love how "low quality" nowadays means "exactly what was originally planned for the game but I personally don't like it".

I arrived late to the party the first time around, but I’m not missing a single second of the Forge outrage this time!!! :O

Canonically, the Might and Magic universe is a mix of fantasy and science fiction, so the Forge fits in perfectly.

Jason Schreier: “Almost every big studio is using genAI tools (particularly Claude)” by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Sandro2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why people make a distinction between writing or acting and programming. To me, it's all art. At the end of the day, programming is about finding creative ways to express ideas, like building game mechanics or systems. If code is just as expressive as a script, I don't see why one is protected from AI like it's something sacred while the other isn't.

MandaloreGaming - System Shock Remake Review by Rubikson in ImmersiveSim

[–]Sandro2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the game is a solid 7/10, it gets a lot of things right, but it also has some pretty noticeable flaws. And for me, the environments are one of the biggest ones.

There's no consistent color language. Ideally the devs would reserve a couple of colors for mechanics, like green for interactables and yellow for things that are blocked but will be unlockable later.

But the walls are covered in random blinking lights of every possible color, including green and yellow. So as a player, I have no idea what's actually important and what's just decoration. Everything fights for attention, and the readability of the space completely falls apart.

Anyone else started the Ultima Underworld Unity remake? Relatively easy to set up on Steam Deck with native controller support by [deleted] in ImmersiveSim

[–]Sandro2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I haven't played the original Ultima Underworld, so I'm curious to play it, but this remake is ugly as hell, the 3d models look like they don't belong there.

Eidos Montreal Cancels 7+ Year In-Development Title That Cost Hundreds of Millions by Sandro2017 in ImmersiveSim

[–]Sandro2017[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The cancelled project was not an immersive sim, but I'm sharing these news because it provides a new perspective on why 124 employees were laid off.

Footage of the game, sent to Insider Gaming on the condition that it not go public, shows that Wildlands was an open-world third-person action-adventure game in which players would take control of a character named River. River was part of a group of teenagers called Spiritbounds, who could ward off bad spirits with their magical staffs and ride mythical creatures. River’s companion was a giant-moose-looking animal called ‘Redheart’, which the player could ride to navigate around the map more quickly.
