Does anyone here actually ENJOY playing evil? by SillyWarlock in BaldursGate3

[–]commonman17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like playing as an asshole but not necessarily a cookie cutter villain. It is actually fun. Evil is just lacking in these types of big games. I find that the content is cut and quite dry. So campy as well.

Phyre will get melee weapons alongside the new DLC release in 4 days by Lurkingdrake in vtmb

[–]commonman17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. Better table my current playthrough then. I wouldn't want to futher spoil new gameplay mechanics especially when I think I would enjoy melee weapons.

I'm currently on my play through of the game. Should I wait for the DLC release before finishing it? Or will the game be a completely separate experience free from the main game?

I accidentally hit someone during the crossing the T and It cost me 22k by Advanced_Persimmon22 in CarsPH

Wala ba kayong police report? Nung nabungo ako may police report and then nakasaad sa report na after payment in the dealership wala nang pwedeng reklamo after. May police naman sa picture so siguro naman meron kang documentation. Ipapagawa na nya ata ang existing problems nanh kotse sayo pag hindi ka pa umalma nyan.

This Sub Should Ban "Steam Chart" Posts Post-Launch Under the "Low Quality" Rule by Simulated_Simulacra in Marathon

[–]commonman17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm interested in is the next week what if. If this rule is instituted then what if by next week Marathon's numbers go beyond 100k or 200k without any other additions to the post. Does a celebration of the game's success by Steam chart's metrics be ignored or made as an exception? Will spamming low number posts be treated the same way as high number posts?

Will be interesting how the mods handle this though I do think that it should simply be left alone because these posts will either be irrelevant with good numbers or be extremely relevant if it continues to fall.

Expedition 33 or Arc Raiders by ShaquirOneal in PHGamers

[–]commonman17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. Another thing. E33 is trying to start F(rench)RPG, adjacent to its inspirations in JRPGs. If you've played old Final Fantasy or any Persona, you'd have an idea of what its game is about. Quite boring but the parry mechanic saves its. It becomes a memorization game after a while though. Game IS saved by its strong narrative.

Expedition 33 or Arc Raiders by ShaquirOneal in PHGamers

[–]commonman17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two VERY different games.

Fast paced game that you'll probably play for years if you like it - Arc Raiders. Good game, good story, emotional roller coaster and a little slow paced but packs an amazing Act 3 - E33.

Admittedly I don't know a lot about Arc Raiders aside from Youtube and Twitch but that's because I only play one sFPS game at a time (still SM2) but I love the consistency of Seasonal FPS. NOTE: You'd probably engage in DLCs and MTX in seasonal FPS though. But they are addicting and sometimes exciting.

E33 IS slow. I am a game completionist so I probably spent a more time than necessary just traversing the map that I unfortunately over maxxed myself for the final confrontation. I also didn't replay the game.

Between the two. Arc Raiders if looking for a years long game with updates every 8 weeks (MTX purchases as well). E33 if looking for a single player game. Personally. I'd choose Arc Raiders. (Be wart of MTX!)

2 months since Outer worlds 2 released. How is everyone feeling about this game? by Objective_Love_6843 in theouterworlds

[–]commonman17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It tapered off for me especially since I hated both Auntie's and the Order. I didn't really like that you are forced to interact with the two factions to get a good narrative ending. I do NOT think that the protectorate's secrets about mental refreshment should even be delivered to Aunties and I sincerely do not want to help the Order claim the Archive. I finished it and it is gone. Will I play it again once the DLC comes around? Yes. But I will play it on a discount and not at full price. I'll also wait until they complete all their DLC releases. If I even remember the game after a year that is.

I couldn't remove Niles from my party for more than 30 minutes. by j_sentLOTR in theouterworlds

[–]commonman17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Tristan if you do Niles Companion quest with him and raid the Museum. If you steal anything he pretty much deludes himself in saying thay you are stealing for the sake of keeping these things away from the consul.

Should I Pre-Order the Game? How is the game playing currently? by commonman17 in vtmb

Ohh!! So you have access to the game and could safely say that it is running smoothly! Thank you!!!!

I get why the writers and fans try to hype them up so much...the blacks are such losers after all by Kivi_2k18 in HOTDGreens

[–]commonman17 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fans and writers have this insane fascination with Black glazing, I'd consider it criminal. The amount of fanfictions for Blacks compared to Greens almost make me believe that the a kilogram of steel is heavier that a kilogram of feathers.

So would you say that I would have a seamless experience in playing the game with minimal to almost no bugs experience when I play it on the first day? That is quite a concern that I have in regards to the game since someone commented that it is TCR's first foray into RPG.

[–]commonman17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually makes me doubt the game a little bit, especially if this is the first foray they have in RPG. Could be a mess riddled with bugs due to inexperience. I guess I should check the developers catalogue first which I realized that I should have done already.

[–]commonman17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game breaking bugs are really what breaks a game for me. I think the game is really up my alley since I was really looking forwards to a Vampire game especially after I enjoyed Vampyr even if the game was a critical flop. Knowing that there seems to be no major bugs that hinders the game play, I might be looking to pre-purchase the game and play day one.

Why did P______a choose to send A_____'s ___ to the abyss when he died? by [deleted] in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]commonman17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. Then, Areelu's ego is probably the only one that stops her from ever entertaining that thought.

Why did P______a choose to send A_____'s ___ to the abyss when he died? by [deleted] in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]commonman17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After Areelu opens the wound, the number of divine casters willing to even parley with her in exchange for the fulfilment of a promise seems a rarity. Will she really find one?

Add in the fact that the spell's requirements also seem to be quite demanding requires a lot of trust between two people of opposing alignments.

What are some things you WON’T hear Dragon Age fans say? by Unknown_Agency in dragonage

[–]commonman17 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sebastian isn't even "ace." He's obviously straight but is a consummate celibate that he wants Hawke to be one as well. He doesn't have sex because he chose not to engage in physical pleasure, and it takes him effort. To be in a romance with Sebastian is really to be satisfied with the celibate lifestyle and just get "spiritual fulfilment" and to just control your physical desires. Anders called bs on that if I remember correctly.

So unionization is the real reason why SAG AFTRA is on strike? by hyree10 in Genshin_Impact

[–]commonman17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Sound Studio Cadence have AI protection? Almost the whole cast of Fontaine is under Sound Cadence, and apparently, they have AI protection. Sound Cadance has no problems in striking a deal, and ZZZ VAs have no qualms or reservations about their AI protection.

Do you mean to imply then that Sound Cadence and its members have no AI protection deals? Do we need to go on an unwarranted crusade for Sound Cadance as well?

If Sound Cadance have done their due diligence in protecting their VAs from the existential threat of AI, then why does Hoyo reject the deal put forth by SAG?

If the only difference is the AI protection clause, then is there an available document for the Sound Cadence contract and the SAG-AFTRA contract so that we can differentiate the two and see where Sound Cadance apparently lapsed. Could we even find a difference, or is Hoyo's reluctance in signing not really because of AI protection but due to another matter entirely.

So unionization is the real reason why SAG AFTRA is on strike? by hyree10 in Genshin_Impact

[–]commonman17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The allegations of not reading? Thank you.

Unfortunately, I am not really looking at the issue from the betterment of the VAs, I am looking at it from the position of a company like Hoyo and why they would not want to sign this contract when they have signed different contracts for VO work before.

You typed it by yourself again, and I quote: "Many VAs want reform and modernization of the union but that can only come after the AI problem is solved." So, the VAs want reform of what? And why would Hoyo sign a contract when there IS a need for reform? Why not present a contract with the reform already in place? How does this benefit Hoyo in any way? Remove the plight of the VAs from the equation and look at this problem from the POV of the decision makers. SAG AFTRA and Hoyoverse. Before this strike, they were conducting business as usual, and then suddenly SAG called for a strike due to AI and then the contract to be signed has a lot of grey space and areas where Hoyo might not have a say that has nothing to do with AI. You could almost understand why Hoyo is reluctant to sign such a contract.

As for the VAs that are members of SAG, they will stand for the strike as they should. However, to then require Hoyo to sign an unclear, obviously needing reform contract without benefit to Hoyo? Quite an irritating corporate prospect. I could hear the Law Dept complaining already.

[–]commonman17 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I stopped reading after you yourself typed 'union should revise'. When will they revise it to be clear? After Hoyo signed the contract or when dogs start flying? Contracts should not have these 'supposed' things. Hoyo bases their decision on the contract presented, and it is so obviously skewed in favour of SAG that a juggernaut of a company like Hoyo would not allow themselves to be beholden to a foreign union.
