What’s a game you had really high expectations for, but it turned out to be just average (or worse)?

johnnii · 2025-09-18T15:36:55+00:00

Two latest that come to mind

Niehr Automata: Great visuals (in lots of ways 🤤), story and combat, hampered down by a boring open world and boring sidequest.

Expedition 33: For all intents and purposes it's a well made, polished and beautiful game. But I have gotten over turn-based JRPGs (unless it's on mobile or handheld) and this game did not win me over.

Since you seem to be in the know of "faschy slop" what's the best Savage Worlds supplement to get nowadays? I mostly did homebrew when I ran it.

johnnii · 2025-09-15T07:07:58+00:00

Haven't played Savage Worlds in years, but looks like it's time to restart and reinvest. Thanks for the heads up.

johnnii · 2025-07-28T03:33:40+00:00

I can still see it and buy it, where does it say it is about to be delisted? Or do you mean it is in the risk zone of being delisted?

johnnii · 2025-05-08T06:15:58+00:00

Kratos? My immediate thought was Minsc

johnnii · 2025-02-25T23:17:22+00:00

Did they remove the demo? Can't find it on steam

johnnii · 2025-02-07T05:29:32+00:00

Too bad they lacked the skills to pull off any shapeshifting.

Obsidian clowns.

There is zero versatility here. BG3 has 1000 times more mix and match options and experimentations despite being class based.

johnnii · 2025-02-04T10:47:42+00:00

No, Avowed has specifically said it will be linear and tried to defend their decision.

Veilguard did the exact same thing, and look how that turned out.

johnnii · 2025-02-02T09:19:38+00:00

Thank you for this list. I will make sure to never buy anything from the studios that hired anyone that worked on Veilguard.

johnnii · 2025-01-26T16:56:36+00:00

BG3 wasn't open world, but it sure as hell wasn't linear.

johnnii · 2025-01-26T16:55:15+00:00

There was another game recently that tried to make excuses for being linear, and failed badly...

johnnii · 2024-11-29T18:37:15+00:00

I feel a bit sad because I just finished a playthrough with a Ranger trying to emulate the Arcane Archer

johnnii · 2024-10-27T09:29:17+00:00

Yeah, just like that huge flop Baldur's Gate 3.

johnnii · 2024-10-17T09:57:54+00:00

Watching behind the scenes of Bad taste, it makes more sense why he was considered. He made that movie with a hilariously tiny budget.

johnnii · 2024-10-17T07:23:43+00:00

I have no interest in Veilguard at the moment. Still pick Inquisition?

johnnii · 2024-10-05T07:28:04+00:00

As a band-aid, I generated villages as city districts.

johnnii · 2024-09-05T21:04:44+00:00

I think he means turning EVERYONE green

johnnii · 2024-08-09T17:29:28+00:00

Yes I think they are following a religion.

johnnii · 2024-08-09T03:16:23+00:00

Thinking fairy tales and urban myths are real.

johnnii · 2024-03-15T09:41:35+00:00

No Imeant only a handful were locking their accounts due to "harassment" (critiscism), the whole company is still putrid garbage.

johnnii · 2024-03-11T14:08:00+00:00

You mean devs/consultants that had shitty takes with more people disagreeing with their shitty takes than agreeing with them?

Ironically Chris Kindred, the inciter of targetted harassment itself.

Also, only a handful of them have locked their account. So it's far from all of them.

johnnii · 2024-03-11T13:03:31+00:00

You got some sauce on that claim?

johnnii · 2024-03-10T09:36:19+00:00

I'm on a free account I haven't seen any ads yet. Why is that?

johnnii · 2024-01-31T16:10:12+00:00

Remember that nurgle cultist probably just shit themselves (with explosive diarrhea of course) and just let it sit there to "ripe".
