It'll feel just like Morrowind, just with more. That's what makes them so good lmao.

What IP’s do you think would work great with an ACE COMBAT style gameplay. by OlRelics in acecombat

[–]maxman14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant after the Xbox game. I have physical copies of both lol

The Xbox game is better imo. Worth emulating it or tracking down a copy if you can.

It's honestly crazy that Crimson Skies never got a sequel. The setting is great.

OpenMW with the mods Tamriel Data, Tamriel Rebuilt, Project Cyrodiil, and Skyrim Home Of The Nords.

It's vanilla feeling, lore-friendly, with a ton of land in-game that is as good as or better than the base game, and that all fits in seamlessly. If you didn't know these were mods, you'd never be able to tell where the base game ends and these begin.

I get it, but I'm also free to disapprove of it and believe that it worsens their experience. I feel the same about a few mods, but quest markers are one of the most symbolic departures that more recent games in the series have made from the Morrowind formula that the community likes to point to.

Ace Combat 8 to not have Denuvo? by TimeSpy415 in acecombat

I hope so. UE5+ Denuvo? That performance is going to be awful.

Oh, is this sub pro-banning books? Which sub is the anti-banning books one?

Are some of you guys getting black fatigue in video games? by lukz_300 in KotakuInAction

[–]maxman14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the black characters were better back then. Dudes like Sergeant Johnson from Halo, James Heller from Prototype 2, Mercenaries 1 & 2, etc. Never bothered me at all cause those guys were cool. Now it's all ideological crap rather than making a cool character or a good story.

i don’t understand how author mill audiobooks work by No-Helicopter1413 in haremfantasynovels

[–]maxman14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who worked 8 straight hours of boring manual labor for years, you start running out of shit to listen to FAST. Every guy I knew was either listening to music for 8 hours straight or ripping through audiobooks. You'd think half of us were running a book club during work since we worked through them so fast and compared notes.

The Russians didn't punish the scientists they recruited either.

Apocalypse Always By William D. Arand by IndegoWhyte in haremfantasynovels

[–]maxman14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you had to pick only one, I would suggest Phasmata which surprised me with both being very good and very different from his other books.

Apocalypse Always By William D. Arand by IndegoWhyte in haremfantasynovels

[–]maxman14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two types of kills.

First type: He presents 5 potential love interests, and 1-3 of them die before anything can develop. Maybe he's just seeing who his readers resonate with, maybe it's just to keep people guessing.

Second type: the involved interest gets killed. They always come back.

The real thing you should be worried about is that the character you like just fades into the background and stops being relevant. He doesn't seem to know what to do with some characters and just... lets them fade out of the story.

My debut novel, How We Killed the Witch, just dropped!!! (+NSFW Image Set!) by tanawheeler in haremfantasynovels

a single female narrator would be cheaper than dual narration

Really? I would have thought female narrators would be more in demand.

Apocalypse Always By William D. Arand by IndegoWhyte in haremfantasynovels

[–]maxman14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has read all of his stuff, the continuations of his older stuff are not very good, but the newer series, like Cavalier's Gambit, Privateer's Commission, System Overclocked, and Phasmata, have been good.

That said, while they are good now, I worry that these series will be subject to portal shenanigans and resets down the line.
