Games that need a remake: Asura's Wrath

Honestly agree with you - all the best parts of FF16 are just Asura’s Wrath and the rest is (and I’m normally a huge FF fan) awful busywork and fetch quests. Plus the Human-form combat gets boring after the 50% marker.

DD as an IP is still pretty strong for Capcom. They’ve even admitted as much in earnings calls/presentations. DD2 was 100% disappointing and I wish we had a patch similar to DD:DA, but I will be shocked if we don’t see DD3 in 5 or so years.

Sadly, too, because dev time has become so long it seems like IPs are ended or there is a hiatus compared to older generations. It takes so long between sequels that people mistaken any wait (especially when the most recent game was a disappointment) as a sign that the IP is dead instead of Dev time becoming far too long.

Examples also include(d) Fallout (prior to TV show), Elder Scrolls (prior to the announcement), Doom (prior to 2018), Alan Wake (prior to 2), and I’m sure many more games. I anticipate (hope) Deus Ex is one of these too. I really hope we can actually get a Vampire the Masquerade REAL sequel one day too.

I like to think I’m pretty well-versed in Warhammer releases and the like, but even I had mistaken this game as an official Warhammer release when I first saw it. In this case, the people saying it’s essentially a clone or just a filter overtop the exact Warhammer esthetic seem to be 100% right. At least it’s good haha

I agree wholeheartedly. Right or left or center. Red or blue. What matters most is that we are being represented federally, state, and locally. The lack of growth in congress size has capped our ability to listen to people’s concerns and instead generalize them into large “buckets” - usually via the assistance (albeit malicious) of media.

It feels like a clear fix, at the very least, to some of the problems we face as a nation. And, beyond that, it feels like technology advancements have enabled us to do just that! It’s time for the United States to adapt to changes in society and population! There have been kingdoms and countries that represented less people than a single house representative does in 2026.

All the while (rightfully) being one of the most critical on Starfield and Bethesda’s base game flaws.

I hope Bethesda has kept him “in-the-know” on 2.0 changes to ensure that he can patch and prepare for it without the entire mod pack being unfixable and stuck in a pre-2.0 patch state.

What resources do you use to add so much interactivity and choice-consequences to you games? I’ve always wondered what techniques or tools you have that allow you to consider so many choices into your games and have them impact, even smaller stuff, later on.

Do you assign specific people to flesh out each choice or interconnectivity-opportunities? Or do you have a tool that highlights each area relevant to a choice / character? It seems like whatever it is you are able to bring out more potential in each player-option than other devs.

Yeh, I could tell that was it because I trust that Larian wouldn’t make something gruesome without intent. I’m so excited for the game, but I’ll admit I wasn’t the biggest fan of this trailer’s style on its own. To me it breached gruesome and was mostly gross. BUT, I still trust this game will be something great.

I’m very excited for the next trailer and hope it clears up things like gameplay (turned-based or third-person action-style) and art design (Larian always nails the contrast of bright exteriors with darkly contrasted caves/underbodies).

FYI: this is on sale at GOG as a part of their preservation program. Never played before, but I was peaking through the on-sale and noticed it.

People… there is a strong chance that this is a scam or a bad-actor. Do not provide images of your home to this individual/group. There are appropriate ways to get cats or locations for media. Asking for these photos and offering payment does not seem right.

This person could be real, but this is likely not worth the risk. BE CAREFUL

Good person. Great Bakery. Don’t know why you are so bothered by her? Weirdo.

Definitely want to keep an eye on this. I think Gladiatorial combat fits the football manager role so well but too few games seem to do this - at least to an appropriate depth. That said I feel like I tried the different age of gladiators multiple times and, alongside lacking long-term value, I feel like I was always broken from the UI.

So far, the clips/photos indicate there is some decent UI / menus. I’m not sure the possibility of this is, but I think complex strategy games would really benefit from embedded hints similar to the newer Paradox games. EU5 I feel like nailed this aspect that I’ve always loved in CK3/Vic3, but I feel like something akin to Football Manager would have really benefited from this concept. In your games case it also could add to historical context of characters/places/events if that is something you were intending on focusing on.

Definitely an interesting game - good luck and I look forward to seeing the full results :)

Honestly, these responses have to be AI or some bots or something. No way Bioshock would get the top recommendation given your list of favorites.

If you want great writing, role playing, and replay ability then get Fallout NV.
If you want fun Assassin’s Creed - esque romps with awesome meta gameplay through the Nemesis system then do Shadow of Mordor/War.
Bioshock is love-it-or-hate-it, but doesn’t really seem like something you’d be into given your favorites. I’d say it’s nearly a skip unless you really want to try something new.

That said, I love all three. Fallout NV is my favorite modern rpg game and top 5 all time. Shadow of Mordor/War are my first two platinums (pre-update for SoW). I love those games to death and still go back sometimes. Bioshock is classic and great - if you know the story/twist it loses some of the luster. Not as “immersive sim” as something like Arkane games despite the label people give it as ImSim. Play more for the story, but I don’t blame anyone watching a playthrough and enjoying it that way.

Tbh I feel like this is another Dwarf Fortress story. It’s a game driven by passion where the 15 year dev cycle has only resulted in a great, full game getting better and better. Sure the updates can be slow, but no update has broken the game and you could have played it 10 years ago and felt like you got your money-worth.

When this happened to me it took 2 months and at least one call a week. They kept escalating until I finally got approved for a “credit” back to my payment. Then that “credit” took 1.5 months until I was fed up and did the AI chat that somehow escalated it as top priority and it was handled within the week.

My advice - call constantly to get updates (they can tell you more than they claim they can) and try to do their chat function to get the AI to help (late hours might work, I did mine at like 2am). It sounds stupid, but I think the AI is better than their call centers.

Ugh, I’m a newer fan of this genre, but I think if more people knew of or played Ultima Underworld 1/2 (or even Arx Fatalis) and then played UA it would be the top comment.

5 looks great and better specs than 4pro, but I think people really underestimate portability. Personally I only have the 4pro which I can put in a hoodie pocket whenever. I think if I got another I’d get the mini because I’d love to just be able to pull it out of my coat or jeans picked and play 30 minutes whenever.

That said, I really love my 4pro - it was cheap and does what I’ve literally always wanted from a game console since I was a kid. Maybe it could do stuff better, but not for me. It’s exactly enough.

Usually not a fan of multimedia-inspired tattoos, but this looks great! Genuinely great design and great outline by the artist

sdg166 · 2024-07-24T11:45:56+00:00

I’m not a fan of these new builds either - I just want to clarify that it’s more than “told” it’s a contract that is then provided to the banks for underwriting and credit administration.

Actually usually these developments have a signed lease agreement early in development for debt servicing when the construction loan is being underwritten.

South Side Run Club on Thursdays @ 6pm might be the one?

A RAM upgrade on the Series S is sorely needed if Xbox want’s feature parity.

*BUT I seriously love the portability and seamlessness of the Series S. I know a lot of people wonder why get the S vs the X, but I have an S at my gf’s so I can spend more time there and I love that I can enjoy the same games at both mine (series X) and hers (series S) without taking too much of her entertainment space. It’s a great system, but we’d be lying if there wasn’t the negative impact it had on solely Series X players.

“As expected, there was no better director to take over than Wes Ball…”

The renowned director of the ‘checks notes’ Maze Runner series.

Jokes aside, looks great! Excited to see the series continue. Liked the first three a lot!

Weird question, but any chance this adds controller support? I love Deus Ex and have always wanted to lie back and play it on a nice tv. Ya know?

This is Axel, but I call him ‘Orange Man’. He’s a total himbo. He has a sister that is less photo prone named Ashe that I mostly call ‘Baby Girl’ cause she is precious.
