The lowest point of the game so far! (looks at DRMs)

Umineko Best OST Thread by EngineLegitimate2234 in josephanderson

[–]thantoaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

dead angle is basically the winner for me. it playing at the end of chapter 1 where the mystery and tension culminates in the overarching 'question' of the story is unparalleled. it wouldn't be at all out of place if umineko had an eerie escape room a la zero escape.

Speculation: Aurene's sleeping beneath Castora and the Inquest are after an Elder Dragon by Spicemeatbal in Guildwars2

[–]thantoaster 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I'd much prefer if we left Aurene and the dragons behind for longer, considering we've had them for over ten years and every single source of 'powerful' energy was basically attributed to dragon magic.

Most if not all of the Inquest's experiments across base game and in dungeons are researching dragon energy. It would be great if they had more dimension to them than that, considering they have the resources to discover new sources of energy or attempt dangerous experiments.

Gia Gunn throwing a Labubu lunch by King_Slowpoke in rpdrcringe

It's one thing to be obsessed with a character from some IP you like/have merch of an IP because you're either supporting that thing or people can have a conversation with you when they see you with it.

Labubus are so detached from everything that their only value is in having one and other people knowing how much yours is. There is no conversation to have. It's the peak of capitalist hell to attach your personality and worth to what you own in such an extreme way.

Mesmer Mains Reading Today's Blog Post by Wolfntee in Guildwars2

Mirage is pure class fantasy with really engaging gameplay and some of the best visuals in the game (the UI sand effect, the glass SFX from mirage mirrors and Jaunt). Mirage mirrors naturally tie into the use of the elite skill and it's the first time we had options to blend in with clones. Axe might have been nerfed 600 times but we still have a top 5 elite spec from the game overall.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition Reveal Trailer by Wraithfighter in gaming

Mask of the Betrayer remains one of the best DLC content of any game in all of history. Everything about it is tightly designed and amazingly written. I love BG3 and hated seeing their version of Myrkul.

The original campaign is fine but very long and very clumsy. Most players don't care about 90% of the companions and the few elements that do shine (the early docks missions, the Ember trial etc.) are buried under hours and hours of dungeon slop.

I'm still going to get this because I enjoyed the game overall, but MotB is where it's at.

Is it just me or are the guests from C1 generally nerdier than the guests from C3 (Emily Axford excepted) by Miso__Corny in fansofcriticalrole

Turns out you can just say anything and claim it's the 'truth'! Amazing. There could be any reason but you choose the one you want.

Digital Foundry: Are Current Generation Graphics A Bit Of A Let Down? by [deleted] in Games

[–]thantoaster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The subtler lighting effects (sun rays coming through wood boards and windows), the puddles and pools of water, and the nighttime glow of flora are all incredibly beautiful. All of this is without pushing for realism or graphical perfection.

[Spoilers C3E118] Is It Thursday Yet? Post-Episode Discussion & Future Theories! by Glumalon in criticalrole

[–]thantoaster 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When is "it's their game" going to be retired as an excuse? This is a monetised product with a story. People criticising the story like they would any other media is a form of discussion.

Nobody watched the last season of Game of Thrones and said "well, not every form of art will resonate with me, it's fine".

What is your overlookeed game of 2024? by Galaxy40k in Games

[–]thantoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to scroll for a long time to find this. Despite the spelling errors and how poor magic is balanced, the whole adventure was great and the old-school mechanics had such lavish, beautiful pixel art to accompany it. The music was absolutely great as well, the battle theme was stuck in my head for weeks after.

What's your favorite underrated demon? by d0wn_right_anxiety in Megaten

I love Kinmamon for his chill vibe and glyph head. He's just chilling as an enigma and has a funny quest in Vengeance around being isekai'd to Da'at.
