Re: D&D Campaign 2: D&D Harder

If Jontu isn't too exasperated to watch, he'll see Opus tear out the first page and stuff it in his mouth as he leaves, chewing happily. :lol: I'm going to regret teaching Opus that eating books is the key to digesting the contents when we find a really important ancient tome at some point and he i...

https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/death-stranding-gets-surprise-xbox-release-on-fifth-anniversary-3810875 Always thought this was a PlayStation exclusive, only 20 quid as well. Probably won't like it but I'll give it a punt. It was on GamePass a while back, although it looks like it's not there ...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

Alien Romulus Hey, remember that classic scene from another alien you liked? What if we were to recreate that, that would make it great yeah? It has some good (sometimes very very silly) original ideas but the constant “remember when Riley stood like that? Isn’t she like Riley?” “Remember when Rile...

Right, downtime activities ahoy! Each player has their own section with a roll or response required - I've put them in spoiler tags just for space reasons, so feel free to read them all if you want.

Re: Dragon Age 4: The Veilguard - out October 31st

Yeah, that tallies with what I've read even from people who said they enjoyed the game overall. I expect I will probably pick it up, but on a steep discount. And as probably the first single-player Bioware game I've ever not bought on day 1 (basically everything other than Anthem), that feels quite ...

Re: Dragon Age 4: The Veilguard - out October 31st

Another video talking mainly about the writing - seems like fairly balanced criticism to me, overall he says the game is fine but the way dialogue is written (he doesn't get hung up on the actual content like a lot of people are doing) is starting to erode his will to continue: https://www.youtube.c...

Re: Dragon Age 4: The Veilguard - out October 31st

I think the lighter tone is in and of itself a problem honestly, for me at least, and comparing it to Pixar or MCU dialogue (which I've seen in a few places as well) is kinda a big red flag for me. I guess I get why they were trying to go for a broader appeal here, but I think the end result is some...

Re: Dragon Age 4: The Veilguard - out October 31st

I've only watched the first 10 minutes of this, but I think it's a good way of showing where the writing has gone wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3D8ZZtLSDE And one of the comments nailed it I think, by saying this isn't dialogue, it's exposition, which is why it's boring. And I think that's...

Re: Dragon Age 4: The Veilguard - out October 31st

Watched the Skill Up review...it sounds like a game made for kids. The character design is from Pixar, there's no confrontation or hard decisions to be made and the puzzles and combat are dumbed down as to not be too challenging. The fact that he turned down the difficulty just to get to the end of...

Re: Dragon Age 4: The Veilguard - out October 31st

I think she’s para-narrating Bertie’s EG review: https://www.eurogamer.net/dragon-age-the-veilguard-review I tend to gel with his opinion more than anyone else at EG, so this is a huge box-tick for me. On the other hand, I also tend to agree with MrMatty’s opinions on lots of RPGs, and he doesn’t a...
