cut content mod adds so much and by today’s videogame standards (just opt out of robot factory planet!!) the shitty looking last level is completely normal

ok yes GREAT RPG PILLARS OF ETERNITY could have not tried to be baldurs gate as much in some aspects and wasteland 2 is so weird and over complicated that its good actually as well. you can set your entire parties individual cigarette preferences in character creation! im surprised more people dont like it since your choices actually have consequences which is what im told makes crpgs good

also dragon age 2 was good despite its shamefully short development time. Thank you

the thing is that Pillars of Eternity 2 and Wasteland 3 along with other contemporaries were actually way way better because people had remembered how to make RPGs by then… it was just that first wave of revival projects that were pretty overrated and mediocre

today in dumb world news that happens to intersect with gaming news

“We have run the site independently of Calvin for several years now in the hopes that we would not have to lose the hard work we have poured into it, the access we have worked hard for, and the relationships we have developed,” God Is A Geek’s editorial team wrote. “However, it has become increasingly clear that we can no longer separate the site from the owner. As a result, the entire editorial team will be stepping down with immediate effect. We will create a new site and our future content will be published there, bereft of any connection to Calvin Robinson. It will be hard to start again, hard to walk away from the work we’ve done here off our own backs, but this is the right thing to do.”

i only knew about “God is a Geek” because they are aggregated on metacritic. didn’t know the site owner was a weird gamergater christian nazi, but could have guessed.

To be a little fair, even GG Aleste had some proto Moe Blob going, so this isn’t shocking.

I would turn mine on to play Panzer Dragoon Orta and the Otogis…but I think xbx emulation has at least caught up to Microsoft’s official attempts by now

i couldn’t get panzer dragoon orta to run on emu past the first stage when i tried a few years ago… it’s great on xss but otogi randomly crashes on mine which is unacceptable especially bc last i checked it still had severe issues on emu and original discs are rare and expensive

Otogi didn’t work in emulation for me either.

I think I’ve gotten moderately far in Orta in emulation once.
