Subnautica legitimately made me stop and stare at my screen with mouth agape at the wonder and terror of a glowing undersea behemoth. I’ve never had a game provoke pure awe like it does.

“Watch the Irishman Suffer” is practically it’s own genre of Star Trek episode. Chief O’Brien needs a break, he’s just a regular dude who has witnessed his own death too many times.

Why is everyone acting like Dragon Age: Origins is the only fantasy RPG that ever existed? Baldur’s Gate 3 is the next step in a long legacy of genre defining games.

You can’t actually get the true ending on your first playthrough. You have to do the neutral ending first.

It is a wonderful little game!

Wolfheart seems like a nice guy, he’s put out tons of great content leading up to release.

I’ve only played a couple hours so far but I’m enjoying the game a lot! It seems like every conversation has at least one unique dialogue option based on your race or class picks, which is awesome. The companions I’ve met so far seem fairly interesting.

The entirety of Spiritfarer, really.

It feels like game development timelines are so long these days that there’s very few games per hardware generation. I look back at the PS2’s library (to be fair, it was enormous even for its own time) and everything on the Switch feels tiny in comparison.

Also, even if the “new Nintendo Switch(i)” or whatever is backwards compatible, the rise of digital sales means I can’t play my switch games on the new console anyway.

I’m just tired of having to buy new crap.

I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I really love Dragon Age: Inquisition. It has huge flaws, yes. Chiefly having way too much generic filler sidequesting.

Do note that you’ll need the DLC to get the most important part of the story. (Thanks EA.)

To be fair, I am not the model series fan. I gave up on Origins in the 12 hours of identical dungeon corridors underneath the dwarf city. Never played DA2. Love KotOR, Jade Empire (still holds up surprisingly well!), and Mass Effect, though.

I’m here for the Disco Elysium memes. Kim must be protected at all costs.

Hey, I’ll have you know that after 1,000 hours of Total War, I have finished a whole campaign twice.

It’s funny to read this after the chess buttplug drama, which is basically the sams thing all over again.

I’m so excited for BG3! I’m already over-planning my first character’s backstory.

I love FFXVI, and I understand the pacing and sidequest criticisms. I’m nearing the final boss battle, and let me tell you, the pacing gets worse as the game goes on.

The sidequests feel like all the budget was funneled towards the huge setpiece moments (which are cool), and then everything else was tacked on as an afterthought. They’re just so flat and boring. I do recognize the need for quiet moments in between the huge bombastic scenes, and sidequests sort of do that in the beginning, but they just drag. On. So. Long.

It’s hard to understand when there’s 5 high-octane boss battles in a row in between two 4-hour fetch quest sessions.

I do really enjoy the story and characters overall, though I have some criticisms here, too. (Like Jill being relegated to “useless damsel”.) I enjoy the reflection of the slavery themes in both the beginning and end of the game, the fact that the characters want to overthrow oppressive systems for the good of all (and are allowed to! Refreshing!), the dark tone, the political focus. I find Clive an incredibly endearing protagonist. I think the deciding factor for if you enjoy the game is whether or not you like the story, since it’s what holds everything together.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming out in two weeks (on PC, a month later on console) and has this!

Final Fantasy is a lot like Zelda in that a particular person’s favorite is going to be the one they played when they were 12 years old. Depending on the age of the recommender, you are most likely to get 4, 6, or 7 as an answer.

Personally, my favorite is FF10.

Ok, I’m starting a new cryptocurrency, then, it’s a Google Sheets page.
