Hangout The Games Hangout Thread

It's from Owlcat the makers of two of the best CRPGs in years. Pathfinder Kingmaker and Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous. So there is good reason to be excited.

It's mainly the setting - 40k is not as exciting to me, compared with Fantasy

... that said, at least it isn't AoS

I know what you mean. Though I do like 40k a bit. In general I think it's safe to expect the sort of Baldur's Gate style CRPG. In that with Pathfinder they really just took the tabletop game and adapted it to a video game. Both Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous were adaptations of Pathfinder modules. With a bit of that Baldur's Gate/Dragon Age stuff mixed in. From a role playing perspective we can probably expect much the same treatment. Rogue Trader is a table top module as well, I believe.

Gameplay wise it seems like they're mixing a bit of X-Com in there with cover systems and all that but we'll find out soon. The beta is June 1st, so I'd imagine we'll have a lot more hard facts on it then as they're pretty open about letting people show that stuff. Or at least they did last time.

People don't seem to be happy about the Playstation Showcase.

There wasnt much of anything interesting to me. Nothing I went out to preorder.

And also a lot of stuff is still coming to PS4, so I probably wont get a PS5 yet.

Pretty in depth details about Rogue Trader from the beta.

For some reason, I do not like RPG games. The only ones I liked were Persona 5 and NI No Kuni. That's it. I used to like Final Fantasy when I was a kid, but not anymore.

No, I haven't gotten it yet ^^ But I am watching videos about it on ytb. I especially like the character interactions at the start of battle ^^ Honestly I think they broke a new record on how good a db game looks (never thought I'd see better character models than in fighter Z lol).

Nice! let me know what you think about the gameplay. Back to character models, check out Vegito :

very faithful to his manga appearance.

Also the lightning effect around SSJ2 (and above) is on point. The only let down so far is the Kamehameha; looks weak af.

I finally got to play Ghost of Tsushima. Played it in the black and white directors cut in Japanese sub and it might be the greatest gaming experience in my life.

 

[Sanity Check]

Hot.

Or not?

 

[Jammin]

Looks interesting, I'd say. Too soon to know more.

So, was gifted the new VtM Bloodlines 2 and have mixed views on it

Story is good so far (2h in, so not that far), with a wide variety of characters - but some I do find a tad obnoxious and tropey...

Graphics are good and the world looks nice. However, speaking of the world, it does feel a bit constrained and seems to be more an illusion of depth (with most buildings being little more than painted boxes)

Gameplay is passable, but really not anywhere as good as it should be tbh. And, most importantly, it doesn't feel like an RPG

Not sure what to think on it. I am enjoying, but wouldn't recommend anyone spending anywhere near full price on it... Worst thing, I say this not because it's buggy and might be fixed, but rather that I feel the game has fundamental issues that would stop me wanting to recommend

I think the thing that upsets me most is how far it is from VtM:B (the original). The game is incomparable. Not because it is a poorly executed version, but rather it isn't even the same style of game. The only things that the 2 share are the overall setting and the name
