Re: Larian Studios Still Cooking the Ability to Change Baldur's Gate 3 Character Appearance

@RedRiot193 You’re just adding to what I’ve said. I said they released a 3/10 game. I didn’t say it still was. The point is that they broke trust gave gamers explicitly good reason to not have as much faith or goodwill. I never said they didn’t fix it, just that the changed perception of CDPrRD was anything but bipolar.
They’ve done a fair bit to some trust and goodwill back, but they how was loss of it bi-polar? That’s what the entire point here lies on.

@RedRiot193 It’s a valid point that CDProject Red wasn’t the gaming community being bi-polar. If they hadn’t released a 3/10 game that wouldn’t have happened.
Maybe we shouldn’t have hyped them up so much, but, that’s a different criticism to saying they got turned on after going from a 10/10 to a 3/10 at this publication, and number of others too. I don’t think that’s ever happened before TBH as well.
Now how is that “hating” exactly?

Re: PS5 Release of Baldur's Gate 3 Will Mirror the PC Version at Launch and Beyond

Jaz007

You know, I wonder if waiting a month will be a blessing depending on the number of fixes. I understand that Original Sin 2 got so many updates that said "requires a new game" in a 100+ hour game like anyone who played before the update had time for that. If they change or fix anything with stuff you're stuck with the entire game, I'll be very glad for the months wait. I hope they don't do that again though.
This will be the most unreplayable but most replayable game ever made.

Re: Round Up: Baldur's Gate 3 Reviews Suggest It's One of the Best RPGs Ever Made

Jaz007

Having regular cinematics and a proper DnD combat system are exciting me a lot. This sounds like it won't be as hard and time consuming as D:OS2's combat, which is a great game, but combat takes a long time and many tries. It also helps that I already know the rules.
The one down side of looking things up though, is that from EA there's whole bunch of wrong info out there.

Re: Will There Be a Twisted Metal Season 2? No Idea, Says Showrunner

Jaz007

I’d rather we try again and get a team that can actually take the story of Twisted Metal instead of replacing it with a generic one since they don’t know what do with the story given to them.
I guess good for the people who like, but Twisted Metal 2 has a special place in my heart and I’m a bit of a purist with it. And I think it had more potential than the premise given.

Re: Poll: Is Twisted Metal's TV Show a Win or a Write-Off?

Jaz007

I can’t get past how generic they made the premise because they didn’t know how to actually utilize the concept of Twisted Metal. I’m glad it’s not a total disaster, but it to be lacking is basic creativity and it needed to be more than a silly romp. Twisted Metal is actually known, especially after black, to have some interesting story. Yes, comedy is important to TM, but so is the dark story of it.

Re: TV Show Review: Twisted Metal - Car Crash Entertainment

Jaz007

This sounds terrible. It’s a weird TM fan fiction. Sony needs to be careful with its IPs. The moment this didn’t have Calypso running a tournament it should have been canned. It could have been new, instead it’s a generic pair apocalyptic story that steered clear of doing something more interesting because the show writers didn’t have the talent for it and they knew it.

Re: The FTC Officially Files an Appeal Against Microsoft-Activision Court Victory

@GamingFan4Lyf If it get blocked, I personally say it’s worth it and it is the gov is doing its job. And if not, the problem is less the waste, and more the basic failure to perform its gov.
COD staying on PS is also not a fact. Not at all. There is a lot reason from history to assume COD will be gone after 10 years, which means MS is just lying through its teeth.

Re: Larian Studios Gets TikTok Ban for Bear-Form Druid Sex Scene in Baldur's Gate 3

Jaz007

@Kylekgh Sex and violence are completely different and provoke entirely different reactions. There's a reason we allow kids to take a martial arts class, but not a be sexy class. We play violence with kids all the time. We do not with the other one.
Scary is also very much the wrong word. Disliking plain degeneracy does not mean sex is scary.

Also, it's not giving as many choices as possible. Romance doesn't mean sex, but if you want to romance this druid, it means a bear sex scene. That's giving no agency in the romance and denying my ability to choose. It would be giving as many choices without this scene.

@MikeOrator In general, I like romance options, and I don't want graphic sexual scenes and whatnot shoved my way because I chose romance (which doesn't equal sex).
DnD pen and paper has a persuasion skill. Obviously that's not immoral. Can someone turn DnD into immoral smut? Yes, and many DnD horror stories happen because someone wanted to turn the game into smut. In actual DnD, that's almost always a ticket to disaster.

Re: New PS Store Essential Picks Sale Has 1,400 PS5, PS4 Game Discounts

Jaz007

@Wheatly There's a fair amount of truth to this. Diablo 3 for example is on sale for $20 as it is half the time if not more if feels like. The game's actual price is obviously $20, but by keeping it at $60 they can put it on sale while never actually discounting it from the normal $20. It's also roughly $20ish at Gamestop and Amazon too.

@awaltzforvenus Hold up, don’t do Gameloft dirty like that. They made quality and fun “clones” that provided something not already there on the platform. I would love to have some paid gameloft games again, or at least the old ones available on new phones.
They made better iPhone games than pretty much everyone else does today.

Re: Comprehensive Baldur's Gate 3 Playthroughs Set to Last 200 Hours

Jaz007

@kyleforrester87 It’s honestly a mess on PC too. DnD is meant to be played turn based, one person at a time. I really don’t understand people who defends the awkward rigging of the DnD rules for real time with pause. I play actual DnD too.
I mean let’s be real. In OG BG, combat was clearly as afterthought.

Re: Mini Review: Synapse (PSVR2) – Some Incredible Gameplay But Not Enough Content

Jaz007

@Spanky84 The small sweet spot is barley noticable if at all most of the time.
the cable doesn't get in the way of standing up either, I only play standing up unless the game needs sitting down (Gran Turismo would be an example of something I'd play sitting down). It's a very simple plug and play.
I also think playing on max brightness works just fine.
I also hold a different opinion on the rings, they make for a much better controller than quest has to offer. I can let of the PSVR2 controller go and it won't fall it'll stay right there. I don't have to worry about my grip. If I let go of a quest controller, it's just gone.

Re: C-Smash VRS (PSVR2) - Squashed Potential

Jaz007

I've tried the demo a few times, a few months after the PSVR2 launched, but could never find a match. I don't if the matchmaking is bad, or it's dead, but it just seems like a bad deal for an online game. I get the chicken and the egg, but the demo doesn't give any eggs and that's a problem.
