I’ll never turn down sci fi. Devs have a good pedigree and hopefully this is enough to fill the Mass Effect hole, since ain’t no chance BioWare are going to.

Let’s go, always interested in what they’re doing. Hoping for another banger of a soundtrack too.

Lol with all the free labour they got. Super dodgy devs.

Sucks to hear about the bugs, was going to book time off to play this but may delay it a week or so. Looking forward to a first foray into 40k though.

@Mad001 We don’t even know the characters yet. How do you know the writing will be bad? Seems presumptuous, you can write a good satirical story about modern life.

Looks blooming awesome.

@Mephisto2869 Well if it was fine for you specifically, then I really don’t understand why people were whinging.

It’s years away, they need to stop with the unjustified hype. They’re going to set themselves up again, just quietly cook.

Bungie are absolutely awful. I tried D2 after Lightfall and got quite into it, but the more I learned about the game the more I realised how little they sometimes seem to care about their community, and how awful some of the monetisation schemes are and how many hoops I needed to jump through to experience the story.. Bones of a fabulous shooter with nonsense all over it.

@Jacko11 It’s a decent game but nowhere close to game of the year. Systems are fairly basic. If it didn’t have the Potter legacy, it would basically be a Greedfall.

One of the best soundtracks in video games too. Fit the themes and scenes perfectly. Still listen to it today.

Good looking out Khayl, this looks swish.

You have to wonder about where the industry is going if people have to do this in defiance of the devs. The industry is not right, and at some point the ridiculous money spent on game dev and monetisation is going to lead to a bust. We’re already seeing people being fired left and right because ***** games made no money. Even the good games can never seem to make “enough” money to satisfy them. Something has to give at some point.

I’m sure we’ll find some people who actually really enjoyed it and think we’re nitpicking.

Would just like to recommend No One Will Save You, a really great film.

Sounds like GTA 6 is going to be a wait-for-sale for me

@Mauzuri I much preferred DA2 to Inquisition. Gameplay was extremely tedious and I felt like I was playing a bad MMO. Story and characters were great but as someone who completed and collected everything, it was an absolute chore and I don’t think it was GOTY at all. I say that as a DA fan.

Phantom Liberty was great but I’m still going to be cautious with their next release.

In some ways I’d just like the IP to be passed around. Incredible potential but it’s with a studio that hasn’t shown it’s capable of fulfilling it anymore. We’re going to waste years waiting for mediocre DA and ME games, then wait years again before BioWare probably dissolves and someone else maybe picks them up.

Fair enough, quite intrigued by this. Would rather they nail it so we can have more CRPG studios out there.

Looool as if we’d get hyped for anything new BioWare puts out. Proof will be in the pudding, we have no reason whatsoever to think this is likely to be good given recent evidence.

Currently going through tactician. Think honour mode is doable but you’d have to fight encounters in a specific order unless you brought enough cheese.

Oh dear god, next they’ll have a real estate agent simulation just so they cover the bases for awful people.

Early access only? Reeks of a scam. Wonder how long it’ll be before something happens and they can’t fully release it.

Just give me Dino Crisis, please Capcom I beg you!

Looks kinda interesting. Will be curious to see how it reviews.

It’s a great point about socio-political infantilism, as a major part of propaganda is trivialising nuance. Appreciate how aware all parties seem to be and the risks they’ve taken, will defo check this out.

@gwyntendo Tbh I don’t think we’re missing much.

Will this get a mini-review? Looks interesting.

@homelesscretin Rogue Trader is coming out in December. I’m personally going to use that as a starting point for Warhammer, as it’s an RPG and should have lots of lore within it.

Looks pretty creative, may try this.

They need to decide whether they want to make a proper RPG and set expectations accordingly. If you’re going to give us an action adventure, that’s fine, but they need to not overpromise you’re going to be able to have huge amounts of choice and consequence. Personally hoping we get some kind of interaction with Morgan Blackhand. Maybe a mentor for the next merc?

Really need to unionise.

Would be such a very particular selection that number of good movies would probably be pretty low.

It really has become too familiar, to the point I block these releases from my mind because there’s nothing particularly interesting to them. Anime is hot fire though.

Looks rough but promising if it’s written well and systems work.

I dipped my Ranger into Cleric late and they have a lot of extra dialogue specific to their god, it’s crazy! All the classes have things going for them, can’t wait to start a new playthrough. Monk/Thief next for me.

Adore the anime, gives me life when I need it sometimes. Hope this does well just for that.

Very very hyped. Loved Wrath of the Righteous and feel like Owlcat are getting better and better with each game. We need 4-6 high quality CRPG studios to make sure we have something chunky to play on the regular. We won’t hear from Larian now for likely years, who knows what will happen with the Disco team, InXile are Xbox now etc.

Ah maaan. I’m really looking forward to this, but to be fair not like I can’t wait. Still 6 more BG3 playthroughs to go.

One to try out at some point, sounds like a solid effort. Good review.

It should be quite doable as people as saying Tactician isn’t as hard as previous games, and I’m currently going through DOS2 on Honour and Tactician and finding it quite pleasant barring a few scary my encounters. I’ll probably also do a few origin playthroughs so will defo try for this.

@Fiendish-Beaver That’s a great point! Hadn’t even thought of that, there could be some cool stuff they can still do.

Really appreciate the review! Looks like one to get when there’s nowt on backlog or if I’m craving this type of game.

@Fiendish-Beaver Would temper expectations for anything massive as they’ve said it would be too tricky to boost levelling, so they may have to get creative with little bits.

@Northern_munkey lack of physical is a bit annoying. The collector’s edition looked amazing though if you want lovely art, but probably a stretch if you’re just looking to try it out and not too into DnD.

Great deal for Midnight Suns, so much content and great gameplay for the price.

Will we get a review of this by chance? I do like my strategy RPGs.

That’s a shame, but looks like “not even on sale” experience.

I’d give it a chance if we could have more of a look at the gameplay loop. Will always give a narrative game a chance.

Always carry an explosive barrel or two, noted.
