2021 Backlog Thread

Yes. No surprise, Microsoft bought InXile before Wasteland 3 was released and, as I understand it, dumped some money into the project.

Graven looks like Heretic/Hexen

That looks like a ton of fun to me. I really like the atmosphere and old school vibe. Thanks for posting.

Star Citizen Development Discussion (Is Derek Smart Right?)

Yup. It's definitely CIG's "get out of jail free" card. I don't think they'll ever give up that card. The money will run out first and they'll just fade into the black with a "we spent all the money as best we could....what you have is what you get". I'm fine with that.....as long as I get...

Star Citizen Development Discussion (Is Derek Smart Right?)

I agree. Because I don't think CIG ever intend to "release" Star Citizen in a way most gamers think of "release". I their minds, it's already released, and continues to be expanded and improved (?) each patch.

I enjoyed that video. Thanks for posting. It's a pretty accurate and balanced take on the project.

Cyberpunk 2077

It was supposed to offer some of the most advanced AI programming ever seen in a video game. I think that tech got cut to push out a faster release (not a statement of fact, this is my opinion based on what I've seen and read).

GOG 2020 results summary

Does GoG automatically update games? I don't think they do, but I could be wrong. This is why I stick with Steam....I like the fact that the games are automatically the latest release version and I don't have to worry about that stuff.

Poll: do you change your gaming control scheme?

I just play. Configuring controls seems too much like work. Same reason I don't install mods. I have limited free time. I just want to spend it playing. But sometimes I'm forced to turn down mouse or axis sensitivity because it's too unbearable.

Star Citizen Development Discussion (Is Derek Smart Right?)

Well my point there is....hollywood cast should be able to at least voice act. I'm playing Witcher 3 right now. Just started. Just had a conversation with the Emyr and....holy sh*t that's Tywen Lannister from GoT! I mean, it's not much, but it's a distinctive, recognizable voice and I was...

Star Citizen Development Discussion (Is Derek Smart Right?)

Yes, there's enough there to make a decent dogfighter. They have overhauled the flight model several times and from what I can tell, it's generally accept to be enjoyable. There's always conflict between the desires of sim players and casual players. I think CIG actually found a decent middle...

Star Citizen Development Discussion (Is Derek Smart Right?)

There has been progress. But it's painfully minimal and (in my opinion) not in the areas in most need. They've added a lot of art assets....tools, weapons, and....ships. Lots of ships. And a few locations. But the Stanton system (something that was supposed to be finished many many years...

2021 Backlog Thread

That's awesome! I haven't really looked into any ranged weapon builds before. I'm guessing those rings required some farming? Thanks for sharing!

2021 Backlog Thread

It's a game well worth playing. But the learning curve for both game play mechanics and story is pretty steep. Like I mentioned previously, that first hour or two is tough. Keep in mind that (as @GodisanAtheist mentions above) you are heavily encouraged to play the game as a turn-based...

2021 Backlog Thread

I finished Transistor and the recursion (second playthrough) in 12 hours. Now I'm working on finishing the "tests" and should be done with those today. I'll say this about Transistor. The first hour, I hated it. It was so boring and I just couldn't get into it. But after that first hour, I...

That build sounds awesome! If you have a chance, I'd love to see a GrimTools link to your build. The depth of that game is amazing. So many different ways you can approach things.
