Kevin Wilson Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Crimson Desert will probably end up like Lords of the Fallen, Forspoken, Immortals of Aveum, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and Biomutant to me - games that looked ok pre-launch, then looked kinda cliché and go on my "to play" list once they are under $30 but then I'll forget about them and never play them. I love open world ARPGs/FPSs but so many come out I just can't play them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 Yesterday Bioware lays off 50 people but claims Dragon Age: Dreadwolf and Mass Effect 4 won't be effected Today - DA: Dreadwolf has had its release window delayed until at least Summer 2024 and it will probably be longer Oh and they are apparently yanking people off of ME4 to work on the game Grr.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 If you would have told me the day after I finished Mass Effect 3 everything that has happened with Bioware, I really would have liked the ending a lot more. Because that ending sucked, but it's not even close to how much everything else has sucked since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's INCREDIBLY chunky and that's either why you'll enjoy it or it will be a massive turn off. But considering it's constantly on sale for like $5 or less at this point I actually had a ton of fun with it and easily got my money's worth.

I played Lords of the Fallen, it was... ok, some fun moments. I meant Lords of the Fallen in my list, which also looks ok but I just don't think I have room in my backlog for it at the moment. But I'll keep an eye on it in case it gets good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Reviews are out for Sea of Stars, which I think drops/unlocks today. GX gave it a glowing review. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I know its unrealistic to expect the gaming world to cater to my personal needs but coming out the same week as Starfield guarantees I won't be getting to Sea of Stars (or anything else) for at least three to four weeks. But I'm still excited to play it, its totally "my shit" from looking at early reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I liked the demo but I also know that's there's no point in starting it this week, between potential NMS expedition and Starfield on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only get 24 hours in a day, I can't dedicate my life to all of these games at once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take me months to beat Starfield because OCD will compel me to try to find everything. I know I won't get to Sea of Stars, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, or BG3 until sometime next year.

I would imagine the talk of the real game starting after you complete the main story is going to kill you then. My friend's dad had a game of Civ 2 going...on the SNES...for like 15 years. 15 actual years! It's the only game he played on the SNES. I can't even begin to imagine what you could even do on the SNES version of that game for that long. I would imagine it probably wasn't just the same run that whole time because inevitably someone would have to win, but then there are those stories out there about how someone had Civ 4 or 5 in an endgame state for actual years where it was just a totally war torn world and no one side could actually get enough of an advantage to actually win. And then it finally ended. That might be Starfield for me if it pans out like I hope it does. BG3, Armored Core 6, Helldivers 2, and Tears of the Kingdom are just going to become my change of pace games that I'll never finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not realize that there is an elephant form of Mario now that looks uncanningly like a German kid's cartoon character (that was created in the 1970s).

dragonzombie Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Lot of new gimmicks and effects for Super Mario Bros Wonder, one of the effects is Zelda inspired like the topdown wall effect. ttps://youtu.be/krFz8Scwkkg?si=n-ypoG2p5Cvstf9o The storing item system returns from Super Mario World, with a badge the crouching double jump returns from Super Mario USA. https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros._Wonder Yoshies and Nabbit can't transform, but they also take no damage. All of the Yoshies have the flutter jump. Yoshi can also ride Yoshi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
