People don’t typically do dragons well in general tbh. Even when dragons are secondary to the plot, opting for wyverns the no-armed beasts and calling them dragons. It sort of hurts me inside.

But I agree I want more genuine dragons in my media.

(Side note, I haven’t read the OP as to not spoil myself so for all I know OP could be arguing the same thing so sorry for the redundant point if that’s the case.)

The time of the LLMs is upon us. Settle in everyone, it’s going to be a very bumpy ride.

I don’t believe you.

Thanks.

Also oh my god that’s a lot of stuff, they really should start charging for these updates because this is like DLC level stuff.

The real reason why they dedicated so much time and effort into making ER one of the best RPGs this decade… To elevate their beloved AC. Truly a noble pursuit.

More Blasphemous, more good. At least from what I’ve heard.

Gotta fluff it up for the masses I suppose.

Wonder if it’s going to have DLC that’s half the price of the game. 🙄

What’s new in this update?

Whelp, it looks like I’m going to be CPU bottlenecked.

So, I tried the demo for this when they first showcased it, and I love DON’T NOD a lot, but I just couldn’t get behind this one. Honestly the gameplay was tedious but you get the sense that it’s done like that on purpose, it’s suppose to feel like a goal when you reach the top of whatever you were climbing. Typically to make up for that kind of flow in games, they make the story very rewarding for the player, and I don’t know if it was just me but I just couldn’t bring myself to care about the world I was exploring. When I found notes they didn’t illicit any sort of emotions out of me they just kind of felt like, hey you found a thing good job, enjoy reading about how this person made some soup or something. I dunno, I really wanted to like it from the aesthetic to the vibe, but I just couldn’t. Anyone else kind of feel that way too, or am I crazy?

You sound like you need a hug. Is everything okay in your personal life? I’m here to talk if you need it.

To be fair, OG PSO2 was really good as far as MMOs go.

That’s not entirely true, I like GOG. But I will say that a big part of why I dislike the use of so many launchers is because 98% of my game library already exists on steam. Publishers would like to use the storefront analogy but I think that gamers look at it more like moving house, and no one likes to move house.

Also you have to consider that a lot of modern day PC gamers grew up with consoles where there are no launchers there is just the home page and the games.

That’s not to touch on the much more prevalent and important topics like privacy concerns and the like.

Your experience is valid but for someone like me who works most days, I gotta take my game time when I can so I usually play for 6-8 hours a day a few times a week and towards the end of my sessions there is a pretty noticeable drop in frames I got from a solid 60 to about 30-40 frames, some days it’s really unplayable.

Look, I was enjoying the game a lot, but these articles are getting a little out of hand. I don’t think this game is as huge a triumph as journalists might have you believe.

Yes the gaming landscape is filled with MTX heavy live-services but as much as BG3 is a complete product it’s not as if we don’t still get games like that just look at the other releases in 2023 it started off with freakin’ Hi-Fi Rush.

And for all it’s successes BG3 still has major faults. It preforms terribly after only a few hours of play to what I can only imagine is a memory leak issue but performance issues aside there are mechanical problems that are baked into the core of the game so…

I dunno, I’m glad that the game is finding success and I’m glad that people are enjoying it but it’s just a bit much, I mean Bombrush Cyberfunk just came out and I’ve heard nothing on that game from these outlets.

It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction…

I said it one Reddit and I’ll say it here.

All I want out of Hi-Fi Rush now is a sequel, an adult animated series, and a Hibiki snap-back. And maybe some figures of the cast. Hi-Fi Rush was a damn good game, it’d be a shame if we didn’t get more out of it.

The Twisted Metal TV show was a success?

Web3 usually means NFTs. So yeah, you’re reading it right.
