without having a single military dwarf the entire time because you can’t be bothered to figure out the military menus/training when it’s not as much !!!FUN!!! as mechanical defense options (lava traps.)

Are you me? Lol


Wait, really? You have to choose to put the chip in your head for the game to continue? That’s literally as far as I got and I was like “yeah no fuck that, why would I put that in my brain”… I stopped playing shortly after so I never realized.


Yeah as the other user said, it’s the D&D backbone… I feel like that is the main thing that has prevented me from truly loving the game (and getting past Act 1). I kind of wish they wouldn’t have stuck so strictly to the D&D ruleset.

Maybe try Divinity: Original Sin 2? I’m pretty sure the combat in that one is not D&D based.


True… I’m currently playing Ghost of Yotei, and I imagine Sucker Punch would knock a game like that out of the park


They would complain, and it would be a self report… If you’re offended by a slave killing slaveowners, then you’re a piece of shit and nobody should fucking care what you think.


I literally got stuck in the first area of the new Indiana Jones game because I just couldn’t stop dropping my disguise so I could beat the shit out of Italian fascists.


Fucking wild that this is the state of things. That you have to be courageous to make a game with a black person as the main character.



It’s just so much better than Windows in every way.


It is amazing for gaming (particularly if you go with AMD over Nvidia). I’ve run into very few (if any) games that have outright not worked. Almost all games work with not tinkering whatsoever.

Checkout protondb.com and look up the games you’re wondering about.






Reviews on Steam are comparing this to Death Stranding in some ways… Does anyone know if that includes the asynchronous online stuff? Or are they just referring to the building infrastructure thing.




It is so fucking stupid, because games would be so insanely boring if every character interaction was between straight, white, cis-het men, and no female character could ever pass the Bechdal Test.

Just like with movies and TV shows, I enjoy a variety of games that cover the entirety of the human experience. Why the fuck would I want to limit that??



They could try not being black and from Africa

(Hopefully no /s needed but you can never be too sure these days)


I had no idea this game existed, and your description just piqued my interest, so it seems like they may be Streisanding this shit lol


Just as an alternate opinion, I found the actual card game itself, in Inscryption to be a bit shallow and bland. The most compelling part (of what I played, admittedly), was everything but the card game itself.

Your mileage may vary.

I will just say, if you’re expecting a deck builder card game like sts, you might be disappointed.

I’m not sure it’s the best rec for someone looking for another sts.


I guess… I found the card game itself to be kind of bland. However, I will say that I never finished the game, and without spoilers (I honestly don’t really know specifics) I understand things get… Different. So maybe it gets better


The key is ALWAYS (almost) paying for card removal at the shop. I plan the path I take by looking for the one that hits the most shops and always remove a card.


Hotline Miami has a banging soundtrack, including the main menu music


game about a Native American rebelling against a fascist corporation that took over Seattle. And then you remember they had Troy Baker voice said Native American and… yeah.

I might be having a brain fart, but which game is this?


Bummer… Guess I’ll pass too. Is there any way that I can let them know that I’m not buying it because they caved, not because of the original tweet?


Yes, real money is infinitely more trackable.

This isn’t even true, unless you’re specifically talking about coins like Monero.

If you think bitcoin is untraceable, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you



So would you consider a stable coin like USDC (fully backed by USD, and audited) to be “money” then?


The USD is backed only by the “full faith and credit of the United States government”. Nothing tangible whatsoever. It’s fiat.


Damages? Lost revenue?

I imagine the “we will send emails to people who wishlist your game, when it is released” thing was likely part of the contract they had with Steam.


For Trails games: not at all. Usually only cosmetic items like costumes, and then like item packs that give you x number of healing items or ingredients or whatever.



I think they’ve already announced that they’re remaking SC (Second Chapter). As the other commenter said, it’s more of a duology so I dunno if they’ll remake the third.


What Nihon Falcom accomplished with this game is unmatched. Trails in the Sky is, without question, the most expansive and intricate saga in JRPG history.

Alright, I don’t think this is true lol… Just an FYI, I’m generally defending you against the person here who apparantly really likes FF7 and really hates Trails games, but… Yeah I don’t think that’s “without question” at all. In fact, I myself am questioning it right now.


Some people are just fans of video games, dude. And get this, sometimes you’ll disagree because it’s all subjective.

Real weird, gatekeep-y argument here.


Is it not like FF7 because you don’t think the series is good enough to be mentioned alongside it? Or because it’s not about eco-terrorists and fascist corporations destroying the planet?


I’ve played Trails of Cold Steel I, II and part of III. I also tried starting the original Trails in the Sky two or three times, but it never stuck.

I picked up the remake yesterday, and only played for an hour or so, but it is gorgeous. There is a demo, I think. Might be worth trying out.
