Ah hell yeah. That’s really the only change I wanted as a kid tbh

I hope they kept all the realy bad voice lines from the original. It was part of the charm

Wow that was one of my favorite parts about Oblivion. You could break it so easily

I had a wizard who was maxed out in basically ever skill except the magic skills so when I finally did the mages guild quest line I was face tanking everything

I was so over powered I started breaking the enchantment system bc I had done every important quest and could afford anything (100% chameleon was hilarious)

And let’s not forget that jumping off mountains to level up is clearly the best mechanic of all time

Maybe I’ll skip this one if they removed the good jank

Wages haven’t kept up with inflation so comparisons like this are only a small part of the picture

What’s with all the faces and being downvoted lol

“”“gamers”“” aren’t a monolith

Some people clearly care bc they are currently discussing it

I’m really starting to worry about steam. There aren’t any good alternatives that seem to be hitting mainstream. Not to mention every now and then the shop gets ever so slightly worse and more spammy looking. Steam was a god send when it first launched and I’d hate to see it become what it replaced

I love how broken and unbalanced the first game is. Looking forward to ragdolling from wild animals while my character freezes to death again

Wasn’t expecting much but pretty disappointed none-the-less

Like sure it might be an okay or even good game, but even on first impression it feels different. And when the first game was entirely about the tone and how it felt to be in the world that says a lot about where 2 is ending up

Ya, I hadn’t played it at the time of saying that. Was just going off the reviews. The game feels the same as it did in the beta. If anything they made some nice QOL changes with the color updates etc

It also has a 65% rating. We’ll see how much of the user base remains if they don’t revert the movement changes

People watch game awards?

Yeah wasn’t all of that to help fund their next secret project?

Wow. And in the same day they released the revamped version of ror 1

Let’s goooo

Yeah was gonna say the Nintendo hacking scene manages to support stuff like this all the time

For anyone who wants to get into this just know that A) it has aged VERY poorly. There are tons of aspects about the UX that are just terrible and frustrating. And B) it’s better with a group

But if you can get past all that then it’s really fun

What do you mean. This looks like the most amazing 2am game night waiting to happen

As much as I hate riot the show was pretty good. It had real potential to be amazing if they weren’t afraid to add more episodes to the first season (as is so often the case these days). But good nonetheless

Huh. Figured this happened years ago

Lots of fun! Got a little repetitive after about tens hours. Don’t regret the purchase

You don’t have to keep selling me on it. I already said you could have my money

If you could deliberately make a game that bad I would unironcally buy it

Yes

Personally I hate scaling in games. It makes leveling up feel pointless or even punishing. Nothing feels better than returning to the intro area as a god and nuking the npcs from orbit

And less rpg :(

History is filled with inventions too early for their time… Still kinda weird VR seems to have shown up like 6 times now and never sticks tho

Honestly I’m just shocked people still buy these games

Personally I don’t want to have to compensate for latency in a bullet hell game but glad other people will get what they want

Sure but they haven’t cared about the state of their games in ages. Iike I’m all for pushing to get them to fix it and all, but think it’s weird that people are surprised. Especially when the vast majority of their focus has been on steam for the last forever

This just sounds like the game

Pretty sure they haven’t been prioritizing their own games for a decade now

Didn’t you read the article. All of them got banned

That was cute

My biggest complaint with the first game is that the stat scaling made no fucking sense. It was more optimal to level a class other than the one you wanted to play and only then swap to the class you like after maxing out (in most cases). I hope they revamp how the progression works otherwise I’s be happy playing the exact same game

Right like reloading the save and trying again wasn’t the first thing I tired

Oh so my savefile that’s locked in a conversation with no ability to progress forward or exit the conversation is fine?

Honestly I kinda loved how bad it was

Looks like I can’t since they don’t officially support HDD anymore :)

So I actually tried it again last night.

My partner and I had finally gotten around to watching EdgeRunners and had heard that the game had improved quite a bit. Anyway so I have the thing install over dinner and sit down to play for a couple of hours before bed. I start a new game since you can’t just jump in after being away for months right. I load up a new character start doing the intro and instantly am reminded of why I disliked the game. The intro is incredibly rushed and all of your choices don’t matter. I bugged out in the middle of conversations at least 2 different times where I was unable to move my character and no dialogue was presented. The combat is boring and uninspired. My character would consistently load in T posing to areas. Characters would suddenly stop moving their mouths during conversations. And for a game meant to be open world the game was really really insitent that I play their dumb linear story that is absolutely fucking full of these damn trains-that-look-like-car-rides.

Idk guys I think it’s the same game with the same core design flaws. Sure it’s probably gotten a face lift but it sure as hell doesn’t play any different than it did a year ago
