I found Majuular earlier this year, and watch his videos to fall asleep to. The in-depthness of his videos are a treat, he’s got a voice that doesn’t get annoying to me, and he allows me to see older games in a new light. Highly recommend!
I see, and understand your points. The reason I enjoyed King’s Field/Shadow Tower/Souls was the exploration aspect, which Lunacid does really well.
I agree with the anime characters, for sure. It was very jarring to run into the girl the first time. I couldn’t help but feel like I was playing a different game all of the sudden!
What did the developer say to dislike them, again, if you don’t mind me asking?
Awh. As someone who played King’s Field through emulation, with “cheats” to give it modern controls, I loved Lunacid! I actually beat it 100% by following a guide online.
What did you not find to your liking, if you don’t mind me asking? :)
Definitely not, no. It was a high quality product to begin with, so mods weren’t as needed/wanted.
I’m glad you can play Fallout 4 without mods. I really just use mods that make the experience better than vanilla such as:
The AWFUL dialogue options they did for Fallout 4
The bad voice acting for my character
The lack of options for character creation
The lack of diversity between characters and the armor/guns they use
And any cool clothing/armor/weapon mods I would like to use or add to my companions
OH and changes to the AI for the companions and enemies to make them just a wee bit better than just standing there in the open like a fool
The Witcher 3 has had plenty of very good mods, though. And modding is so important to people that CDPR is releasing a whole ass modding kit, so…
Without mods, Bethesda’s games would not have been so consistently played since:
2011 for Skyrim’s FIRST release
2014 for Fallout 4’s FIRST release
Saying that mods aren’t important, is actually kind of weird. Without those mods keeping the games afloat through the internet ether, they would not be AS popular as they are today.
People STILL play Fallout 3 and New Vegas TO THIS DAY, because of mods that LITERALLY allow the game to be played as crash free as possible.
From that context, I would assume mods are pretty damn important for these games.
I mainly use the Deck to play retro titles, and use my desktop rig to play newer or more demanding games. It was worth every penny, thanks to being so easy to set up for the retro games!
In my opinion, the best way to ensure your game stays relevant for YEARS after its release is to incorporate mod support in any way, whether it be Steam mods, or something like Nexus mods. Both would be preferable, but anything is better than nothing.
How many people would still be playing Skyrim today if there were absolutely no mods allowed like some games?
How many would be playing GTA 5, or even RDR 2 without SOME kind of mods making it more enjoyable or completely different?
Just allow your games to be modded, and support mod development, and your game will go down in history, I am almost positive of.
Considering how much time and effort NexusMods has put into creating a very good website to host the mods, AND a very good mod manager (not the first iteration, that was really bad) to download and install the mods, I have nothing but respect for them. Granted, I bought a lifetime from them, because I had been using the site since I was a child learning what modding even was. Now, when I tell me friends about how easy it is to grab a Collection, and it installs everything the way it needs to be so you can just get to gaming, I love them even more. Getting people to try modding their games was frustrating as hell before because not everyone spent their entire adolescent free time on the computer trying to install mods that were never going to be playable because you were too young to understand why your computer was not powerful enough to run it!
Hi! The art direction is definitely one of the top selling points. The gameplay is the top, art direction second, story is third. That is my opinion at least, as the story kind of shoehorned you into choices I didn’t want to make, but I understand it is not my story. It is the story of Jin that I have a little wiggle room to change up slightly.
For anyone not wanting to play 76, and to try Fallout 3/New Vegas for the first time, or for a different run, I HIGHLY encourage you to get the Tale of Two Wastelands mod. Once set up (I got ALL the optional mods that they have a link to or something) you will have a better experience than vanilla Fallout 3, and more cohesion between the gameplay of FO3 and NV.
JESUS CHRIST at the amount of suckers talking about MTX being okay in this game because “yOu CaN eArN tHe ItEmS iNgAmE” are missing the point!
Good lord, what happened to being in an uproar about horse armor DLC? I miss those days!
If you add 20+ items of “DLC” into a singleplayer game THE FIRST DAY, you deserve for your company to go belly up. Full stop.
God, yes! I see updates like this and just go, “Cool, moving on” because I have no idea what it does, and if you’re trying to get me to adopt your cool thing, I’m going to need more then what appears to be some random strings of words. 😅
There’s also Paralives in the works too! I hope they all succeed so they can make EA start sweating before they release a very obviously worse Sims 5. 🙏
“Ah, yes. I am developer of game, and I promise it’s fun to play! You’ll have so much fun! Please play our game, my paycheck depends on it!”
I agree with you on some of your points. The interface (with a controller) is only ever annoying as all hell when I’m trying to look for an item that a puzzle needs. I have a strong character with buffs to carry more weight and after awhile the plethora of items in my inventory are just overwhelming. That’s my fault for being a hoarder, not the game per se. lol The same happened in the Witcher, and can happen in games like Oblivion/Skyrim. I guess what constitutes an amazing RPG game to me is that it respects my choices whether good or bad, makes me face the consequences good or bad, let’s me play the way I want to unless absolutely necessary to keep me in line with what needs to be done to progress, and to let my imagination run wild while letting me experiment with different ideas or plans. I guess with all that said, I take RPG games pretty seriously as in I will legitimately place myself into the game both visually (if I can with the tools provided) and especially morally. “What would I really do in this situation?” Type of player.
Exactly. The same critics they are desperately waiting for their approval are the same ones who will give a trash and micro transaction bloated piece of shit game over a 90, but then a well developed and labor of love below a 90 because the better game was indie and didn’t pay them for the review.
It is one the best games in its respective genre. I only play RPGs and this game has easily toppled Witcher, Elder Scrolls, and other games like Pillars of Eternity and so on.
It’s not your type of game, it seems. Not that it isn’t one of the best RPGs in it’s class.
Would’ve been more if they didn’t drop the ball so badly!
