This better not be like Dark Souls. As rpg's go, origins and the Dark Souls series were about as far apart as you could be.

I am superduper warened thank you. Also, I don't really care. My favorite game of the year so far is Divinity Original Sin, and while it's pretty in it's own way, it's no AAA major publisher game.

Gameplay+ story > graphics

Honestly though, the website thing they're doing is pretty good.

Don't think a game developer has ever put that much time and effort in a 'save game creator/editor'

How much you're decisions matter remains to be seen (different protagonist, different time period, partially different location, ...), but praise where it's due for the effort on the website thing!

Well, the AC series has always been (at least in part) about running around in beautiful and relatively historically correct cities.
The same game in a bland looking fictional city would absolutely not work (if 3 and 4 hadn't had boats, that would've been a criticism for me).

Unity is nextgen only, and as a pcgamer, it shows in their (hopefully massively overdone) min. specs. If that's how they're gonna port, I'm glad FC4 is on old consoles.

My pc has never run anything on lower than medium-high. Most of the times it's more like high-ultra. And now I don't even meet the minimum specs?

Isn't there supposed to be a period in which I can run things at medium- and then medium low first?

In reality you probably are, there's a reason why Bioware is venturing in this direction. Commenting sections are rarely a correct representation of reality though.

I hope it's origins with dragon age: origins combat. But I know it won't be that. You're probably going to be more pleased with the gameplay than I'll be.

With the blocking and dodging, the twitchy actionlovers will be happy. The game requiring me to do rolls is enough to make me choose a mage. At least the tactical cam is back.

Nope, I did indeed not know them. The trials are much more a part of the books than the games, and I do not remember all the lore from games are that are years old.

Now back in the olden yes, prostitution was a thriving business (There were more brothels then than fast food joints now) in the middle ages, but that does not mean that most women back then saw sex as a currency.

The point is, it would be nice if women in the game did not treat Gerald as if he w...

I just hope sex is handled a little more maturely (in the sense of more grownup). In TW2 women just dropped their pants as a way of saying thank you, as if Gerald had some weird pheromone thing going on.

They'll probably be able to explain it away with magic or something, but pregnancy never seems to be a worry, never mind an option. Are Witchers infertile? And immune to STD's?

If they want to be mature about sex they have to make it more meaningful ...

I don't get what you mean by character presentation confused for story?

4121d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

If there is anything you can be sure of, not every class is going to be dps. From what I've heard and seen, some characters in your party should really be focused on crowd control. Your tanks taunt and draw, your rogues trap and disappear and your mages protect through barriers or stun or freeze or set up combos.

There is a mouse and keyboard session up on twitch, and while it still is faster than Origins, it's an RPG allright. In the sense you mean RPG (tactical com...

Origins looked at least equally generic, but it remained a great game and a memorable experience.

@rhap pretends to be an RPG? It has meaningful choices that impact the story, choices in playstyle and character build, customization and crafting of armor and weapons, and the list goes on.

What more does a game need to not be 'pretending'. Just because you don't like gay chracters in your games doesn't make it any less of an RPG.

Well well, look at that, Ubi doing the right thing...
Praise when it's due.

Name one party-based rpg known for it's technical graphical prowess (so no, artstyle doesn't count).

So very limited regeneration (compared to Origins), and less healing options is what you consider more casual.

Is this opposite day?

Battle preparation vs simple heal spell spamming. From what I've seen there is a cap on how many potions you can carry. Strategy or spamming, it's a little more complicated than that. It might work, not saying it will, but it might.

But that's what makes it better. You really like some characters, and hate others, and then you have to make choices and bam: you're choiches have a different outcome than you expected and the likable character died.

When a game get's me invested in my choices like that, I'm a fan.

The show or the games or the comic books? Than the show or the books? These multimedials make everything so complicated.
