Yeah, and Ryu Ga Gotoku turn-based system is fun, Shin Megami Tensei core series as well (albeit it is probably now the niche series). OSII was even better than Baldur's gate 3 and more complex. Into the Breach and XCom 1 and 2, Wasteland games etc. are also very good. Age of Wonders 4 and Planetfall. Darkest Dungeon. Man, the list just goes on and on.
I think the turn-based system is alive and well, it just gets strange news articles written about it for no reason.

I'm okay if my comment is aging badly. It's just an opinion and it is not important for me to be right. I would actually be happy to be proven wrong just like with the latest Zelda game (which I'm playing right now happily!), but I just have not been a fan of Bethesda's largest games. They are empty busywork.
I have nothing against Xbox brand, I'd like them to succeed because more competition is better for creativity and essentiall...
Having checked out thousands of movies and game trailers, and reading thousands of reviews, and played hundreds of games in nearly four decades, I think it is quite easy to see which games are really good based on the materials shown before release.
Starfield has nothing that catches my eye, it looks extremely mundane, plain and boring. It may have its moments here and there, but I predict it has nothing that No Man's Sky cannot make you feel. That being said, I was wro...
I don't need a loud steamdeck with an inferior and smaller LCD panel and local hardware that can't play Baldur's Gate III at steady 40hz. I just want a large OLED for streaming with playstation grade controllers, and use 5G on the go and at home wifi 6. Something that looks good and can stream and display 1080p 120hz.
Local hardware could be doable if there's Strix Point at the very least in it, but the battery life of for example Rog Ally is 50 minutes when...
HDR in PC gaming is still in shambles, Windows 11 didn't change anything. PS5 and Xbox are not that much better either, albeit PS4 started out well with Horizon Zero Dawn.
Every single game takes a lot of tuning to get it right because there is no standard on how to do it well, and each and every panel has very different presets to begin with. Plus, the HDR implementation itself can vary a lot. In some cases, the image quality becomes worse than SDR. For example, a game...
What an idiot.
If this was 99 USD, might purchase it. Or if it was 300 USD and had 120hz OLED screen and this could be used with Steam as well as PS5, I'd buy it.
And how much was that phone again?
I wonder if it is worth starting over. I played maybe 8hrs on 6900xt 5600x PC 1.5 years ago, and now have 4090 and 5800X3D, and could go the path tracing route with this new patch. I don't remember much of the story, except there were two interesting story sequences, but they are kind of hazy in my mind even after 18 months. Maybe it's worth it to start all over and with a new rig as well.
Oh come on! If you had only one eye open and were half-asleep reading gaming news of PC launches and Console launches in the last 24 months, you'd still know exactly which games. There have been so many news, youtube videos and analysis about bugs and bad launches and the state of launching games buggy and unfinished.
Going to be a tough competition between BG3 and Zelda this year. Was not sure if Zelda would be as good as it is, but just having played it a bit past the first area, I think it is a very, very solid game. BGIII feels like OSIII but in BG and D&D form, which makes it more refreshing. Many great games left to be experience this year, the backlog is building up!
I agree, Alan Wake 2 is coming out at a very tough time when the time and money of players will be divided between this juggernaut games. They should find a better spot and put some money into advertisement as well and smash it out of the park when there's a quiet month in the next 6-9 months. That will give them time to do extra polish which will also benefit the game reception and sales.
It's also on PS4, so a stable 30fps on low/medium settings experience can be achieved at 1080p using FSR/DLSS Quality modes on GTX1060/2060. It is a From Software game, so I would expect a choppy experience and a patch of two within 2 months and then they won't touch it and move on to new projects.
Bloodborne is the medicine to Bloodborne, not a lower quality copy cat alternative.
That's an easy question to answer: ACVI and ER Expansion! A full new game? Spellbound!
It's a complete package. Instead, I'd love to dive back in the world of Original Sin in six years.
The games were always really bad in my book. They are such a surreal mix of trying to be realistic and then at the same time murdering dozens if not hundreds of people. I just didn't like a system where you just get forgotten for what you did just like that, no matter what you did nobody would chase you if you stay a couple of minutes under a bridge where nobody can find you. I know I know it's not supposed to be realistic, but it's the realistic parts that irk me. Sure, some of t...
Have never bought any games that have microtransactions. I only buy complete games such as Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate III or Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart (albeit all of them were buggy, but at least they were complete).
Basically, I never buy anything from EA, Ubisoft or Activision Blizzard.
To me, gaming is as far as it can be from any predatory practises there can be. It's about delving into a world where I can relax, have fun or be excited aft...
Yup, and what you described means that it really is a mess still. Hope they fix it, there's a fantastic game under all that technical hurdle!
If you have too many games to play, just skip the too difficult for you ones, and let us who enjoy them have access to them. To me, Demon's Souls (original) Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring and Sekiro are more accessible than say an easy game with plenty of tutorials and guides and whatever busy work they make you do.
