Finished the game. I think they did a good job of introducing a universe that has tons of lore and a pretty different morality than ours in a good way. Gameplay wise it’s not near as polished as Baldur’s Gate 3 was. Combat becomes trivialized towards the end of the game. The last act could have been way better. It was a bit empty and felt rushed. All and all a rough stone but worth it.
One small thing that kind of showcases the polishing it needs. During the game you’re getting items that you exchange for reputation. It doesn’t tell you this but right before the finale if you’ve maxed out your reputation with the different factions they give you an item. But it doesn’t tell you when the finale is happening, you just click the next dialog option and it happens. But after that you’re told that it’s going to be a long trip and you better exchange your items for provisions. Simply swapping the order of those events would solve so much.
Do you have any recommendations for a good Warhammer game for someone to play who isn’t initiated to the series? I’ve always wanted to get into Warhammer, but don’t know a good place to start.
The consensus seems to be that Rogue Trader is a good start and for me it worked. I went in not knowing anything about the lore.
The real spine of the lore are the books and the table top games, the video games have been licensed out kind of slap dashedly so any video game really is going to be just a touch point.
Rogue Trader does the Crusader King thing though were the dialog has links that when you click on them takes you to an encyclopedia that explains a bit about the topic, so it’s a good way to learn at a slower pace without being dropped into something.
I finished Metal Gear Solid for the first time. On the one hand, I can see why it’s a landmark game. On the other hand, it’s a bit of a chore to play today because of the clunky controls. And I’ll be damned if I can follow the plot. I think I understood more of it than Solid Snake did, though.
Anyone here play Dungeons of Infinity? It’s basically a Link to the Past roguelike that he built without any of the underlying code from the original game, but it plays exactly like Link to the Past.
I’d say it lacks a little depth but it’s challenging enough to have some replay value.
I bought the collection that includes 2 and 3, so I will play those at some point. But will probably play some other things first. Just started Journey, which is supposed to be short.
