I should play Skyrim again.

The issues sound patchable to a layman like myself. Embrace patient gaming and enjoy in a month or so.

You heard what he said. Fred.

True other games have had that, but it really wasn’t a goal for Elden Ring and I don’t think it really hinders it. The immersion into a real world was clearly a tentpole design decision for Rockstar in RDR2, but not Fromsoft. Which is fine for you to miss in Elden Ring, I just think we gotta manage expectations sometimes where not every game can have every thing.

I’m glad they’re showing more extended sections of gameplay. I was worried after the last few trailers featured mainly quick cuts between cutscenes and seemingly canned animations. This is shaping up to be promising despite the somewhat worrisome delays.

Maybe! I don’t think there’s a right answer until hindsight shows us how the game does. I can also imagine it has a lot to do with what the folks holding the money think will sell better, a sequel to a poorly received game, or a (potentially) lower risk remake?

The Bioware we knew and loved has been gone a long time. DA2 was hardly Bioware, let alone Inquisition.

To me it’s kinda the perfect game to remake (hopefully it IS remade and not just rereleased) because it had a lot of potential that it just did not live up to. A graphics and content pack would not improve the game much at all, because the let down was the gameplay and mechanics. If they can re-tool that, they may have a solid game here.

The Runaway Jury

Just leave already then, it’s fine.

I haven’t read the Primarch series myself, but one thing you have to bear in mind is that these are different authors writing the same characters, often years apart. It’s not always going to jive perfectly.

Magnus is interesting to me because for the most part he is an unwilling participant on the side of chaos. He submitted himself to servitude because he was cast aside by the “good” guys, and the ruinous powers were the only thing that could save his Sons. My theory is that he did this to bide time and maybe find a better solution one day, but for now he’s stuck being the goodest bad guy, so to speak.

Also worth remembering that the primarchs are flaaaawwwed individuals whose actions don’t always make sense (blame the quality of writing on that one if you want.) I don’t really like Russ because he’s kind of a big dumb hypocrite concerning psykers, but at the same time he would go to the ends of the earth for his legion.

That’s a very black and white way to look at the world but you do you.

Makes sense to be on that site, since a lot of Lemmy users are probably interested at least in part due to the FOSS nature of it. Maybe it doesn’t need to be phrased as a “warning” though, more just as an FYI. Seems like it could scare people away thinking it’s a data harvesting tool, but such is life.

I think it’s just a matter of trends and design theory. For a long time you couldn’t escape the orange/blue combo like in the Battlefield series artwork. Plus I don’t think all these titles really released at the “same” time.
