I already knew this was all nonsense once you said "invisible scale, but as a social phenomenon"

It was never invisible. You had a bar on a menu that literally showed you. You also contradicted yourself because as you said, there was a visual representation with either looking more evil with horns or angelic with a halo.

You already had reputation with npcs in the past, that's why you had gifting. Kids and marriage were also already a thing. Same with being a landlord, king and whatever. The npcs already reacted to you in the games of past. They're simply adding more reactions in the reboot. Which is fine, but having your character look demonic was great. Same with the Will system.

The main issue is they're doing what Mass Effect did. They removed Paragon and Renagade. They removed Good and Evil visual representation because it's easier to make vague or gray choices.

Instead of good and evil, its like YouTube, like or dislike. Which in my opinion is terrible and lazy design.

2 hours is easy to hit when you're either trying to make an attractive character in a sea of ugly blobs OR testing out what it can do and what it can't.

Like making a horrible monster is all a test of the character creation screen.

If I'm going to be playing and looking at this character for 60+ hours, you bet I want to make them worth looking at. (Or laughing at)

BDO is king on this list with Dragons Dogma 2 being second.

However, the fact that Starfield is here and listed as "better customization than Cyberpunk 2077" is absolutely false and absurd. If anything it has a big standard series of choices with the same wiggles and toggles but packed under a terrible menu and UI. It's as if you said Hogwarts Legacy had better customization than Cyberpunk 2077, which again, it does not.

Pretty sure its a bug.

There is one listing games to release in like 1969 or some other odd year that had already past. But it lists them as not released yet.

This is most likely something along those lines. So I'm not holding my breath.

HOWEVER, Todd did say he wanted to so another shadow drop, like Oblivion Remastered.

What wins of Assassin's creed Shadows? The weather? You mean the same weather found in Skull and Bones as well as AC 3?

So, we will have Sunny, Dark, Cloudy and Rainy? How is this a win? We already HAD this stuff in the original, albeit not as good as what we can do now. But it looked fine for the time. And like you said, the setting is in a climate that's always warm/hot.

I also cannot believe we have people writing articles defending asset reuse from their AAAA game.

If this was Jan 2025, this article would make sense but its 2026 and those lifetime sales are terrible.

It gets like 2.5k players a day at max. 14 months ago they had 18k. It's been consistently low player numbers.

For an overwhelmingly positive game, this is the first time I've ever heard of it. To me it looks like a worse terraria.

I'm pretty sure I played the demo and while it was good visually, the story and yapping wasn't all that interesting.

The game is more like a watered down hades than it is vampire survivors. Most of the builds didn't outlast a cookie cutter meta of just healing through the swarms. But that was just the demo.

I feel like this game was just a Hades clone, personally. But it never hit the ground running. Never felt like anything i was using was good enough to care about. Never felt like the story was worth all the downtime.

I of course will check out the full game but wont have my hopes up high for it.

Also, stop linking to more of your own damn pages and give the steam page link if you actually care about showcasing the game.

The battlemage set is a terrible set to suggest for early mages.

The Spellslinger set is MUCH easier to build for and get. More damage = ends combat faster = spec into regen out of combat = easy fights.

Another two things that will help make the entire game easier for you are, Winter's Crone Wrath, found at that abondoned stronghold (among other areas) and the Wand of Piercing cold. Together this combo allows you to insta-freeze your attackers. It's always good to have incase you need a moment to breathe.

Soulstone Survivor should've come close as it has an insane amount of progression and characters/skills. But you just cant beat the OG that started it all.

After that, Halls of Torment, Death must die, Spell Brigade, Twilight Survivors, 12 Minutes to Midnight, and of course, Megabonk are all good games with their own strengths.

This new game just seems like a copy of palworld to me. Not that I mind, really. Might give Palworld a reason to keep improving on combat.

Still, I'll try it out if I have time and its on steam.

Christabella you're always welcome to your opinion, even if it is bad. Same as me.

However, that massive wall of gibberish you called an opinion is by definition, rambling. It is simply not succinct and doesn't get to the point. You also say some contradictory things in there that I dont think you notice so I won't bother to explain. Another commentor also took care of that.

I also dont understand this grade 5 level "if you dont like it, dont read it" response. How would someone know if they like your comment without reading it first? Like, this just doesnt make any logical sense.

You put Starfield on this list as Fallout in space? It isnt. Fallout always has something to do and something going on. Starfield does not. It's not open world, its instanced chunks of maps with tons of loading screens. But fine, if you call this open world then where are all the others?

You put Dragons Dogma 1 on here instead of Dragons Dogma 2? Why?! The second game is MUCH, much better for newcomers of the series to get into it. It also plays better and you dont need to have played the first game.

How did Avowed make this list?

The Oblivion Remastered should be here instead. Avowed was a shallow disappointment that forgot what their own teaser trailer looked like. They also forgot that combat is more than magic, since the skill trees hardly has anything worthwhile for melee.

Why isn't Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon on here? That game has more players on Steam than Avowed and is a much better game to recommend.

Why isn't Outer Worlds 2 on here?

Why isnt Dragon Age inquisition on here? Or Sleeping Dogs? Starwar Jedi Survivor? Horizon Zero Dawn? Witch fire? Red Dead Redemption 2? Enshrouded? Monster Hunter? Dying light?

Where Winds Meet, Warframe, and other such notable games could be on here as well.

This list just names mainstream popular games as if everyone doesnt already know them but somehow still misses quite a lot of good recommendations for games like Avowed and Starfield.

I'm all for more Skyrim-like games. After Avowed was such a disappointment I picked up Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon and its been a blast.

Cant wait to know more about this new game.

Wouldn't the fact that it has subtitles on release be accessibility being taken seriously?

It seems people have forgotten how it used to be. We used to wait months if not years before we get animes in just subs. Dubs take even longer. We have now gotten it commonplace to have at least subs. Why? Because it's better than nothing and allows people to watch and find out if they enjoy it, while waiting for dubs. And I suppose if they dont do it, someone else will.

If you don't want to watch because you gotta read fast or prefer hearing great English VAs, that's fine. But dont act like we aren't being taken seriously. Think reasonably, your language of choices isnt the only one not dubbed for doing so cost more money without seeing a demand yet.

I want Fable to be good but the sheer amount of time, delays and the fact the main character still looks extremely uncanny valley.

Look at whom they modeled it after and what they did. If I cant use a custom character then I gotta wait for mods or something.

I have little hope that Fable will be good.

This skin hardly looks much different from Vexs default skin. I'm looking at it trying to figure out why this skin would be such a great offer. But I just cant see a difference.

Ugh, I might have to check it out in game just to notice it.
