Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

@Penguin Dragneel
ngl, same with me

Next month, I will buy Palworld first. Then I will buy Digimon on Amazon next on the list of October.

@Kiryu-Chan
I’ll have to wait on it though. Both Sonic x Shadow AND Dragon Age are dropping next month, and I still need to get the Persona 3 Reload DLC as well.

@Penguin Dragneel
Dragon Age is a bit of a chore to warn you, especially if you play all three games (four next year). There are a few things I’ll want to tell you before you start that series.

Honestly I’d be okay with Veilguard not having any real save transfers if it provides an overall canon world state. It’s been 10 years since the last game, and 3 games worth of choices is a lot to account for. Especially since plenty had some major implications across the whole setting.

And it got annoying how, sure, much of it was addressed but mostly contained to references that can easily be glossed over. So own up to the fact that it’s a lot of baggage to account for, take advantage of the gap between games, and give us some definitive answers for what happened in the previous games.

@Dustcan
I’d prefer it if they made the decisions moreso side-quests instead of cutting it down to just three. Even something simple like a quest if Fenris is alive and free and another if they were killed/enslaved instead would be nice. It also makes the DA:I choice of having the player character or Morrigan drink the mirror water a bit null since people were expecting that to play a role in the story of Veilguard.

Any dragon age that doesn’t have merrill in it isn’t worth playing.

@Dustcan
That entire save transferring schtick was such a a fucking shitty feature, hell it managed to more or less kill pillars of eternity 2,

The first 2 were nice, yes.

@Thanotos Omega
Honestly, that wasn’t my issue with PoE2.

@Meanlucario
It’s part of the issue of why they had that terrible start also the first game having a cliff hanger ending,

@Thanotos Omega
I didn’t think the start was bad.

@Meanlucario
It’s like 20 minutes of being told what you did in the last game and exposition, that is a terrible way to greet a new player,

I tried using my new steam deck and the piece of shit won’t even boot up properly!

@harasha456
Huh? Was it new? How is it not booting up properly?

Also I bought Nier Automata.

whenever it tries to install the OS the install stalls out forever at 1 second remaining. went looking and this is an extremely common problem caused by crummy internet which means for me it’s unfixable without an unorthodox solution.

Something cute about Blind Prince & Liar Princess is that the trailer song is also the end credit song. So the song that introduced the game is also the one that ends it.

Is COD still popular in Russia?

I can imagine a series that usually has the West has the “good guys” and Bear Nation as “bad guys” is likely a little frowned upon over in the Motherland.

@Mikey
Problem is that they did not deliver solid quality. The game is riddled with bugs, forced stealth sections and for some reason you cannot carry more than one weapon, any heavy weapon is dropped as the char passes from one zone to the next. And for some reason they did not release it on Steam…

@Mikey
I would have bought it if Ubisoft wasn’t nickeling and diming us after the reveal trailer.

@CaptainXtra
I can imagine before 2020s especially before 2014 in Crimea, the Ulranationalists are just seen as crazier Russians. (Though tbh Putin was always a little of that type.) Same for Ghost Recon from that even claimed countries Lituania and Georgia would be invaded, skip to 2008.

But now Russia really is doing more of what used to be more speculation, they probably would either ban them or change Makorov to be some non Russian extremist that does not look like Putin.

So if I were to guess it’s either banned or heavily censored. Though MW2 was probably also controversial because of No Russian.

@Meanlucario
Apparently gamers have extraordinary expectations. I guess it’s too much to ask for a functional game at launch that doesn’t feel like it was made on an assembly line. “quadruple-A gaming”

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I know the rebooted Modern Warfare Trillogy (at least the first game) was banned because it had the Russian army as the bad guys committing war crimes so that probably took a massive blow to popularity there

Though as for actual player numbers idk
