People who say "found family" need to find some friends.

Dispatch faceplants at the finish line with its two worst episodes. But episodes 1-6 are so good that the game is still worth buying.

Rebranding "gossip" as "whisper network" has been incredibly powerful.

What Dispatch proves is that the western public is starved for the eroge. Rance could save them, if only they were brave enough to try.

This year has been absolutely cracked for video games. Hit after hit after hit.

Damn, the ending of Bloodlines 2 is a disaster.

IMHO, saying that "VtM Bloodlines 2 is a good game, it's just a bad Bloodlines game" is delusional. People keep saying it because CohhCarnage said it, and it's just wrong.

If the main character of Bloodlines 2 is a Nomad, then why is he mad all the time?

I think big tech companies are like dogs, and they just redesign JIRA UI arbitrarily.

People are hating Bloodlines 2 wrong. "Muh lore", "muh lore". The lore is fine.

Bloodlines 2 isn't *bad*, but it feels like a simulacrum of an ImSim. Like it's made by the people who have seen BL1 and Deus Ex and noticed that ImSims have hub worlds and side quests and dialogue options, but they don't understand why. So these features are in BL2, but not connected to anything.

Verso is the main villain of the Expedition 33, and the endings wouldn't have been a binary bad choice if Verso didn't get Gustave killed to hijack his place.

Oh fuck me, Rue Valley is out in two weeks???

Solomorne sure is a guy who exists. I kept him in my party the entire playthrough, and I can say with certainty - this guy exists. Besides Arbites being a boring faction, and Solomorne is also just redundant.

I do wonder how many people would be calling Yrliet's storyline a "romance" up to Quetza Temer if it wasn't being called a romance by an achievement and internal tagging.

It's great that at the very end of Rogue Trader, Pasqal of all people empathizes with the C'Tan

The customization in Bloodlines 2 is surreal. Why would anyone ever make it like this? Why can't you adjust the hair color? Why can't you combine makeup, scars, and glasses? Why can't you have a beard or a mustache?

Despair-inducing realization that the demand for full voice acting in cRPGs is driven by the fact that many people find reading challenging.

Video games do not actually have an inherent price value and should cost what the buyers are willing to pay for them. And how does that inflation compare to the purchasing power rise, hm? Sorry, but Marx was a tool.

My old playthrough was Heretical, so I have not seen how mad Pasqal gets at Ulfar

Nice hat, bozo #RogueTrader

That horrible feeling when I came up with a kick-ass Dark Heresy 1e character concept, but I'll never get to play it because no one runs Dark Heresy. Or Rogue Trader. Or Black Crusade. Especially not as play-by-post. Halp.

"No amount of suffering will make me forget his sacred words... BURN THE HERETIC! KILL THE MUTANT! PURGE THE UNCLEAN! "

I think Marazhai is really lonely. Here's my read on the two space elves. They are both cripplingly lonely, but in very different ways and they are dealing with it very differently. Yrliet is pushing everyone away. She has left the eldari to be a lone wolf adventurer, and now they are all dead.

Still don't understand why so many people dislike Alushinyrra in Wrath of the Righteous and Commorragh in Rogue Trader. I always thought they were neat.

A thing I'm growing to appreciate about Rogue Trader is that a lot of your companions are just... bad. At their jobs. At life. Most of them are failsons/daughters who suck at the one stereotypical thing of their archetype

I think the reason Pasqal being the top team killer in Rogue Trader endings (4 team kills) catches so many people off guard is that his funny robot man persona makes it easy to ignore that most of what he says are threats of death or torture.

Rogue Trader DLCs are so goddamn good. If Dark Heresy can somehow top it, it'll be the best RPG ever made. Which is huge since WotR and Rogue Trader are the top 2.

Hey, if that's what gets the US to lay off genital mutilation...

Posts like these exemplify American exceptionalism mindset more than any other art piece. Most European cultures' folklore involves tales of the guile hero making a deal with the devil and then coming out on top.

I am still thinking about Romancing SaGa 2 remake. This is what I wanted Final Fantasy 7 remake to be. A faithful recreation with improvements and expansions to make it more fun to play and shore up some unexplored topics. Not the bizarro sequel reimagining

I recently re-read Dracula, and I kinda forgot that there's a whole implied comedy routine in the castle. Dracula has no servants, so he's his own coachman (with a disguise beard), and he's the one cooking when Jonathan isn't looking.
