Solasta 2 has 500K wishlists on Steam. That's not surprising at all because the first game was one of the best cRPG's I've ever played and the second one looks like it will be even better. If this game isn't on your radar yet it really should be.

I did a video highlighting some of the amazing Steam Next Fest demos that are available right now. Looks like another great year for gaming. :) youtu.be/FMWsVOe3Ix0I

Here's a list of demos I've streamed from Steam Next Fest. If something catches your eye, you have until March 2nd to play the demo. All of them are awesome in their own way but the ones on the bottom struck me the most. Be sure to wishlist anything you like on Steam!

This is awful news. I had so much fun with Outer Worlds 2 and felt that it was a significant improvement over the first game. Microsoft really screwed Obsidian by trying to charge people $80 for this title. I still don't understand the reasoning behind that move.

Closed beta coming next month. I cannot wait!

Alpha was amazing and hopefully the beta is just around the corner.

Just fabulous marketing all the way around. 😂

I am happy with Larian's response and appreciate the transparency demonstrated in this AMA. Most developers would've just went into turtle mode and hoped the heat would die down. It's interesting to see that a lot of other people are not nearly as satisfied. Hopefully Larian can earn back trust.

In todays video, for the first time on camera, @davidgaider.bsky.social explains the reasons why he had to leave Bioware. Unfortunately his words confirm what many of us already suspected. PLEASE NOTE: David has always spoken well of Bioware devs. This is about EA. Video: youtu.be/EE7cpJwC_bo

The greatest cRPG villain of all time was cobbled together at the last minute. In todays video @davidgaider.bsky.social reveals how James Ohlen decided at the eleventh hour to completely reimagine Jon Irenicus' story, resulting in one of gaming's most iconic characters. youtu.be/aKRkwIzYQq4

Is this fair? Fans of Arc Raiders are going pretty crazy over Eurogamer giving it a 2/5. Eurogamer docked it several points due to Embark Studios use of AI voices. Personally I think it's fair but I'm biased against AI and I don't care about the game. Any thoughts?

Rue Valley is launching tomorrow! A link to my review is below but here's a brief summary: PROS: Strong narrative, time loop works well, fluid character stats & it's very well written. CONS: Annoying late game quests & ending didn't hit for me. Overall I had a good time with the game. :)

"Mark Darrah couldn't say no to anybody." One of the reasons Baldur's Gate 2 has some of the most memorable spell mechanics in gaming is that @markdarrah.bsky.social was always down to do more. In this clip Trent marvels at his willingness to code Chain Contingency. Full Vid ⬇️

Final Fantasy 7 was so good that it pushed Bioware to reimagine what Baldur's Gate 2 could be. That & many other fascinating reveals are available in today's interview with @davidgaider.bsky.social, Trent Oster, & Ed Greenwood. Here's a clip regarding FF7 & the full link is below.

What is the point of yelling at Mike about providing a bigger ME update? Who really thought we were going to get something big today? I'm not interested in large flashy trailers that don't represent what the final product is like. Good to see Bioware taking their time.

Chris Avellone believes Obsidian has already moved on to Avowed 2 and I'm very conflicted about this. I enjoyed TOW2 significantly more than Avowed but I still looked forward to where Obsidian would go with it. This also makes me wonder what are Obsidian's reasons for moving on so quickly. ⬇️

Happy N7 Day! Here's a clip from tomorrow's video where @trentoster.bsky.social gives Mark Meer major props for being an INCREDIBLE voice actor. There are also pictures of Mark in costume during a LARP event! The full interview will air tomorrow at 9:30 AM CST on my channel.

Patch is only in beta but I'm calling it now: Pillars of Eternity is much more enjoyable in Turn Based than it was using RTwP. Some issues to work out but I'm REALLY excited to do a new playthrough. Lining up Durance behind the frontline to use reach is so much easier now.

Without question episodes 5 & 6 of Dispatch lived up to the level of quality we have come to expect from the game. What a wild ride and CRAZY ending. I cannot wait to experience the finale next week.

Please, please, please, please, let this be the leadup to a Pillars 3 announcement at the GOTY awards!

What a great night to be on Twitter. Been a long time since I've said that but this was awesome. Looking forward to a lot more nights just like this one. 😂

Turn based mode in Pillars of Eternity 1 will have a public beta starting on 11/5. The game will let you switch between TB & RTwP. They have also made several upgrades so the experience is even better than in Deadfire. Obsidian this looks INSANE.

Interviewing the creator of Dragon Age and then the VERY NEXT DAY enraging a bunch of trolls due to saying something positive about Veilguard just feels right. 🤣🤣🤣

Happy Anniversary. I remain thankful that we received another Dragon Age game and that there was an end to Solas' story. I know it will be a long time before it happens but I remain hopeful that one day the series does continue.

Twenty-years ago I bought an XBOX specifically so I could play KOTOR. I've been a massive David Gaider fan ever since. Last night I got to pick his brain about Baldur's Gate 2 for over an hour. I think I did a pretty good job of not being a fanboy but wow what an experience.

The Verge's review of TOW2 notes Microsoft's ties to Israel in a way that's meant to disparage Obsidian and by extension the game. I find that unfair but I see some people calling it brave. Here's a clip from today's video exploring the subject and seeking more clarity. Full video is below.

Any Dark Quest fans? I've never heard of the series but apparently it's turn based and inspired by Hero Quest. Dark Quest 4 is coming out next week and it's co-op. Might be interesting to play with a few folks but I'm not sure if my community is into it. turnbasedlovers.com/news/heroque...

Just saw Frankenstein in theatres and it was PURE CINEMA. Incredible acting, gripping story, and fantastic writing. The makeup & wardrobe team also did an outstanding job. Probably a little longer than it needed to be but still well worth seeing at the movies.

To celebrate 25 years of Baldur's Gate 2, DM Wyvern and I will be conducting an interview with David Gaider, Trent Oster, and Ed Greenwood. If you have any thoughts on what would be good questions let me know. The interview won't be live but we will release two videos for it sometime next month.

The Kickstarter for Legacy of Valor starts tomorrow. Anybody else thinking about giving it a whirl? Castle building, large scale battles, and an expansive narrative sounds like a lot but hopefully they can pull it off.

Not my type of game so I'll probably never play this but it was ABSOLUTELY my pleasure to support it. Kudos to the mod team. The coddling of psychotic man children must stop.

I didn't expect to fall in love with Lasombra but thematically I think they are going to be AMAZING to play. This will be the clan I use on my first Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 run for sure. Vid: youtu.be/qpAMgq-kLYY

Many of you mentioned you wished the Starfinder: Afterlight game was going to have more than six classes. They just announced adding Technomancer as the next goal. :)

I'm not getting nearly enough cRPG posts here. Anybody have recommendations on good cRPG devs/creators I should be following?

Man the Starfinder: Afterlight Kickstarter is STILL going strong and now almost sits at 350K! Two more tiers are almost complete. Sounds like this game is going to have quite a bit of voice acting which is phenomenal.

The Kickstarter for Starfinder: Afterlight has reached 250K! Wow I know Epictellers have to be popping bottles in Barcelona right now! No clue where the goals go from here. Maybe more companions?

In case some of you are looking for more information regarding Starfinder: Afterlight, here's a clip from my video with some basic details. There's a lot more information in the full video linked below. :) Full Video: youtu.be/P6gq4RN6-10

SICK. Another Starfinder: Afterlight Kickstarter goal cleared, allowing the game to have significantly more voice acting. I wonder what the next one will be!

There's a new goal on the Starfinder: Afterlight Kickstarter! Having all the main villains fully voice acted would be AMAZING! Currently they are sitting at 155K so there's a good chance this target will be met. :) Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/epi...

No question this game deserves BOTH awards. Be sure to vote!

Not only is the project fully funded but they already hit the 100K Skittermander goal as well! Wow it looks like there's a LOT of hype for a new Starfinder game. Looking forward to covering it more for all of you. :)

Just when I think I can safely ignore EA, something else crazy happens. I don't believe Mass Effect 5 is in jeopardy but this deal is terrible for both devs and gamers. Full Video: youtu.be/sjQGGfOsXf8

Two more Starfinder companions revealed! Really looking forward to getting my hands on this game.

My channel has repeatedly brought up Tactics Ogre: Reborn and that I should give it a try. For the past couple of streams I've been checking it out and holy cow it's been so much fun. This is my first Tactics game and turns out I might be a fan of the genre.

An Inquisition Acolyte's team is as contrasting as the path it can take... Which of the revealed Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy companions do you find most intriguing so far? Please share it with us in the comments! #Warhammer40000 #DarkHeresy

Definitely excited to check this out. I have no idea when I'll get to it consider the dozen other things coming out in October but Black Geyser was really cool and I'm hoping the expansion makes it even better.

I'm a little under half way through and so far South of Midnight is INCREDIBLE. Captivating art, fantastic character designs that make you care about the people, and music that consistently blows me away. I am having a way BETTER time with this game than expected.

My little brother sent this to me today. Not my birthday or anything just did it out of love. I remember when he had no money and would use up all the damn gas in my car. Now he's balling out of control and randomly sends me nerd stuff. It's amazing to watch people level up.

Last night I got a chance to livestream the Esoteric Ebb Steam demo. NO QUESTION I'll be playing this game when it comes out. Incredible art and fantastic character creation combined with a great premise. It's looking like a must buy for fans of both D&D and Disco Elysium.

There's a video up today regarding my final thoughts on Avowed. Honestly it was SIGNIFICANTLY better than I thought it would be and I had a really good time. It definitely has weaknesses, some of which cannot be fixed by DLC, but still great fun. youtu.be/zOrYBlqtwI4
