I’d kill to be Noelle there
I just don’t see how this is a real issue and not something that can be solved with blocking users, hiding posts and moving on. That’s really bottom of the barrel as far as internet hate goes.
If this were somehow about being unsatisfied with the game or the company, I’d say “play something else”, there’s always other games but…its not even that? I don’t know, it just really seems like an extremely easy issue to solve - even if I wouldn’t call it an issue to begin with.
As a D&D hater, I don’t think this is a problem of the game, or even of the forums. Your partner doesn’t seem like the kind of person that can handle someone disliking something they like, and considering everything that has been happening in the past few years - or really, ever - with Wizards of the Coast and D&D, there’s no place where you won’t find people - rightfully - criticizing it.
If he truly loves it, just find people with similar taste and play with it them, taking opinions from random online folks so seriously to the point of considering dropping his hobby is a terribly harmful outlook, and not just centered on tabletop gaming.
Yeaa! Always cheers me up to see brazilian games being reccomended
Glad you think so, this is exactly why I thought of making it!
Thanks, I thought of putting a little extra effort, though I think I’ll definitely stop now because the OP is getting cluttered
Case of the Golden Idol is a must have, I avoided sharing in my OP due to being fairly well known, but if someone also shares it then I have no choice! :D
We’re online, I don’t think you need to apologize for showing off some furries :P
Its Bunlith, the sona of the Bloodborne Kart and Bloodborne PSX games
Which reminds me to put Bloodborne Kart up there
I have played very little of both Avernum and Avadon, not enough to have an opinion. They’re both on my “One Day” play list
SpiderWeb games are really good! I’m particularly fond of Queen’s Wish where you deal with political factions and base building while attempting to reclaim (or liberate) an abandoned colony.
They look like they’d be bullshit hard games, but they tend to be actually quite smooth and well made, while still being simplistic
stupid brain, thanks for pointing it out
I’m actually going to make a thread about it and try to focus on more recent releases
So game companies have several ways to increase the ROI for their products: decrease costs, increase price, or increase audience size. As it is hard for single-player titles to signficiantly icnrease the number of players, Novak believes that publishers will continue to charge more for their games. The new $70 base price already seems too much for many customers, so companies try to come up with tricky monetization methods, including various deluxe editions priced at $100 or even higher.
Absolute imbeciles. We’re living in an era where customers have less and less purchasing power, where people can - and should - make more precise decisions when buying products, with wide availability of other options that aren’t AAAA titles, so what are execs thinking of? Charge more, obviously.
It is unrealistic to invest 150 millions in a game and expect a profit because you’re disconnected from your customer base. And you have the bare minimum of self awareness to consider that investing less and expecting less growth is an option, but choose instead to ignore it and push ahead with infinite growth. The development schedule of your average AAAA title is already almost as long as a console generation, there’s nothing that can be done if suits are staring at this wall and choosing to bash their head against it, rather than try alternative options.
That’s a window, Smorty. Why would you say those things to that poor guy.
you’re welcome 🫡
A fightstick is the ideal for anyone wanting to invest in the genre, as it provides both precise control and a wide array of movements that neither d-pad or analog can reach.
It was a joke-y cursed option because d-pad are not only wildly uncomfortable but also quite inefficient when it comes to the high speed sequences
As with most, depends on the game. 2D I generally prefer D-pad, even if the game has 8 directions. For 3D, there’s really no choice.
My cursed option: I like playing fighting games with the d-pad.
Also a stray opinion: I hate games that mix the two on moment to moment gameplay. Using D-pad for pause menus while moving with the Analog, fine. Using d-pad to use items during live gameplay, like in soulslikes? Terrible.
Brazilian. D&D is naturally at the top, as I expect in most places (thought WotC has been fumbling and won’t publish translated material any more, so I wonder for how long). I don’t know how popular P2e is, if its at all.
Following that, there’s 3D&T/Tormenta/T20 which is a local fantasy game, and Ordem Paranormal which is a hack/mod/spin-off(I can never get which means which) based off CoC.
There’s also Old Dragon 2/OD2/New Old Dragon which is a national (surprisingly, given the name) OSR fantasy game inspired by AD&D
I actually haven’t played any of these, I’ve been a PbtA guy for a while, although at the moment I’m extremely Lancer pilled
