>“Obsidian did a great job of capitalising on the timing of Kickstarter and the wave of nostalgia for these type of titles,” goes his hypothesis. “We've seen that most of the titles after Pillars of Eternity, if you look at Wasteland, Torment - they haven't been anywhere near that kind of success. So maybe it's that a lot of nostalgia fed into the initial bubble and that's why. These games have a market, but it's never gonna be that peak [again].”
>Wester shoulders the responsibility for Tyranny’s marketing, which ran with the slogan: 'Sometimes, evil wins.' It was an approach that wisely brought Tyranny’s twist on RPG morality to the fore - but didn’t touch so much on its singular world and cast.
Huh. I wonder who Obsidiots will blame for Tyranny flopping.

Woah, really makes you think.

Is it any surprise? The only reason New Vegas was a success was because it had the Fallout name attached to it, and even then it underperformed when compared to Fallout 3. Obsidian are a bunch of hacks who only get praise from /v/ because it's fun to shit on Bethesda.

>The future of the Hitman series was put in jeopardy earlier this month when Square Enix announced plans to "withdraw from the business" of developer Io Interactive. The situation seemed to brighten shortly after, when a rumor surfaced indicating that Io will retain the rights to Hitman and proceed with work on the second season. But an update tweeted today indicates that less than two weeks after the studio was put on the block, it has been forced to let employees go.
>The number of employees affected by the cuts isn't known, nor is the status of Square Enix's efforts to sell the studio. It's obviously not good news, but the potential upside is that reduced staff levels could help make Io more attractive to potential buyers. It's also possible—although this is purely speculation—that the layoffs are a condition of a buyout agreement that's been reached but not yet announced.

The prime is worse than the dex. And the Dex is a free grindless weapon.
Also option 2. But knowing DE It will always be option 1 with a side of nerfs.

What are some examples of games that are hardcore and unforgiving?
12 Posts / 3 Images

>>378617952
Definitely not any of the Fallout entries.
Elminage: Gothic, early Wizardry titles (like Wiz 4), some Goldbox games (Pools of Darkness), many roguelikes (ADOM). In general, early RPGs were pretty unforgiving by any standards.
Of course, there are other genres which may be very challenging, especially actiony titles (say, Super Meat Boy).

I'm leaning towards V.

5 complete is hella cheaper. 6 is a pretty decent base game if you're playing with friends. Not so much as a singleplayer since the AI is dog shit.

>buying a non complete firaxis or paradox game game
just get 4 and 5 complete.

Do developers need protection if you beat their game and get a refund?

Devs need to start making games people won't want to refund.

there is no reason to sell a game that can be beaten in under 2 hours.

Come on. Really? That must have taken you like half an hour, at least. It's just 2 bucks, you petty fuck.
Between Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld, which one is better and why?

Dwarf fortress is significantly less accessible but is multitudes better if you have powerful enough autism to get into it.

RimWorld has better sex mods.
