Isn't it just sad? Just unfair? How Morrigan is so much better than Yen but Dragon Age is so much worse than Witcher?
But Dragon Age Origins is much better then the Witcher
>>387436023
I quote from /tv/:
"Netflix - The Witcher: Yennefer wanting to spice her relationship with Geralt, engages in multiple sexual encounters with the black skinned Witcher from the School of the Bull, Tyrone."
But DA:O is a solid game while all Witcher games are trash.

How come a game from 1990 can do it while most modern games can't?
>>387435917
Because back then, they had limits to filesize and graphics/sound and had to actually think and be creative and put effort in, not just slap some cutscene shit together and tout the graphics as the most important thing then sell it on Steam with a 50gb download but only 20hrs tops of actual gameplay.

Both parts of Act Raiser are basically good. The city builder is fun, the action game is fun. I don't remember how much the two actually feed into each other, though. I think you can get spells and other items in the city builder to make your life easier in the action segments, and the action segments in turn unlock more city building or affect it somehow.
Another element that works in their favor is discretion. Maybe it was an accident of hardware and engineering limitations but you couldn't really stop the action game cold and force the player out to manage a complaint from the peasants in one of the towns. So it never nags the player like later games attempts at doing multiple genres tend to.

I want a 3D reboot or sequel.

Why aren't there any non-RTS games set in the American Civil War? I mean even Mount and Blade has a Napoleonic Wars module.
>tfw you will never be a first person infantryman in the Union Army
>tfw you will never be a Confederate marauder
>tfw you will never relive the battles of Gettysburg, Antietam, or Shiloh unless you play some shitty RTS from the 1990s.
>tfw no game will ever have Dixie's Land or the Battle Hymn of the Republic in its soundtrack
A game like that would be absolute bliss... though I suppose they'd try to force as much diversity as possible or make the confederates out to be mustache-twirling comic book villains.
Would a Civil War game appeal to you?
yeah it sure would be awesome to pretend there were only 32 guys at antietam
>>387436061
MnB:NW has 200 player servers. Or, it could just be a "raid" mode where one team is a small band of soldiers attacking a town and the other team defends it.
Why aren't there more civil war video games in general?
In games like Persona, should every female character actually be dateable?
Wouldn't it make more sense to have some reject you no matter what? Persona 5 feels the worst with how no matter how different the girls are, they all seem to fall for a sarcastic slouched nerd.
all the dating shit seems really gay to me
>>387435869
>should every female character actually be dateable
That's not even how the current games work though.
>>387436053
In Persona 5 at least, every single female social link with the exception of the automatic one may end up on romance.
WHY
>>387435850
Wow, and I was about to buy it too.
See the logo
El Presidente!
Best game in the series right there.
Tropico 6 looks neat. Doing the Evil Genius thing of stealing the landmarks of the world. Plus the island connection thing seems cool too.
Now we just need Evil Genius 2 to hurry up and we're good.
I've only played Tropico 3 and 5. I liked 3 a lot, but I wasn't too keen on the changes made in 5. The multiplayer was neat though; I don't remember if 3 had multiplayer. Anyway, Tropico 6 has some neat ideas but I'm not going to take the risk of buying it to find out if they pull it off well. I have a pretty significant backlog anyway.
What are some games with actual graphics?
paradoxapparently
>>387436559
or paragon, or whatever the fuck its called.
>>387435704
Only Sony exclusives have actual graphics and we all know it is true

It would be nice if it gave you the option to choose your characters every time you're about to meet randos instead of only with certain characters.
>>387435201
too many animoo characters
>>387435681
at the very least you're still given that option after you enter the town. I agree that the randomly-selected miis seem to be shit over half the time. It's always better to go in and fix the assigned characters.
/v/ I need your help.
Let's just say I'm retarded. How do I know if a game had a good story or is thematically consistent? I can tell good gameplay because it feels good.
Does a game address the human condition? Does it strive to illuminate truths? If so, does it do so effectively, or during the experience are you routinely reminded that you are being told these things?
Story in games is almost always bad. Read some books if you want to understand see examples of good storytelling.
>>387435335
What is the human condition?
>>387435418
What are good story telling books? I struggle to read anything that isn't non-fiction.
Is there a game where I can basically do the whole "ruling and judging people" thing in Dragon Age Inquisition, but the game itself focuses more on that aspect rather than it just being a side thing?
I want to judge people face to face, shape the world, and see the consequences/results of those actions.
>>387434928
There are games based on that principle but it continues to be done poorly.
Reigns is the one that comes to mind the most. You play as a line of kings with the penultimate goal of outsmarting the Devil.
But it's mostly RNG with very little choices you make actually doing anything to the world overall.
Shrouded Isles is kinda similar too, but it's really a management game.
>>387434928
Warsim: the realm of aslona fits this PERFECTLY, OP.
Only $5 too, but I'd recommend trying one of the later free updates to see if you like it.
>>387435492
Ideally I'd prefer the personal, face-to-face ruling rather than the huge, world changing actions. I want to sit in a position of power and have an advisor at my side, questioning and complimenting my actions and judgments.
If there was a game that heavily focused on specifically the kind of thing Inquisition's throne room segments cover that'd be ideal.
Total hours of gameplay thread. Then convert into Days/months (Log into your psn account, it will tell you your stats)
Steam: 1378 hours
Psn: 8946
That is 430 days of gameplay on my PC+ps3/4
A fucking year and two months. I'm sure between all the older consoles and the 360 and handhelds and shit its at least 7 times the number of steam/psn
So I've played roughly 8.5 years of videogames in my 27 years on earth. Jesus christ
I bet I would have at least double of that with everything counted.
I guess i would have around 5 years of gameplay, counting steam, psn, and older consoles
>>387434906
How old are you? I'm 27 and 1/3 of my life has been spent playing Videogames? I've been pretty addicted to/Consistently playing since I was 5. How in the hell could you have twice the amount of hours I have? Keep In mind I dropped out of 2nd grade and never went back, and only started working part time jobs at the age of 19. Wtf my man
PLEASE BUY DOW3
>>387434326
I give sega 1 year to shutdown relic.
>>387434326
you too?
lmaoooo
>>387434326
Why'd they give these out?
Why are there so few games set in the middle east?
I remember back in the early 00s every military shooter used it as a setting. But nowdays? Literally none.
What happend?
Because it turned out invading Iraq was a huge mistake.
>>387434316
Why should that affect the games at all?
>>387434198
Over-saturation, political correctness or a bit of both perhaps.

'no'
If the quake logo were 1/3 of the size and there were no red accents I'd wear it
