The Good Doctor Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 1 minute ago, BigBossBalrog said: Apparently it's because there preparing for Skull and Bones to be such a huge fucking flop; they want to reuse the new technology and assets they made for it Ubisoft never disappoints with its incompetence. That makes sense. Though with Mirage coming out, they’ve got a lot of prime assets for an AC1 remake as well. But yeah, Black Flag might actually be the last game in the series in need of a remake. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I think its safe to attribute the popularity of the remake trend to Capcoms success; which is funny because RE is doing both well-recieved Remakes AND well-recieved new titles. Wouldn't be surprised if the industry starts pumping out remakes at the expense of new games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage looks promising though, so maybe that won’t be the case with them. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Beth is ever going to jump on the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 @The Good Doctor That Sci Fi horror game with Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan) starring comes out next month. Production value actually looks pretty crazy for a non AAA game. Hopefully it's good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Bought Halo CEA, 2A, 3, and ODST on PC due to the summer sale. Been replaying ODST after years, and man I cannot believe my ignorant ass used to dislike ODST as a kid. It's so damn good and atmospheric. Also @The Good Doctor https://store.steampowered.com/app/291650/?snr=1_5_9__205 That's the one right, the game you suggested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard they’re very good and have a lot of content. If I were you, I’d just get the definitive edition that comes with them all. It’s only $2 more right now. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be afraid to save an enemy for later if they’re giving you trouble. This game intentionally front loads a few difficult fights off the beaten path, but most will become trivial with more party members or a level up or two. Class-wise, I’m betting you’ll be a druid, which is unfortunately the one I am least familiar with. If so, I’d ask @Celan for any class related advise. Her Watcher was a druid. 1 hour ago, BigBossBalrog said: 450 million on a dead IP like Indiana Jones that was already ruined before they touched it. What the fuck were they thinking? $450 million is just production. Total cost is usually around double that. Charitably, this movie will probably need $800 million just to make it in the green. Probably more. Realistically, for the money they sank in it, this needed to be a billion dollar movie to be worthwhile. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article says the marketing cost was about 100 million; and it wouldn't surprised me because I basically say jack shit in terms of commercial and ads about it Even 450 Million total would be a bomba considering it's barely made 60 million over the week. If they wanted to test the waters they should have done something else with the IP; maybe a limited mini series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celan Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Druid is super powerful in PoE 1 and got massively nerfed in 2. One reason I didn't like the sequel, though not the most important. I don't have a lot of advice because it's been so long since I played and I've been on Pathfinder since then, so I would probably get the two muddled.

The nature hippy that communes with animals and hates all to do with civilization and steel. Nah fam, the historical druids, what little we know, were masters and judges of men. Priests and scholars, and at times sinister fuckers. Now if PoE's druids were the esoteric elite, and creepy wizards, that I'd love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 4 minutes ago, TheCzarsHussar said: :O The lore for how their powers work is also really cool. The reincarnation of the soul is a very major and known element of this world. It is a quantifiable fact that most living things have souls. Druids are technically soul mages who have learned to interact with souls or soul fragments present in the natural world. Those who can "spiritshift" into animal forms are actually tapping into a past life in which their own soul was that of a particular animal. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're more likely the darker sort. All in all just nature mages, of which there are goodies and baddies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
