Got a Battle.net code for Crash 4 and I didn't even ask for it. So that's nice.
Thanks for the thorough explanation. Honestly, I'm not an expert in D&D, probably just an apprentice since I never actually play the boardgame, so I never really paid attention to that kind of stuff. But I at least understand that with the available classes and the 8 or 10 level cap limit, the game probably wouldn't have that much depth. That said, I'm still looking forward to the new adventure in Solasta.Because of the listed content in addition to the actual complete lack of character options from the start. They give you SO LITTLE to work with. Also, from having played D&D IRL and CRPGs for close to 3 decades, level cap of 6-8 after 40 hours in a D&D video game reeks of artificially stretching stuff out which is one of the most annoying things to me in games (looking at you, Portia, worst offender of them all).
1/15th could be read as hyperbolic but when you consider the depth that more classes, more backgrounds, more specialization options, and a few more areas add, I really don't think it is. It's not like I played BG2 with every single class available to the protagonist but at least I was able to make a character that I cared about and was interested in mechanically, which I couldn't do here.
Further, I dislike that nowhere on their store page did it mention anything about all the basic, core 5E ruleset stuff they were limiting / omitting. I just checked and they still don't. The only reason I was able to find out they might add classes later (again, core classes, not like custom or anything) was searching on the forums and a backer saying they had mentioned once maybe adding ones as DLC. They mention the level limit in the EA notes as going up to 10 eventually but according to the latest notes, it's 8.
Some of this lack will not mean anything to people but it's huge to me. It's literally why I would play a D&D game - honestly this may have been better off not even bothering using the license and going with some homebrew rules, they are using so little of it.
I can't speak to if they've fixed the various balance decisions that initial impressions seemed to have issues with obviously, but at least one of them (the way lighting affected disadvantage) made me question how of much their own game they had playtested, because it was really clearly not fun. I do still see a number of comments talking about how fights are grindy because of a lot of missing constantly.
Wishlisted both. They look absolutely amazing in their own ways. Loot river just kept on stunning with that avalanche of design ideas in particular. Those water ripples are as unnecessary as they are cool.
Well that will be the only way to make people play it on PC XDGot a Battle.net code for Crash 4 and I didn't even ask for it. So that's nice.
It's nice because I didn't plan on buying it there in the first place.Well that will be the only way to make people play it on PC XD
If they sell 10K copies there i will be surprised.It's nice because I didn't plan on buying it there in the first place.
Yea again, I had a bit of fun in the demo and it showed promise. It's still "Very Positive" so clearly plenty are enjoying it. It seems like it would fall into a weird spot where D&D nerds like me would be disappointed with how shallow it is but non-D&D players might be thrown off by some of the tabletop rules that can be burdensome in a digital setting, but so far obviously they are finding some success.Thanks for the thorough explanation.

Two totally different types of games, both look great.
Thread with care, this is a re-do of an iOS RPG that failed hard in reviews.
I mean this was pretty obvious as it's on battle.netmeanwhile:

yup ... probably the main reason why it's only on bnet ... and why THPS won't be on steam eitherI mean this was pretty obvious as it's on battle.net
I don't know about you but nothing makes me reach for my wallet quite as fast as developers loudly broadcasting that they don't give a shit about their own damn game. If this is true then I guess I'll just never play Ninja Gaiden.so apparently the Ninja Gaiden 1 we're getting in the collection is not only the shitty Sigma version ... but also the Vita version, not the PS3 one

Watch them say "IT'S THE BEST DEBUT ON PC SINCE 1869" they love doing that-If they sell 10K copies there i will be surprised.
Hmmm, depends... probably.Risen 3 is the weakest entry in the series right?

yup, same lolI don't know about you but nothing makes me reach for my wallet quite as fast as developers loudly broadcasting that they don't give a shit about their own damn game.
eh, i liked it ... a lotRisen 3 is the weakest entry in the series right?
the thing about all those statements is that they don't even have to be true ... not like anyone can actually check if they're telling the truthWatch them say "IT'S THE BEST DEBUT ON PC SINCE 1869" they love doing that-

That would have been good ... I reacted emotionally instead and requested refunds for the seven games I just bought that are within the two week grace period (none of which I have played for two hours or more)You need to try to reach a human being.
I tried to play it last year and couldn't finish the game due to a bug(crash) when interacting to an important NPC.Risen 3 is the weakest entry in the series right?

Log in to the Steam client - click on steam support - click on help at the top of the screen - click on 'Purchases' - click on the purchase of the game - I have a question about this purchase - explain the issue.
Yeah I'm not complaining. Not much. Well, ok I am complaining that it blows up my wishlist too much with games I don't have time for. Maybe I should start a thread where I further curate the new release thread.but it IS curated ... we only really post store pages of games that look promising, so there's that
If that game ends up being XCOM3 I don't give a damn what your NDA says. Your first duty is to report that right here.Does any body knows about 2K sending emails to play test an unannounced game? Once you registered on the web page, they send you a link to sign NDA letter... and everything seems to be legit.
that's actually not a bad ideaYeah I'm not complaining. Not much. Well, ok I am complaining that it blows up my wishlist too much with games I don't have time for. Maybe I should start a thread where I further curate the new release thread.

It's a terrible idea! I'd have two threads where I wishlist and then don't buy anything. Or maybe buy game, install game, but don't play game. I'm not getting trapped into this. I see what you're doing.that's actually not a bad idea

Edit:It is extremely disappointing that you refuse to refund the game despite my clear explanation for why I bought the game and how a major and still unresolved technical issue prevents me from getting any use out of the game. My only activity with the game has been starting it up from time to time to see if the major technical issue that prevents me from playing the game has been resolved.
Hello again,

Strange they should be able to refund it. They do it for me when I have requested it.I got this answer:
I answered this:
Irrelevant to the topic, but I rarely found giving developer benefit of a doubt turned out to be good idea. I just assume whatever bug that are present on a release is likely to persist.When did Steam support turn bad? I consider myself to be a collector of digital games on Steam and buy new games weekly. I rarely feel the need to request a refund, even if I think that the game I bought sucked, but refunds have been granted on the rare occasions I have requested one, irrespective of the "two week rule".
Apparently, things have changed over there, and my request was now denied with reference to the "two week rule" after what seems like automatic review of my request.
My request was extremely reasonable. I bought the windows 10 version of The Outer Worlds at release, and I wanted to simplify continuing to play the game (and support the developer) by purchasing the Steam version as well. Unfortunately, some bug prevented me from transferring my save file over to the Steam version, but I continued to wait for a fix. The fix never materialized and after the last DLC I guess they are done with the game, so I requested a refund for this version of the game on Steam that is of no use to me. Was denied automatically ...
