Yeah so that's actually an interesting suggestion. inXile don't have the same high-profile record of CRPGs as Larian/Obsidian/Owlcat but they are on essentially the same Indie-AA-AAA arc, with Clockwork Revolution clearly being an AAA game (albeit a smaller one I'm guessing, from the trailers -...

Oooooh man how did I miss that. But yes there's another. Which begs the question, if the Xenomorph is metaphorically the "Bear", which alien is metaphorically the "Crocodile" and as such will eat him? So I think there's potentially a very good reason for that, and the show actually explains at...

In the sense "there's a chance" a random billionaire could have written you into his will without you knowing, sure. This is not true, and you certainly did not hear the first part from an interview with Swen. The studio was absolutely not "on the ropes". That's literally the opposite of what...

There's seemingly something odd going on there. The flashbacks are also to them and the father seemingly wearing 1950s/1960s clothing (and the furniture looks old-fashioned too), which raises even more questions. Also how young is Joe, exactly? Like, 18? 20? He only seems a few years older than...

I said that wasn't the case so not sure where you're getting that from... The difference is you make your own mistakes and thus don't randomly cancel games just so some upper-mid management exec can get a larger bonus. Which happens constantly now, and which longer dev cycles make a much bigger...

I like DIE but this is kind of my one hang-up with the system lol.

AAA ASSETS baby. In the broadest possible sense. That's the main thing. Assets are just so much more work to make with more requirements for quality - not just like, 4K textures or higher, but like, detailed, complex, flexible animation systems. Reliable scripting systems which allow for...

Hopefully she doesn't mind uh, a fair bit of gore because whilst it's not super-dwelled on, there definitely a lot in episode 2. But that said I watched Alien/Aliens at like 12/13 and it was fine so...

I mean, they were in charge of the majority of 5E's products, one or the other of them, but I don't think that shows much. Independent of 5E, Crawford is the original designer and creator of the Blue Rose RPG, which was an RPG for what used to be called "romantic fantasy" (not "romantasy", very...

When? When in the last 15-20 years did an independent studio do that? Because I can't think of a single example of an independent studio doing that. And every example I can think of, the actual cause, contrary to your "it just happens man" implication, was directly traceable to the publisher...

Bioware are probably locked up for the next 5+ years with making ME5 or dying trying (especially as they have to essentially rehire back up to an AAA level after being made to fire everyone), and then DLC if it's not a complete flop. Also if it's not a flop, I would fully expect EA to say "Ur...

I think Larian's next one is a bit more of a dice-roll than "probably a masterpiece" because Swen is both very influential within his company, an agent of chaos, and has bad taste (but also seems like a good guy apart from that), and Swen has sort of implied he wants more influence again (than...

I suspect it'll be closer to the former than the latter, but we almost certainly shall not see at the current rate! Maybe someone's great, great, great etc. descendant will though!

Further thoughts: 1) This Xenomorph is like, insanely more dangerous than any Xenomorph we've seen before, and is ruthlessly focused on killing and nothing but killing pretty much as fast and efficiently as possible if there's more than one person present (except when it's the typical Alien...

Yup. WotC top leadership don't understand why BG3 succeeded. It wasn't because of the BG licence, as most people who played it had never played a BG game (and only some had heard of them before BG3). The average player is like, 28. It wasn't because of D&D or the Forgotten Realms - they did...

Meh. In nature that's always a case of "it wasn't true until it was". And "much larger" is very variable based on the exact dragon art/description. The muscles would have to be, sure, but like, if you were in the Triassic, looking at animals then you'd have poo-poo'd the idea of Brachiosaurs or...

No, it could not have been. That wouldn't have made any sense at all. I think you're reading this and seeing a sentiment you don't agree with and not looking at the distinction I'm making. When BG1 came out, companies pretty much never spent years and years working on a game, then ditched it...

I have to admit the one thing I would 100% pay for, for DH, is a big-ass book full of environments, traps, social situations, and so on, by someone who I actually respected the mechanical and thematic competence of, which, with love, is absolutely not the two WotC guys Darrington has hired (I...

Disagree. Bat or bird-style wings would absolutely function at that scale, they're just not that different to aeroplane wings. The issue is more to do with the claimed weights of D&D dragons, and how the game claims they fly. What do you mean by reverse? Because you seem to be using a lot of...
