old rpgs were so dope

i wonder how pillars is

or original sin for that matter

I'm sure Daggerfall woulda seemed cooler at the time, but as a guy who has gone back to it after playing Morrowind and Oblivion first, it doesn't hold up, especially against other games of that time. Bethesda were almost too far ahead of their time by trying to create a game of that scope. Top-down RPGs were much more viable and digestible back then, and still hold up a thousand times better.

Pillars of Eternity is incredible, I highly recommend it. It's on special on GOG right now, also on Fanatical. Buy it ASAP.

Original Sin...I didn't like it. But Original Sin 2 is a vast improvement. Buy that.

sadly i dont have time for long rpgs anymore... spent most of the last few years with nifty indies (especially rogue-lites since theyre playable in short bursts) and replaying old shooters

that and i gave up being a pirate once steam got big, but i cant really afford to pay 40 euro for some of this shit i mean cmon

DO IT. PoE comes out next month so buy it and play it ASAP!
I cannot express how much of a beautiful experience it is.

idk sales are so common these days that i barely ever pay full price for video games. today i got dark souls 2 sotfs on PC for $8

pillars is $12 on Fanatical rn as well

the only full-price games i buy now are on Switch because bloody Nintendo games literally never go down in price ever

otherwise even games that were released late last year still get 50% off PC sales extremely frequently. gotta play the market

"idk sales are so common these days that i barely ever pay full price for video games. today i got dark souls 2 sotfs on PC for $8"

you're telling me

sales being so common also means you buy more shit so u have less money to spend

yea i know ive been using steam longer than ive been on sputnik

"sales being so common also means you buy more shit so u have less money to spend"

yeah look it starts to add up

last week i bought all the CIV games for like $20 bc sale
then i got all the Age of Wonders games for $10
then I got the newest Thief game and Life Is Strange for $20
then I got Dark Souls 2 for $8
and whoops there i have gone and spent $60 of my food money

Never heard of Pillars of Eternity, might check it out. I need to get remastered Shadow of the Colossus too now that I finally have a Playstation console, never played it before.

"Fallout 4 loses the atmosphere." I disagree with this, it's very different from 3 and New Vegas but in a good way. I never got so engrossed and addicted in playing an rpg than in this game, besides Oblivion and Skyrim. It's such a detailed, intriguing post-apocalyptic setting and the best I've seen in video game form so far. I really like 3 and New Vegas too, but the more realistic and vast nature of 4 appeals to me the most.

I wish I played Morrowind around when it came out; I went back to it after playing Oblivion and it didn't hold up to me. Many say it's the best Elder Scrolls, but I'm not sure how much of that is nostalgia from the time. I'm sure it was impressive in the early 2000s, but I just couldn't get into it after having been spoiled by Oblivion.

yikes teef looked like garbage sorry for ur loss of moneys

just play dishonoed instead

Did you get DS2 and sotfs or Just sotfs

talons you cant just say its different in a good way just because you subjectively like it

thats not how good or bad works

"I never got so engrossed and addicted in playing an rpg than in this game"

oh man you've got me started now but Fallout 4 is NOT an RPG and let's be real it's not even a Fallout game

neither was 3

"Did you get DS2 and sotfs or Just sotfs"

SOTFS is the full game+expansion in one. if i wanted to buy both separately then i gave to pay $40 and then $30 because games amirite

4 does feel very different from the other Fallouts but I don't see how it isn't an RPG. I didn't play much of 3 or New Vegas when they were released, mainly just a few years ago around when 4 came out, so I'm not that familiar with the history of the series.

sotfs makes a number of balance changes its not really the same game afaik

yeah i don't really get it either Mike, feels like an rpg to me.
