First Monster Hunter World mod, Game has the worst anti-mod techniques

Link - https://www.dsogaming.com/news/first…od-techniques/
Quote:
“I do not know if this is a part of Denuvo that has never been used before or if it’s actually a trumped up ad-hoc solution from people who have no business imposing restrictions on the consumer. Anti-debug / anti-mod is always bad, but it’s exponentially worse when done by amateurs who do not have the necessary experience to ensure their stupid charade doesn’t do more harm to the customer than benefit (is there any?) to the publisher.”

Phantom Doctrine Will Have a Rather Long Campaign

Quote:
From GameWatcher: "Phantom Doctrine aims to right two particular wrongs in one fell swoop. The first would be for it to tackle the moderately underused XCOM-ish gameplay mechanics: the strategic meta-layer, and the tactical combat features. The second is the fact that it is spy-themed, which isn't something you see every day."

Queen's Wish: The Conqueror Update #7

Link - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects…/posts/2262641
Quote:
Here is the first monthly update for Queen’s Wish development! We’ve been hard at work on the new game, and it is moving along.

Spiderweb games are developed in three phases. First, we work on the game engine and system. This takes 3-5 months, depending on how much of the game is new. In Queen’s Wish, almost everything is new.

Then we write the game world, which is about six months. Then 2-3 months of porting to Windows and testing. Then we ship! (And then move on to the ports to mobile.)
Jagged Alliance: Rage announced for PC, PS4 and Xbox One

loading…
Quote:
We are all getting older. Nothing bad about that, right? Well, the knees might hurt sometimes, seeing things far away gets a bit harder, and – oh, boy! – the heart is not as strong as it used to be. But we wake up every morning, go to work, business as usual: killing some bad guys, igniting the odd rebellion, overthrowing another evil dictator…

That’s what the mercenaries of Jagged Alliance have been doing these past 20 years. And now Ivan Dolvich, Helmut “Grunty” Grunther, Kyle “Shadow” Simmons and the other infamous fighters have a mission again when they’re stranded behind enemy lines: survive.

In Jagged Alliance: Rage! you are constantly on the brink of breakdown. Badly equipped and outnumbered, it’s up to the player to lead their seasoned mercenaries in tactical turn-based missions and to light the spark of a revolution.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Developer Blog - Road to Gamescom 2018

Quote:
Gamescom is just around the corner and we are sure that many of you are eager to hear about what we will be showing at the event. Instead of stringing you along and leaving it as a surprise, we thought we would take a different approach this year by being upfront with you about what we will be presenting in Cologne.

As most of you will already know, at last year’s event we took a hands-on multiplayer demo to Gamescom that allowed guests to dive in and experience one of our new multiplayer game modes: Captain Mode. The event was a huge success and it was great to be able to show people what we were working on and the progress we had made with the game. However, multiplayer is just one aspect of Bannerlord and our community was left in the dark as to how things were progressing with the singleplayer part of the game (which many people would consider to be the main draw). If you are one of the people that fall into this category, then we are pleased to tell you that is exactly what we will be showing at this year’s Gamescom!

Phantom Doctrine's Preliminary Patch Notes for Upcoming Two Updates [LOS/LOF]

Link: https://steamcommunity.com/games/559…00456297308735

Quote:
Due to the balance implications, we're conducting additional tests of the Line of Sight system improvements. They also require modifications to the animation tree. Because of that, we'll publish the improvements in two stages. First the disabling of sidesteps for targets not in full cover (free sidesteps), then additional clarifications of LOS / LOF situations.

The first of the patches is expected during the weekend and should address a majority of the most confusing LOS situations. The second patch will require more work to bring it to the quality and stability we require so we expect it on Wednesday.

Shenmue I & II Reviews

Quote:
It's still hard to recommend Shenmue I & II to modern players with no connection to the franchise or appreciation for older 3D titles. It may simply be too chewy to really enjoy unless you've got a certain appreciation for the games of the early 3D era, but if you do have an appreciation for this period, and for Japan, Hong Kong, and the cultures you'll get a glimpse of as you guide Ryo Hazuki on his journey of discovery and revenge, then Shenmue I & II can most certainly be recommended. It's a piece of video game history that's worth digging into. You'll see.
Link - https://www.gamewatcher.com/reviews/…2-review/13054
Quote:
If you've never played the Shenmue series, there's truly no excuse now to dip your feet into its world. Even to the arcade-hardened consumer who cares less about a narrative, these games still show off what good open worlds can be. Many modern sandboxes rope in players with their size, but only deliver environments that are shallow or forgettable. Shenmue sidesteps this problem with grace, putting copycats to shame. Even if you don't intend to purchase the re-release and opt for original hardware, play these games before you die.

Why No Assassin's Creed in 2019 Makes Sense for Ubisoft

Link - https://www.usgamer.net/articles/why…se-for-ubisoft
Quote:
When Ubisoft announced that Assassin's Creed was no longer going to be an annual franchise, some folks breathed a sigh of relief. After some missteps, the series needed some time off to find its focus and for more casual fans of the franchise, trying to get through one huge historical journey each year was difficult. The break paid off with the excellent Assassin's Creed Origins, which is why some groaned when Ubisoft announced Assassin's Creed Odyssey for release a year later. Was Assassin's Creed back to an annual cadence already, they wondered?

After the success of last year’s sci-fi Action RPG The Surge, Focus Home Interactive and Deck 13 are ready to showcase the very first gameplay footage of The Surge 2, releasing 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Devious mercenaries called The Hunters roam the artificial, man-made forest, searching for a powerful creature. Beware their traps, their cunning cloaking devices, and most of all, the out-of-control former park guardians.

It would make a perfect PC port as it plays similar to Witcher III. Though no at this point they only have a steam page that has a few video documentary's. It's disappointing.

Ported officially to PC - no. It's developer is owned by Sony which means it'll remain a hostage of inferior hardware.
Eventually it'll appear within an emulator but by the time it happens, noone will want to buy/play it as it'll be a decade old or more.

There is however a fresh variable in the mix and that's nVidia's recently announced raytracing capable GPUs.
As you know (or not but will now), nVidia refused contracts for developing PS4/XBone hardware. Both of those consoles contain weak (and now ancient) AMDs chips yet people are still buying those. Why? PS4 and XBone are still using aggressive PR for selling trash hiding what really matters (frames per second) with yelling everywhere about silly who cares about "cosmetics" (upscaled 4K, HDR, screw PC visuals only gameplay matters).

Now the same nVidia didn't refuse Nintendo Switch, however it's primarily a handheld device visual monstrosities cannot run on.
If PS5 (and next Xbox) fails to include ray tracing, there is a hope Sony will want the cash from the audience HZD definetly belongs to - PC. In such case we could see the port. In other words, only if PS5 doesn't sell like crazy. Doesn't have to fail miserably, just not sell billions of plastic boxes with cheap and weak junk inside.

Thanks for showing me your review. Great read and really enjoyed it. Makes me want to play the game.

I haven't had a console game since the Atari in 1979 :) Not sure I will buy a Playstation 4 but I'm tempted for a few games.

RPG Codex Review: Pillars of Eternity II - It's Pretty Alright

Link- http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=10984
Quote:
As you may remember, Pillars of Eternity I didn’t make much of an impression on me. In fact, I thought it was pretty damn terrible. Meanwhile, odd as it may sound, its sequel was actually a big positive surprise for me. Maybe it was due to my low expectations, but I did enjoy the time I spent on it, and my “100%” playthrough took well over 50 hours, so that has to mean something. I’d say it only gets stale in the last 10 or so hours when you’re so overpowered you can put anything down by glaring at it, and the whole exploration angle loses its charm because you’re sailing from place to place, clearing out leftover errands.

If I had to draw a comparison, I’d say the game is like Storm of Zehir’s bigger and dumber cousin. It has the same “classic fantasy adventure” gameplay focus of romping around a big map at your leisure and seeing your riches and stats grow with some barely relevant story playing out in the background. By nature of being a standalone game, not an expansion, it’s also much, much greater in scope. But at the same time its mechanics suffer due to the misguided PoE system instead of the tried and tested D&D (as butchered as it may be for RTWP purposes), while its story is all things considered much more prominent, but without any positive qualities that would warrant said prominence.

I don’t think Deadfire is a game that I’ll ever revisit, but I definitely appreciate the effort that went into improving it compared to its predecessor, because the fixes are many and they are very real. However, it must be stressed that Deadfire is more than simply an improvement over PoE1 – it’s a pretty alright game in itself, though your appreciation of it may depend on what you like the most in an RPG. If it’s freedom of exploration you seek, I’d recommend giving it a spin, because it’s the one area in which Deadfire excels. If it’s combat, you might end up disappointed. If it’s story and related matters, stay the hell away.

Because let me stress again: to enjoy the game it’s absolutely imperative to shut down your brain and 111111 your way through every dialogue, preferably also skip companions and either make your own party or take sidekicks – at least they stay silent. Without all that garbage, you can focus on clearing out the overland map, looking for places to loot and people to kill, sometimes going into a fight that is actually challenging or accidentally stumbling upon a secret area that is available only on a certain time of the in-game year.

We take a break from looking at things that make your life harder, to take a look at things that make your life easier this week. The upcoming ‘Beasts & Exploration’ DLC will add a bouquet of new weapons. Some of them will fill gaps in the progression of existing weapon types, while others are hybrid and niche weapons to create new builds and tactics with. And all of them will add more variety to human opponents, like brigands. Just keep in mind that details may still change depending on how playtesting goes. Let’s take a look!

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem Update #81

Hello everyone! September and our Beta transition are approaching really fast! Today, we would like to share a little more about some changes planned. Let’s talk about the fail state in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem!
Pathfinder: Kingmaker feels like the PC RPGs of old, warts and all

Link - https://www.pcgamer.com/pathfinder-k…warts-and-all/
Quote:
In the pantheon of CRPGs, Pathfinder: Kingmaker feels like a throwback to the classics more than a modern reinvention like Divinity: Original Sin. Mishulin estimates that the main story will take at least 40 hours to complete, and an additional 80 hours for all the side content and kingdom building. My time with Kingmaker reminded me of the wonder and unknowing potential of a good tabletop campaign, but I’m also left unsure if its stories will be enough to deal with its muddy combat for dozens of hours. You can check out the game for yourself when it releases on September 25th on Steam and GOG.

For anyone who enjoys roleplaying as a virtuous champion or malicious evildoer, benevolent ruler or militaristic tyrant, Pathfinder: Kingmaker should provide dozens of hours full of adventure and consequential decision-making. I'm mainly excited to just take my sweet time reading all the enchanting dialogue as I chat with my companions, and trying to make everyone in my kingdom like me. Your personal story can begin when Pathfinder: Kingmaker launches for PC on September 25.

Not sure how I managed play 70+ hours in Kingmaker beta where the content is only available till the end of chapter 2, when they say exploring everything will take roughly about 80 hours lol. I'm hoping the remaining 2 chapters are just as fun and long as first two :)
