Yeah I feel like rings of power is just a hatewagon everywhere. I've been really impressed with the sets and costumes in both seasons. They are a beautiful treat. And while I'm not terribly interested in the characters or story it's good watching just for that.

Starfield was garbage IMO. I didn't even pay for it and wanted my money back in less than 3 hours.
But I AM still hopeful for Elder Scrolls 6. The weakness of Starfield is exploration is barely a thing; incredibly boring procedural generation is the cause. There is little to no value getting excited exploring the world and the incredible world of Skyrim is what makes it good.
I seriously doubt Bethesda is dumb enough to try procedural generation with the next elder scrolls game, and if they are then it will be dead in the water just by association. But a game similar to Skyrim will likely still find a stronger audience, even if just for the return to form.
Nice! Yeah I will do my own research when/if I decide to play them again on deck. Thank you for the heads up.
Is it pretty feasible to install kotor 2 restored content mod? I vaguely remember it being available on steam workshop.
Yeah this is all I want. I can barely afford to eat normally right now, if this got priced reasonably I'd be all over it.
Oh man, just made my own comment on black and white, and I assumed I was the only one. Black & White 2 is still the best God game out there for me and it was so much fun.
A bit of an obscurer one, but I would love another Black & White, based on Black & White 2. It's a god game where you control a giant bipedal creature, control a city (or several) and battle against other gods through architecture and combat. You can train your creature to do things you prefer and expand your influence however you like.
It had a good/evil morality system, is completely winnable by being a pacifist, and has a really cute style of humor.
No other God game has quite scratched that itch and it's still fun to this day almost 20 years later.
It definitely got better, but can still be buggy. You can also pretty much guarantee there will be some bigass bugs when the new DLC comes out, it's the Owlcat way.
I'd say the actual quality doesn't take a nosedive anymore, the game is pretty consistently fun from start to finish. The beginning definitely has more going on though.
Vermintide is a lot of fun. The total war Warhammer games are pretty good.
My personal favorite (as an RPG fan) is Rogue Trader (40k) by Owlcat Games. Game is superbly written and the combat and world is pretty fun too. If you hate CRPGs, stay away though. This game really showed me the secret sauce Warhammer 40k has going for it.
I'm excited as hell for space marine 2. We'll see how that goes.
Anything above basic content in 14 (which is lowest common denominator content) can honestly be quite challenging, and savage and ultimate content is very very difficult content overall. It's all about how much time and effort you're willing to invest, the first 70 levels of content is pretty braindead so anyone can beat it.
Curious if elder scrolls online is similar because I honestly don't know, haven't played it in a decade.
It's a pretty fun story focused game. The visual quality can be quite astounding, especially really nice facial animations. The combat is nothing terribly special, but it's serviceable to get you to the next cutscene which are, on a whole, really good and well written.
It's also got a myriad of points where the game essentially tests you to choose the right dialogue and choices to get better outcomes. Its actually a pretty fun "choice" based game where there is just enough reactivity in the game to your dialogue that you think about what you are saying before you pick it.
On the whole, I have only fond memories of the game. It's worth this sale price at 11.99 IMO.
Slightly off-topic: might be alone in this, but I actually really enjoyed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It's nice, self-contained, has some fun action, some cool scenes, and it turned me on to Jake Gyllenhaal and I've liked his work ever since. It's Generic and schlocky but it's better than the usual videogame movie garbo.
It fits nicely into that B-movie slot IMO.
