Someone was able to instantly nuke a late game boss in Baldur’s Gate 3 by using a weapon that has an affix called “Blood Money” that deals weapon damage + 4 piercing damage for every 300 gold the target has.

Games as a service gets a lot of flak (for good reason), but this is one of the cooler ideas for it: someone internally acting as a shadow DM for the game’s galactic enemy factions - picking which planets or systems to invade.
'We have an actual person with the title of Game Master': A single Helldivers 2 dev named Joel is pulling the strings on its galactic war like an all-powerful D&D dungeon master, war will become 'more and more sophisticated over time.'

A lot of people found the tone frustrating, but honestly I just find it refreshing whenever a dev gets to speak without it being filtered through several layers of softening PR language.

The Helldivers 2 dev who got downvoted to oblivion is right: We need to chill out about balance in a 4-week-old game.

Part of why Baldur’s Gate 3 has done so well is that this is a genre that used to be popular but has long since been left fairly dry. Studios like BioWare moved onto doing live service games like Anthem, but the craving for good CRPGs still exists.

Larian honed in the combat to be the most in-depth, freeform turn-based combat seen in an D&D-style RPG.
Dividing up resources and time for a lesser system would have been detrimental for a game that threaded the difficult needle between immense scale and handcrafted encounters.
Hot take: Larian should add real-time combat to Baldur's Gate 3, Take all the profit from the game and make it an option, I'd pay money for that as a DLC, A huge amount of players including myself who want to get into the game cannot due to turn based
They'd prob triple their

I totally understand why people don’t like it, but the kind of sickly green palette that Fallout 3 uses worked great for its horror sequences and DLC. The shadows and lighting on the mutants in Point Lookout and the Pitt just make them look so unsettling. Horror film palettes.
The dlc to fallout 3 is so good though. You’ve got these wrong turn fuckers in point lookout, and then like everything about the Pitt was amazing.

A while back, a fairly large channel accused us of having a slow default movement speed in order to “waste the 2 hour refund window.”
The reason you don’t move at DUSK’s speed in Gloomwood is because we wanted players to tread carefully as they couldn’t easily outrun threats.
Taking time this evening to write about Dragon's Dogma 2. It's a miracle this game exists. An astounding work!
But I think 2024 is a ~terrible~ year for such a friction heavy game to reach a mass audience.

During the Unity debacle, I said “you shouldn’t trust any third party corporation” and people said “no, Epic isn’t like that.”
So I repeat: you shouldn’t trust any corporation. Not Unity, not Valve, not Epic.
When the chips are down, they won’t be there for you.
Epic is selling Bandcamp to Songtrdr, a licensing and distribution platform that charges both musicians and licensors a monthly fee.
Somehow, despite the money flowing in from both ends, the sluggish revenue and path to profit has delayed their IPO goals in the AU market. 🙃
