It's Chewsday, innit?

What Remains got C&D just plain out of nowhere As far as I know, it was pretty low-profile, but I wasn't registered at the time, so perhaps someone else could shed some more light on it?

More like a garbage take, especially the part where you said that they probably would had done it in 3D, and that these 'limitations' held them back. Reeks very much like the arguments saying how they were turn-based because of (((((((limitations))))))) On a more serious note, it isn't about...

Is it a mere coincidence that 'Turn-based' has 'Based' in its name?

Alright, that's fair. But still...despite the developer's claim in the description of their games, the fact that several gameplay features that existed in their games means they're, by all means, a modern iteration of those so-called old school designs. I'm not sure if that's the exact same as...

Yes? Because other than the obvious date of release, I'm pretty sure Cleve adds and improves upon the designs of the older games it was obviously inspired from. Because otherwise, what's the point of making a *new* game, but with the exact same gameplay mechanics as the older ones but different...

Alright, then, what would be your personal criteria of what makes a 'modern' cRPG, other than date of release? Was it some specific design choices and decisions? I have a feeling that pursuing down this train of discussion might end up with, "old is better, new is shit", which was what this...

Isn't 'holding your hand' in context of video games was more of the developers doing something under the hood to ensure the player's utmost comfortable experience, i.e having the AIs intentionally mess up albeit in not-so-obvious ways to let players some easy wins, or something along those...

Well, there's still not that much cRPGs released in the last 5 years, and when compared to Wasteland 2 and Pillars of Eternity 1, Underrail's definitely more 'modern' if we go by the chronological releases. And since the game is deeply inspired by older cRPGs like Fallout and Arcanum, then...

And here I thought this is a thread actually criticizing Fallout 3, for all or some more of the stupid shit I may or may not have missed. You know, what Fallout: Washington DC is actually 'at its finest'. But nope, just a genuine attempt at trying to make it sound better than what one might...

Yeah, that's fair points, because if Bethesda/Zenimax *really* wants to put a dirt in Obsidian's eye, they probably would go to the length they've gone to when they maneuvered around with Interplay for the Fallout IP, or even (and this is something that I read/watched a video of some few years...

I haven't actually played the demo at all, but just looking from their updates they changed the gameplay together *with* the artstyle changes. But in the last few months or so they've kinda finalized the gameplay, and from what the Codexers who do played the demo has to say, it wasn't...

Ah, that's all fair, but tbh MCA was kinda notorious even among the Codexers as being severely self-deprecating, way past beyond the point of being mere humble. Not sure how he's doing nowadays, though, the last MeToo debacles that he was drowned in kinda put him away in my blind spot.

I agree with what you're saying in general, but this tidbit here, where and when did he says anything like this? I was following news regarding MCA quite closely, up until the middle of his May of Rage in that legendary Codex thread, and then some real life stuff caught me up so I can't keep...

Yeah, the troubled development basically sealed this project's fate. In the Codex, it has been meme'd that their every updates are basically them changing their art style and assets over and over again, in addition to also changing their gameplay and UI. What came out recently, at this point, is...

Have you tried the expansion? Nowadays, DC is pretty tame, you only really need to backtrack once to the power station (though it would be still preferable not to backtrack at all, since the dungeon's design is a bit terrible). The Black Sea, though, wooooo man, the Deep Caverns is pretty much...

Unfortunately, a lot of things in the Expeditions are basically the mixed bags from the Deep Caverns, without any forms of alleviations that Deep Caverns has. DC might have respawns and swarms of trash mobs that might gather if let alone for too long, but at least in some places you could simply...

I still don't see anything that truly matters: the overhaul of RPG mechanics, to include the Stat-Skill-Perks(+Traits) GURPS-based system. Iirc, the 'other' project (Fallout 4: New Vegas) has those, unless I remembered it wrong. So what does this has over the other project, and what's the...
