Biggest problem with loot in open world games: Completely linear progression ( when it comes to "stats")...unlike more linear Arpg's (like Diablo/PoE...), OW rpgs cannot provide consistent increase in challenge (with as wide variety of different enemy types) proportional to loot/player...

Well, I've stumbled on this: http://neuro.portalseeker.com/weapons.pdf. Loads of weapons, scroll all the way down, even got "Bioware combat tail"...whatever those are( kick someone and turn'em into potential romance option, eh? :P). 2077, body armor, robots/androids, melee may-be only viable...

For all weapons...let's face it, TPS mechanics won't be as good as in top tier games of the genre( for the most part, all are entirely focused on combat/encounters), but adding different "move sets" for each playstyle, this could be something very interesting that would make it stand out. Dual...

Seriously folks, they'd need ten times the size of their team for all of this...Martial arts here, the way I see it, should be brutal and efficient, especially when you have only a split second in a gunfight. From my own experience: Thai boxing for kicks/punches, Aikido for disarming and...

There was some mention of "leak" apparently on neogaf, but nothing really confirmed, if I gots it right. It didn't go further than that, only that the source has "info". And works as personal advisor for Donald Trump. :P Was kinda hoping for one central station ( like in Bloodlines) and few...

Going through Mafia I ( for first time) right now. Will post my impressions when finished, but so far feels good. Really different. Nothing is spelled out for you...no markers, no glowing objects or any modern "innovations". Like the mission I just finished. Had to save a fellow brother in...

That too. Always trying to grab onto something with my right hand. :p

Build a pc. I did it first time (for the Witcher III actually)...it's sort of fun and you learn a lot about tech along the way. Take it slowly and depending on where you're from, look on great offers from respectable stores...starting with the case, psu, ( longest lasting components), HDD/SDD...

This feels like being stuck on a planet filled with all sorts of weird aliens and your universal translator isn't working. :P Ok, I'm done in this thread. Farewell, my fellow aliens: :welcome:

That really, really is a massive oversimplification of their game mechanics across the board...and same could be even more be said for recent crpg's like Pillars/DOS/Wasteland II or when comparing all the other crpg's from Infinity era. No...combat based on mechanics from action games does not...

I disagree... Fallout IV received massive amount of criticism precisely for removing those elements. Honestly, I think a lot of "rpg veterans" suffer a bit from elitist attitude next to fans of other genres and too quickly call out for "dumbing down" . I don't see why more "wider" player base...

Err...no. Consistency and cohesion when it comes to world design are abysmal in all of Bethesda games. From mini "cities" that exist with no water or food supply without districts that indicate any kind of segregation, to poor environment transition and even worse designed ecology, to illogical...

That would imo, be a recipe for disaster...one should take priority over the other, early action rpg's been poor and have moved away from rpg mechanics for not realizing this. A shame because it can make game more satisfying even on the "action part"...ironically, this was done a lot better (...

Why exactly, if you don't mind me asking? I don't see why some people see here more action oriented combat here as some kind of immediate catastrophe...it's fairly obvious what pro's and cons there are to each approach. And since CDPR is creating AAA title, it's production values are better...

Eh, no. Animations, hit reactions, AI...all poor, doesn't matter if it's an rpg. If they add "powers", Vanquish ( I think I mentioned this before :P) is a lesson-to-be-learned for all developers on how to tie them with shooting/movement mechanics instead of generic bind it to keys and spam...

Yes, but that results in spreadsheets more than characters. Ideally, I'd like to see more of these types of characters added to the game, strictly for ambiance and dialogue, non quest related...like Jules from Fallout II, to provide directions, clue in the player on potential quests and other...

That would be different...most people would have no problems with rpg limitations if they're logically implemented. Not strong enough to carry a rocket launcher? Don't complain if your aim is shaking then. But missing an opponent with a shotgun at point blank, because you lack "skill"...that's a...

Everyone babbling their personal problems/merital issues and so on to a random stranger is precisely what kills the immersion. Novigrad, Beauclaire, or any city in GTA feels more believable, immersive and alive than city in TES or Fallout...even if you can't grab every object or talk with every...

Instead of complaining, I'm really curious how would you guys then design turn based combat system( that people would enjoy) in third person perspective? I can guarantee you that not a single person even on Codex was singing praises of combat in Alpha Protocol, no matter how "unique" and more...

Anyone know any good books or movies on this, recently? In either case, I think "Evil AI" or humanizing it entirely, has become a bit stale, and I'd like to see CDPR play things a bit differently. If they're planning CP as a long term series, take it one step at a time and see it evolve and...
