Still live on the German App Store … for now …
Well it seems my timing was just impeccable as always. The game HAD been gone for about a week. I checked multiple times as there’s other reports of this on other places.
Glad to see it’s back.

Dire Wolf working on a few diggies:

Plus Dune: Imperium
(From their website news section)
And when asked on their discord at least about mobile ports of Clank and Dune:
“Yes we expect them both to be on mobile at some point”.
Excite.

Ooo I like Ark Nova on BGA despite not having a single goddamn clue what I’m doing!
That’s amazing news from Dire Wolf for sure.

The trailer seems nice, but trailers aren’t a good measure anymore (if they were ever)
I might be more interested in this than BB. The setting and style wasn’tz for me, but since it seems the devs have their shit together based on the general consensus around BB (aside from the 2304398477 DLCs) I am mildly hopeful.
But who am I kidding…I still need to play trough Warhammer 40.000 Chaos Gate Daemonhunters first (and XCOM 2 for real) before I need a another real Sci-fi TRPG in my live…
…and the soon™ release of Rogue Trader is ever looming as well…

So, I have started to develop a habit of refunding games….
If I get a game and don’t get hooked enough for the 5 hours within the first two weeks, I hit the refund button on steam.
Otherwise I tend to get really stressed. I have the same with battle pass / season content - I was all keen for D4 season 1… created a toon and then…. Didn’t get it past level 3. I just can’t seem to do it.
This quarter my TCG of choice is Pokémon live - so will see how that goes

Same, but with BG3. Everyone hyped it so much that I grabbed on Steam, but it’s not clicking for me. Maybe it’ll play better on Xbox when it releases there, but for now it’s a refund for me dawg.
I realised I didn’t write the game I refunded…. It was BG3 as well

I played them both, plus ice wind dale.
I finished BG2 and throne of Baal, and got a long way in the first and ice wind dales.
Pathfinder - Wrath was good but I think I capped out in act 3.
Maybe I just don’t like the combat?
Yes and enjoyed them both, not sure what it was about this one. I’ll try it again on Xbox, maybe it was the MacBook as an interface?
BG1 and BG2 are two of my faves of all-time, so I’ll be very interested to hear any other impressions on 3. I haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet, mainly because I don’t currently have time to play it. Of course, adding mods to BG2 was one of the things that made it such a long-lasting fave for me, and it will be a while before that’s a possible for the new one.

I’m absolutely loving BG3, but aside from the ruleset being D£D, it feels way more like Divinity: Original Sin than the older Bioware RPGs. I loved Divinity so I don’t really have a problem with that.

BG3 has critical acclaim from reviewers and the public. It’s supposed to have raised the bar, not only for RPGs, but for AAA games in general.
That being said, there has been some criticism about the turn based combat, specially from players who like to save and reload. The game is based on turn based combat, but when you save and reload then it becomes gruelling.

What do you mean by that?
(I have not bought the game yet, I am still traveling for another month most of the time, but will eventually.)

It sounds like it is becoming common practice to reload after every bad decision or bad move.
So, because d&d is a dice based system, we all know how fickle dice can be, some people have taken to saving before every encounter and reloading if they get a dice roll they don’t like. This slows down the game, then they complain about the pacing of the game, when they’re doing it to themselves.
I don’t know if the game particularly lends itself to this type of play, or if it’s just a subset of gamers who are playing this way.

It’s absolutely no different that hit chance, etc, in other CRPGs, save scummers are just being babies about it because it’s so visible that you’ve done something wrong with a huge die rolling on the screen and takes a good half-minute or longer to load a save because the game is gigantic.
