I had 4$ left in my PSN Wallet so I said fuck it lol

 

[ratcliffja]

PoE is straight up Baldur's Gate 2 with different ruleset, isn't it? Holy crap did they just make one of those games (and that's awesome).



I prefer Dr. Octagon, but Black Elvis is probably his second best album, yeah.

I really couldn't get into Baldur's Gate. I bought it thinking it would be like Diablo and just kept dying over and over again. I even used cheats and still got destroyed.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I've only just realised how far behind I am on my giantbomb content, it feels wrong not being able to keep up with the content.

Well, that's your problem right there! It's almost like buying Arma thinking it's like COD. BG2 is probably my all time favourite game, so I really like the look of PoE!

 

[Anjin M]

But there is some dope chanting.

Dope as that hunkadunk!

plz stop calling it bloodbourne

Please. Don't let's not make Jimmy mad.

sorry, blooborn.

Why did they have to close that thread?!? I was going to call that guy a fetus!

Not even for two dollars.

yeah! I had $5 left after the sales last week

no ragrets

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Yes @ some Kool Keith stuff being crappy but the stuff that's good is legit GOAT material.

Also gonna throw Deltron 3030 out there as a solid hip hop/rap album that's raw as hell. And that last CunninLynguists album is strong as hell, too.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Yup, PoE looks really good. Already got it preloaded, i'm making a cipher. Cipher seems cool.

 

[soundscream]

90s?

try 80s

and get off MY lawn

Its cyclical

70's rock > pop
80's pop > rock/rap
90's rock/rap > pop
00's pop > rock/rap
10's nobody wins

 

[daydream]

That's something he cares enough about to mention it on mixlr. And he has been asking for amiga 2600 recommendations. Good detective work! (if you're correct)

Thanks, Amiga 2600 is my favourite bootleg PC.

Spoiler

There's Amiga 500/600/1000/1200/4000/CD32 but 2600 was Atari~

 

[Megasoum]

Looks like they already fixed it so we got in on time!

Play the game first before saying that.

Yeah they're not even remotely the same kind of game, but its easy to make that mistake since they share similar tones and artstyle.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

because kb&m controls dont work well with my PC being hooked up to my TV, I've actually been waiting for the BG games to get cheap on the ipad so i can play them there.

I know, this makes me some sort of devil kisser or something but i just know what i like.

no.

PoE is straight up Baldur's Gate 2 with different ruleset, isn't it? Holy crap did they just make one of those games (and that's awesome).

Depending on how broadly you define ruleset, yeah. There's other things different, such as how combat no longer grants XP.

I'm surprised you didn't already know that. It was like the main selling point of the Kickstarter.

No, but the controls are not terrific on iOS. They're serviceable, but it's clear that the game was designed for a mouse and keyboard.

Honestly, I was surprised to find that the KOTOR controls on the iPad felt better.

As long as they've made some smart changes to the interface, I think the BG series will play well on a touch screen. Since it's made to be paused at any time you don't really need any kind of precision.

Oh don't get me wrong, I knew they were making an Infinity Engine style game. But I rarely follow preview material for games I want to play so I didn't realise just how far they went in that direction. Watching the QL it's insane how many details are similar just by how it looks. Not complaining of course.

should have set that 2$ on fire

would have probably been a better experience

haha, shows how much I could use an educational stream

 

[RepairmanJack]

There needs to be a way to differentiate Pillars of Eternity from Path of Exile. Path of Exile is all I ever think of when I see PoE and it takes me a minute to realize that game hasn't had a sudden resurgence.

We'll call Pillars of Eternity E Pills

"you getting down with E pills tonight bro?"

"hell yea bro"

 

[Megasoum]

no.

Hah, I actually played a couple of hours of that game and loved it. It just gets very repetitive at some point.

Yeah I know that was my mistake, but I think that kind of game just isn't for me. Everybody dies way too easily and I had no idea how to get started. Dark Alliance was pretty great, though.

^ knows what's up

I almost bought Syphon Filter 3 with that money

I think I made the right move here, tyvm

The drug of the future. Fuck these E-Cigs! Just wait for the E-Pills!

Or you can buy two things from the McDonalds dollar menu.

I feel like this is appropriate here.

This guy knows the score. Console ARPGs were awesome.

work bought us lunch today! so really I'm having a good day all around.

 

[Servbot #42]

I wonder if Jeff is gonna feel left out of the Bloodborne conversation since everyone is playing that right now, i just don't see him liking Bloodborne which is a fucking shame because i bet his stories would be amazing.

 

[Mully]

Jeff's always done his own thing. I want to see more NeoGeo stuff.

 

[funkystudent]

I wonder if Jeff is gonna feel left out of the Bloodborne conversation since everyone is playing that right now, i just don't see him liking Bloodborne which is a fucking shame because i bet his stories would be amazing.

Jeff hates a lot of games a lot of people like. I assume he is just use to it at this point.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Oh man PoE looks pretty good. Was never interested in those other D&D type games and learning those, but this looks more like a typical RPG battle system which I could get way into.

work bought us lunch today! so really I'm having a good day all around.

So jealous.

Then again I work in a Middle Eastern resturaunt so I really shouldn't be complaining.

 

[shwimpy]

Did they announce what the livestream for today and tomorrow will be?

 

[robotrock]

I would be interested in hearing Vinny's thoughts on Bloodborne.

 

[Frenden]

Alex and Vinny quicklooks are becoming my favorite quicklooks.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Did they announce what the livestream for today and tomorrow will be?

They're going to try to get Dan to eat mayo. It's a 2 day livestream.

 

[justjim89]

Pillars of Eternity definitely looks a little more accessible and modernized than Baldur's Gate II. I try every few months to get into it and between the graphics and the interface I just can't wrap my head around it. I might bite the bullet on PoE, though.

I think he mentioned borrowing a copy when one of the others was done, so he's not in a hurry. Might be funny if it finally hooks him. But it's more likely to reaffirm his taste in the series.

PoE looks so much like a Baldur's Gate III, right down to the cursor. So weird! Lucky for me, I have far too many games in the backlog to worry about buying Pillars.

 

[Brashnir]

I really couldn't get into Baldur's Gate. I bought it thinking it would be like Diablo and just kept dying over and over again. I even used cheats and still got destroyed.

Play the Baldur's Gateark Alliance games sometime. They are like Diablo.

Edit - Nevermind, looks like you already did. Play Champions of Norrath too. It's even better.

 

[Anjin M]

I really like the one-screen inventory for PoE. Nice idea!

Torchlight turned into a pretty good Dark Alliance-style game on consoles. I played through the whole thing again on 360.

Vinny continually proving he's the greatest by wanting to pick an Elliott Smith album as his desert island choice.

Rorie's doing a great job on this QL. Showing off areas, mechanics, and comparing them to other games of its type like BG, while still keeping the video entertaining.

 

[Felix Lighter]

If it wasn't for Pillars of Eternity, I would have caved on buying a PS4 and Bloodborne when it launched but since I had PoE to look forward to, I was able to resist.

Rorie always does a good job. He just has one problem habit, he starts explaining a thought and interrupts himself and never goes back to it.

that's because Rorie is awesome and anybody that thinks otherwise probably kicks puppies

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I'm the opposite. I backed Eternity, have two copies but I can wait on it. I'm a little peeved at the last-minute shipping changes Obsidian made which could mean I get taxed twice on the physical stuff. So I sold my main key to a gaffer and I'll wait for my disc.

Bloodborne takes precedence and that game is more about the 'Zeitgeist' in my view.

Time to fire 'er up!

 

[daydream]

rorie is the best

but

if a puppy came at me, i would kick it into orbit, chie-style

 

[skLaFarebear]

He really gets absorbed into the action of the game so I'm not surprised. Probably super hard to talk and play a game like this especially.

Rorie is awesome.

I've almost kicked a puppy before.
