I have Pillars sitting in my library. Is the combat still very RNG early on, and requiring a shitload of preparation (reading guides online for stat distribution, class choice, etc.) just for characters to even be viable? Wasteland 2 and Divinity (pre-enhanced) were really bad at that.

See I don't think it was ever like that. If anything it was criticized for basically any build being viable rather than needing to min/max. You can screw over some casting classes by taking worse spells I suppose, but on hard or less it shouldn't matter too much.

Maybe on Hard+?

I'd say only really Wasteland actually did what you're suggesting, with the first few levels being pretty brutal. Didn't notice much either way in Divinity and Pillars.

The melee class in Divinity was bad. Abilities had long cooldowns with absurdly low chances of hitting the enemy even with buffs. The magic class was able to do AOE, but very little damage per actual enemy. But this was at launch, and I played the game at least halfway if not moreso.

See I don't think it was ever like that. If anything it was criticized for basically any build being viable rather than needing to min/max. You can screw over some casting classes by taking worse spells I suppose, but on hard or less it shouldn't matter too much.

Apologies, but I worded it wrong. I haven't started playing Pillars yet, I meant was it like other recent CRPGs where those qualities seemed present.

Oh, no. The old AD&D based games could be massively unforgiving if you didn't understand the underlying mechanics. Obsidian's combat mechanics are much more clear and beginner friendly. I didn't play much Wasteland 2 so I don't know much about that, but it's probably easier going than Divinity. You can hose yourself in that game pretty easily too, though usually more by going through wrong direction than anything.

Square-Enix releasing a region exclusive demo for FFXV...I mean, another dumb decision in their catalogue.
Is it region locked? If not i dont see the issue with a region specific demo
Ive got a jp account partially for yakuza demos :v

What's also to note is that Ngage version may as well be a different game. Different story, different gameplay (according to wikipedia).

There's no video of it on youtube. Just screenshots. That's how bad it is.
It does help the n-gage is not emulable.

So this is coming out shortly. Haven't heard any fanfare for it at all. I guess they expect the fans to lay the groundwork or something.


And there's also a bunch of new Gal Gun DLC coming out. That game is DOA5 tier of DLC. Wonder if there's people actually buying it.

The game is pretty bad and hella overpriced at 30. It's worth like 10 bucks at most. The song variety is lacking and the story mode are small individual Stories that don't amount to anything. You play one story mode, you've basically seen the entire game. Which only takes like 15 minutes. But repeat that for every character to see their 2 paragraphs of story.

This is the best song in the game, just let that sink in

Also every campaign basically repeats the same set list. It'll drive you crazy if you try to play a lot in one sitting.

Thanks for the input. I was actually considering grabbing it as I have a couple sacks of gems laying around, I'm just waiting for the right game to come out to cash them out. But it doesn't sound like this one will be popular & it's not fun to play.

All DLC and the game were supposed to come out 3 minutes ago.

Guess its a bug

So, is the King's Tale game something I should care about? That's the only pre-order bonus that actually appeals to me.

Loving Dishonored 2 so far. I have a very beefy machine so I'm not seeing any real significant performance issues. Certainly no crashes or anything.

It will probably sold on PSN/Live, no way SE created a game just to give it for free when pre-ordering: they know people want to buy everything related to FFXV, so they will sell it too.
