ArbitraryWater posted a message in the forum topic Here it is again: NEED A NEW RPG. on the General Discussion board May 14, 9:08am

If you’ve played Serpent in the Staglands and Pillars, you’re probably good to try out any of the Infinity Engine RPGs (Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape.) They’re a little rough around the edge...

ArbitraryWater posted a message in the forum topic May Millennials 2: Severance: Blade of Darkness (Intro). on the Blade of Darkness board May 12, 12:45pm

This is definitely a fisk0 sort of game, because while I do own this I’ve never put much time into it and mix it up with Die by the Sword in my head. Something about using keyboard controls for involv...

ArbitraryWater posted a message in the forum topic Rage 2 won't have 4k on enhanced consoles, does that matter to you?. on the Rage 2 board May 5, 11:08pm

If I'm forced to make any sort of trade-off between resolution and frame rate, I'm always going to go for the higher frame rate unless it's super inconsistent. I think frames per second tend to have a...

ArbitraryWater posted a new blog. May 5, 10:10am

I played some games containing the word "Shock" and the Number 2 (and other good uses of time and money)

It only took 5 months, but I finally mustered enough willpower to start long-form writing about video games again after a combination of a capstone paper and two back-to-back Game of the Year blogs ru...

ArbitraryWater posted a message in the forum topic May Millennials 1: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (Intro). on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords board May 2, 2:48pm

I've definitely come around on KOTOR 2 after being profoundly disappointed with it as a youth. As someone who wanted a sequel to the 2003 Bioware RPG titled Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, it'...

ArbitraryWater posted a message in the forum topic Bucketlog April: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies. on the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies board May 1, 4:29pm

Dual Destinies was exciting for me, as someone who didn't much care for Apollo Justice and thought the first Edgeworth game was merely okay. I do think both DD and Spirit of Justice suffer from trying...

ArbitraryWater posted a message in the forum topic The trailer for "Sonic the Hedgehog" is here and looks even worse than you already thought it did. on the Sonic the Hedgehog board Apr 30, 2:37pm

Well, it turns out Sonic looks just as much like an unholy nightmare in motion as he did in those leaked promotional bits. That said, I honestly don't mind Jim Carey very much channeling that 90s Jim ...

ArbitraryWater posted a message in the forum topic Avengers Endgame Discussion (Full Spoilers). on the Off-Topic board Apr 27, 5:41pm

As a ridiculous, hyper-indulgent celebration of the MCU and a send-off for the first 10 years, I really enjoyed it. I'm really not convinced they can ever top this in terms of sheer grandeur and ambit...

ArbitraryWater posted a message in the forum topic A random, which game should I play first poll.. on the General Discussion board Apr 24, 3:15pm

Thanks to the magic of switch ports, Dragon's Dogma is a hot discussion topic these days. If you want to feel like you're still in the zeitgeist for a 7-year-old game, now is the time. Have I ever ta...

ArbitraryWater posted a message on the post Unlimited Saga is barely a game.. Apr 20, 6:57pm

I think it's telling that I was more baffled and horrified whenever I glanced over at your stream than I was watching ZombiePie play the dark true ending of the pigeon dating game. You're a hero for d...

This was a lot of fun, and I'd love to see more playdates like this in the future.

ArbitraryWater posted May 19, 4:13am

I was going to write a blog on Kingdom Hearts 2. Then Kingdom Hearts 3 happened and I had so much more material.

ArbitraryWater posted a message in the forum topic What games do you feel were treated unfairly upon release?. on the General Discussion board Apr 15, 11:54am

I've always felt that the 2014 Thief reboot got a bad rap. You can tell it had a messy development with a bunch of discordant ideas, its tone is some dour, grimdark nonsense, but it's also a decent s...
