This week Mike returns form his dental horror and plays Double Fines new offering. Kieran gets silly with the Saints in Saints Row 4 and Paul gets all stealthy in Dark, the vampire stealth game. The guys also talk about some more tabletop games before this weekends games day.
Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.
Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
During the Humble Bundle RPG Sale, you can get up to 90% off on any game from the great selection of RPG titles that Humble has to offer.
The Wasteland 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance complete editions are a steal at those prices. Fantastic RPGs with a lot of content.
Greedfall is easily one of the best "diablo clones" on the market, and it's dirt cheap for the base games. Their lengthy expansions are still kind of pricey though.
Vampyr is a great mention, but it's already offered on certain subscription services, and can be found cheaper either way.
One more personal recommendation of mine is Elex. A lot of player agency in the story and quests, and the world is very interesting to explore. Just don't expect the best combat, and there's definite jank to be had.
Unless I'm thinking of the wrong game greedfall is not a diablo clone. It's more like a old bioware rpg
Lol
You're right. That's my bad. I do like Greedfall though.
I meant to say Grimdawn.
One of those two word, one syllable brainfarts.
Assassins creed odyssey at $15? Worth it?
Does it take lots of grinding to experience the story ?
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
