  • As someone who loves JRPGs as a genre but has generally grown out of their anime phase, Expedition 33 looks really interesting. I’ve been eyeing it since the announcement trailer and its recent success got me curious. A co-worker told me that it’s just 20-30 hours to beat, which is a huge plus for me (don’t have the patience to clear 100-200 hrs games anymore - looking at you, Persona 5).

    I’ll probably get it this summer as soon as I manage to get some free time from work.








  • Welcome to the club!

    I watched tOW after stumbling randomly on a fanart of King and thinking he was really cute lol
    At the time, I certainly didn’t expect this series to take such a big place in my heart. We’re so lucky that Mark has taken upon himself to keep it going after its untimely end!
    (And also, big thanks again to LolaCat for keeping us all updated. I always feel I don’t thank you enough for everything you do for this wonderful community. There were just a few of us in the beginning! It’s so heart warming having people stumble on Mark’s comics and getting to know the series thanks to you!)


  • I don’t know if you’re asking sarcastically or not, but I’d mention Divinity 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, Witcher 3, and those are just the most popular/universally acclaimed. I feel all three of them offer the same sense of adventure and exploration in an open world map, with actually interesting side content, engaging combat system, and voice acting that doesn’t scream “we’re being held in the recording room against our will, please save us”. They are also relatively bug-free, or at least not broken the way Bethesda titles are.

    Back in the days, I think Gothic had the same clunky gameplay but at least offered a much deeper worldbuilding and more interesting choices.

    You can also widen the search by changing the parameters. The thing that sets Oblivion apart is that it attempted to do a lot of things, but everything is either shallow, poorly executed, or outright bugged. If you take a look at other titles that did some of the things Oblivion did, there are countless that executed those ideas a lot better. Fable 2, Dragon Age, Avowed for example, and again, I’m only mentioning the most famous ones.
