Who knew that a pretty decent adaptation of a fantasy book-slash-video-game-series means more players for the latter? The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt currently has more players on the PC Steam platform right now than it had on its 2015 launch day. It broke its own record of 92,000 with 94,000+ according to SteamDB and Steamcharts. That's higher than F2P ...
There's quite a number of isometric RPGs that attempt to capture the magic of table-top RPGs and one of them is Pathfinder: Kingmaker. A year after Kingmaker's release, developer Owlcat Games has just announced an indirect sequel with promises of fixing major flaws from the first game. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has just been announced b...
Imagine playing a CRPG that is almost totally devoid of combat and the encounters depends on dialogue and skill checks. On top of that, you plays as a detective who has multiple voices in his head. In case you couldn't guess, I'm talking about the recently released Disco Elysium. In a recent interview with the Escapist, ZA/UM lead designed Rober...
Update (29/8/19): Apparently, there's another accusation from another victim: vocalist Aeralie Brighton. The story is updated with these changes. Also, Jeremy Soule made a comment. Just like any burgeoning business, the games industry has its own deep dark secrets and horror stories. We've heard a lot about mismanagement, crunch periods, overt...
The strongest examples of "fine, I'll do it myself" are often found in the video game industry, specifically in the modding community. The Elder Scrolls Renewal: Skywind is the latest and possibly the most ambitious mod to ever appear in the history of The Elder Scrolls. The goal? A total recreation of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind built using t...
After seeing that pretty grotesque teaser trailer of a knight turning into a Dungeons & Dragons mind flayer, and a possible demonic invasion, most of us old-school CRPG players are psyched for Baldur's Gate III. Here's what we know about the upcoming game from developers Larian Studios, famous for the Divinity: Original Sin CRPGs. It Won't Con...
As it turns out, Fallout 76 is a mess of a game. While the idea's good on paper, the execution left a lot to be desired. After weeks of not saying much, Bethesda finally issued an official response in a form of a Reddit post. Technically, they did that yesterday but that Reddit thread was downvoted to heck. Apart from the usual "sorry we f***...
We do love the Fallout series, but we're not sure if Bethesda does. As much fun as Fallout 3 and 4 can get, they don't seem to capture the magic of the Fallout series back in 1997. For what truly is a Fallout game? How about we let the Last King Podcast boys remind you? Dr Shafique and our very own scribe Mr Toffee elucidate on what makes the Fa...
Obsidian Entertainment, the folks behind really fun-if-buggy experiences like Fallout: New Vegas and classic CRPG fares like the Pillars of Eternity series, may be backed by a bigtime publisher soon. Like, a REALLY big one. According to Kotaku sources, Microsoft is finalizing a deal to acquire the independent development studio. Sources close to b...
If you're an old-school CRPG fan back in the 90s and 2000s, the name Chris Avellone should be familiar to you. He's done the story and narrative for the best and/or memorable ones- Planescape: Torment, Alpha Protocol, Knights of the Old Republic 2, Fallout 2, and Fallout New Vegas. Those games were gripping and engrossing, bugs be damned, because o...
