lol the monsters flying off in the sky is dead funny. Looks like another game where high CPU speed makes physics calculations go wild.

[@doltBmB]

Usually it's because the ragdoll is set up improperly and when it takes over from the regular animation there's a bunch of clipping and strained constraints, which makes the physics add a lot of force to un-clip and un-strain it, all that force sends everything flying. If the ragdoll was configured to match the animations better it wouldn't happen.

I got pulled to and inside of him. After it happened each time I could no longer attack and none of the AI reacted anymore, it's like I just wasn't there or I was actually eaten by the ogre and they were waiting on him to shit me out.

It's still in Beta and he doesn't like doing beta games, more full release. It's gameplay I think is better than Baldurs gate 3 which is very similar. Both turn based, uses DND 5.0 ruleset (I like 3.5, there's less options in 5.0 for character creation, but that's my personal opinion), Baldurs gate looks prettier but there's nothing wrong with Solasta. The story is a more traditional old school fare, nothing spectacular but does the job, similar I guess to Dragon age. You can assemble your own party of four characters however you want, want a party of all mages or rogues, you can do that, mix and match how you like. It's ok, There's balancing issues if you min max last time I played which was a while ago, I'm personally waiting for full release, but I have played it.

The ragdolls are definitely the highlight of all this footage. As for animation lock, I somewhat disagree. I think Nioh did a great approach: You have basic attacks with no animation lock and special combos/skills with animation lock. But the game does 2 things to make animation lock acceptable: 1. The skills are much stronger than regular attacks, and most have extra properties other than simply doing more damage than regular hits. 2. The game itself gives you opportunities to use these skills without fear of eating damage due to animation lock, either by making enemies easily 'staggerable' (is this even a word?), allowing you to stun or knock them down onto the ground so you can use these skills with impunity and so on.

You stand next to the flaming sword and gain “warmth” then you can walk across the ice.

"This pile of fucking shite oh by the way thanks for the key" 🤣🤣

[@Extiiinct]

I took a look at this game before your review came out and you have basically put into words what I was thinking in my head.

[@nicccandussi865]

Im really sad about how this turned out. Was hoping to relive memories with my brother from like twenty years ago. Fuck this.

[@aquaman839]

Its interesting that the franchise that is synonymous with rpg can't make an rpg. I forgot how many dd games I've seen made that are duds

[@BBIAJ]

The frost killed you because you didn't stand next to the flaming sword to take on the Warmth status, thus providing you resistance to the cold.

[@YouRSmalltime]

They did this franchise dirty. Another reviewer played some of the sounds and they sound like amateur unity asset stuff. The particle effects look so over the top but remain generic. The characters just look off...I'm so disappointed they ruined a DnD game.

[@KubratTomov]

Do you guys remember what a true D&D is? Baldur's Gate i & II. Yes, i'm still playing it. There objective criteria of quality, despite one's taste. Baldus'r Gate is a fundament, a cornerstone.

[@antoniusmaximus3174]

There is no substitute for the Pen and Paper game old school D&D is where D&D should stay.

[@fogwat]

I preordered this for the PS4 only to find that the quest for Crenshinibon "The Crystal Shard" had become the quest for "The Crystal Shart".

[@Aknayelth]

Why you did that wtf, this shite is free on gamepass = 90% of change of being bad

[@Billinous]

I knew this one would turn out like this just by watching the 2019 trailer. Abysmal!

[@skyesfury8511]

4:04 I've heard of "Punt a Gnome", but I've never seen anyone playing "Launch a Dwarf". How can you say this is a bad game when you get to launch a dwarf into the stratosphere?! This game had so much potential. I hope they can clean up the mess and make a comeback. Would really love to see more "Left4Dead" genre games set in medieval high fantasy, but the games need to be actually good for that to happen.

[@unstableordinance]

try kicking people in Dark Messiah of might and magic to get the same effect lol

[@MondoMurderface]

This is what you get when game developers use Twitch streamers as their target audience. Brain dead design that a monkey or DSP can figure out.

Welcome to the world of AGILE project management in game development.

[@emanuelmayer]

it looks and feels like a mobile game from your video o_O thank you for saving me time and money (again!!)

[@akosfarkas1159]

This is end of June 2021 right now and I still play only 3 games. Bannerlord (with mods), Valheim, and 7 days to die. That's it. I don't even get slightly exited when I see any new "big games" rolling out. The only thing I really want try out is Manor Lords, and that's it.

[@IamMortui]

The ragdolls look hilarious getting skyrocketed when they die.
