Besides the Square Enix promo, tried a few new games from GoG, thought I'd throw in some bits.

Wasteland 2 is great. Combat feels like a less stressful version of the original fallout, allowing up to 6 or 7(!) party members at once. The skill selection is huge, and since they involve multiple types of persuasion, you can allocate them to different party members instead of being stuck with filling up one. Graphics is not perfect - it's running off the Unity Engine and isn't exactly gorgeous, but it works well enough. They have enough unique enemies and encounters that the graphics don't put me off much.

Also, the item descriptions are godlike.

Deadly Premonition was a pleasant surprise I bought on impulse. The voice acting is superb, the story's certainly unique. The setting is likely inspired by Twin Peaks or maybe Stephen King novels? Gameplay can be clunky, but I'd say less so than some of the older resident evil games. A lot of what would make people put it in the "so bad it's good" category probably comes down to the graphical budget with weird animations(York's Creepy Smile will be embedded in my head forever), and the very bizarro dialogue from the far more bizarro characters.

My biggest complaint is very simple - the PC port can screw up the save and break the game. I got to the end of Chapter 8 and that was it. Only seems to screw up on saving, not on playing by itself. I may eventually go back and record a marathon of it or something.

Interesting, they usually don't have straight-up arcadey NES titles, though Steam covers that a bit.

Finished Wasteland 2, I'd highly recommend the game - all of the combat frustrations from the original 2 Fallouts are practically a thing of the past, I'd say they nailed it on the head. A lot of the skill limitations are also thrown out the window, since having 7 members(4 being Desert Rangers) means the points can be evenly distributed. The storyline fits in well with the first - doesn't necessarily top Fallout 1 or 2 on that mark, but the satisfaction from all the side quest-y stuff hardly gave me reason to complain.

It's a magnificent Role-Playing Game.

Pillars of Eternity gets released March 26th as well. Good time to be a nerd.

I'll just chime in that Wasteland 2 is effectively IWD in terms of how it handles the PC and main party, which may be a deal breaker for some people. 

[Dominus]

Never played IWD, but it definitely differs from both the fallout games and the original Wasteland. At least out of combat, you're in control of everyone at once instead of just being the one guy/girl running around with potential followers. It definitely comes in handy if you need to set up your character positions before a battle. I usually throw Shotgun/Revolver users in front, Rifles in the back. Melee is handy, but I typically keep it as an alternative rather than a main weapon.

Skills(besides weaponry) I would highly reccomend picking up:

• Lockpicking
• Field Medic
• Surgeon
• Brute Force
• Weaponsmithing

It's also a good idea to split up Smart A, Kiss A, and Hard A between 3 of your main characters, or at least grab one. One of the extra companions about 1/3 through the game is pretty high in Smart A.

Overlord is on that list as well, it's great as a guilty pleasure. Far from perfect, but it's not a bad choice if you want to get your muhahahaha evil on. The mechanics lie somewhere between Pikmin, Legend of Zelda, with a little bit of castle construction. Sort of what Inquisition has?
