IMPORTANT INFO FOR EARLY PLAYTESTING

This is the link to the tweet itself from the GreedFall account!

And then the link in the tweet leads to this google docs form, explaining rules and regulations for the playtest

I wish GreedFall had a glossary for local conlang, because with the pace I'm going through it, I forget all the terms of it.

Enjoying the game immensely. I run around with a local girl and an old priest in my party just for all the tea and wig snaching during the banter.

GreedFall 2 | Post Nacon Connect Spiders Live

Some important highlights:

We play as a native person of Tír Fradí, kidnapped and forcibly taken to the mainland continent of Gacane

There will be new factions introduced, as well as places we didn't learn about in the first game

We get party control!! Not turn-based combat, but we get more tactical control over our character and three companions. This was implemented from listening to player feedback from the first game

The world itself will be bigger, and both exploration and narrative are at the forefront of the experience

Early Access is happening! It is really important to the development team so they can gain feedback on how they're doing with a lot of big, new changes

Early Access will ONLY be available on Steam, though the full game will launch on consoles

There will be several phases of EA. The initial EA launch phase will allow access to the entire beginning of the game

Around 1/4 of the game may be available upon EA release

There will be updates at regular intervals, but save files WILL NOT be compatible between updates

This is their current roadmap of EA release

Character, skill set and talents will still be customisable!!

More small quests for each region will be implemented to add depth of gameplay and aid in telling the main story

The dev team REALLY wants valuable and constructive feedback for both story and gameplay elements while they are still in EA

Crafting systems will be included again, but not in EA

The team thinks of the game not as a sequel or prequel but as a new story set within the same world

There will be some (few) characters that we know from the first GreedFall, and perhaps some little clues and easter eggs to other characters we know

A camera mode may (hopefully!) be available in the full game

There is no final release date as of now (March, 2024)

Price at EA will be lower than full release price, but publishers do not have a set price yet

There will be more companion options AND romance options! 😍

There will be further announcements about gameplay coming as EA gets closer

Finally, making a second GreedFall game was easier for the team because of the communication they had with the community! Spiders Games and the devs really love the GreedFall world, and they appreciate how much we love it too ❤️

Greedfall

Greedfall is made by Spiders, and widely proclaimed as Spiders finally succeeded.

But that’s not true.  Spiders’ biggest problem is they want to reinvent the wheel.  But the problem with reinventing the wheels is that you don’t have to be as good as, you have to be better than the original wheel.

The wheel they are trying to reinvent is the RPG.

So, for the record, there is only one RPG that manages to make it to real-time.

And this isn’t it.  That RPG is Dragon’s Dogma.  Every - single - other RPG that tries to be real time completely fails at it.

Greedfall gives you stats, and fails at it.  It gives you skills and fails at it.  It gives talents, and fails at it.  What the tutorial thinks is a good idea is stopping in the middle of hand-to-hand combat to setup a beartrap to bypass an enemy’s armour.  It works as poorly as you expect, and only works as all because they dumbed down the enemy AI to make it slightly viable.

It creates a setting which everyone calls daring, but it’s boring and generic.  The only reason it has any value is you can apparently take the side of the people being colonized.

The problem, is this is a game.  Games have to be played.  You can make a wide variety of fun gameplay mechanics.  You can even make visual novels that require little interaction other than hitting a button to advance. But, if you add a gameplay mechanic, it has to be good.  This is the problem that Spdiers and Quantic Dream both have, they can’t for the life of them create good video game mechanics.

Quantic Dream has created a number of interesting premises for video games, but categorically refuses to make the gameplay playable.  Spiders constantly tries to reinvent the RPG combat wheel, and categorically fails at it.

Spiders’ Mars series is an incredibly interesting premise.  Mars was colonized, than some catastrophe happens, making it lose contact with Earth.  Society devolved.  The world is barely habitable, mostly controlled by water guilds that engage in constant territorial warfare.  Technology is treated like magic, with Technomancers being the vaunted elite.  You often engage in expeditions to find pre-war technology.  But the gameplay was always absolutely terrible.

Greedfall, on the other hand, doesn’t have a interesting world, it was what woketivists THINK is an interesting world.  This is because you are playing as one of the major colonial powers invading a tiny island.

Which one?  It doesn’t care.  Whatever country you are coming from isoffensively generic, and because it doesn’t define your country, it doesn’t define what kind of colonialism they had.

Britain created trading posts.  England and it’s colonies use Common Law.

France created colonies, with the the people being controlled having exactly as few rights as the average Frenchman had.  France and it’s colonies use Civl Law.

Spain was conquistadores.  They would literally turn the local areas into modern fifedoms.

This could have created an interesting option for the player, to choose which kind of Empire they wanted to represent, but instead, they are all rolled into together, because the point isn’t what colonialism was like, but that European powers bad.

To make it worse, the reason you are going to this island is the promise that it holds a cure for a disease.  If they wanted to lay it on thick about how colonialism was bad, they could have made the goal the same as the Spanish, gold and slaves.  The only reason to do this is to demonstrate how noble the savages are.

To make matters worse, the game lays heavily on the social graph, which if the point of the game was colonialism, the focus on the game should be... running a colony.

They also don’t seem to understand how scars work.

in summary:

Gameplay:  poor

Setting:  Poor

Focus:  Poor

The more I play Spiders games, the more I appreciate Of Orcs and Men. I can't say it's better, but it speaks to me on some other, primal level I can't really explain... I can see myself playing through it (and all the Styx games, yes, even the second one, but it's not about Cyanides), what so far I can't say about any of Spiders solo releases.

Anyway I've struggled through Mars War Logs and decided to glimpse into Technomancer and from the get go I can't handle all these menus...
