Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Angering Nerds is a BAD IDEA”.
How could Hasbro monetize two of the most lucrative brands in the gaming world without completely alienating their users uh, I mean I can tell you right now that all the references to nfts in the new guidelines are not going to help yeah, oh you’re, a little late To the Grift guys yeah a little bit, there’s tons of ways I don’t know yeah anyway uh. I always found that their games were very uh. Half-Assed, like the D D. Video games were never really that great.
I remember the first time I ever heard that there was a d d, video game. I actually got really excited and then it was junk and I was like oh yeah – I mean you, don’t actually have to make it. The third party ones have been by far the the better respected ones yeah. We were talking about like Neverwinter Nights or uh, something that is less directly uh. You know D and D E. Never winter nights was like legendary, um, Baldur’s Gate.
I believe started like that. As well yeah, it was before yeah the winter nights, like there’s quite a few that were done way, better yeah. So clearly it’s possible yeah, but I don’t mean Knights of the Old Republic, another Legendary game, no, absolutely not a first party game. A lot of OG video games were actually based on d d, like systems um, every winter nights is technically a d d game. Oh, I didn’t actually know that yeah is.
Is it DND, though like? Was it first party, because if so, then, what happened like for real, though this bug is just like chilling with me for the whole, show apparently Baldur’s? Gate 3 is coming yeah, but it’s made by um the the people that are. We saying that as a plus for Wizards of the Coast, because baldigate 3 is made by the company that made another game that I can’t remember right now. That is really really really good and I’m expecting Dragon Age or uh Baldur’s. Gate 3 is going to be fantastic, uh, larion Studios, yes, larian Studios uh, what’s the name of it, the most previous game that they made was Phantom Divinity original sin. 2. It’S really good! It’S made by larian Studios, it’s a fantastic game, so I I have really high hopes for brothers.
Gate three, like very, very high hopes all right, let’s hope for the best I have I have a on on record. I have the soundtrack for the original sin. 2, signed by the whole Dev team, not the whole Dev team, but a bunch of the dev team, because at PAX East the downtown was there. So I brought the record and got them to sign. It was pretty sweet. That’S very cool yeah yeah Luke’s been trying to get me to play it. We uh we’ve done it. We’Ve started a co-op um campaign.
We’Ve made it as far as the tutorial. We got off the boat yeah. We got off the boat and then stopped yeah it. It was fun though. Yes, those fans have a ton of time and – and we often want to play with your son and it’s a little yeah – I don’t think he’d be quite there yet for enjoying.
Well, that’s two player, so no, I thought it was four. Oh, but we started a two-player game yeah, so I think we’d have to make a new game. I think yeah yeah and then expecting all three of those schedules to align, I think, is a little rough yeah.
The amount of divinity original sent two games that I have because of wanting to integrate a new person and they want to make their own character and stuff. So you end up. Forking, like a million times is, is pretty crazy, um, but yeah fantastic game and as far as my understanding goes, larion is a fantastic studio, so uh, apparently yeah Baldur’s Gate is officially licensed, DND mind you. That was a hot minute ago.
So hopefully, hopefully that’s gon. Na change, anyway, in terms of ideas to monetize the IP clearly there are plenty and they don’t have to just the fact that alienate their players gate three and it’s being released now means they didn’t take advantage of that yeah. That’S true, like that’s fair, I don’t know man, I think, there’s lots of ways. I’M also surprised.
Has there been a movie d d movie? What would that even look like? Well like here’s, a yeah, I don’t know Dungeons and Dragons honor among Thieves is apparently coming. This way, 23., I could see this. I could see it being great. I could see it being terrible, yeah yep, I don’t feel like it’s gon na land in the middle.
I think it’s going to be atrocious or or great well Hugh Grant is in it. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I mean it’s Hugh Grant so um, I’m not very good with like it depends. If you like his sort of likable awkwardness um, I feel like they need to kind of brush over that it’s D and D. You know.
Apparently there was a horrible one: um, oh in 2000 Dungeons and Dragons IMDb 2000., and I didn’t even know about this. Well, it has 3.6 stars out of 10., so it looks like you didn’t really miss out on much yeah really, but like the fact that I didn’t know about it is rough at like 50 to 60 percent, there’s a chance that you’ll just be like her good Movie uh at at 36 of people liked it yeah. The odds are not looking good yep .
