Xbox news is so depressing. I have loved the platform since its launch, I have always enjoyed the competition, I think the three different approaches to the console/gaming space is great, and watching them flounder while not really doing THAT badly, just not growing. Hardware is losing badly...

That sounds like a good idea but watching for the colors to drop and picking things up, ie the Loot Pinata, is a staple of the genre. At least having less loot drop and having some missing things turn up is a step in the right direction. Once they finally get around to adding filters <^.^> then...

I have a modicum of hope for Blizzard now but these are rose tinted glasses, not blinders. I hold way too much of a grudge to play hardcore.

I took one of these from 1-46 yesterday and had the best time. My 76 Necro is on the shelf until I max this guy out. I loved my 3-shout HOTA Barb and this double swing/leap/charge/dust devil build is so great, in part because its so survivable and also because its so different from my other...

If you stay in Helltides, you can get to 100 in a day. Raxx has at least two if not more 100's now. There is so little grind left in the initial leveling process. I have been having a lot of medical tests and still have a couple of level 50s with only a few hours a day. I would have my necro...

Analysis: True. The loot change, the new Helltides, and the 1-100 leveling compression is so good I am just starting to bump up against some of the stuff I didn't like so much (Paragon boards, still some rough edges in the UI, have to pick up items to compare, etc.) I haven't had a chance to...

Loot and leveling are 100% better. There has been serious effort that's gone into making the game way more player friendly. All of the bullshit affixes are gone, You can level all the way to 100 in just helltides, mob density is so much better. At least Kyovashad is better laid out, leveling...

I was going to do a Necro this time, I played one in the beta but have done Rogue and Barb since. Seems they nerfed the heck out of the Barb but I did love my HotA Barb in the first season before I dropped this. Let's see how it goes.

I haven't watched it; waiting on the 4k that just shipped but I don't think I am going to have the unadulterated praise that so many seem to have if they make it such that Paul is "in on the missionaria protectiva con" and using the Fremen rather truly being immersed in their culture and...

eh, I have the same kind of multi-gig/2.5Gb Fiber connection with AT&T, who have the same $50 uncapped charge unless you use another of their services (TV/Cell/etc) I paid more for an ISDN link in 97 and those dollars were worth way more. What was that? 2 Bearer/B Channels and 1 D Channel that...

I didn't play much Pyre, either; it was the first time the game itself wasn't much fun comparatively. I thought the narrative and music were well done but the moment to moment gameplay just didn't land for me. I played a lot of Hades but I just don't/haven't ever figured out the healing/not...

Supergiant didn't "get" woke, though, they have always been Left-Coast California San Francisco forever. "That tiger didn't go crazy" as the comedian said, "that tiger went tiger." If making one character dark skinned is the extent of the politics in this game, I would say fuck it and just...

They aren't going away from Night City, they are just moving on to the sequel, Cyberpunk 2077 Orion. I suspect that many of the plans originally intended for CP2077 will be implemented in that, minus the awkward need to support PS4. Although by then, Launch PS5 will be "last gen"/long in the...

I restarted this on PC after playing the original at launch on PS5 all the way through to the end and stopping. I had originally bought it on every platform but ended up playing it on PS5. My PS5 save was right before waiting with Johnny for the 5 or 10 min of silence to go alone into Arasaka...
