We just made it to the second area last night. It does have all kinds of problems, but we’ll probably keep playing until Diablo comes out. They should start fixing this game by upping the difficulty. We have it set to the highest difficulty available before beating the game and it feels like...

What’s the story on Valheim console as far as dedicated servers? Can I use an extra Xbox to run a server a la Ark? If not, what are my options?

Libraries that have games are the best. I’ve played every good PS4 and PS5 game since I got my PS5 a while back without spending a dime on games. I’m currently 3 in line for the new GOW. Just waiting for the library to get its copies in. Should be soon. New COD (also from the library) will...

I’m on Xbox. Will be interesting to see how queue times vary between PC and console. I don’t think I’ve ever seen tank or dps less than 5 minutes. Always 5-10 minutes.

I’m worried about queue times. Tank and DPS are routinely at 10 minutes for me, and I think that’s only going to get worse. Pretty ridiculous when the queue time to get in a game is the average length of a game. It’s also another flaw in 5v5. Who’d have thought that going from 4 tanks in...

I don’t know when you did your placement matches, but for a while they were bugged. It was placing everyone lower than it should have been. They’ve fixed it now—as of a couple days ago.

It’s ironic that they buffed all the tanks and went to 1 tank in role queue to avoid having “too many shields” because it’s going to have the opposite effect in every other play mode. You thought 2 normal tanks was bad? Wait till people start rolling through with 2 beefed up tanks in open...

I play on Xbox. OW2 was literally an “update” for OW1–a decent-sized patch. It plays the exact same and looks almost the exact same (and not even objectively better). Everyone not affected by unintentional bugs has the same skins and other cosmetics as they had in OW1 and retained the same...

https://blog.google/products/stadia/message-on-stadia-streaming-strategy/ Stadia is dead. Google is refunding all hardware and software purchases.

https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/23857517/defense-matrix-activated-fortifying-gameplay-integrity-and-positivity-in-overwatch-2/ I’d say they’re on a fools errand trying to make the community less toxic. But I am happy to see them finally trying to address the fake/Smurf/alt accounts issue...

Add one more to my list: Gloomhaven on PC. It’s free on the Epic Games Store until tomorrow. They did a good job recreating the board game for PC. Highly recommend it.

All of these are on Gamepass: I’ve been playing Ghost Recon Wildlands with some friends. We’ve been having a lot of fun with it. A little repetitive to play through alone, but with friends it’s worth it. Also been playing Solasta with friends. It’s digital D&D—or so I’m told. I think of it...

I’m playing through for my second time, so I like the game. But I’ve always thought they oversold the environment of a living breathing city. In fact, I think it’s one of the worst aspects of the game. The vast majority of NPCs don’t recognize you’re around, will say 3-5 words when you “talk”...

I’d say it has failed miserably. DPS is just as long (or longer) than OW1 and tank is now just as long as DPS.

The graphics look OK when the boat is just sailing, but as soon as any action starts it looks terrible. I think I’ve seen that exact fire animation (28:50 in the video) in an N64 game. Sea of Thieves had problems, but graphics style was not one of them.
