Chaos Dwarves are great. Easily the best thing about WH3.

I think we are, or rather they are past that. Nobody of value would climb onto that sinking ship. That's probably why they only have a team of bluehairs, interns and fresh grads for a project like D4. It's all they can get.

AI interacting here can only hasten the coming of Skynet. Looking at the world, that's probably a good thing.

Is this not a retelling of the animated series with some extra DEI on top? The series had 3 seasons with a pretty definitive end, so that's what I expect. There's no value in the current gen of writers trying to do their own spin and extending a show past their source material, that's just going...

I'm gonna say it's obvious that Blizzard wanted a big piece of PoEs MTX pie, and while a box sale gets you a feet in the door, a game without retention won't have great numbers for MTX month after month.

It's really at least 15 years too late to use Blizzard as a comparison that sheds a positive light. Especially in this genre. Although I don't personally think it is that big a deal, tbh. I logged in, saw the shitshow, and simply went back to wrap up a Morathi campaign that's ongoing before...

D3 is basically maintenance mode anyway, did you mean D4?

PoE is fine, but I've played it for a dozen years now. Sometimes you need to switch it up. I figure such a time frame is enough time for some other studios to make similar games. But as I said, the list is somewhat short. My three candidates for the next year are hoping that I come around on...

I've played a good part of those, certainly everything up to the Diablo mods (except Wolcen which for some reason I don't like without a grounded reason). That list gets really muddy once you are past the mods to Diablo section. Not gonna claim I know them all for sure, so maybe there's a gem I...

Is that multitude here in the room with us right now? Last I checked there's only a handful of Diablo clones. If you skip the mods to actual Diablo1/2 you can count them on one hand. The term "ARPG" means nothing these days since rpg elements are being added to everything that's newer than...

Don't worry, just 5-9 more seasons and they might arrive at a passable game here. Only if you dutifully purchase the expansion and battlepasses of course.

I remember having some trouble getting into PoE based on looks and feel. Of course, that was their closed beta a dozen years ago. Glad I stuck with it, has been quite a ride so far. I tried twice to get into Last Epoch, but so far it just didn't click with me. People generally relate positively...

Is this worth full price? On a scale of "40K license cash grab" to BG3, where does it stand?

Are you familiar with Total War and like it? If not, I would suggest to just get TWWH2 on a sale, maybe Christmas. No need to buy the more expensive title first. If it clicks with you that means triple digit hours of play already, and you can expand your collection later on. WH1 is just showing...

They can have my attention and maybe money after they actually do everything they mention there in a satisfactory fashion. Definitely a case of talk is cheap, and I am sure they do some follow up just to cover their asses, but I'll wait and see if they can deliver enough to convince me to pick...
