    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Early access was already like that. What they're changing is "headstarts" type things like preorder to play 3days early which is popular in mmos or buy deluxe edition to play 3days early which is popular with Ubisoft/EA shit. These wouldn't count until official launch, so it was quite possible...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    To be fair some people basically only play this game, so spending 30$ a month instead of 12 doesn't really matter that much, it's like how some people buy a dozen of fantasia a month cause they're obsessed with glamouring stuff and they also need the retainers to hold all that gear and stuff. I...

    No Rest For The Wicked - A Souls Like ARPG

    If you buy physical games you can still do that(well pending whatever rules your shop has). If you just want to play the games for free though there's still a pirate scene and while Denuvo has fucked up the availability of some games, you can still get a good amount of them that way.

    No Rest For The Wicked - A Souls Like ARPG

    It's 2h baseline but depending on your history and the game they will refund sometimes. 2 hours should be plenty to refund games that don't work or demo things you don't know you will like, point isn't to clear a game and then being like "meh I didn't like it I want my money back", there's...

    You can use the actual benchmark with your saved character though(replaces the default MC) so you can get an idea already of how it works in real conditions, but it's interesting they're going out of their way to do this now instead of just "fixing it later". They've said several times in...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I liquidate all my old shit whenever a new expansion launches. I really don't need a full retainer of old mats that I will probably never use. If I need old stuff I'll just buy some, or go gather it if it's not for sale(but nowadays with server hopping it's pretty much impossible to not find...

    No Rest For The Wicked - A Souls Like ARPG

    I mean it just started and V Rising is about done with EA after like what, 2 years, so yeah obviously they're not gonna be at the same level. I usually don't play/buy games in EA though so for me it wasn't even a question, I'll see the state of the game once they announce a release, until then I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah spider mods have been a thing for many years, very few people affected but also kinda costs nothing to swap models usually so as an option it's whatever, usually it's just modded for people who want it though. You see it especially often in ARPGs due to the point of view so the spiders end...

    Smite 2

    I thought MTXs ported over in this cause it was just a graphical upgrade, is it confirmed they're just resetting everything? Cause that sounds pretty fucking dumb.

    Black Desert

    You can but it's inefficient. Imo it's just way faster to buy the armor, or the flame if it's for sale and you want to enhance yourself for your name on the item(last I played there were plenty for sale but that was when they just buffed Dekiah Turos, not sure about now). I did solo for a couple...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Supposedly Viper is inspired by Zidane from FFIX, I haven't played it but I've seen several people mention this expansion has some references to it(some dungeon name and such). Also it's fairly different from Ninja cause the 2 blades can be combined into a double bladed "staff", meanwhile no...

    Standard Bard shit. Meanwhile Dragoon looking exactly the same as the past 5 expansions or whatever. Just less shitty textures on the armor. Personally pretty happy with the classes I usually like, Monk armor looks neat and the weapons are somewhat new design, I like dancer's outfit a bunch...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    There's a few "dungeons" in DD2 but yeah they're not that great overall and there's not many. It also doesn't help that they're all mostly optional. Ancient Battleground kinda has nothing leading you there other than one NPC telling you about it(without a quest), the Bandit Hideout is on the way...
