    Path of Exile 2

    The more I thought about it, the less I feel it's a good idea to try to play at launch. The fact they're cramming every single balance change, rework, new class, new weapon, new league(ish I assume they'll go light on that), endgame reworks based on 0.5 feedback, new campaign bosses and places...

    Path of Exile 2

    I mean that's everything in PoE2, there's a lot of button presses, and you can remove some with proper gear/build but it'd make no sense for swords to just be single skills with no synergy when the entire game is designed around them. They always overdo the synergies in these videos but I think...

    Nodus Fall

    Confirmation it isn't a gacha game, although it is a F2P game, so probably something like Where Winds Meet with a fuckton of over the top cosmetics for sale or potentially the Warframe way with research/timegating with a bunch of grinding/RNG aspects that you can skip with money(still also with...

    Path of Exile 2

    Cyclone screenshot on reddit. Doesn't have too many weird designed downsides, but does have a hefty movement penalty(might be mitigated by nodes on the tree or a new support or whatever though) and a hhigh mana cost. Also depending on how important the blood/sand stance stuff turns out, might...

    Total War: Warhammer

    So they streamed some of the new stuff and I skimmed through the video cause it was super long and not very scripted so pretty annoying but anyway, in short: There's 3 endgame scenarios like before, the End Times with Archaon leading, Vermintide with Thanquol and the Nagash one. When the...

    Nodus Fall

    Very early video but note that it's made by MiHoyo, the company most well know for its gachas Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero, so monetization could be a concern. That said they might switch it up for some of their games since they're not beholden to shareholders and have...

    The Video Thread

    That video is from several years ago so definitely "real", could be staged and stuff but it does seem pretty natural. Hell the argument isn't even that wrong if I understood properly, the kid wanted one of these hamburgers you see in TV ads with like fresh lettuce, tomato, onions, a nice juicy...

    Total War: Warhammer

    I've never put too much effort into learning combat as I'm a terrible RTS player but pausing a lot and doing the most basic shit with like tanky bois in front, archers/artillery in back, horseys on the sides and big nuke spells on stacked stuff works well enough and will yield better results...

    Total War: Warhammer

    They're releasing a video about the changes to endgame and what not I think later today or tomorrow, and yeah maybe they'll talk about the endgame specifically for Nagash to make it harder. Presumably he won't have any allies other than the other undead LLs(and even these might be hostile like...

    The Duskbloods

    They don't announce stuff super long in advance iirc, and Miyazaki was saying in a recent interview that the fact they released 2 multiplayer games in a row was just kind of a coincidence and they're still mostly looking at single player games. They've likely been working on another game but...

    There's some leaks going around if you're interested, there's like a subreddit for them, they get taken down with copyrights but there's ppl reposting them and all that shit.

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    I got the new Steam Controller and it's alright. So far I wouldn't say it's worth the added price over a normal controller though, but I just haven't played a game that I could use all the additional buttons for. I'll be playing FFXIV soon though so might give it a run there since that game has...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I think it's people using the official mod support stuff, similar to Steam workshop, and if you do you're forced to update, which again is like Steam. Now I assume you can potentially finnagle stuff to revert the update(on Steam you can just revert the install to a previous version after...

    Total War: Warhammer

    It is pretty expensive but in terms of money/time it's always good ratios in this game, especially a LL like Nagash you can easily do more than one run with entirely different armies. Personally I'll grab Nagash and Thanquol if I have nothing to do, and the rest I'll wait for a sale/ignore...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Pricing is up on Steam I was curious since that looked huge so I expected it'd cost a bunch and yeah. They're actually selling each LL pack as a separate DLC, $8.99 each, can buy all 4 for $30, every DLC comes with the usual stuff like additional hero+lord and 4-5 new units on top of the LL...

    Path of Exile

    You could try wiping the shader caches(not sure if it'd affect UI stuff but well might as well) as well as all the settings(can put them somewhere else for backup), since reinstalling usually doesn't uninstall settings and there might be some fuckery from an older version.

    I see a screenshot on reddit that seems to still have patterns on it(swirlies on blue, X pattern diamonds on green) so not sure what the problem is for your client.

    Oh yeah this won't be completely riddled with bots just hiding so they can survive at least 6mins. This somehow sounds even stupider than NFT/bitcoin mining games.

    What do you mean by socket pattern? Just as a fyi if you didn't read patch notes, they remove socket colors as natural drops, stuff drops white baseline, so if by patterns you meant color patterns then that's normal. If you mean you can't see sockets at all though that's weird, unless you're...

    Dawn of War 4

    I didn't mean buying it at launch like preordering but more looking at reviews/watching some twitch streams to get an idea and buying it week 1, but the way it's done it's better to just check it out again in a year see how it ended up.

    Dawn of War 4

    So I went and looked it up since I kinda didn't bother watching most videos so far. They actually released a roadmap a couple months back. Unlike previous Dawn of War, which used an expansion system where you buy like a $30-40 expansion every 1-2years or whatever with a bunch of races in them at...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    This is a really old trick that's been happening for like 10-15years already. Every now and then you'll see a story like that pops up about buying on Amazon or Best Buy or whatever. The companies got too lazy so when they get a return they don't bother checking inside the boxes, they just check...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I remember TP, and also it was viable to spam but only if you Goaded each other like a big ole TP circlejerk, but most retards wouldn't use Goad so you ended up TP starved and if you were tanking you had to revert to Flash spamming with your cross class Flash(which did 0 damage, just aggro...

    The timing isn't that close, it isn't a korean action game with like 0.5s iframes timings that only work when you play in Korea. In fact it's basically the same shit they already have where for example Sheltron was touted as a very short "reactive" ability but the baseline duration is...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The combat is still going to be the same combat. The revamp is the new evolved mode, which basically condenses abilities down to a more palatable amount, makes them available faster while leveling(also good for downsynced content so you don't end up with fucking weird ass low lvl "rotations"...

    Black Desert

    That's a lot of pretty big changes, not sure how it'll all pan out but I guess they wanted to switch things up. I wonder how the expeditions or whatever the thing where you send your alts on missions will work, if it's a 20/24h kind of deal or a 1h thing where you spam it when playing. The level...

    Playstation 5

    No it doesn't? It has trackpads with haptic feedbacks under the sticks if you want to use them, can use them for mouse movement or as buttons, but all the other buttons(which are the default pad buttons, the trackpads are additional and need to be configured) are normal buttons, and the DS4 and...

    Dragonsword: Awakening (Dragons Nest Devs)

    Yeah I played the demo and it plays exactly like a gacha, if you're not familiar with them a lot of it will be super confusing like how your xp is mostly obtained from using xp manuals rather than grinding past the first ~10levels, how you have to unlock your level cap 10 by 10 by farming...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Watched the live letter stuff quickly, the BST rogue-like mode actually looks kinda fun, they've put some real effort into it it looks like, it has unique items and stuff not just a series of fights like the Carnival. I was planning to resub 2weeks before the patch or so since I figured I...

    Actually isn't based on the new place, but on original Eorzea, they had a slide mentionning it so going to copy paste the reddit post because I'm too lazy to check it out again, but it's based on the Aerslent in the North Empty, where the Roegadyns are from. Which is basically viking land, just...

    There's still the very common trope of dual pistols. Tons of asian mmos have that class archetype, basically Dante from Devil May Cry pistol stuff, spinning, whirling, jumping while firing infinite bullets kind of thing. It'd be very different from Machinist and would work fine. Other somewhat...

    Palworld (Pokemon with Guns and Bukkake, minus the Bukkake)

    Yeah mid to late game there's a shift in base building. You can brute force it(by either doubling/tripling up on the crafting stations for example or just afking through it), get better pals(there's a hard limit to that though) or start the breeding process to get all your pals max condensation...

    Alright done with the game. Yesterday I killed all the raid bosses on normal difficulty without having to do anything fancy, just dump my 15 strongest pal and my own party and fight, it wasn't that bad although I have 0 interest in doing it on hard mode. Then started grinding the arena, god this...

    Palworld (Pokemon with Guns and Bukkake, minus the Bukkake)

    You can always grind the alpha mini bosses on the map to inflate your score but it just kinda raises on its own as you progress and catch newer zones pals. I think the ice one was also the one for me that had a big jump in power and I dropped from ~100% to like 50% until a bit after. But yeah...

    You only need 20 to get the Recycler built once you reach the world tree, then you get infinite ancient cores just from the relics. I think I have a couple thousands of them sitting there with nothing to use them on, and all I was getting from the expedition was like 4-5 per run using a normal...

    Finally got Diamond Body on my Bellanoire after like 800ish breeding attempts. The last tier of the hatchery is great to churn out attempts at finding passives, it has crazy bonuses, makes breeding and hatching near instant, but your party doesn't affect the results so you can't get more eggs...

    Cagliostro is an old man so it's all good. I haven't really looked at a tier list, I'm not playing this yet, it was this or Palworld and went with Palworld, I'll just wait for patches to be added in case they add new chars. I thought one of the better characters atm was the giant bitch(Fediel...

    Wonder how the crabs behave when you're running super fast. Minions you can call to you but presumably they won't count as minions so no convocation or minion speed, I guess haste aura would let them move faster but might be kinda clunky at high speeds.

    Oh btw in case someone wants to modify hatching timers, have to edit the config file because the ingame settings only allow 1(default), more than one if you're mentally challenged, or 0(instant). By editing the file you can make it a fraction, changed it to 0.3 and it makes the hatch times 2mins...
