    Take out the title and you'd have no fucking clue it was a WoT series.

    Free Guy (2020)

    The Guy npc look was designed by the Free City art team. Cuckboy specifically states that he doesn't look the same but his code is the code he wrote for the "lovelorn" npc in their indie game.

    Exactly what I thought while reading about this shit. More amateur hour from AGS. But, as you said, not just them. It's fucking retarded that after over 2 decades there isn't a simple fucking standard for something so basic.

    No worries, man. I'm certain these super talented hollywood script writers can do WAY better than some rando hack sci-fi author no one has ever heard of. /sarcasm

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    It's something fun to do to take my mind off clownworld for a while. Plus, I kinda feel obligated, since my avatar was the result of a discussion in the Matrix thread a few years back. :P

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    Neo is the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected and thus not beyond a measure of control.

    If you do that you risk being associated with the Billy Zane version of that.

    Dude, it's way different when you're getting paid to do it. If I was getting paid what a relatively popular streamer gets I'd be fine playing Minesweeper 8 hours a day.

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    The One's purpose is to connect to "the source" so that "the code he carries" can be reinserted. After which he has to choose the few individuals who will rebuild Zion. We can assume that the One would have to lead these people to Zion. Plus, Morpheus in the first movie knows the story of the...

    I read the books multiple times as a teen, just didn't remember all the rando non-main vamps. Just like, umm, Marius and Pandora? Some young girl who ran with a motorbike gang, and of course, Akasha and Enkil.

    Tales of Arise

    Thanks for the detailed responses. Just wanted to make sure, because I like being able to lean back and use my controller when playing these type of games. I hadn't looked too much into the game, just enough to think I might enjoy it. Love the cell shaded style, but prefer well done turn based...

    Marvel's Midnight Suns

    All attacks hit, there's no chance to miss. They still do a pretty bad job of explaining it, but it seems like the "card" system is just an aesthetic choice, and that there's no rng involved. Game looks good to me, although I don't really care about the Abbey/Hangout stuff. My main issue is it...

    Per that review, a game releasing on 2 gens of both consoles, yet the PC version only supports Steam controllers? WTF?

    Wheel of Time

    8 episodes in a season? How many decades do they plan on running this? I don't see how this doesn't result in a ton of stuff getting cut. Even not having to deal with all the descriptive filler, the number of characters and storylines is huge, and one of the problems with the books. Just off...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    The serious answer is that the human mind is basically a collection of "programs" and human responses are quite predictable, in a narrow range. An ASI with enough data on human behavior could easily do this. This theory is best demonstrated in one particular episode of Person of Interest, which...

    Though the process has altered his consciousness, he remains irrevocably human. Not a program. Concordantly, while your question may be the most pertinent, it is also the most irrelevant.

    Lost Ark Online

    Which is the motivation behind this desperate smokescreen of text. A lot of people are refunding their founders packs. It's a fucking f2p game, the packs are mostly worthless, and completely unnecessary, so it's easy for people to say "Fuck you, your bullshit, and your pack, I'll just play for...

    Seriously doubt that. If they didn't like it, they wouldn't have taken it. Remember, this is fucking Amazon, they don't exactly have the same "need money now!" of a regular studio. They are delaying the game because of NW and because they can.

    Lost Ark Online

    I wouldn't say "promotes." The people who do multiple accounts like I do (in RU) are a really tiny subset of players, and RMT farmers. Plus, people generally believe that using more than one account will get them banned. Which, technically it can. My main account got banned a couple weeks after...

    Lost Ark Online

    This. The only thing it has in common with ARPGs is the isometric view and extending from that, the combat. Diablo and the like are primarily loot hunt focused, secondarily build focused. Loot in LA is static. At certain gear score thresholds you get a new set, same sets for all classes. Some...

    Marvel's Midnight Suns

    Could be a good thing. Keep you from falling into the pattern of using the same few abilities over and over. Combat in Xcom 2 could get a bit repetitive mid/late game once you mastered alpha striking. My main concern is replayability, so mixing things up would work towards that. I'm hoping the...

    Lost Ark Online

    The thing about Lost Ark, and one of the reasons this is a poor decision, is that due to the daily/weekly/workpoint limits LA endgame just doesn't have enough to do in a day to take up as much time as your usual MMO. Unless your a 2ish hour a day casual player. Anyone else can easily fit in...

    I feel you. I think almost any of the missing classes would have been a better choice than the female gunslinger. The male martial artists makes sense. But, the LM is IMO one of the best designed classes. Really smooth combat animations, too. And not choosing the class who basically transforms...

    I was only talking about PCs. Every NPC has VO. Not just quest NPCs, pretty much every NPC you walk by will say something. LA probably has more VO than any other mmo, except maybe Swtor. Was just pointing out that there's no VO related to adding additional advanced classes. The only time a new...

    Lost Ark Online

    Your character doesn't talk. Only VO is during combat, grunts, laughs, Blade and Reaper have a few attacks where they shout a (magic?) word. And I'm pretty sure they don't bother doing new VO for any of that. Also, you don't choose your advanced class til 10, so each archetype shares the same...

    I only use the term p2w when it involves pvp, otherwise it's pretty meaningless. If we are talking about pay-to-progress, then TL can hardly be any worse in that regard than Lost Ark. And, yeah, it's been in development for like a decade, and would have been out by now, but after LA launched...

    What a wall of bullshit. This is all about giving Bland World more space. I dunno what they're talking about with "recent changes to the Korean version." The only major changes to the game were when they launched Season 2, which is what we are getting at launch, just like Japan did. All updates...
