    P.S. New World thread is that way.

    Lost Ark Online

    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...

    Looks pretty fucking good. Deal me 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...

    Lost Ark Online

    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...

    Lost Ark Online

    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...

    Lost Ark Online

    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...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    LOL. Did you actually read the article, or just the clickbait title?? “What we’re witnessing in a lot of cases is kids whose parents make the equivalent of a hockey bag full of hundred dollar bills every paycheck, and these little assholes have never had a real problem in their entire goddamned...

    Ashes of Creation

    Part of it is the fact that Korean games' character models have more bones. Way more. So, they can actually do realistic animations. Could also be something like maybe Korea has some mocap studios that the game companies outsource to. And the fact that Korean games have to compete with each...

    Cowboy Bebop

    Seen this chic in one show, she played a New Orleans witch in The Originals. And, damned if I can think of any other way to describe her character than "cunty." I doubt she even has the ability to play a likable character. Also, has the female version of "punchable face" although that might just...

    Yeah, dropping a cinematic trailer 1 week before the gameplay reveal is a terrible sign. :P

    Marvel's Midnight Suns

    If this game is as moddable as Xcom 2, we can probably look forward to being able to play as any Marvel hero or villain. Can't wait to see some gameplay.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Yes, tech startups aren't your usual corporate scene. I worked at Zynga when they were still a startup, back in like 09? The two primary unlimited free beverages in every break room fridge were beer and red bull. More like to run into someone who's been chugging red bull all day, then even...

    Wheel of Time

    Well, some of the books only cover like 3 days of time, one of the reasons they start to suck after LoC. Plus, as everyone knows, the vast majority of words in the books are used for descriptions of clothing and braid-tugging.

    Could have been even worse. Due to vast amounts of cc fraud and the token duping exploit labor pots were super cheap at launch and for a long time afterward.

    Lost Ark Online

    All gear is static drops, with rng secondary stats (1-3 random tripod boosts), and a random 0-100 grade. They don't sell gear. The purpose of the cash shop isn't really selling shit to use, it's to allow you to convert cash into gold, by buying shit to sell on the AH. The "Crystalline Aura" is...

    Am I remembering wrong, or didn't the "ageless" look come as a side effect of binding themselves with the Oath Rod?

    Wheel of Time

    I mean, there's a chance it won't look cheesy. But, I was thinking more about it, and thinking of two of my fave scenes, which I'd like to see. "Kneel or you will be knelt" and "Rolling rings of Earth and Fire"... and something occurred to me. How the fuck is a show this woke going to show a...

    Wheel of Time

    They are going to have to use some kind of cgi visual representation. There's just no other way to convey weaves and holding the power and such. Isn't there like a scene where Rand and Taim are having a silent pissing contest of who can hold the most Power? A lot of things like that, that need...

    Wheel of Time

    The Forsaken don't use the True Power. (or at least, extremely rarely) Only the one dude. And the saa in the eyes is a side effect of prolonged use, not an indication of currently channeling it.

    Ascent: Infinite Realm

    Oh, BDO's top tier graphics and combat are old news, so can't be used as a basis for comparison. Got it.
  28. Raes

    Ascent: Infinite Realm

    Compared to what? Bless? Both of these games suck compared to BDO and Lost Ark, and somewhat even Bland World. I don't understand how some people can consider outdated graphics and clunky combat to be "good". Time travel?

    Ashes of Creation

    Pretty much every Western game I see in it's Alpha state, I think to myself, "ah, those animations need some work (compared to Korean stuff especially) but it's early! I'm sure they'll get around to doing a pass on that and tighten them up!" And. They. Never. Do. It's like Western devs don't...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Love how people just accept that Cap being able to slightly move the hammer means that Mjolnir somehow senses that Cap is sorta kinda almost but not quite worthy. The fucking Hulk couldn't budge it in full rage mode.
  32. Raes

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Except he is obviously faking. After he moves the hammer, he sees the look on Thor's face, resets his grip, tenses his arms and leans back. That's it, he doesn't try to lift it. Just watch the fucking scene. All the information is there.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Ok, I guess I didn't see the fine print on Mjolnir that reads "He who is almost worthy can slightly jostle the hammer." :P

    The Ascent

    Yeah, on the technical side, there are some glaring issues. As far as I can tell, they could be fixed with more dev time. But, the art, the world, the music, the characters like Poone and Noghead? A+. Kira was a bit flat. And I wish she would shut the fuck up about the collateral damage. Bitch...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I know, right? It's not like he's in a battle for the fate of all life in the universe and takes a moment to ponder "I wonder if I'm worthy *now*? What about now? No? How about...NOW!?"

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    No? Cap was always worthy to wield Mjolnir. In the previous movie where Thor wants to see if he can lift it, Cap only pretends that he can't, so as not to hurt Thor's feelings or whatever.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Cap takes it back, along with the stones.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Easy enough to get back on track. Just need the opening scene of Capt Marvel 2 to be her getting mindripped by the real Rogue, and left for dead at the bottom of a lake.
