    The Division 2

    Scroll up for the upcoming patch notes. They increased stash size a while back, but next update you will be able to save stats from gear in the Recalibration station. Something that they make sound like was their idea, but was suggested on the forums like since launch, lol. Just like most of the...

    Black Desert

    There are actually several p2w things, one has to do with pets and leveling them, there's also cron stones from costumes, but the main one is Artisan Memory. Cash shop item that makes Memory Frags repair 5 durability instead of 1 on boss gear. That's pretty huge.

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    Yes, I'm well aware that engines exist, that wasn't my point. Anyone who messed around back in the day making areas with OOP on Diku MUDS would understand what I meant. Things like Hero are a good start, but I'm talking an engine that has already done like 95% of the work, so that thousands of...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    Someone posted about how game development should be much easier/cheaper now with advancements in tech and tools. In some ways it is, but what you get is the crap in that vid, indie/kickstarted shit that looks and plays like ass. These people aren't making MMOs they are making...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    You can have an rpg with a keep/HQ that's just a cool place to store shit and craft, and build addons that give you bonuses or whatever. It's been done fine in other games, but yeah, the Pathfinder events stuff was just a bit much.

    Fast & Furious 9 (2020)

    I've always enjoyed these movies, but, uhhh, in the trailer Letty says "I'd ride to the death with you" That has got to be one of the lamest lines of dialogue I've ever heard.

    I'm getting such immense enjoyment from this show failing so hard. Is that wrong?

    The New Mutants (2019)

    Actually, you'll probably get what you're looking for. IIRC, I read somewhere (probably here??) that the director had a hard-on to do a horror movie, and when he was offered this instead, was all "Fuck it, I'll just make this a horror movie." Which is why I have little interest in this even...

    Dune (2020)

    That's fair. I kinda meant more funny-weird. The only funny part was my reaction when I found out whose house I was at, and I didn't go into much detail. I figured most people here can imagine what it was like being a young geek who was huge into fantasy meeting one of their favorite authors...

    Dune (2020)

    Funny story. A looong time ago, in my late teens to early twenties, when I lived in the French Quarter, I was friends with this group of Tarot readers who worked in Jackson Square. One day, a couple of us went to hang out at one of their boyfriend's house. She introduced me..."This is Robert...

    Lost Ark Online

    What I find hilarious is that RU launched with only 3 servers and on top of that only one was consistently high pop, and another, the un-official english server was high occasionally. Which it probably wouldn't be except for the RU publishers not caring if you use VPN, plus the player made...

    Lost Ark Online

    I tried it. In RU and KR. It's terrible. Love the graphics/animations and combat. The rest is shit. And all the cool instance stuff? Yeah, after that castle siege at 30 they're ain't no more shit like that. it's just a very average, typical asian grinder, in a pretty arpg-looking package.

    SWTOR

    Apparently, it's not simple enough. I keep running into idiot noobs in veteran FPs who don't even know about their class health regen ability. I suppose this is a result of all companions being able to heal now, since before that some classes didn't get a healer companion til like level 20. No...

    And using new email addresses to get the free trial repeatedly is any different? LOL

    The Mandalorian

    That's what I meant. The shooting and missing repeatedly at a stationary piece of junk like 5 feet away was kinda like the coin flipping. And the one guy is all confused and smacking his blaster and shit like "Why the fuck can't I hit that?" Because stormtroopers are written to be terrible shots.

    The Mandalorian

    Insert that'sthejoke.gif. That whole scene was pure comedy and seemed to me to be a big fuck you to Rian Johnson, like "this is how you do comedy in star wars, asshole!" Also had a bit of a Rosencrantz and Guildenstern vibe.

    The Mandalorian

    What Mando said was "I didn't think I'd see this again." Because when he thought he was going to die he gave it to Cara to show the Mandalorians.

    Ciri annoys me. Besides all her scenes being boring (imo) she looks like a fucking alien. Why do you take this: And make it look like this: Paint the girls fucking eyebrows, idiots. And lose the goddamn contacts. Wtf?

    His Dark Materials

    I assume they were using "firehurlers"? They were mentioned a couple times, and a bear or two seemed to be carrying some tube shaped thing on their backs.

    The Witcher

    Yeah, it was pretty accurate when Fringorilla opened that portal for the archers to shoot through. Also when Ballsack and Geralt ported directly into the Cintran castle.

    The Expanse

    Might want to re-watch that scene. They specifically state that they no longer have the capacity to experience empathy due to a medical procedure performed on their brains with magnets. I don't remember the exact techno-babble, but that's the basic explanation.

    He wasn't shooting womp rats with a blaster from his speeder. He was flying a T16. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/T-16_skyhopper/Legends "Even so, these airspeeders were often used as training vehicles by the Rebel Alliance,[7] due to the fact that their flight controls were similar to...

    Mainly: Increased credit cap Long gone are the days where you could buy a gallon of Bantha milk for five credits. Initially when we developed our Free-to-Play and Preferred models, a cap of 200,000 credits and 350,000 respectively seemed like a fair amount. Over the years, it’s become a simple...

    Lost Ark Online

    In order for a game to be p2w there has to be something to win. Only open world pvp is on like 1 island? And arena has some bolster mechanic. All gear upgrades are gated by acrasium. It's basically a co-op arpg with very boring, static loot. If you're doing a dungeon and one of your group...

    Yeah, the voice subtitle translations are pretty dubious. I do love that the Devil Hunter's "fire both pistols in all directions" skill is actually called Equilibrium. For anyone who, like me, finds the Russian voices grating, you can rename (switch around) the Korean and Russian voice folders...

    Archeage

    Fishing is actually better money than it was before the changes. You still get about the same average gold per fish, plus you don't waste hours and hours trying to find marlin spots. What did make fishing much better early on was the fact that labor pots and chum were dirt cheap.

    Even if you escaped you still couldn't interact with anything or use skills until your sentence was over, including summoning your mount or ship. And one of the prisons is on an island.

    Same. With the exception that I found the digging for crafting mats way too grindy, and the kid who voiced the main character was annoying as fuck. I played on PC so the battle loading times were instant and the turbo mode made the combat much more bearable. Always wished they had made some...

    Yeah. We're too dumb to make the AI any smarter, so we give them cheats like super-aim and Flash-runspeed. Here's a raid with a bunch of stupid gimmicky hoops to jump through, and oh yeah, you only get to bring 2 armorkits instead of the usual 6. Have fun!
