    Funcom just announced Dune wasn’t impacted because not only did the launcher get removed a bit ago, but Funcom’s was in-house and didn’t share any code with the other impacted launchers

    Elder Scrolls VI

    I mean ya it’s obvious in that respect, but it’s a cheap way for Bethesda to drum up anticipation without actually revealing any game details

    Elder Scrolls VI

    Lore nerds will glean the setting of the game potentially. I’ve already seen posts saying this means the game may take place in Hammerfell

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Poetics going away does make for some interesting challenges - do you just change everything to gil to buy? Do you move some stuff to be bought with grand company seals instead?

    Oh that's nice - I do hate how there are a bunch of different baits you have to use on things like fishing expedition and they eat into your inventory that could be used for catches

    During the keynote they mentioned they'll talk more about the upcoming live letters, so I suspect those live letters will showcase all the jobs (they usually do that every xpac - typically to show off new abilities but in this case evolved mode as well) and also reveal the Ultimate raid.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Big takeaways 1) New Job: Zephyr. Basically the pink cat girl showed parts of the job last patch. Looked kind of meh to me personally 2) 24 man alliance raids getting chopped into 2 different instances you queue for. They are also redoing how you get rewards for it to avoid situations where...

    Fanfest Tokyo starting now. No surprise on the 2nd job since it was obvious from the last patch, but xpac has been pushed back to late Feb (early access is 2/19). Normal launch 2/23 and preorders start next week

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Stooges were forgotten until boomers grew up watching them on tv as kids. Gen X/old millenials also saw episodes on TV. Do they still play stooge stuff anywhere? That probably plays a big role in the current generations not being familiar with them

    No Man's Sky

    Even discounting stuff made in British Columbia, it's always stuff like: this planet is just swamp! this planet is just desert! this planet is just Georgia!

    No Man's Sky

    To be fair, most sci-fi shows and movies haven't figured out how to have more than a single biome on an entire planet either

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I mean Mass Effect “James Bond” as a concept could have had potential, but the trailer (if that is what they showed management) wasn’t the best. The music didn’t really fit the tone of the trailer, it really needed some tighter editing and more cinematic setup to better sell the “super agent”...

    Deadlock (New game from Steam - unannounced)

    I never played him at release, so I don’t have context. He’s mostly spirit build in my experience. Kind of like drifter, he does well in 1v1 because you can blow up characters if you build and combo right But in most games I mostly play him as sort of a flex support: take people out of the...

    Deadlock (New game from Steam - unannounced)

    Doesn’t have that, but it does have the ability to browse people’s builds and some people add tutorial notes to their build explaining why you need something/what it does. It also makes the shop less overwhelming because it filters out anything not part of the build you selected

    Deadlock (New game from Steam - unannounced)

    Ya, some characters are OP in street brawl but less so in normal mode and vice versa. Danny is good in both, but he takes much longer to come online in normal mode and as a result, he can fall off quickly if he dies too much early/mid game and feeds the opposite side

    Deadlock (New game from Steam - unannounced)

    I play it quite a bit - just not a lot to discuss I suppose any more than we see MOBA discussion. My favorite characters right now are Dynamo, Venator, Doorman. Danny is probably after that, although for sure he's getting a nerf when they do a rebalance of all the new guys. In terms of the...

    Romance usually is appreciated by traditional gamers if you have full nudity/etc and don't wimp out.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I remember they added the date night stuff a few major patches ago, but they were pretty barebones. Couldn't hurt to add more options.

    Archeage

    Western Archeage was in some ways even worse - Trion were just as predatory. They nerfed the sports car speed (which never happened in Korea), then put a gamble box up that had a slightly faster car. Then they did the same with motor boats.

    Dune Awakening

    They mentioned in a recent post that Ice Cap stuff will be coming to the PTC shortly. Usually when stuff shows up on PTC, on average there is maybe a 4-5 week lag time between PTC and live. So that means we may be looking at a late November/Early December release. I imagine they want it to...

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    The classic Bethesda “we want all choices to matter, so no choices matter” strategy Gsme devs are weak now - man up and pick a canon ending. You’re not going to make everyone happy regardless, so pick an ending and construct a satisfying continuation based on that

    Archeage

    Ya it’s a completely different game. Analogy would be Crimson Desert and Black Desert Online - they share an IP, but play completely different Supposedly they want make an actual Archeage 2 with wars/ship battles/etc but who knows if they will ever see the light of day and if it will ever be...

    Archeage

    I decided to try it - demo install is a bit over 40gigs. Overall impression: Archeage themed "Where Winds Meet", although impossible to tell if it will have as much to do as WWM. Right now there are only 4 archtypes: warrior, ranger, berzerker, and mage. However, they have different...

    I tried that too after not playing for many years. Main hub was a ghost town, all my companions were gone, and they reworked everything. I couldn't even figure out how to get off the station and logged off lol

    Narnia: The Magician's Nephew (2027)

    It's been like 40 years since I read these books - wasn't Magicians Nephew the prequel book that gives the backstory of the old dude the kids visit during the war in the 1st book? I remember virtually nothing about the book itself Only book I remember pretty well was Voyage of the Dawntreader...

    Arc Raiders

    Best thing about PVE mode is I felt like I could actually use my legendary weapons and not get ganked by a greedy fuck for it. Although I almost lost my jupiter because I went inside the crashed Emperor and was trying to make my way to the top, then I realized the map timer was getting low. I...

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Social messaging has been a thing in fiction forever. The problem is a lot of these writer groups are circle jerks where no one pushes back because no one wants to be labeled as something they aren’t. And when you add hamfisted writers to the mix, you get bad storytelling because it takes a...

    Not just that, but Anthem was a very expensive flop as well. When was the last successful BioWare game? Like a decade ago?

    Ya the original Edgerunners gig was pretty basic. A nice to have, but not something that would get me to reinstall at this point
