Launch trailer is up '

Me too. I have been following this one for a while as a replacement for Borderlands 2 as shoot and loot game for my friends and I. Most of the press/ indicators have been good for it, though it apparently has a bit of a learning curve due to high(ish) complexity of the building. Really...

Some guy on Reddit made a site that helps you pick what to buy/ play on steam. Solves a couple of the annoying issues with Steams native game suggestion engine. Here

Another vote for Witcher 3. Divinity Original Sin (the new one comes out soon and is also amazing), X-Com 2, Darkest Dungeon, Everspace. Can't go wrong with any of them and all of them are long enough you won't feel ripped off even if you don't get them on steam sale.

I haven't gotten a lot of play out of the Jester. I like their mobility a lot, I just haven't had a lot last through veteran to try them out at the higher end. Definitely like the comp you suggested though, Arbalest/Jester/Robber/Master must just pour out the dps though it is a little stun...

Exactly this. There are a ton of comps that work fantastic but most of the best ones aren't built around the notion of tanking / healing / dps but rather on how the classes interact with each other. As an example, double occultist / bounty hunter / grave robber works exceptionally well with...

Definitely. I am always looking for good co-op play options -- there aren't a lot of really good ones around. My friends and I probably put in 300-500 hours a piece into Borderlands 2 before calling it quits.. we haven't found anything remotely that satisfying to play as a group since...

Two words: Gated Content Bring on those sweet sweet 4000+ man hour key camps to get your raid into Ssra2.0! In seriousness though, if they aren't doing instances gearing up becomes far less trivial so that buys them a lot of time until they need to deal with second and third generation raids...

Been playing around with this a bit, it seems much improved from the few times I have tried in previous patches. They really need to get keybinding in there though before I give it a more serious try, wasd with numbers as powers make it so you pretty much are forced to use songs or non-critical...

I have lost even this level of optimism at this point. It is truly amazing that all anyone wanted when this started out was a modernized Freelancer --and here we are 3 years and milllions upon millions of dollar later all we have seen is a handful of shitty buggy modules, none of which remotely...

I am sure a lot of this is awareness too. I had no idea what zone zem was nor the impact it had untill very late back in classic. I knew the zones that had the gear I wanted so I would frequent those or hit the zones with good mob density. Fast forward to the p99 crowd and most of them...

I am not a huge fan of full gear resets either, but the EQ approach was much better than most games since. By comparison, I literally replaced my entire WoW vanilla raid set with greens by the end of the first zone and a half of TBC (and it got way worse from there) -- that is a full reset...

Given how true they are staying to the original EQ classes so far, smart money would be on B given that was how it was through PoP. You could twink above your level obviously (level 10 with T-staff etc), but until the economy settles, my money is on hands being dps, weapons for stats or damage...

Totally agree with this. I am truly impressed they have made it as far as they have with the mess they started with, but it seriously looks promising now. The real challenge for them now is going to be sticking to their vision, while selectively responding to the inputs and criticisms of their...

It is always hard to tell with Brad, he is such a shitty speaker, he should just let Joopa do all the talking because every time he opens his mouth he must lose a half dozen potential backers.

Agree on both points.

Nice, they are showing level 25 characters this time.

I'm a Canuck so forgive me if I am totally off base here, but isn't that where their current office is? Honestly, I am not sure why any dev. company that has to dig and scratch to make rent would pick the California coast to set up shop -- sure the talent is there, but there are lots of more...

Wow vanilla had a lot of buggy shit as well, no question. For me it was more about the game play / mechanics. I know lots of people liked multiboxing because of the simplicity of some of the EQ classes, but it definitely did not appeal to me. I am not saying class design was better in WoW...

Definitely. Eq was great for the open world, the pace of leveling, the challenge/ difficulty level, nuances like different factions actually mattering rather than just being another grind, but the actual gameplay in WoW was much more engaging and enjoyable. Give me the best of both those...

Game is definitely good. It is pretty much controller required. I play mouse and keyboard for everything even remotely possible, but for this I had to plug in my PS4 controller. That said, really enjoying it. Love the story, love the premise and I really love the difficulty.. nice to have an...

Was going to take a pass on this one, did not look like the sort of game I would enjoy, but after watching this review I am have changed my mind. Look forward to trying it later tonight once it is done downloading.

The volume of salty tears right now over the lack of character transfers to Legends is quickly turning Agartha into a ocean zone.

I totally agree with this. If this was an indie studio or not billed as a Triple-A sequel to an iconic franchise, or it was a $20 steam deal, I would probably not be terribly disappointed with it.. but because it is Bioware and because of the hype, and because they are charging the premium...

Well, I have put in a few hours on it now via Origin pre-access and it isn't all bad... but it sure as hell isn't great either. The good is that the combat flows wells, the AI is decent on both the enemies and your team-mates, and the environments are very well made. The bad is, I really can't...

Just going to chime in to plug Aorus laptops again since most people have never even heard of them. I have tried a number of high-end laptops for gaming, and none of them have compared to the Aorus. Like Sager though, they are on the high side $$ wise. Product | [GIGABYTE AORUS] I got both...

The xp loss never bothered me much, it was the price for screwing up and getting myself killed. The naked run to my corpse was always the miserable part for me -- especially on my non-casters who would often be bound 2+zones away. The limited binding for non-casters was just insult to injury...

The kickstarter for Pillars 2 is out now on Fig. Looks like they already blew the doors off their targets which bodes well given they already have an engine and the hard stuff taken care of so a lot of dev dollars should go to content development. Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Crowdfunding...

A priest is teaching an Indian chief English as they walk through a field together. The priest points at a tree, and says 'Tree' 'Mmm.. Tree' responds the chief They keep walking and the priest points to a large rock and say 'Rock'. 'Mmm.. Rock' responds the chief. 'Very good!'. The two keep...

Guy walks into a whore house and ask the madam what he can get for $20. 'We only have Sandpaper Sally that cheap'. Being super horny and desperate, the guy agrees and is lead to a room where the young woman is waiting. He jumps in bed and they start going at it... but is feels... awful. Like...

Pretty much this exactly. I play disc priest mainly, and while I love the feel of it and how it plays, I work three times as hard as when I switch to holy and just spam heals mindlessly. Some classes just have a very low error tolerance / skill cap at the moment for relatively little...

I backed him. I will probably end up burned and feeling like a chump when Brad drops off the face of the earth on a pill-popping bender, but it wouldn't be the first or last time for that. Seeing something other than the same sub-10 content over and over though would be nice - it really does...

This for me too. The multiplayer was worth the box price all by itself. I feel sorry for people who played ME3 and never tried it. - Borderlands 2 was one for me. I picked it up to play as a 'quick game to frag some shit with my friends'... 500 hours played later.. not so much. -...

Every time I watch their clips I think 'That is cool as hell', and then I think about the how poorly this shit is going to perform under heavy netcode stress of an MMO environment. Honestly, after all the stuff they have presented, I think they will have a fantastic single person game on their...

I certainly liked the pace and gameplay they showed. That said, their last live stream was of level 7 content, this one, was level 10. While I understand they are a small team, trying to get the mechanics right etc etc, the pace they are moving at, is really really glacial. Given they even...

Good choice, Phenteo is probably my favorite card in the game. I still need a couple more of for a full play set of him though, so I end up having to swap in less synergistic cards when I run that deck. Price just never drops on him.

Exactly. The simple fact that p99 and ED exist and are popular says otherwise. I am certainly not suggesting that it won't irk me that I would be in the 'lol level 20 after 3 months of play' crowd, but after 10 years of shitty games where you reach level cap in a month and then quit because...

It is fun, no question. But for arena you are much better off making a faster deck (budget robots come to mind) as you can grind out much faster gold with a blitz deck that way. Obviously, play what you like, that is the most important, but from an efficiency standpoint if you are looking to...

Yeah, I am seeing this. The good news is I like most of the 'funnel' zones, but would just prefer some diversity from time to time (fond memories of little known/ used zones like Dalnir stick with me).

It is kind of funny how perceptions change. I remember when I was playing EQ and Wow came along, I thought instances were the cats ass because I did not have to deal with the camp bullshit like one aoe group farming the entire upper level of seb at once. Instances like BRD were still...
