    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I enjoyed both DA:O and DA:I, I finished both of them which is rare too, but I could name a bunch of RPGs that I thought were better. I also expected a lot since it was BioWare and they had never released anything that disappointed me before. The SJW stuff doesn't bother me either. I just want a...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I'm not a big JRPG guy, but I agree with Caliane, at least in principle. DA:O was just "good". It was the first time I was really kind of disappointed in a Bioware game. I thought DA:I was also "good", but suffered from serious bloat. They should have trimmed it down some. The Dragon Age games...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    That was my initial thought too, but it makes me wonder how they'll handle the release. My guess is the next generation of consoles will release holiday season next year. Would Cyberpunk be cross generation at launch? It seems to me they would want to launch while the current gen platforms were...

    Playstation 5

    Last of Us was last generation, but other than that I agree with you. I've been a huge fan of their exclusives this generation, and I'm really optimistic about Last of Us 2 and Ghosts of Tsumisha. Honestly, God of War might be my favorite game of this generation so far. I probably still won't...

    Assassin's Creed: Unity

    Not unless you have absolutely nothing else to play. Unity and Syndicate absolutely sucked.

    (PS4) Days gone. Q1-2019

    I'm no SJW, but I can enjoy a story that puts forth ideas that I don't agree with as long as it's a good story. Happens to me a lot in books, movies, shows, and games. I guess we'll find out fairly soon, but for now they've earned the benefit of the doubt from me.

    (PS4) Days gone. Q1-2019

    I don't know. I have high hopes for Last of Us 2 also. Naughty Dog hasn't disappointed me yet.

    (PS4) Days gone. Q1-2019

    Probably eventually, but I'm playing a bunch of different stuff right now. Interested in seeing how it;s received though.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I was 3 boxing on test for a little bit and enjoyed it, but then I heard instances are broken on test? Some of the folks on there were telling me that they break every so often and then don't work again until the next server restart. Is that accurate? If so, that seems like a pretty big drawback.

    Outward (PC/Xbox/PS4 Survival RPG Mar-26)

    It looks like they updated the price on Epic. They both say $39.99 now.

    Damn Cyni, do you remember who the SK was by chance?

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Thanks for sharing that with me Xevy. Gives me something to think about. It's been fun for me so far, but my experience is limited to hanging out in Discord and grouping with a relatively small number of people. We started some "unofficial non-DKP raids" over the weekend, so I'll get more...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    What problems have you had with Born of War? Just curious, I joined the guild and it's been fine for me so far, though I'm pretty far from an expert when it comes to raiding in EQ. Admittedly, most of my groupage has been with PUGS so far, but I've worked in some guild members here and there. I...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    I'll be on Mangler. Got the 16th circled on my calendar.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Ok. Thanks Fight. I checked with some other folks as well and was told that you can usually get around this by having logged out characters from your accounts in the group. So, if I had two accounts I could add alts on those accounts to the group and then log them out to boost the number of...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Thanks Fight. That’s very helpful. What about the progression instances? How many accounts and mercs are needed to spawn them.?

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I last played EQ during LDoN. I'm thinking about making a character on a live server to see how much content I can work though that I missed over the years. I'm wondering a few things: How far can a J5 merc take me? I don't mean how high in level, but how far in content. Can I clear though...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Good point. Thanks Foaming. I'll take it over there.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Ok, but in the hope of getting the original question answered, does anyone know how far a J5 merc can take you? How deep into expansions should I be able to reasonable get on my own? Also, is a shaman and J5 tank merc a good setup, or would I be better off with a BST or SK and a J5 healer merc?

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Thanks, but this would be on live. I mentioned that I'd be working on this while waiting on the new TLPs to drop. I've read that they introduced a new quest in the Feerot to help heroic characters get the J5 mercs that is easily soloable.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    While I'm waiting for these to drop I was thinking about rolling a shaman on one of the live servers and just seeing what kind of content I can clear with a J5 tank merc. I haven't palyed since WoW dropped, so I think LDoN was really the last expansion where i saw extensive content. Anyone know...

    Darkest Dungeon 2

    I love the first DD, but never completed it. I always play for a month or two, get distracted by another game, and then come back and start over 6 months later. Really looking forward to number 2 though.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    I'm kind of torn on this. I'd like to play on Mangler as that suits my play style better, but I'm worried it will be a ghost town. I get that everyone is burnt out on the TLPs and that Mangler doesn't have anything to make it stand out, but I haven't played for more than a few days since OOW...

    Imperator: Rome (2019)

    Witcher 3 might be my favorite RPG of all time. I know a lot of their stuff in the past has released buggy, but I remember Crusader Kings 2 being a pretty solid release. I know I was playing it pretty consistently prior to their first DLC. I think they did address some of their DLC policies by...

    Imperator: Rome (2019)

    Same one. It takes a long time to get there though and the DLC goes on sale all the damn time. I love their games. I think the schedule for their flagship games like Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis is to generally release 2 to 3 $10 - $20 "expansions" per year. This certainly adds up over...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Thanks, I pretty much play healers and tanks exclusively, so that should work out fine. I'll certainly be looking for a guild if I jump in too, so I'm please about the addition of AoCs.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    I've been interested in these TLP servers for awhile, but I was just too busy to play on them until this year. Question for you guys who have played n a few of these already. If I want to play at a kind of medium intensity will that work for these servers? I'm not interested in boxing, I only...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Not that I've seen. Definitely not available to preorder on PS4 or Steam unless something changed in the last couple of days.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Haven't really played EQ in many years. I know what Krono are, but how are people using it to pay for so many accounts without actually coming out of pocket? Is it just farm as much stuff as you can, sell it for plat, and then buy krono with the plat? Or is there something more subtle going on here?

    Which games did you enjoy/disliked most in 2018?

    I have a little bit of trouble remembering whether or not the games I liked were 2018 or 2017 games since I tend to buy them on sale a few months after release these days. Here's a few that I really enjoyed though: 1.) God of War 2.) Red Dead Redemption 2 (single player only so far) 3.)...

    Thanks James. That's what I was thinking the answer would be. I'll transition to the 5L tonight.

    Path of Exile

    So, I'm playing an arc totem build SSF. I move slowly through this game because I go full OCD on killing everything and picking up everything that makes it through my loot filter and vendoring it. I'm about halfway through Act 7 now. I'm currently using a Tabula Rasa, but I found a 5 link with...

    Path of Exile

    Which should be more viable for SSF this league, Molten Strike Jugg or Arc Totem Hierophant? I'd been looking at Hybrid's MS build, but I'm wondering if I'm really hurting myself if I can't count on a Grel's, helm enchant, or Dying Sun for additional projectiles.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Man, GoW was great. I'd agree that it boils down to personal preference at that level. I loved both games, but I loved RDR a little bit more. That's most likely because I love westerns, we don't see very many games in that genre, almost all of the ones that do come out are sub-par, which results...

    Path of Exile

    Honestly, I like the aesthetic more than D3, but for the first several acts everything is intended to look like you dragged it out of the dump. this is probably my favorite game ever, but I would have happily paid a full box price, plus full price for a few expansions to have all the skins be...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I'm level 32 now and just finished all the points of interest in Athens (just the city, I still have to explore the region). I'm pretty evenly split between assassination and warrior trees and have nothing in hunter. I pretty much mow through everything, but I'm going to start playing with the...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I didn't dislike Origins, but this is an improvement in every way. That said I'm about 42 hours in now and I'm starting to get burnt out. I'll probably take a big break when the new POE league drops next Friday and then come back to it after a few weeks. In the meantime I'll slow it down. I...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    Yeah, I picked it up on Friday. I was sick this weekend, so I managed to put in a little over 20 hours since purchasing it. I like it a lot. Not as good as RDR2 imo, but the best the AC series has been since Black Flag and Ezio, and the best the combat has ever been. It's amazing how much...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I wouldn’t do that before Cyberpunk 2077
