    Far Cry 5

    Didn't the leak say it would be more modern day Montana with a religious cult as the villains?

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    If you want to tank and raid, Warrior is the only choice. If you just want to tank group content, Paladin/SK are fine.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Nintendo is going to market anything the developers want to make for their console. No one is putting Skyrim Remastered and FIFA on the same graphical level as RDR2 and Farcry 5. People have this sentiment because it's a Nintendo console. It hasn't had 3rd party parity since the 90s. If you...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I doubt anyone bought a Switch expecting to play top end graphical AAA 3rd party games. There is a rumor out there that CoD WW2 will be getting a Switch version though. Really the only one of that list that isn't a played out sequel in a long line of sequels is RDR2 - can't wait for that. Also...

    Yoshida is a baller. Why can't other MMO producers be so awesome.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Enchanter was kind of rough in Velious/Luclin. Lots of uncharmable mobs or highly MR resistant in groups, and nothing to charm in Temple of Veeshan or Vex Thal/Ssra so your a buff bot endgame - have an alt or box. Verant had a grudge against charm for those 2 expansions after Kunark. It's great...

    I'm sure there's a bunch in more rural areas in brick and mortar stores. Never seen one in Dallas after launch day though, and all the online stores are sold out except for an hour or two every week.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Causing artificial scarcity on the device you are pinning your future as a company on makes zero fiscal sense. You can argue that Nintendo has done so in the past with Amiibos and NES Classic, but they have never done it for their software vehicles. They need people to buy the Switch so they can...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I don't think the Switch needs ports of the bleeding edge AAA titles to be successful. It's going to get the same 3rd party support that the 3DS gets in Japan - which includes studios like Capcom, Atlus, and Level 5. It's going to have all Nintendo first party going forward, and Pokemon, and...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Guys from Kotaku played it some yesterday and posted their thoughts. It's still basically Destiny 1 - this game could be an expansion. Same UI, not many new features outside of the weapon loadout options. Seems like an excuse to reboot playerbase and hopefully they have better development tools...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Their selling out all they can ship in US and Japan. In Japan they pushed extra units for Golden Week (75k) compared to the normal weekly shipment (~50k), and the week after (~25k) had less. They pushed an extra 1 million units for March that were meant for April to match demand. Obviously they...

    Robin Hobb - New Fitz/Fool Trilogy

    All I will say is the new trilogy has the perfect ending for Fitz, the Fool, and Nighteyes. Definitely worth reading.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Koizumi (the producer of Mario Odyssey and Deputy GM of Nintendo's entire software division EPD) has said the game was pretty much complete when asked about it at the Switch launch. Sounds like they just plan to space out their first party titles throughout the year so prevent publishing gaps...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Two DLC, $20 for both I believe. First one coming out soon, it's mostly challenge modes and some cosmetic stuff. 2nd one later this year, supposed to be pretty significant with more story content and dungeon.

    Robin Hobb - New Fitz/Fool Trilogy

    How are you guys reading it already, thought it wasn't coming out until tomorrow.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    I'm just going to wait until all the DLC is out to finish up. So many other games on the backburner that need to be finished.

    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    Been watching some streams, game looks meh. You really gotta bring your A game in a year with Zelda BOTW, Persona 5, and Horizon.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Nintendo told publishers their digital and physical pricing has to be the same, unless they offer something in addition to the game in the physical. At least it's not NieR Automata's first DLC that just released today. $14 for 3 costumes and an arena map.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    It's no Witcher 3 DLC, but as long as the 2nd DLC is good then I don't have an issue with it. So long as they made it after the game went Gold, developers gotta get paid too and $60 for a game is super cheap in 2017 based on 20 years of inflation.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Not sure how the New 2DS proves your point. It's not new hardware - it's the same guts of the New 3DS without the 3D. It's SKU consolidation and cost reduction. I'm pretty sure this New 2DS will be the main SKU they push for the 3DS line because it's already been hard to find the New 3DS/3DS XL...

    What drought? They have first party games releasing every 6 weeks leading up to Mario Odyssey, not to mention whatever E3 announcements.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Nintendo financials for 2016 are out. 2.74 million Switch sold from March 3 to 31, they forecast 10 million sales by year's end and 13 million by next April. Many big unannounced titles still to be revealed launching this year (Pokemon??). Zelda BOTW sold 3.8 million units in March, eclipsing...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    WoW didn't come out until after GoD and OoW dropped though. Unless you were in Alpha I guess.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    No one is talking about "value" though. If that was the case then the PS4/XB1/Wii U/3DS were terrible value consoles compared to their predecessors for the first 1-3 years of their life when they didn't have libraries worth a damn. Not to mention the 3DS doesn't have some of these indie games...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Virtual Console and streaming apps will be out before Holidays/Mario Odyssey (aka the real launch), no doubt about that. Despite lacking those for now, it's still the best portable gaming experience available and is selling out as much stock as they can deliver to stores in US/Japan/Germany/etc...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Not disagreeing, just saying for our raids no one really bothers to Pot9/Symbol over Virtue. Mana really isn't an issue for most.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Druids are definitely the least popular class on Phinigel at PoP expansion. Phinny solo exp is bad, and druids have harder time getting a group than Cleric or Shaman. In raids, because of Aego/Virtue, Druids aren't offering as much. The only time we miss having a druid in raid is if we need...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I use Synergy to 2-box. Can't press buttons on two computers at once but you'll get booted for that anyways. Cleaner than having to use a KVM or two actual keyboards. Symless

    Hearthstone

    The slower one with Tirion, Truesilvers, Tarim, and the 1/4 taunt to discover more Tarims crushes Taunt Warrior, so long as you don't overextend.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Nintendo is already building theme parks with Universal. Also, while Nintendo is a public company, they act like a private one. They pretty much ignore their shareholders. Although shareholders have been wanting them to make mobile games for a decade and they finally caved to that so who knows.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    The best hardware available to them, yes. Switch is the most powerful handheld. Before you say XB1/PS4, remember that the biggest franchises for 3DS are all handheld focused because in Japan that's what sells. Consoles are dead there. Mobile is actually the biggest market in Japan as well but...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Dude they aren't going to just keep making first party games for a 6 year old handheld - some small 3rd parties in Japan will continue just like they did for PS2. It's getting replaced one way or another. The most demanding 3DS games like Monster Hunter XX and Pokemon Sun/Moon are already...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    3DS is 6 years old and was already no graphical power house when it launched. Their handheld and console dev teams combined ~3 years ago. Nintendo and nVidia are setup for a 10 year partnership. All signs point to the Switch ecosystem being the sole one moving forward. There will probably be a...

    He can't - it's just more bold claims by Ut just like his "sources" in all the big MMO developers over the years. Meanwhile SUMO Digital got Snake Pass running on the Switch in less than a week after getting their dev kit and had it fully ported in just a couple months in time for the Switch...

    They'd make less money if they stopped making hardware and went 3rd party. Still in 2017 they make most of their revenue from hardware. It makes no business sense to go 3rd party - it only makes sense for non-Nintendo consumers.

    It was also during the Holidays, not March. Switch is still selling out all of it's shipments - we won't know how it's momentum is until they start sitting on shelves in US and Japan.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Neither of those make sense. All of those games are available in other places and easier to access without requiring an NES Classic. I'm sure they will also be on the Switch just like they were on every console's Virtual Console, but the NES Classic has nothing to do with it. The only reason...

    Nah it will be back for Christmas, probably with an SNES classic. They just want all of their manufacturing lines at FoxConn focused on the Switch I'd bet.
