    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Modern FFs try to appeal to modern standards, and overall sell pretty well so it's not that bad of an idea from Square, although for people whose favorite games are the older ones, it feels meh. I did like FFXV overall though with all its flaws, I liked the characters and the road trip idea, it...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you're still 110(haven't played bfa at all), you won't become 50 with the patch, so you'll have to do some leveling. If it's a char that has done every quest from past expansions while leveling, you won't have anything to do than BFA to get to cap, besides just running dungeons for a couple...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yes currently. As usual once SL launches, BFA will be included in the base game, but unlike what they did with BFA which included legion with the preorder or whatever, currently you still need to buy BFA "full price" to play that even if you preorder Shadowlands. They have a bundle preorder that...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I spent like 500euros on a full water cooling custom loop last week because I wanted to try it out(real fun to setup imo, although it took way too fucking long having no idea what I was doing and trying not to ruin my 2k PC) and after I was done, I went on to play Tales of Maj'Eyal, a rogue-like...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah there was a video about that not too long ago, if they really want to tell the full expansion story, they need to do a much more massive rework of stuff. Currently it's still fucked. I did the "new player experience" on alpha, basically the new starting area into BFA(the only expansion you...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is some guy speedrunning, and he's using the fastest expansion(WoD) to do it. I leveled a char on alpha, no WM(which maybe you'll have, but 30% is alliance only pretty much everywhere and that means running into a lot of horde players too), through BFA so no mount and it took like 14hours...

    Oh right I remember now.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    It's surprising they never made another one, would have been easy to mix it up by having Nids and maybe some other shit in there(Necrons?). Maybe didn't sell that well? The multi was kinda fun too but the single player was just real great to play, it was a simple concept but well executed.

    Desktop Computers

    You'd want to wait for fall at least, for the new GFXs to come out, specifically the 30xx Nvidia ones which supposedly are going to be much better than the 20xx and not too expensive(but that remains to be confirmed). Not sure if AMD is coming out with new stuff soon too for the CPU, but...

    JRPGs

    Yeah I could see that, they explain their reasoning about it pretty well and I could see it, it's not always worth it porting to switch since it takes a lot more effort and if it doesn't sell well you're out of luck. Granted I feel this would sell pretty well and be worth it but it would be...

    JRPGs

    Suikoden's successor Kickstarter is up btw, although apparently Kickstarter is having server issues atm so can't give them money. Game's already funded, they only wanted additional funds to convince their publishers to give them money and what not so it was set at only 500k, but it was funded in...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I'd assume WoW still has way more concurent players, because of tokens. You have so many people multiboxing shit cause it's "free" since you generate money for the tokens from it, and meanwhile whales and stuff just pay for it.
  13. Pyros

    JRPGs

    Yeah I did the full clear thing, got all achievements and shit, no way I'm replaying it anytime soon/ever though, it's just way too long and no replay value at all. New Suikoden looks nice, but that's a 2023+ game and with japanese devs it's somewhat 50/50 if it's gonna be worth it in the end...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    As mentionned there's bots, they're pretty fucking bad though until you mod them, then they're pretty decent(and sometimes better than fucking idiots you match with). As for Space Marines, there's a bunch of issues with using them in this type of game, first and foremost the fact they're FAT AS...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I mean sure but in Vermintide, everyone's melee with ranged options(besides when they fucked up balance and Kerillian and Sienna were permanent ranged which was pretty broken) while in 40K you'd expect the contrary, so it's gonna change the gameplay a lot I feel. Also I'll be really sad if...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Assuming it's like Vermintide, not at all. It's somewhat like Left 4 Dead, coop FPS with specific goals in each maps(escaping, freeing someone, destroying something, killing a boss etc). Vermintide's strength is its really good melee combat so not 100% sure how this one is gonna work since the...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    You can certainly make everything work but they kinda fuck around with buffing something too much, then nerfing it later and it can get annoying especially if you liked the thing. Some things are totally worth nerfing, but it sucks when it was the thing you liked and they nerfed it too much so...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The page says it gives all DLCs you can buy with crowns and the old expansions are in the crown shop under DLC, but might be wrong. I wanted to play last expansion then never got around to it so never checked firsthand(I got a deal with summerset+morrowind anyway so I had both).

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    It looks pretty fucking shit BUT if you pay for the monthly sub(which is optional), you get access to all the DLCs minus the last big expansion, so it's basically the same more or less. If you want to actually own the DLCs to play them even without your sub though it's kinda shitty but you also...

    The current threads will end, but the overarching story is still not done until 6.0. They'll be hinting at what's next anyway at the end of this.

    The Video Thread

    In case of, this is a sped up video with an added soundtrack of another bus driver doing stupid shit in china(the video is a japanese bus). It's still pretty impressive how he drives at normal speed, but it also doesn't look like he's being a complete retard.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Contains a lot of spoilers as with all trailers. The flying in ARR zones seems better than I expected, they didn't just wall off every non walkable part but instead kinda reworked the zones so you can fly more or less properly. The example they used was Northern La Noscea, you can cross Bronze...

    Risk of Rain 2

    They do have something planned for this in 1.0 I believe, some server search thing or whatever instead of just random. I doubt they'll be able to fix people acting like dicks and stealing all the items, laggers and the game eventually desyncing once you get too far due to too much shit being...

    Risk of Rain 2

    1.0 release planned for August 11th after many years in early access. Contains a bunch of new content including a new survivor(character) and I believe a new "ending". I picked this up after testing it during the free weekend or whatever not too long ago after the Artifact release and it was...

    Path of Exile

    Before or after doesn't matter, it'll do the same thing. The calculation is done simultaneously as a result. It's different because 10% increased spell damage is additive with other sources of spell damage, while increased damage taken is multiplicative with said sources, so it behaves somewhat...

    Path of Exile

    Was it updated with weight changes? Clusters were MASSIVELY nerfed and crafting even decent ones is a lot harder than before without using deterministic crafting methods(like harvest shit)

    Just a joke apology in the style of the usual apology bullshit(sigh, breathe slowly, choke a little bit, sad music in the background etc). It's pretty funny too.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's a few more but some of these can be bad yeah. Thunder God isn't even an issue with just killing your own alliance, that stuff hits raid wide, so you basically instantly kill everyone if you fuck up too much, although it tends to be several ppl fucking up that's an issue(only need 3people...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The nier raid is mechanically fairly simple, but relies mostly on seeing known patterns and reacting to them, so guides are kinda not needed, other than figuring out which add you should kill if there's no marker(but sticking to your party does the job fine). 24man really aren't the kind of...

    They had already said there was no new Hildibrande in 5.3. Might come later but not sure, I don't think they've said there would be a version in 5.x, although I guess they would at least do a little one in 5.5 eventually.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I thought it was ok to meh depending on the parts, Pagos was real fucking bad and slow until it was buffed 50times, but I liked Anemos(solo aspect and stuff) and then Pyros(Logos actions). Hydatos was inbetween, it was too slow imo but they never buffed it even after ShB launched which fucking...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    A lot of people were asking for content like that, they did it, some people liked it, some didn't, it's worth at least trying. It wasn't even nearly as bad as the old days either, it only took like 2minutes to go to the spots instead of 30mins, and you could generally find groups instantly since...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    A lot of them were great though from what I understand. Some not so great. There is some new ones too, forgot which site had a list with the sources and a few were from Torghast anima effects rather than legion legendaries.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Man I click on a stream since there's a decent amount of viewers so maybe there's new content, took 15seconds for the guy to walk through the floor and fall off the station. I get that fixing ALL collision bugs is a hard process but this shit seems to happen way too fucking often still.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    To be fair, in a realistic futuristic large ship versus large ship battle, it's not like you'd have one person manning every gun, shit is just press a button and fire all the things until it explodes. As for slow movement if they're gigantic ships that'd be pretty "normal", as far as SF space...

    Playstation 5

    Yeah main reason I'm considering it is playing PS4 games. God of War, Ghosts of Tsukishima and Red Dead 2 probably. At the same time I'm not a big fan of these genres so I don't know if I'll bother. I still need to pickup a Switch to play some games on that too and it's more stuff in the genres...

    I mean the idea would be to remove all such systems, not keep them all over time, and stop adding them. It's how wow used to work and how FFXIV does things too. In XIV you have Beast Tribes factions, and basically all they gives is cosmetics(transmogs, pets and at the max level a unique mount)...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think that's the "master" within a covenant thing only, covenants are locked currently, you pick the one you want at the end of the leveling and that's it, your character is now always that covenant, locked to its abilities and other systems. If you want to change covenant, you have to reroll...

    Amazon isn't a reliable source for video games releases that aren't officially announced. They just fill in whatever and fix it later.
