    It's not like you actually get beer watching it though, so seems kinda weird. I guess just covering any potential issue, like "my kid was exposed to alcohol advertisement on twitch, I'm suing".

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Steam would just remove the key, no risk there. Other services is more risky yeah because unlike Steam, they don't generate free keys that the publisher/devs sell themselves on 3rd party websites like GMG and Humble, the keys are directly sold so doing a chargeback on them is doing a chargeback...

    G2A is basically ebay but for digital keys only. Which means wether or not you get the right stuff is up to the seller, not G2A themselves, you can see the seller on that page has a rating just like ebay. They'll sell you some bullshit protection shield system for an additional fee, but if you...

    Playstation 5

    Alienware is overpriced shit though. Granted I don't think you can build a 500$ PC that's actually as good as a PS5 will be, won't be even close. PC is definitely more expensive, even if you don't count a monitor because you plug it into a TV. But you certainly don't need 2k to buy a decent PC...

    Hyperbole, downloading cracked games is infinitely easier AND safer than actually stealing a console or PC or games. I'd say it's a valid argument to recoup the difference, but cracked games sometimes have issues with multiplayer and patches(especially smaller games) so it's not really perfect...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They could make it a weekly that only gives the rewards at the end of the week, based on your best run. If you get a good run right away or don't care and just want the weekly shit, you do one run and you're done. If you get shafted or like it, you keep doing runs and at the end get rewarded for...

    JRPGs

    Well in this case from what I've heard Ryza was pretty well received, although being the first in the new series there's some issues that probably will get fixed in the 2nd one and such. I personally only tried one Atelier and didn't like it, so I've been waiting for a deep sale to check Ryza...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Welcome to 8years ago or whenever they started? Squadron 42 was supposed to be a small part of the game focused on the combat and with a single player storyline, to promote the main game and was meant to be released a lot earlier than the full game. This went... well not so great obviously...

    JRPGs

    On Atelier, they're kinda weird games. They're not bad, but they're not great either. Ryza got pretty good reviews though, it's the first of the "new series" so it has a bunch of changes compared to the previous series, but it's still kinda the same, the loop is pretty repetitive(go gather...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    FFXIV has a lot of buttons(24 to 32 or so depending on the class) and it works fine with a pad, you simply use combinations of triggers to generate new pages of keys(for example hold R1 for set 1, hold L1 for set 2, hold R1 then L1 for set 3, L1 > R1 for set 4, double tap L1 for set 5, double...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah if you have Road to 70, you basically will get way more xp than needed just doing the essential quest(MSQ, class and unlock stuff). It's good if you want to level several classes in parallel though, I did Paladin and Scholar with the buff off MSQ and daily leveling roulettes alone and got...

    Haven't played in like 4years or whatever so I'll be revisiting this once it releases.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Builds aren't like THAT important, you mostly as pointed out want to keep your options for damage types in check, and try to get like someone who can steal(makes a ton of shit easier) and someone who can do dialogue checks and one more with high wits to get first turn/discover stuff. So mostly...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Sybille works alright as Necro too, you can use the pool of blood from the racial to get the -1AP cost on necro spells talent. I haven't played a necro though so not sure how good they are. When I replayed it a few weeks ago to finally finish it, I went Lone Wolf cause I didn't want to bother...

    Playstation 5

    I was hoping it'd have back buttons like they did with the paddle accessory shit on the DS4, not sure why they didn't go with that. Pads could really use 2 additional buttons that are easily accessible(not the D pad, not select/share/create/whatever and start). Not a fan of how it looks but...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah just MSQ(the flame/meteor icon, there's a tracker for it if you didn't hide it in the top left of the screen) and blue quests which unlock content(dungeons, features like ventures/mounts etc or side content like Gold Saucer). Also they're blue but make sure you do your class quests every 5...

    There's always somewhere to go. Maps aren't randomized(they have some random elements but limited, only enemies/chests/teleport/spawn and such are randomized), so after a few runs you kinda know how the map looks and after a few more you know where the teleports are, but the big tip to find the...

    Not sure if your friend didn't tell you but you need both the lvl boost and the story skip if you want to catch up, if you just have the lvl boost you'll still have to do all the story.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    At first yes, they usually become cheaper to produce as it goes so they eventually start gaining a bit of money back, but it's not really that much, most of the money is from shit like the online passes both consoles require and the small amount of money every single game that's released on the...

    Shit's literally free this weekend, you can just check it out. It's a lot of fun, although obviously it won't appeal to everyone, it's pretty hard and kinda repetitive and sometimes the RNG's gonna fuck you in the ass, as it tradition with rogue-likes/lites.

    FCs are server specific, you can join linkshells(kinda like chatrooms) that are cross servers and just generally do most stuff cross server, but FC and where you can sell items on the market is still server specific. If there's any, it's best to start on preferred servers(they're noted on the...

    Grim Dawn

    I think I got the idea from his stream yeah, tweaked it a bunch to have more attack though. The dualwield is definitely better but at the time I had only the 2H, and no good 1H for the build, so it made sense to go with that. Dualwield is generally better just because of double components...

    Risk of Rain 2 is free to play for a few days until april 6th on Steam, rogue-like 3rd person shooter-ish game. Also HOB is free on Epic Game Store this week, been on my wishlist for a while although it had kinda mixed reception.

    Grim Dawn

    Shieldbreaker I played and it was quite fun, but I had a really good weapon(the big 2H fire mace Infernal Brimstone), I had the normal and the mythical version so it was smooth sailing even lvling. Build was a bit different than this since I was 2H but yeah works well. It can be quite fucky...

    Well it's up to you, personally I had no issues buying an additional retainer when needed since the entry sub was lower than a normal mmo sub, so entry sub+retainer is about the normal sub price. But otherwise you need to remove a lot of shit I guess. I have 2 retainers atm. One has all the...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Impressions seem pretty good, combat aside(which you like or you don't but obviously it's not the original turn based ATB combat). Someone claimed it took them 50hours to clear the game completely(side content too), so doesn't seem too short either, probably ~35hours for the main story and...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    The xbox has better specs, but the specs aren't really that far apart that it'd make a massive impact. Xbox have been ahead of the playstation all of current gen too(the One is a bit better than the PS4 and the S is a much bigger jump compared to the pro) but that doesn't help your sales that...

    Grim Dawn

    Right that was the one, and so it's not piercing for this one, it's lightning. But it's mostly fire that you want to overcap. He's just pretty rough, and moving around massively reduces his damage output especially since some of his fire shit loops back to him, and you can get hit by both the...

    Grim Dawn

    I said pierce but honestly I don't remember, I think if you google it you might find, or there was a site that listed monster skills too and you can check there what's dangerous. You definitely need to kite at times even on tanky builds, it helps quite a bit. Waiting for defensive...

    Grim Dawn

    Lokarr is pretty hard yeah, the build I farmed him with still randomly died every now and then(was nightshade+inquis dual wield piercing melee stuff, although dervish might be a better setup with low gear), but I got lucky on the drops and only had to kill him like 5 or 6 times for the whole...

    Path of Exile

    The problem is they took way too long already. Nerfing the 50-80ex builds people invested in is 100% sure to get these people to quit. Not nerfing them is 100% sure to get some other people to quit. It's like not even a month in the league(or maybe it's a month I'm not sure), so that's gonna...

    JRPGs

    MMOs tend to be a very different beast and yeah Steam generally doesn't help(Path of Exile too due to their patching system for example), but that's quite the hot take to think that because a few games suck on Steam versus standalone, the whole thing is going to disapear. FFXIV isn't even bad...

    JRPGs

    It's not that uncommon, although it's not great placement. Dark Souls iirc lets you dash like that(on top of holding circle), Monster Hunter World too(but it's mostly for auto running versus holding R1 for normal dashes). It's fine for long distances but feels clunky when you have to dash a lot...

    There's not too much clicking around, although inventory management is probably a nightmare if you're the type of person who loots everything.

    Grim Dawn

    This game has shotgun mechanics so if you stand on top of stuff you can sometimes insta die. Nemesis bosses can be a pain in the ass especially since they move super fast so they can chase your down for the entire map, sucks when they spawn on the way not much you can do if you can't kill them yet.

    I'm mostly considering a PS5 so I can buy the few PS4 games I'm interested in playing but don't want to play on my shitty brick PS4 with the 20hours loadings. Probably won't be buying at launch though, unless they have some interesting exclusives right away which I'm not sure will be the...

    Grim Dawn

    There's a few things that are ultimate only iirc and some zones don't scale to 100(or at least used not to) but not endgame stuff but yeah. The difference is however pretty big, you get a lot more loot in ultimate and considering how much loot you need to get to start getting sets and stuff, it...

    Anyone done with the league yet? Figure I might give it another try but would help if someone had a golem starting kit(tabula, primordial chain, primordial might, anima, primordial harmonies) or some currency like an ex or so.

    I saw a video on reddit of the 5 seals Arc shit, basically one shots all shaper guardians and seems to clear just fine too. Uses assassin+archmage stuff for big initial burst, shit looks pretty broken, it's not even the DPS that matters it's the initial damage burst. Aura stacking looks like...

    Low lvl combat you can try to sell although not worth shit. Low lvl crafting/gathering have value, can sell them to use the money to level stuff and buy them back later though and that's probably a better investment than keeping them to use once you're 80 since that's a long time away AND you...
