    Skyforge anyone following this?

    Your progress in the game is heavily based on grinding and at the same time capped by an arbitrary limiter you can pay to have it removed. So you either put your balls into a grinder for 3 weeks to get anywhere, or you drop potentially hundreds of dollars over the course of your playing to...

    Everquest II

    This makes me sad, I would have played the shit out of a true progression server for EQ2. The combat system might have been all kinds of fucked up, but to me it's still one of the games with the best group content ever. First time I stepped into Stormhold with my group we didn't leave until 8 am...

    Guild Wars 2

    Insider information is an issue with GW2 because previously worthless crafting materials can suddenly become literal gold mines (see Dulfy). So they can't have a test environment with limited numbers or that's just going to happen again. And since Anet seems reluctant to put anything in words...

    Guild Wars 2

    Good thing not everybody takes a shitty deal on videogames when he sees one. Old players get a free character slot, people who've bought the game between Jan 23 - Jun 16 this year from Anets website will get a refund on that purchase if they pick up HoT. Pre-Purchase CommunityAddress |...

    Guild Wars 2

    Name and character appearance changes are available, hairkits in particular are probably one of their best selling items. I mean, they have new items in the shop about every two weeks and unless it's something really shitty you see plenty of people running around with them. And that is fine...

    Guild Wars 2

    The average GW2 player spends more money on the game than they would for any other sub based mmo out there and Anet is expanding the gemstore on a almost weekly basis. Just because you don't have a sub fee for your game doesn't mean you can jack up the prices for expansions (while including less...

    Guild Wars 2

    I was looking forward to the expansion, but I won't buy it for that price, especially since there is no character slot included which is the biggest turn-off for me. Anet is fully aware that people still playing the game have plenty of characters; asking 50 dollar for an expansion which includes...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    In the ideal Mass Effect 3 ending you see the Normandy crashland on Gods know where. The next scene pans over to an N7 dogtag that is jerked up by Shepard suddenly breathing in. This gives them the opportunity to continue his story because OBVIOUSLY he survived all of that crazy shit on the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    There's a tremendous amount of violence inflicted on both genders; way to go with such a one dimensional approach and cry wolf about absolutely nothing. I'm fairly sure that it's just clickbait for the most part, 'OMG RAPE IN GOT AGAIN' just generates more money than 'things happened this week...

    Spring 2015 Anime Thread

    This might be the wrong thread but I only just now got around to watching the second season of Tokyo Ghould and what the FUCK was that? Is this one of these shows where the producers decided to abandon the show halfway through and just push out a bunch of episodes and call it a day?

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    If you're not starved for an rpg right now, you might as well wait. It's an average game, dragged down by bugs and odd choices on the devs part in terms of balancing and mechanics. By the time Obsidian has put out any actual patches, you can probably grab it in a steam sale. Overall I just...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    It's an Obsidian game. You can have Eder with saves in the hundreds or Kana with dozens of INT. Don't know what these guys were doing, but there's people saying the release version introduced previously fixed bugs again. Also, why are anonymous negs allowed, this shit is no fun. If I'm being...

    Doubleclicking armor to equip it causes your characters to permanently lose their talents. Thanks Obsidian, I'm sure it was the publishers fault for pushing so hard.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    How buggy and messed up is the game right now? I keep reading about a first patch which made your early savegames unuseable and turned all kinds of guns into terrible weapons by cutting their damage in half.

    It's pretty obvious at this point that Anet agrees on leveling being useless. There's no increased cap coming with the addon and they hand out leveling items like candy, although they're easier to acquire for established players who want to level an alt. My Revenant will play through the...

    Cities: Skylines

    I feel like I'm becoming dumber as the day goes on and I try to figure this out; but I can't find a decent way of hooking up the initial highway connection to the city. I usually place down a roundabout and connect both highway lanes to it, then one road goes to the north (residential) and one...

    Cities: Skylines

    I had a similar problem and eventually zoned some housing areas without a school nearby. I guess the over-educated issue happens if you focus too much on citizens education without giving the industry zones the proper means of upgrading. Although I don't really know yet what causes industry...

    So at this point everybody assumes EQNext is completely dead and they have nothing. If that is the case (and it really does look like it) why did SOE try to create some buzz for it? Why the Landmark hype, the devtalks, roundtables etc. when it was completely clear that they don't have anything...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    They're not alone on that front. CA wasted time on "impressive" facial animations for commanders in Rome II. Because you know, people playing strategy games (where a single fight has potentially thousands of actors) really want to zoom in close on their guys in all these epic moments!
