    Ascent: Infinite Realm

    Compared to what? Bless? Both of these games suck compared to BDO and Lost Ark, and somewhat even Bland World. I don't understand how some people can consider outdated graphics and clunky combat to be "good". Time travel?

    Ashes of Creation

    Pretty much every Western game I see in it's Alpha state, I think to myself, "ah, those animations need some work (compared to Korean stuff especially) but it's early! I'm sure they'll get around to doing a pass on that and tighten them up!" And. They. Never. Do. It's like Western devs don't...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Love how people just accept that Cap being able to slightly move the hammer means that Mjolnir somehow senses that Cap is sorta kinda almost but not quite worthy. The fucking Hulk couldn't budge it in full rage mode.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Except he is obviously faking. After he moves the hammer, he sees the look on Thor's face, resets his grip, tenses his arms and leans back. That's it, he doesn't try to lift it. Just watch the fucking scene. All the information is there.

    Ok, I guess I didn't see the fine print on Mjolnir that reads "He who is almost worthy can slightly jostle the hammer." :P

    The Ascent

    Yeah, on the technical side, there are some glaring issues. As far as I can tell, they could be fixed with more dev time. But, the art, the world, the music, the characters like Poone and Noghead? A+. Kira was a bit flat. And I wish she would shut the fuck up about the collateral damage. Bitch...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I know, right? It's not like he's in a battle for the fate of all life in the universe and takes a moment to ponder "I wonder if I'm worthy *now*? What about now? No? How about...NOW!?"

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    No? Cap was always worthy to wield Mjolnir. In the previous movie where Thor wants to see if he can lift it, Cap only pretends that he can't, so as not to hurt Thor's feelings or whatever.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Easy enough to get back on track. Just need the opening scene of Capt Marvel 2 to be her getting mindripped by the real Rogue, and left for dead at the bottom of a lake.

    Cosmic Sin (2021)

    This movie makes old Syfy originals look like Oscar winners. The dialogue and line delivery were terribad. Like I've seen drunk LARPers do better. And it's hilarious the look on the other actors faces when Old Man Willis is talking to them. You just know they are thinking "is the old geezer...

    Playing the RU version is even easier than it used to be, no need to deal with making a mail.ru email, and all that. Just any old email, making an account takes like 30 seconds. Download the launcher, download the game, and translation program. Fire up your vpn and you're good to go. You've...

    Well, Amazon is in an interesting position right now. With their flagship mmo Bland World about to launch, and the only real competitor is...Lost Ark, which they are publishing. Could be they just want to make sure they get those box sales from people who are "just looking for something to do...

    Cash shop currency. You know, how they make you buy a secondary currency, only in certain amounts, and set up prices of items so you'll always have some left over, but not enough to buy anything, so in order to use that little bit left, you'll buy more. Just the usual marketing stupidity.

    Lost Ark Online

    Using your example, in WoW, yeah, raiding is limited, but running dungeons isn't. Yes, time-gating is a thing in mmos. But, in LA it's not really time-gating, it's gold-gating. You are right, it would be disingenuous to say that those activities are not considered playing. Which is why I did...

    Lost Ark Online

    Once you reach level 50, technically you are AT endgame. There's just multiple tiers of "endgame." Although, probably just one tier at NA launch. Every tier has a GS requirement, but there's really not that much difference. Oh, we added some mechanics to this (story) boss that you haven't seen...

    The Ascent

    Some of the side quests are gated by the main story quests, which is fine, except the game doesn't tell you this, and actually misleads you. This side quest has a level 5 requirement, but you won't be able to do it until you've progressed to the level 12 main story quests, etc. Like, you can't...

    Lost Ark Online

    Wellll, there's not exactly that much incentive to have alts on your main account. The vast majority of your gold income comes from your labor points and your weekly epona bag, and those are account/server shared. You can use alts to do the content that gives you tradable upgrade mats, BUT that...

    Well, like I said, max gear score in RU is 1575, so the economy is different than NA will be at launch. NA will have up to Bern, where you hit 50. RU has Rohendel, Yorn, Payton, Papanuki, and South Bern. Each continent ups the max gear score. My Scout currently is at 1350 GS. I could burn 50k...

    Lost Ark Online

    It's has nothing to do with maximizing gold income. It has to do with being able to progress at a reasonable rate. Everything at endgame is gated by gearscore. In order to get to the next tier of gear, you need to get your current gear to all +15. Once you get to like +12 the % chance for an...

    Sorry if my shorthand was unclear. On my main account I have the 8 classes I like to play. I have 4 alt accounts, each with 2 level 50s, 1 also have a level 49 HK that I haven't felt like finishing yet. What I do: Log in alt account 1. Do my 3 dailies (6ish minutes). Work on my weeklies...

    Lost Ark Online

    They can't change it for the west. The entire game design/monetization is based around limiting your ability to earn gold. Yes, the combat is what interested me and keeps me playing. And what makes the leveling to 50 so tedious. It's like 15% combat, and 85% traveling and spamming "g" to skip...

    I mean, for all the issues I have with it, I've been playing it since RU launch, off and on. I have 8 50s on my main account, and 9 more on my alts accounts. I take breaks and then come back for certain events, or new class releases. I just would rather be able to earn my gold just by playing my...

    Lost Ark Online

    That's just it. There is no grind in Lost Ark. To try to push you to spend money, the things you can do to earn gold/mats are severely limited. So, you log in, do your weekly dungeon, ok that's done for the week. Weekly Epona quests, maybe 30 minutes or so a day, for 3 days, that's done. 3 daily...

    Yeah, the pay-to-progress is really retarded. You pay cash to get gold and upgrade mats to max out your gearscore aaaaanndd, do what? The only point of doing the content is to get gold and mats to upgrade your gear...

    The Ascent

    The kb/m controls seem fine to me. Just looks weird if you aren't running towards the cursor, which is what you're always facing. I just beat the game like an hour ago, no probs. And I'm almost 50, lol.

    Anyone else find it funny that your reward for eliminating a dangerous killer (bounty) is literally cab fare?

    The Ascent

    Doesn't fucking matter what it's called. When you also release on PC it's the devs responsibility to make sure kb/m works just as well. Since only console plebs are guaranteed to own a controller. Personally, I prefer kb/m in this game over the controller.

    The Ascent

    It's got some issues for sure, my own personal opinion is that many of them would have been alleviated if it was a PC/m-kb only game, but whatevs. I haven't run into any performance issues (3060 dx11 Ultra, getting 75+ frames on 144hz 1080p, no stutters) or bugs except for skins I pick up vanish...

    The Ascent

    I experimented some more and the weird facing with WASD is because your character is always facing your cursor, which is how you get the weird back/side stepping shit. Controller right trigger (no matter how fast you pull it) fire is blam..blam..blam.. Mouse is blamblamblamblam. It's a huge...

    Your cyberdeck has different hacking levels for different items (doors, chests?). Just started so I haven't run into this yet, just something I heard while watching Cohh's stream. Tried out controller and kb/m to compare and I prefer the movement on controller, because WASD is all janky, needs...
