    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I enjoyed the game. Felt a little diablo 2ish, much less cartoony than d3. Played a necro first beta, did sorc then rogue to 20 for this one. Rogue felt the most solid and powerful but reading it might not scale well in end game? That sucks because I thought sorc felt a little weak / clunky and...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Game would have to really kick ass to get me to play a non-turn based final fantasy. 7 remake was garbage because of action combat, even the setting "classic mode" or whatever was way off the mark.

    Age of Wonders 4

    Seems to be getting good reviews and the negatives are performance based so I'm intrigued. I played the shit out of one of these, might have been 3, and really enjoyed it. I'm a little confused about a few things though. This is launched without a campaign? So you are just playing sandbox...

    Fires of Heaven and our continued disappointment

    I've accepted there will never be another experience in my life like Everquest. It was a combination of me being a teenager with unlimited time, the internet being somewhat new, and my first experience with an mmorpg. I wish DAoC and WoW would have been spaced out further so that I could have...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    How bad is the rogue nerf with imbue ? I played necro in beta, I was already getting annoyed at the wizard skels that took damage as they cast and had to repeatedly be summoned every fight so if they're making pets die more I'm out on that. Was hoping to pick something other than sorc because...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I'd agree with most of that except the UI was fine for me on PC. My complaint as a casual gamer and not one that plays arpgs like poe and grim dawn is the itemization dictating your build or vice versa. The +.4% stuff is lame. I felt like there were way too many aveneus to upgrade your gear...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Yea, I was just looking for feedback on the gameplay. I didn't realize arpg had to adhere to strict guidelines when it comes to items and specs (admitedly the last arpg I played was D3, so I've missed the whole PoE / Grim Dawn / Last Epoch phases). This type of arguing is probably why game...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    That's encouraging, I would probably only play the game up through the story anyways. I've never been able to get too into all the grindy stat maxing aspects of end game aarpg.

    Last Epoch

    Still tempted to try it based on the hype. I think grim dawn's graphics just didn't grab me either. This one looks a little more vibrant. I'm clearly trying to talk myself into buying a game I have reservations about.

    Last Epoch

    This just showed up on best sellers in steam and I had seen the recent chatter here. I assumed it was a new game but looks like it was released in 2019? Is it just the new multiplayer feature that's drawing interest now? I tried grim dawn a long time ago and refunded it, something didn't grab...

    New World

    TL;DR - Fun as shit leveling up first time, Unfun as shit grindfest at max level. I really enjoyed the game while I leveled up a character to max. Beautiful game, great sound effects and music. Amazing combat compared to all other mmorpgs. Love the storage system. At some point along the...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    If you pre-ordered from amazon, check what the delivery date is. I pre-ordered months ago and it just showed my deluxe edition as being scheduled for March 8. Promptly canceled and ordered through best buy.

    Fucking so looking forward to this game. I'm usually let down when I have this level of hype.

    New World

    Thanks for the suggestion. I checked it out and it looks like they had a problem with no sound at all. I'm in an odd spot with partial sound. Kind of like if you were listening to a band and they removed the drums, main guitar, and non-chorus lyrics and you're left with a keyboard bass guitar...

    New World

    It seems to be a pretty unique issue. I've seen some forum posts about npc voiceovers not working or other corrupted audio issues, but I've never seen a proposed fix beyond the recommendation to check file integrity. Seems like all of those posts get the token greeting from a cs rep and then...

    New World

    Well I picked this up after not having played since beta. I was super unimpressed by beta so that first impression plus the reviews and dupe bugs and all that kept me away until it went on sale a couple weeks ago. I have no idea what the end game is like or if I'll enjoy it at all. Probably...

    Persona 5

    I played the non-royal edition a few years ago. I think I ended with about 106 hours played which is pretty impressive given my tendency to flame out on games really quickly. I enjoyed the shit out of it, but did find it incredibly easy towards the end of the game (and maybe a bit repetitive -...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Well fuck I just finally gave in and paid for a new sub for wotlk classic. Haven't played wow since wotlk and was hoping to level a few classes and do some dungeons. Classic doesn't strike me as a good place for that. No dungeon finder and most of the lfg spam is for higher level stuff, but...

    Project 99 - Green Server announcement

    Getting an itch to jump in and run around a bit just for nostalgic purposes. Maybe solo a bit on a necromancer or something. Does this server have all the classic zones (nektulus, toxxulia, Freeport) and original models? If not Is there anything like that existing? I tried logging into the f2p...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    So I really only tend to come back for an expansion , level a couple of dps , a healer , and a tank to max level and do all the raids on normal. I use ACT dps meter and enjoy trying to optimize rotations and gear to max my dps. I have a ninja with basically all the best tomestone gear and 590...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    What's causing the negative feedback about NIN? I haven't read through their forums, but it looks to me that it's a decent personal dps boost but I guess the negativity is that the utility is reduced because mug is on a longer timer? It does seem pretty stupid to move trick attack effect to...

    Total War: Warhammer

    I think I'd enjoy the siege battles more if the pathing wasn't such absolute shit. It seems like their template for settlement design was a variable height swastica for units that can barely make it through a straight passage. You can be fighting against a unit that has 78/80 clumped in front...

    Subnautica

    Kinda agree with the previous comments, though I think I tried to jump from 1 to 2 way too close together. I beat Subnautica 1 about 3 weeks ago, game was freaking amazing. Without posting spoilers the end game is plagued by poor performance in a couple of areas and due to some travel methods...

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    Really enjoying the game. I get the reason for not saving, but I don't see why a "save and exit" with a single load back in couldn't be implemented. One thing I'm wondering though without giving away too much.... After you beat the third boss, I could see someone wanting to start a fresh game...

    Thanks guys, always helpful here. I am leaning towards the same.. We've not even gotten passed the first Aeons End nemesis, I think we still have the crooked mask to beat, so I'll go ahead and do the backorder version for November of Dice Throne and maybe look into a few more expansions on...

    I have all the dice throne season 2 characters and my wife and I love it. Seriously considering DTA because my wife does not beat me very often and the coop aspect seems like something we could get into. We play aeons end and have a great time there. The only place I can find DTA is on ebay...

    Yeah, star realms was a no brainer from reading everyone's responses so I went ahead and ordered it. I didn't realize that Season 1 was going to be up to par with season 2, I thought you had to keep them as standalone. That's really good news (well not for my wallet, because I'm going to buy...

    Board Games

    So a few months ago I asked for some recommendations for my wife and I - my wife being a little less willing to take on complex games like Mage Knight, etc.. and needing a "random" aspect of a game to beat me. I'm not amazing, she's just bad at strategy. Was recommended Dice Throne and Clank...

    Awesome, thanks a bunch for the suggestions. Looking into all these recommendations. Leaning towards Clank and Dice Throne because they look to be up her alley. Going to order one or both here shortly! The best part, not too pricey because there's a good chance even if I think she'll like...

    Looking for some recommendations for my wife and I to play. She gets a little turned off by super complex games, I tried teaching her mage knight and she wasn't having it (admittedly, it's a little too much for me as I have to watch a bunch of videos to get back up to speed every time I want to...

    Interesting. I'll have to see what they add. I had just chalked it up to a game that wasn't for me after playing a few hours. I don't really care about crafting and gathering, and prefer mostly pve with pvp as a side thing. Probably still won't be my thing after the update but hopefully it...

    Nice, I have been using the agro tools to drop healer agro but 8 have to be honest lol, how does a ninja re-stealth during a fight to apply trick attacks more than once?
