This is actually looking like it might be fun. Wasn't on my RADAR at all until now but it seems very Jade Empire mixed with Infamous.

The MCU has been great about bringing life into otherwise cast-off characters. Circa 2012 aint nobody thinking Star Lord, Rocket Racoon, etc. were anything other than D-listers who existed on the very fringe of the Marvel Comics multiverse. Not having the IP for some of the big hitters from...

Well it was initially just the pilot episode for Star Trek 2 where they had to introduce the three major new characters in a big way. While Xon got fucked over when Nimoy signed on after it switched from a new TV series to a motion picture, the other two were still central to the original plot...

I think you misunderstood my point. There is a population of people who aren't going to just buy the system for the sake of having it but rather will be motivated to do so when a game they are anticipating comes out. If I go 'oh! I want to play that, please sell me a copy and a console to play...

All the major kids have powers that match their parent. Though Hutch has no powers.

The true test will be how available the system is by the time Horizon Forbidden West launches. Having a killer app to sell systems doesn't help if you can't actually sell systems.

Still wondering how the world goes from some alien cloud/Zordon giving 6 'twenty somethings with attitude' super powers to having a whole plethora of super beings running around including, apparently, wizards. Then again we don't have a real hard fix on how many powered people there are. It...

Having read the comic synopsis now I am convinced they want to decompress the fuck out of this. Otherwise why cast the show as they did with much of the cast as age appropriate for the 1929 sequence. Not sure if they do Gold, Silver, ane Bronze ages or not. Might just jump to the 50s for...

Okay I sucked it up and went with Quickplay random... And it was actually a lot of fun. Mostly boardgamer types and the people were generally quite competent (though literally every game had a guy/girl couple where the girl was confused)

Yeah the 1929 storyline is the clear winner. The 'present day' part with the tortured son and cunt-bitch daughter are very tired.

Oh lord... https://io9.gizmodo.com/why-star-wars-fans-are-concerned-about-the-bad-batch-an-1846831469 So they update the lighting rig for their animation pipeline and everyone concludes that they are whitewashing the clones + Kanan. Its like the whole Overwatch 2 McCree thing all over again.

Only been able to play Demeo on Skirmish mode as my only buddy with a VR setup is in the middle of moving and packed his Oculus stuff away... I suppose I could try QuickPlay or something but I have developed a deep-seated fear of randos. The visuals on this are exactly what I was hoping for...

Well episode 2 is essentially standalone adventure. Has some character stuff for Omega but we aren't any closer to figuring out her deal. Did Cut not have an inhibitor chip? I don't recall enough from 'The Deserter' but at that point I don't think the existence of the chip had been...

People seem to be losing their shit because the stunt person for Inej was a white woman. What's going to be the reaction when someone goes 'Sorry were going to have to recast the role as a white person because we can't find a brown female stunt performer here in Eastern Europe'?

Well they also avoid stepping on the release dates of their own films wherein they try to lure people back to the temples of contagion and misery. (Note that many cinemas could be described as such even before a global pandemic)

I tried, and failed, to play Dragon Age 2 several times. Initially it was because I was a big fan of Origins and did not care for the sudden tone shift and dumping of the protagonist that you developed over the course of what amounts to a game-long prologue. Subsequent attempts fared a little...

Comes out tomorrow. They've already announced additional modules releasing progressively.

These are good points... The obvious counterpoint being that the clones could at least shoot and hit things.

The core plot element of Tarkin being concerned that the clones aren't good enough soldiers to support the needs of the Empire made me laugh.

Yeah the start was a surprise for certain, but a welcome one. Omega should be a fun puzzle to figure out. I have several ideas already:

Wait what... You only use soul ash to create the one legendary you get to use? What the fuck is the point in having A currency that is only good for buying one item.

I have a mix of 49 and 50 gear with carefully chosen stats and I just barely managed to survive a 13 Archways... The Strix in particular are way the fuck too dangerous and are far more of a challenge than any boss or elite.

Meant to watch this a long time ago but finally getting around to it. Enjoying it a lot and I'm only part way through season 1. Love this sort of alternate history thing and the cast is top notch.

Funeral Pyre is money. I don't have Fortress so I use Shadow Comet on my Roaring Umbra for melee Dev and it feels like I'm cheating.

I'm not buying the 'COVID caused us to be bad' narrative from developers. Nearly every white-collar / office job over the past year has done the exact same 'work from home' schtick and most of them are doing just fine. I fail to see how the developers needed humans to be sitting in a specific...

So the choices seem to be : melee with some range, fast melee, slow melee and stand-around-in-melee-range-and-get-hit Yeah I know they wanted to stick to a given part of the licensed property but good lord Icewind Dale has always had the most incredibly dull character concepts. The fact that...

Several of the expeditions just seem to have overtuned timers. I can dial the difficulty back to almost nothing and still have a hard time getting gold on a few of them just due to the time it takes to chase down outliers and runners. The difference between console and PC cannot be...

Yeah the hard to grasp part about the 'medieval setting' with locomotives, gas lamps, pistols, machine guns, women as soldiers, bullet-proof kaftans and magic users throwing fireballs and snapping bones with a gesture is that there are gay people in world that also features a LOT of casual sex...

Watching that video was highly triggering to me. I kept yelling 'PUNCH THEM' at the screen. Archways is just made for melee Dev, never even come close to missing gold on that and used it everytime I wanted to increase my rank.

Whoever is adapting the material seems to have a solid grasp of what they are doing. I would not have suspected that we were watching two different 'series' of books that had been merged into a single timeline by juggling and shifting events.

When you level up an item that you have upgraded the attributes on it knocks off one tick of the upgrade. Basically each of the ticket is +1 item level for that attribute alone. Of course it could be something else as well, but I definitely had some attribute increases decay to nothing after...

Cole was pointless and the final stinger of him going to go find Johnny Cage was just adding insult to injury. Cole is the Gwildor of Mortal Kombat. I appreciate that they used characters from across the whole series so that they could keep a bunch of fighters to kill off in each while still...

I've not read the comics, but I get the impression that Atom Eve is ludicrously powerful in a way that many people do not fully understand.

Did anyone else notice that the new suit had two redwings? When he catches the truck there are redwings helping on either side of him.

Watched first episode and it seemed decent enough. Sort of a Russian Avatar the last Airbender but with added thieves and whores. Definitely a fairly high fantasy.

There may have been some time as part of the plot shifts they did a year after the original production.

John Walker needs therapy... he needs like ALL the therapy. That boy is nutters (and yet Wyatt Russell killed it as the character so I'm happy) So will they now have a season of Captain America and the Winter Soldier?

Hit WT15 on my techno and it is genuinely much harder than on my melee Devastator. I will say that playing my Dev has gotten me more accustomed to using melee with the other characters when mobs get in too close and that has saved my bacon many many times. Still not sure what the expedition...

Armor pierce is nice on a gun for an Anomaly build if you use the mod that gives you Skill pierce for armor pierce. I like using Shadow Comet with Anomaly Mutation as you can get extra benefit from your high anomaly power and status effect by having burn, toxic and bleed on all at the same time...
