    I played this at high settings on a 1080ti and had no issue for years. One day I load up the game and it was unplayable. Nothing I could to would fix the frame rate to keep from going from 10 to 20 fps and stuttering. Even a fresh reinstall didn't fix it. Fast forward a few weeks later...

    College Football 25

    With the exception to the NFL 2k series, NCAA has been my favorite football. Despite being very similar to Madden, NCAA usually plays much better than Madden. This year they knocked presentation out of the park, compared to where it started. The addition to names, bands, music, sidelines...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Is there any speculation to when the game might release? I haven't followed it, but I see the memes and comments about it having around $700m in funding and not being anywhere close to release. Is this similar to the Duke Nukem fiasco + an additional $675m+? Anybother good space games out...

    I don't recall the name of the guilds, but I got the one that effects the drops up to level 10. I'd go.and juice up the drop rate of various items so that I could get 4x to 8x the amount of drops. Despite that, I never got shit except duplicates. Going after a 1h dagger would lead me to...

    Lost Ark Online

    I think a lot of people wanted to like this game, myself included. The game does not have a healthy enough population to warrant someone trying to have a fun time going through the game. A large part of the community is elitist and 1%'ers, their bot army, and then the RMT bot army to support...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Probably has a lot to do with ESG scores and whatnot. There is no way all these CEOs across all businesses are making these decisions after seeing the fallout time after time and thinking that somehow it will be different in their case. Someone is financing these decisions. These narratives...

    Playstation 5

    I think the PS5 was the most hyped system to me in a long time. Not sure if it was a sad combination of it being hard to find because of the pandemic and being stuck in the house so I was yearning for something new. Turned out that I think I found one for $700ish during the height of the...

    As a veteran myself, I can tell you just from the circle of friends that I made throughout my time in service, most veterans that are rated high are not really " that " disabled. One of my best friends was in a hard landing in a helicopter and messed up his back. However, he was still able to...

    There are far too many variables these days to make blanket assertions when it comes to home ownership. Location is a huge one. While the idea of a co-ownership worked in your specific case, I'd wager it would be a very bad idea in a majority of situations. Timing is also a major factor. I...

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    The WoW quest model was far and away better for a majority of the player base. There was very little "questing" in Everquest at the end of the day. If you were not part of some organized raid guild, the majority of the population never really experienced most of what EQ had to offer. Now, its...

    There is still truckloads of cash to be made with mmos. They just need to stop releasing shit in such a broken state that 2 months into a game, no one wants to play anymore.

    I can echo the sentiments above. I played it and have enjoyed it as well. There are many aspects and mechanics that I do not firmly grasp yet, but figuring it out as I go. For $25 and only a single game developer, I am very impressed with what he has accomplished. I'm sure it will take quite...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I couldn't believe that every PoI was an exact copy / paste across every planet. I mean, every single cave you went in to had the same layout, the same note, the same computer message. Each building you went in to, exact same again with no variation. I couldn't believe it...they didn't even...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    I think it's a damn shame of what our entire culture has become. Star Wars was literally a license to print money, yet its become plagued with woke shit and trying to play into narratives and stereotypes....as opposed to just making a great movie or game.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This mmo is still fairly popular. The fact that everyone is on the same server means that the game always fills full, no matter where you are at. Ton of casuals, all the content stays relevant, the housing system is great, the storyline is fairly good with all quests voice acted as well...

    Everquest II

    It was fucking terrible. The only reason people were hyped for the game at that time was because the GoD expansion in EQ1 was awful and over tuned and people wanted to get in on the ground level of eq2. Performance aside, the itemization was not good, the combat was not good, most of the...

    I agree about the stories. I can't think of a single arpg that I know the first thing about the story. Other than loot, what is the growth mechanics in any other arpg? I'm not saying there may not be one, but I can't think of it. By the time the campaign is over in any arpg that I know of...

    I lose interest in most arpg once the game comes down to just a loot grind. Every arpg that I can think of boils down to the same thing, and I don't think there is really a long term viability to keep it fresh for too long. I think part of it is the mindset that games don't start until " end...

    Hit ctrl-z I think and it pulls all the loot back to the middle of the screen when you loot items.

    Have they done anything to make the core game any more fun? I can't really point my finger at really just one thing that I didn't like, as it was so many little things that just made the game a chore to play. I made it through one playthrough of the campaign, and that was about all I could...

    When you start your monolith journey, go up the right side and complete them for your blessings. Once you get near the top, 3 level 90 timelines open. Finish those 3 timelines and that will unlock the empowered monos. Once you start filling out the web, you will run across a node where that...

    I think that's because there is really not much more to look forward to in an arpg after you near level cap. I am the same way in every arpg for the most part. It's exciting getting new skills, new loot, and all of your passives as you level up, but once the levels stop, the skills and passive...

    The number of people pushing 2200 can be counted on one hand basically. The guy that is doing it for the most part also had gear funneled to him from others to help facilitate his end game gearing.

    RE: The black guy - I never.played forge guard, so have no experience there. 3 builds that I did enjoy was the VK Autobomber, Smith Hammerdin, and the Holy Javelin trail build or whatever. All 3 if those were solid pre 1.0, haven't played any of them post 1.0.

    Early on in the development cycle they came out and stated they wanted something other than the PoE type game play to where the entire screen explodes as you dash around. Different strokes for different folks, but watching a high end game stream of PoE is awful. Cast 1 or 2 spells, zip across...

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

    I think when you boil it down to the base level, there isn't really much in D4 that I would consider fun. I played 1, 2, and 3 all when they were relevant and in Era and they all had an enjoyment factor that kept you coming back for more. I didn't find that to be the case here in 4. Now, to...

    Starting out, 2k a pop is way too much. As you level up some. 2k becomes peanuts, so don't worry about it. I haven't had a need to test with 1.0, but in earlier versions you could just log in and out or zone from vendor to vendor and buy as many as you need. Edit: each class has some fairly...

    You can filter every item down to the very last stat that you are looking for. Once you figure it out, youll see that the loot filter is one of the greatest features of the game.

    Set items are not very good for the most part, nothing near like completing a set in Diablo. Once you start searching for end game items, trade is most certainly going to be used a ton.

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

    I think they would have to overhaul pretty much the entire game to get it up to standard. There are just way too many broken systems and core mechanics that blow my mind. I'm baffled that they fucked this game up as bad as they did.

    Such waste potential for what could have been a fantastic game. For the 17 real people that play it and have enjoyed it, awesome. The combat and classes in this game were phenomenal, the rest of the game was a dumpster fire though.
