    V Rising

    Yeah I just use solo since I have no real interest in the multiplayer thing, works fine, server "shuts down" whenever I close the game(servant missions keep ticking though so you get your loot when you wake up as you would normally), there's really nothing complicated about it either and in fact...

    V Rising

    Been playing this the past few days, it's really good, scratch that Terraria itch, it's very heavy on combat with lots of bosses which I like, there's some grinding but not too much(and it's mostly combat grinding too, don't really gather that much, mostly ores every new tiers). Lots of stuff to...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    It's tied to one of the DLCs iirc, the chtuluh one that adds a bunch of horror/tentacle themed classes. It's a very lategame option that kinda breaks the game, because as long as you have money, you can craft near perfect items and doing that in a few spots(weapon and gloves were the most...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    You can only learn specific things outside of your class mechs, none of which is shields. There's the escort rewards and the static quest rewards but most are of them are kinda bad, a few are good situationally(Anti Magic for example can be nice if the class allows it without fucking you over)...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    I think after a few runs I just used one of the DLC appearance that doesn't change with gear(mostly the naked lady with tentacles) cause most of the runs you end up looking like a fucking clown and the items are way too useful in this game to use shit for appearance. I think there's an...

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    Big money figured it's cheaper making GaaS/live service shit games than shit mmos, so when they crash it's less of a problem. Market saturation to an extent also with lots of ppl already playing other mmos and while willing to play new ones, would always compare it to a 10-15year old game with...

    Total War: Warhammer

    For the Dwarfs there's some issues with the new Grudge mechanic that makes it scales too quickly, they already made a post about planned changes though(I'm guessing the week after next). Basically it scales based on known factions, but if you run around with a hero and especially if you start...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    Na last "real" patch is June 2021. In may 2023 they did release a patch that was a few bug fixes and modding changes in preparation for the DLC beta, and in july they released a 2 lines patch that fixed some website stuff, but for the most part there hasn't been one of the bigger patches they...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    Yeah I'm not saying it's incomplete or whatever, just that patches have stopped for a while, while many other roguelikes still constantly patch random shit in every now and then(DCSS for example gets patches every few months with new shit). The game could also use bugfix patches, there's always...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    I picked up Barony last week and playing that atm, I don't find it that unfair, the only real thing like that is boulder traps and I guess some puzzle rooms(especially the one which involve boulder trap). Rest is somewhat straightforward. Still getting my face punched in by skeletons and rats on...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    Depends on how familiar with the game, but usually 25 to 30hours isn't uncommon if you're not playing really fast. I think people who play fast get it down to like 6-10hours or so but personally my fastest runs were still around like 18hours I think, I like to take my time to consider the...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Early access was already like that. What they're changing is "headstarts" type things like preorder to play 3days early which is popular in mmos or buy deluxe edition to play 3days early which is popular with Ubisoft/EA shit. These wouldn't count until official launch, so it was quite possible...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    To be fair some people basically only play this game, so spending 30$ a month instead of 12 doesn't really matter that much, it's like how some people buy a dozen of fantasia a month cause they're obsessed with glamouring stuff and they also need the retainers to hold all that gear and stuff. I...

    No Rest For The Wicked - A Souls Like ARPG

    If you buy physical games you can still do that(well pending whatever rules your shop has). If you just want to play the games for free though there's still a pirate scene and while Denuvo has fucked up the availability of some games, you can still get a good amount of them that way.

    No Rest For The Wicked - A Souls Like ARPG

    It's 2h baseline but depending on your history and the game they will refund sometimes. 2 hours should be plenty to refund games that don't work or demo things you don't know you will like, point isn't to clear a game and then being like "meh I didn't like it I want my money back", there's...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You can use the actual benchmark with your saved character though(replaces the default MC) so you can get an idea already of how it works in real conditions, but it's interesting they're going out of their way to do this now instead of just "fixing it later". They've said several times in...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I liquidate all my old shit whenever a new expansion launches. I really don't need a full retainer of old mats that I will probably never use. If I need old stuff I'll just buy some, or go gather it if it's not for sale(but nowadays with server hopping it's pretty much impossible to not find...

    No Rest For The Wicked - A Souls Like ARPG

    I mean it just started and V Rising is about done with EA after like what, 2 years, so yeah obviously they're not gonna be at the same level. I usually don't play/buy games in EA though so for me it wasn't even a question, I'll see the state of the game once they announce a release, until then I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah spider mods have been a thing for many years, very few people affected but also kinda costs nothing to swap models usually so as an option it's whatever, usually it's just modded for people who want it though. You see it especially often in ARPGs due to the point of view so the spiders end...

    Smite 2

    I thought MTXs ported over in this cause it was just a graphical upgrade, is it confirmed they're just resetting everything? Cause that sounds pretty fucking dumb.

    Black Desert

    You can but it's inefficient. Imo it's just way faster to buy the armor, or the flame if it's for sale and you want to enhance yourself for your name on the item(last I played there were plenty for sale but that was when they just buffed Dekiah Turos, not sure about now). I did solo for a couple...

    It went live in KR but won't be live in NA/EU until the 24th.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Supposedly Viper is inspired by Zidane from FFIX, I haven't played it but I've seen several people mention this expansion has some references to it(some dungeon name and such). Also it's fairly different from Ninja cause the 2 blades can be combined into a double bladed "staff", meanwhile no...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Standard Bard shit. Meanwhile Dragoon looking exactly the same as the past 5 expansions or whatever. Just less shitty textures on the armor. Personally pretty happy with the classes I usually like, Monk armor looks neat and the weapons are somewhat new design, I like dancer's outfit a bunch...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    There's a few "dungeons" in DD2 but yeah they're not that great overall and there's not many. It also doesn't help that they're all mostly optional. Ancient Battleground kinda has nothing leading you there other than one NPC telling you about it(without a quest), the Bandit Hideout is on the way...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Na DD1 without DLC was still better than DD2 endgame. DD2 postgame is really weirdly designed, there's not that much new stuff(there's 2 new bosses but you only fight them once, twice if you fucked up some stuff lategame before postgame), you do get to fight some rare enemies more often...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Na combat is next live letter in about a month, they did say they're reworking Dragoon and Astrologian a long while back. The new effects also mostly look like higher tiers of existing skills, so it's possible most classes will only get some qol and like one passive that might switch things up a...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Lastest liveletter stuff. They've shown the benchmark trailer(which has teasers for new skill animations for every class as well as gear sets and stuff like that, available in a couple of days to use on your own PC), the new graphical improvements a bunch, they're adding a much more robust...

    Had to google it, makes sense since that company didn't make any games, they were somewhat recently made and hadn't released anything yet. The guy in those twitter posts and stuff apparently worked at a bunch of bigger things and notably co-founded ArenaNet(who made Guild Wars) and worked for...

    Still seems to be 60 on the PSN and Switch websites as far as I can tell? Seems early to drop it especially since their sales didn't do poorly presumably(they sold out the physical editions in Japan in less than a week, although they probably didn't make that many either but still they likely...

    I'm sure you could make it profitable, but if it was successful enough they'd just make their own version of "premium appliances" or whatever, undercut you, sign exlusive contracts with your suppliers, eventually run you out of business, buy you out, then progressively make the same thing as...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    That was back when they were making mobile games though right? Not super related and yeah when that shit was big there was a lot of that stuff, as I mentionned the korean mmos I saw did several changes "just in case of", DFO changed a bunch of sprites, BDO changed an emote on Shai and like some...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    Seems it's related to all the hubba wubba in Korea this past couple of years where there was this huge pushback against a radical feminist group(Megalia) and then every video game companies starting changing a ton of stuff that could maybe remind people of the logo(a hand with fingers close...

    My TV isn't connected to internet so not too many issues with it. It's a Sony I bought a few years ago. Just sucks you can't really buy non connected TVs anymore, just gotta hope the firmware is good enough baseline. At most connect it once then never again(I did update the firmware when I got...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    The contract for this might not be as restrictive as a big game like God of War though, but yeah I wouldn't hope for it anytime soon either. I might pick it up on PS5 though, but we'll see how I feel about it when it releases(also need reviews on length)

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    All you have to do is hire a random woodland pawn when you go to the elf city, then dismiss once you're done. There's really not much elven stuff that you need a pawn fully for it, the main sidequests have fuckboi translating for you, the sister who speaks with an accent and then more fuckboi...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Yeah I liked it a lot, Ricochet is super broken in caves but kinda worthless outside so it's balanced in that regard, until you run into a cave with a campfire in front then you can just switch to it and clear the cave in seconds. That shit killed a minotaur 2 rooms in when I fired it twice at...
