Holy fucking fuck

So this is what taking acid is like...

While no entirely new weapons seem to have been announced, in both this latest trailer and the teaser one from the living story, I thought I spotted characters using spears. Could be that's what warriors will be getting. Kinda surprised they didn't announce a new race as well, though.

It's almost certainly not going to be a perfect mirror of the tabletop game, but there is Total War: Warhammer in development, which is something at least.

It's still in closed beta. And yeah, it's still basically a building game, just one that now has some foundational gameplay elements like simple combat. Apparently sometime this year it'll expand to also be a DMing game, with the ability to place mobs and design their AI, but I doubt...

This.

So, out of a strange sense of obligation to finish a series once I start it, as well as a perverse sort of entertainment in seeing what new thing Goodkind was going to pop his hate-boner over, I actually finished the God-damned Sword of Truth. And Christ, people were not exaggerating about how...

They seem to be having a bug with getting things to respawn in the caves. So yeah, shit's a bit empty down there right now.

Servers are up, btw. Patching now.

For those looking forward to the PvE and caves patch, that was supposed to happen today, but got pushed to Wednesday. Ponytail's been tweeting updates over the weekend, and apparently a bug that kept mobs from spawning in caves threw them off schedule.

Dark Souls 2 Mordor also deserves an honorable mention; the Zero Punctuation review pretty much sums it up-not only is it good, but it's good in spite of being a movie license game which is in turn based on a beloved book license. It so easily could've been a shitty cash-in, but it wasn't...

Close, but I didn't see Megan Fox anywhere in there.

Ending on Zelda...

Just showed Witcher 3, and announced that Geralt wouldn't be the only playable character (although they haven't unveiled who the other character is)

And now showing shiny new Bloodbourne footage.

Up now, btw.

Not with the immediately upcoming patches, but I do recall them saying that they'll be screwing with that stuff in transition from closed to open beta. They did get a lot of positive feedback on the layout of the Foundation Museum island, so I'd expect something that looks like that.

Especially if you missed the boat due to poorly designed zone geography. At the Freeport dock the boat would sit weirdly high in the water-too high for, say, a dwarf to actually jump on to the boat without first jumping on to one of the dock's support beams. The first time I tried to make the...

Yeah, they aren't a launch race. Iirc, the launch races are humans, elves, dark elves, dwarves, ogres, kerrans, iksar, and halflings and/or gnomes.

Thepollfor the next Workshop went up today, with the choice being between dwarves and ogres. This time around they provided some concepts and descriptions of the two races, to allow a more informed choice. They also released a new ebook,the Razor's Edge, dealing with the ogres.

Just did a quick trademark search (Skyrim's trademark was up for a couple years prior to the game being announced), and there's no trademark for Argonia; so yeah, calling bullshit on this one. (Well, there is a trademark on an Argonia brand of bathroom accessories, but that's not exactly...

Just got back from seeing this, so figured it was time to resurrect this thread. It was...pretty much what you'd expect from the commercials: if you're looking for something deep or nuanced, pass this by; if you're looking to turn your brain off and watch Dracula wreck shit, then this wasn't...

So the devs went and snuck in an update to the Blueprint recently:https://forums.station.sony.com/land...8-27-14.34413/ Looking at that, assuming they don't suffer too many delays, my estimate of a January open beta looks to actually be right on the money.

They have acknowledged on the livestream that all the bunny hopping and shit is a problem, and that they intend to fix it. So yeah, I imagine that will show up in October.

I'm guessing some time in January.

*chuckles* naturally, like an hour after I posted that, I go back and give it another go, and clear it in one try. Go figure. I'd say he was harder than Smelter 2, but at least I could reasonably take down Alonne with magic (playing a sorcerer). After seeing the pitiful damage soul spear did...

I'm trying it wrap up the Iron King DLC, and Jesus fucking Christ, Sir Alonne; more specifically, the approach to Sir Alonne. This is one of those fights where you just need to resign yourself to getting your shit pushed in a few times while you learn the ins and outs of the fight, and yet every...

Well, they are planning to release a video discussing the StoryBricks stuff from SOE Live, which they've said will probably include some stuff that wasn't sufficiently finished to show during the panel. Shouldn't be too far off now, the last dev post regarding it said that they were finished...

According to the Blueprint, next month is basically supposed to be nothing but performance optimization and polishing the currently-existing features, so things should be in a better place in a few weeks.

Btw, they just mentioned on the Landmark livestream that they plan to redo the Storybricks panel, and post the video online-so we should get a version of that panel that we can actually understand, eventually.

Not quite; they are two standalone games, but Landmark is essentially about letting the players play around with the tools being used to create EQN, the result initially being an online Minecraft sort of game, but with the ultimate goal being to allow people to play dungeon master, and create...

On the topic of the classes and the keywords attached to their abilities, my understanding of it is that there are no hard restrictions on what sort of keyworded abilities a class can equip (so, a tempest can equip wizard abilities, even though none of the wizard abilities are Nature, Physical...

Even if there isn't (and if there isn't at launch, I would fully expect god-specific cleric, pally, and sk classes to show up eventually), with multi-classing, it shouldn't be too hard to custom-make one if you wish. Take a paladin, mix in some druid, and you've got a paladin of Tunare (or I...

The Islands of Landmark panel: And the Combat in Landmark panel:

One of the patches in the lead-up to caves caused a large performance hit, that they haven't been able to fix yet (well, some of their attempted fixes actually have fixed it for a few people, but most people still have shitty fps). Multi-threading is supposed to be fairly close to done, and the...

The EQN Content/Storybricks panel Even using headphones with the volume cranked up, it's hard to understand the Storybricks guy, but there's still a lot of cool shit here. If they can pull off half of what they talk about, this is the thing that'll truly transform the genre.

Picture of the map of Antonica someone tweeted from one of the panels: Guessing the purple swirly thing is where Takish Hiz got nuked.

Yeah, one of the patches around the time they added caves brought with it a fairly huge performance hit that they haven't been able to fix yet. However, multi-threading is supposed to be reasonably imminent, so shit should be running somewhat better after that hits.

Skills have keywords attached to them, and those are what gear and passives target to alter your abilities. (So, tempest abilities will generally be affected by buffs that target the Nature or Lightning keywords.

Class panel getting ready to start up.
