There was no bigger supporter of Starfield than me. I was so excited to play it, and even with all it's...eccentricities, I liked but not loved it. When I hit the narrative wall and realized that in order to make NG+ easy for them, they basically killed their own story and universe, it broke...

Its so close to being good but also so close to being fuck you bad. The gestalt that exists between Asian companies and their customers is so weird; they seem to really hate their players but the gatcha/grind expectations are such that they barely even try. It doesn't seem like it would take...

I got Normal Lepic up to 12 or 14 and then decided to switch over to Valby and while the character level was one, she used all of the higher 12-14 level guns, with the mods and even the fire reactor I had for Lepic; I swapped that immediately, though, to a water reactor for the character. All...

Lots of people complaining that there isn't any match-making in Hard mode at the moment. Apparently the thought was it requires so much coordination they don't want PUGs in the game at Hard Mode but also no guilds, etc, so unless you do a pre-made outside of the game, you are never going to...

I just had an old friend who played Destiny/Destiny 2 reach out and swear up and down this is The Bomb™. So now I am going eat my previous post/words and download this game and give it a shot. Let's see how much money I spend.

F2P/Gatcha/P2W are all predatory mechanics of companies looking to take advantage of the worst aspects of their players human nature to make maximal money. It's a damn shame because so many of these games look so appealing. It's the same reason that Las Vegas looks so glitzy and poisonous...

I didn't see anyone answer this so my apologies if I missed it, he answers this at 8:20 in the video: -Golden Vow -Jellyfish Shield -Terra Magica -Howl of Shabriri Followed up by Flask of Wondrous Physik. This video was done in NG+7.

If there is anything they are working on fixing with the expansion, it's this. Microtransactions, horse armor, and community patches?

Do they want to spend the money now or spend the money later trying to repair a shitty game? Let's hire more DEI consultants to give in game characters pronouns. Who needs good textures, or to avoid loading screens, or a coherent narrative, or fun gameplay systems? We already paid for the engine!

I thought I had read that they were using UE5 for ES6; instead I find this, confirming that they are using the Creation Engine 2.0 for ES6? https://fandomwire.com/heres-how-starfield-would-look-like-with-unreal-engine-5-did-todd-howard-make-a-mistake-with-creation-engine-2-for-elder-scrolls-6/...

That's a super high bar to get over, and no established company is every going to be able to reach it, man, but I support your choice; I am hopefully for a Phantom Liberty style improvement, although I don't get that kind of commitment vibe from Todd. Perhaps my concerns have been addressed, or...

There are people who don't want to play games, I guess but would rather watch people play the games instead? I mean, I watch gameplay if I want to see what a game is like, or to see how something is done/a particular section is completed/what a raid is like/etc but there are apparently people...

Jesus, man that video was hard to watch, someone baring their soul about their mental shortcomings in front of the world. It's super cold blooded to laugh about a guy saying he doesn't feel like he can ever take any time off to recover, so many people depending on him, he doesn't ever feel like...

I was going to start a new game on the PC to train myself up but I have been watching so many videos I may have to see where I left off on PS5. This is <Wesley Snipes' Blade> Exciting. I still have some Diablo 4 to finish but now that's in jeopardy.

Some actors need the voice to make the character. I don't recall hearing that being part of his method but I am having a hard time remembering the last movie he was in where he used the "Tom Hardy" voice.

When I did my runs with Sorc I was amazed at how much easier it was to play a ranged character doing direct dmg than it was with the Barb, or even the Necro, who had the minions doing lots of killing but I had to walk right up to stuff to do my attacks. Leveling a Tornado/Wind shear/Poison...

They basically completely overhauled the way the game played from Launch to Season 4. They nerfed the hell out of tons of great builds at first, swinging the nerf bat like they worked at Verant rather than Blizzard (although I am told that my opinion is this rather overstated, much like the...

"Class balance is completely in the dumpster"=there's a variance of about 30 levels at the highest end of the Pit between the lowest performing class/builds (Druid) and the highest performing class (currently Sorc with the immortal flameshield/fire bolt build but Barb and Necro have easier paths...

We're at a place where many major companies in Media and entertainment have a serious disconnect from their audiences. They are staffed with ideologues and activists, steeped in of-the-day social movements, and think that they are making content for groups with outsized voices magnified by...

I just said when I do it. You said you wanted to game to push back. The game definitely pushes back.

You can have as much challenge as you want; just hit the Capstones earlier and then the Trial of the Horn/Pit/NMD and push sooner rather than later. Nothing is stopping you from doing it 5 levels sooner than you think. I am not a rusher/pusher etc but I did the WT3 at 40 and WT4 at 55 with all...

Holy Fuck, did someone actually send a real memo about fun? Are they really not going to fuck this up?

I am having a super good, no, GREAT time and then they roll out this $90 horse armor reminder that no, Blizzard is still a shit company that is completely stakeholder driven and this is a short reverie driven by Last Epoch and POE2. 50/50 that they go back to fucking it up in 2/3 seasons...

A friend of mine loved it, I went ahead and bought it and couldn't get into it at all; drawing cards to use your powers fucking sucks. And the non-combat portion is off the charts bad. I won't even claim it to have it on another service since its free because of the pixels it would take up in...

OMGosh, if you make a fun game focusing on the players and not the shareholder metrics, players will play it. News at 11.

There weren't any on maxroll.gg when I started mine but now there are a few floating around: While I find some of the others, Here is one from Rage Gaming Videos to get started:

It's so rare <gif of every game with girlbosses, tranny faces, and POC leads with queer story lines> ITS SO RARE. <gif of every major franchise in Hollywood with a few exceptions full of girlbosses, girls who are the key to everything, queer storylines, white villains, and POC leads> ITS SO...

I 100'ed a minion Necro and a Bash/Double Swing/Dust Devil Barb and then started a Sorc after watching an Incinerate Sorc in a couple of Blood Maidens. I have a buddy who is a 100 Sorc who plays Sorc exclusively every Season/Game ever and he was Frozen Orb, then Blizzard/Ice Spike, and another...

I bought in early for $250 bucks right at the start 2012, during Obama's first term at launch 12 years ago. I mean, Chris Roberts as a film maker wasn't great but he made great games. Now that he was back in his baliwick it has to be great, right? Now in Obama's 3rd term, if I had put that...

Xbox news is so depressing. I have loved the platform since its launch, I have always enjoyed the competition, I think the three different approaches to the console/gaming space is great, and watching them flounder while not really doing THAT badly, just not growing. Hardware is losing badly...

That sounds like a good idea but watching for the colors to drop and picking things up, ie the Loot Pinata, is a staple of the genre. At least having less loot drop and having some missing things turn up is a step in the right direction. Once they finally get around to adding filters <^.^> then...

I have a modicum of hope for Blizzard now but these are rose tinted glasses, not blinders. I hold way too much of a grudge to play hardcore.

I took one of these from 1-46 yesterday and had the best time. My 76 Necro is on the shelf until I max this guy out. I loved my 3-shout HOTA Barb and this double swing/leap/charge/dust devil build is so great, in part because its so survivable and also because its so different from my other...

If you stay in Helltides, you can get to 100 in a day. Raxx has at least two if not more 100's now. There is so little grind left in the initial leveling process. I have been having a lot of medical tests and still have a couple of level 50s with only a few hours a day. I would have my necro...

Analysis: True. The loot change, the new Helltides, and the 1-100 leveling compression is so good I am just starting to bump up against some of the stuff I didn't like so much (Paragon boards, still some rough edges in the UI, have to pick up items to compare, etc.) I haven't had a chance to...

Loot and leveling are 100% better. There has been serious effort that's gone into making the game way more player friendly. All of the bullshit affixes are gone, You can level all the way to 100 in just helltides, mob density is so much better. At least Kyovashad is better laid out, leveling...

I was going to do a Necro this time, I played one in the beta but have done Rogue and Barb since. Seems they nerfed the heck out of the Barb but I did love my HotA Barb in the first season before I dropped this. Let's see how it goes.

I haven't watched it; waiting on the 4k that just shipped but I don't think I am going to have the unadulterated praise that so many seem to have if they make it such that Paul is "in on the missionaria protectiva con" and using the Fremen rather truly being immersed in their culture and...

eh, I have the same kind of multi-gig/2.5Gb Fiber connection with AT&T, who have the same $50 uncapped charge unless you use another of their services (TV/Cell/etc) I paid more for an ISDN link in 97 and those dollars were worth way more. What was that? 2 Bearer/B Channels and 1 D Channel that...
