    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...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Tales of Arise and Trials of Mana remake are 2 of the last JRPGs I played and while Arise did have a lot of story, Trials of Mana was a lot lighter on it, and both had good gameplay mixed in so didn't mind it. I guess Granblue Relink could also be considered a JRPG and the story was relatively...

    Final Fantasy 16

    There's a lot of cutscenes at the start, less so after, but still a lot, it's very much trying to tell a story. The story is pretty alright, combat is ok once you unlock more powers so overall I thought it was pretty fine, but I dropped it at some point cause of some other game I wanted to play...

    V Rising

    It's 20% off on Fanatical too so yeah grabbed it since I figured it won't drop under 16$ anytime soon after the price increase. No plans to play this right away but well it's cheap.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Often it's just cause it uses international filters cause it's just the western version, not just the english one, so you have filters for spanish/portugese/french/german mixed in. This seems like a Xbox thing though? Not sure why they have an additional filter on top of the XIV filter, but...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I try to stick to the less overpowered stuff cause the game's way too fucking easy otherwise. Playing with just my main mage support bitch pawn atm as "warfarer" but it's just 3 thief skills and sorc staff to levitate around for seeker's tokens and a bow to shoot at flyers. I have damage set at...

    Yeah that's not at all how I read that, he was saying the majority of dyes are natural hair colors(brown blond etc) and if there's an issue with cancer due to dyes it's much more likely in these than specifically in the pink/blue shit that ppl started making fun of. Not that natural colors dyes...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Make a backup save before and then you can go and check out the ending and stuff, but no there's basically nothing to NG+, only difference is the wyrmsblood vendor has some permanent buffs that increase your xp or some shit so you can level higher, but the world is otherwise exactly the same so...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Yeah I did start a new save, cheated some vocation points a bit to make it less annoying(I had no interest in playing some of these vocations again so just maxed them) and now going for full map clear pretty much. I'm done with like 70% of Vermund stuff(have to finish the mist march/elves stuff...

    No Man's Sky

    Yeah just need to wait for sales. Hell it's on sale right now, it's basically almost permanently on sale so unless you're stupid and buy it in the few times it isn't, it's effectively 30$. Which is a reasonable price because even though it's old it keeps getting updates with more content, you'll...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    It does look like Overwatch but also doesn't look half bad for a clone. With Overwatch 2 spiralling into disappointments, this might even not tank entirely.

    No Man's Sky

    Ship customization and collecting parts also sounds great for replayability. Current system of looking for crashed ships and just selling them for scraps because most of them were low tier or poor looking ships and mostly only relying on the player list to get good ones was pretty meh. If the...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    7/10 or so? As an actual 7 not game journalist 7 which means utter trash. It's fun but it's far from perfect, it has many of the same issues the first game had, some even worse(the story is somehow worse for example). Still is enjoyable enough for me as I like the combat and I like playing the...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    So finished the game, went to NG+ to get some stuff fixed, but I'm not liking NG+ much, they kinda fucked that up. There's no scaling so everything's dumb easy(guess you can equip shit weapons but even then) and the map is entirely revealed, which is actually annoying cause I can't tell which...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Na the only time my FPS drops is inside Vermund, even Bakbathal doesn't seem to affect it cause it has noticeably less NPCs. Honestly they could remove like half the NPCs in Vermund and it'd more or less fix the problem, and wouldn't affect much as most NPCs are pointless.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I also messed up the Fighter one, I thought I'd have time to do it later. I got the sorc stuff done though but largely because I looked it up before turning it in. I don't know how good the mage spell is though(I've been lvling random vocations on my pawn to not waste points), it consumes all...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    One thing that got me to aggro random guards(not every NPC mind) was dropping the various permits in my storage I thought they'd just keep working but apparently you need to have them on yourself otherwise some guards don't like it. I doubt it'd aggro the whole city though, I've seen a few ppl...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Just like DD1 though you can gate it behind a fair bit of gameplay to make sure random timmy doesn't end up quitting 5hours in cause he thought he was hot shit. Just make it an augment on Warfarer(thematically sounds nice too), it's the last vocation you'd naturally unlock so you're not gonna...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    You technically can yeah but makes the game a fair bit harder. You can just tag with your own pawn which levels normally and you can gear up and ignore the 2 additional, less damage but not that bad, this way you can keep your pawn as a mage for heals/debuff removal/elemental weapon buffs. You...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah iirc they mentionned no rez on it, basically putting in the BLM category. Can expect a lot of damage. Funny that Summoner who has Bahamut and Phoenix power and Red Mage who uses lost magic that combines both white and black magic will lose out to the pixiv hentai artist.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I mean Elden Ring was also often garbage? Out of the 100+ mini dungeons, most of them were pretty bad, I cleared them all and I can only remember maybe 5-6 of them. Most had ashes for shit skills or summons for shit summons with generic monsters and a generic boss fight. The actual dungeon...

    Oh btw there's some spoiler important stuff about the disease pawns can contract(they always mention it after you use a riftstone). This seems like an overall awful mechanic that has no upside and massive game ruining downsides, not sure who thought it'd be a good idea to have that result...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Warrior is really great, so much better than DD1 and even then I liked it cause of the big smash stuff. But now you get both the big smash and a lot of qol. Have a counter/block skill, can use 4 skills like everyone else, has good fillers for trash mobs("light" attack with the correct timing for...

    Path of Exile

    Delve league though But yeah point is it's entirely free, you just pick the nodes and you get the buff+100% niko(and can get 100% shrines too since it's on the same path) and it just gives you free stats that are quite nice when you have shit gear to get started. Can do other stuff but the fact...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    So got Trickster up to rank 7. It's actually decently strong, but it also feels pretty bad to play cause it's largely just looking at your pawns killing stuff and if they spaz out you take way longer to kill stuff(happens a lot on trash mobs). Aggro control is very strong and you can basically...

    Path of Exile

    Checking reddit threads on the new league, some of the changes look pretty wild, like there's a post about specing into 100% delve and getting benefits from each Sulphite veins for baseline 3% max resist 100%inc dmg 45%movespeed along with shrines on every map which sounds really neat(until you...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Finally unlocked Trickster so started giving this a try(especially since I reached rank 9 Thief), god the vocation is awful at low rank. Like rank 1/2 you're borderline fucking useless, luckily even doing random shit encounters in the desert area gives a ton of xp/vocation points so you get to...

    It seems there's some issue probably with some hardware or some drivers or something cause some ppl seem to crash a lot but most(based on how many ppl are complaining about crashes) don't. In case of I'd try updating drivers and also fiddling with video options and what not see if it helps...

    That's not the same thing though, just cause the mods work on char creator doesn't mean they'd work on the game. Although checking the page myself it has mods already, including the nude mod which they fixed for the full game too it looks like. Field of View Increase This too but the description...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I can't say I have paid any attention to it tbh, I just don't even read the numbers. I compared my stats to my pawn to see it still had vocation based stat growth but that's about it, even in the first game I didn't care about minmaxing and I'm not gonna do it this time either, if I really want...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Just for the augments, stats seem kinda whatever, especially with similar enough classes like Fighter and Thief which both have good str(it's mostly hp vs stamina, which is whatever). The gear already gives massive differences compared to base stats so I doubt it matters in the end. Stamina...

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

    I saw a mention how the next patch will have less zoom, did you load the live version instead of the PTR? Or maybe the PTR isn't up yet I'm not really paying too much attention other than reading the general stuff. The patch does look quite good but it seems they're starting from so low it might...

    When half of the last 2 pages are posts about some concernfag whining about microtransactions even though he doesn't play the game or care about the transactions in this game. Just make a thread about MTX in modern games and write your essay about how you feel it's bad and discuss it there...

    I think the streamer might have been retarded? Saving at an inn is like, going to an inn and resting there, that's it. And Inn saves are more like backups on the side in case your autosave gets fucked, technically optional but you do want to do it every now and then. But you can log out anywhere...

    It's all super optional stuff and/or common stuff.

    It only matters if you want to restart. The reason I had to do it for the character creator is because I wasn't sure if it was gonna show up after or what, so I ended up making a char, then figured it wasn't that and had to restart to pick the char. If I had closed before making the char(which I...
