    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It wasn't just your average ACT/automated callouts too, it was zoomhack and shit, so yeah. I personally think they still did a pretty amazing job killing it this early when everyone else still seem stuck a day later, and the non streaming teams(or even some of the streaming ones just on other...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is a pretty poor example though, artists pretty much all begin to learn how to draw by copying stuff, anywhere. Even the greatest artists in history pretty much all started under a master just copying stuff until they knew enough that they could make their own style. The copying stuff is...

    Grim Dawn

    Yeah but cooldown is longer and you don't get any other effects other than more regen after, while a bunch of the others also give you like dmg reduction and what not, which will make it so your normal regen will kick in and get you out of risk pretty quick. But yeah it's very nice if you're...

    Grim Dawn

    So checking the char builder website, probably missing some stuff but I remembered a few of them The 3 classes with built in safety measures are Soldier(Menhir's Will), Demo(Blast Shield) and Oathkeeper(Resilience). These aren't like low hp per say but anytime you take a big hit and drop to...

    Grim Dawn

    Haven't played in years but as far as I remember every char had pretty much at least one and usually 2 cheat death mechanic, some part of the classes, some from items, so yeah doesn't look particularly overpowered, there's a bunch of these iirc.

    Forspoken

    Dialogue you can just turn off, main character isn't ugly although not pretty either, if that's what it takes to stop you from playing a game though then eh.

    Forspoken

    That's what the review says, don't buy now, but during a deep sale with potential patches it could be worth it. I had more or less no interest in this so not disappointed, plus the PC requirements hint at a terrible port anyway.

    What's next is 25hours of getting tea leaves for some lazy ass potato and slow leveling fillers while you can't unlock your new skills because you're not in HEAVENSWARD yet fuckface. And THEN dragons.

    Pretty usual stuff when it comes to these NPC costumes, they're never worth it imo. Considering they're already selling them and it's a long trend, they might as well look into designing them properly from the start with the intent of how they'll work once they monetize them.

    Black Desert

    Interesting there didn't show the fox tails buff/transformation thing that was in the mobile video, maybe a skill that comes later(not sure if awakening is available right away for these). Looks pretty cool though and much more my aesthetic than the other char, next time I play this I'll...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Keypass is a glorified text file, just encoded, there's no online feature at all so it's just fine, and more secure than a sticky note. And I don't mean secure from hackers, I mean secure from me spilling some tea on it or it falling off and I don't notice and throw it in the trash and then...

    MCH changes aren't just potency, they're actually quite substantial. First they finally changed the speed burst stuff to a charge based system instead of a timer, so people with shit ping or bad fingers don't lose a ton of potency from missing one shot in wildfire window. Second they gave them...

    They're gonna add more shit to catch too so you'll run out of space, I caught a few rares and like the stuff I needed for my lazy weekly setup so I barely have to gather anything and can just use the automated stuff to turn in and was done with that content. Still way easier than rare fishes though.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I haven't played since before that update so can't say for sure but assuming it's the places I'm thinking of, the Caellid one is actually a bit of a bitch to get to, iirc the only way to go there is via the elevator that comes from the Deep Siofra Well. Might be a way to glitch down from normal...

    This is mine, as expected Lost Ark towers over everything else due to the sheer amount of time I spent on it during the first ~3months, but I don't think I'll ever play it again. I didn't dislike it too much but I figured I just really hate raiding nowadays unless I have a clear goal and even...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    From games have very loose "builds". You have stats and they more or less govern what gear you want, but you can respec(not right away, need to kill the "second" boss although depending on how you explore you might kill it out of order) and you can kinda mix and match stuff if you want with...

Since it's the core pack though there's not...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I mean the same way I hated Tidus and Vaan/Penelo I guess? Being the protagonist doesn't mean I like the character, I actually hated that there was so much Locke in fact and I was happy to drop him anytime he was there. Ended up hating the phoenix fire cave shit too because it was tied to Locke.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    The game isn't nearly hard enough that you'd need to exclude a character for their skills though. I haven't played since the original on SNES, always feel like I should replay at some point, but I remember clearing the game multiple times when I was a kid and I'd just go for chars I liked...

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

    That's why I put the quotes on free, obviously it wouldn't be free, but if it was close to a release state, it would likely have cost less to release and get money out of the boxes than scrap it then still add a bunch of the things later for free. It likely still was pretty early enough and...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I could see that but I wouldn't want giant balls on my fists, I'd be using the raptor claws and shit like that and these look pretty meh. Mind, I've done a dagger only run so it wouldn't be very different really other than the lack of Reduvia for range options, but it would also be kinda...

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

    They hadn't anounced it, so I don't think it was "nearly finished". It was probably a fair bit away which is why they cut it rather than just finish it and release it for "free" money. They added the stuff they had done later on as patches, especially the one big patch that had new tilesets(the...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Whips are pretty cool but the reason I didn't use them is because the jump attack looked a lot better than everything else, and it felt weird to just do jump attacks. I honestly wouldn't mind if they nerfed every jump attack in the game by like 30% or whatever, the fact you can attack while...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well besides the fact that posting an AI answer isn't particularly a good argument, it's actually saying "intentional use of a bug or a flaw", which is what I was saying? Complexity still has no impact at all in whether something is an exploit, and bugs can be exploited. Exploiting is more about...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Exploits can absolutely be something really dumb and obvious. GW2 launch massive exploit that got a ton of people banned was "buy an item for x gold then vendor it for x+y gold, repeat until billionaire". The level of complexity of the bug/issue doesn't matter, anything that can provide an...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I mean "interface said they could" isn't really a valid excuse, that's what exploits are, by definition they use game mechanics, as opposed to hacks which would involve injecting data and so on. The whole point is you exploit one of these issues(oversight, bad coding and so on) to gain a benefit...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Funny that they fixed Vyke's weapon art in the very last fight and he still lost. Every previous fight he'd just be jumping and doing a normal attack with no additional madness flames and it was actually garbage but he still won these fights and there with both the weapon art fixed and madness...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    More animation work? You can reuse a bunch of animations when you're doing melee combat for a paladin and a warrior/zerker or whatever, same for casting between the various casters, but monk means hand to hand combat which usually is unique animations. That'd be my guess at least.

    Hmm can't access that because I opted out of all data collection I guess. Pretty sure FF7R was last year though? Which means the only thing I played this year was like the later half of The Last Guardian that I finished because it was just sitting there. So like maybe 10hours of that. Definitely...

    You mean Explorer I guess? Traveller is the basic 10bucks version(which is semi often free), explorer is the one with the white horse. The horse is dogshit, I mean less dogshit than the free quest one but dogshit overall, what you're buying mostly is the Polar Bear pet which is a pretty good...

    Seems they'll be porting the pixel remasters to Switch based on ESRB "leaks". Also PS4 but doubt a lot of people care about that one, Switch makes sense though.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    The idle power draw is supposedly something they're gonna fix soon-ish I think one of the other videos said. I don't know(and no one really does) how much DLSS3 will do though, while DLSS is neat it's not really implemented in a lot of games. AMD has their own version of DLSS2(which is very...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    So seems it's basically a 4080 that is smaller but runs a bit hotter/noisier due to fans, has similar performance but worse on raytracing but costs 200$ less. 300$ less and if you don't mind a dip in performance with the XT. I guess that's about what AMD was aiming for, it makes the 4080 look...

    While they're definitely veering into the cunt territory I think not moving past the "Pay to win" line is a big deal for western markets, as going there just gets you a lot of negative press and a lot of people hating on the game instantly, it's just bad publicity. At the very least, you...

    Last Epoch

    Crafting from scratch in PoE is some of the most arcane bullshit in a game, you need several 3rd party sources to figure out what can be rolled in which slot, and in what order you should use meta crafts to block stuff from being rollable to get about what you want. It also was nerfed pretty...

    I'm looking forward to boss/mini boss fights against stuff like Carnifexes and Lictors and all that stuff, I was a big fan of Tyranids so I like that for once they didn't go for just another Chaos game or Orks like the first one. Obviously nids are great for this type of game anyway(lots of...
