    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I don't think anyone expected backward compatibility to be for previous gens? Did they? That wasn't even a thing I had considered when it was announced tbh, it makes kinda no sense. I'm sure they could emulate them but that wouldn't be quite the same thing and there's just no realistic way...

    I mean even at that price, you still need a mobo(100-150bucks), a CPU(200-250$), RAM(100-150$), a SSD(150$ for a nice big one) and a case(50-100$) to get a basic PC working, and you need peripherals if you haven't owned one before(like 200$ for a good keyboard and mouse but can go down to like...

    Playstation 5

    For the big announcements(live letters during fan fests for next expansion), they have live translations. For everything else it's fan based and then they release the official translation later(although all the panels have english on them so you can somewhat understand most of it, just not the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I've run the MSQ roulette once since 2.0(well technically twice but the 2nd time was on a free account when they gave them a couple years ago so I was forced to), imo it's just absolutely not worth the time. But people still queue for it, knowing they'll hate it, and then surprise they hate it...

    Risk of Rain 2

    I haven't played 1.0, I played a bunch in the patch before that and was playing on monsoon yeah, unlocked everything. If you made the good builds you could go for a stupid amount of time even on monsoon, where basically the map cleared itself without you even seeing the mobs dying(sacrificial...

    Risk of Rain 2

    You get a guaranteed legendary in the 4th level, in the lava one it's in a chest in a secret area in the middle in some sort of hole need ~3k for it, in the sky ruins one you have to break enough eggs to summon the optional boss and he'll drop it(he's quite hard on monsoon though and wastes a...

    Risk of Rain 2

    Every character is somewhat fun but yeah they'll appeal to different people, mercenary was a lot of fun once I got the hang of it(although it was nerfed). Hardest to get used to was Artificer, this bitch was horrible to play and is really reliant on good item RNG early(more so than pretty much...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Yeah better wait for the reveal and the 3080 or whatever probably wouldn't need nearly as much and perform better/the same as a TI(price might be higher though). Just too many rumors about these cards, who knows what's true or not, just have to wait for Nvidia's official stuff and then(and...

    Does it need to be an actual account with a phone tied to it and shit or? Cause I have a FB account I've never used for anything but raffles and other stupid shit that required a FB account and that's kinda whatever. I mean you can just make a new xXxVRporn69xXx account for your headset and not...

    Phishing scam emails. And not the actual emails, I don't care that much I get like one a day so I just delete it, but these fuckers use some automated process(obviously) that somehow generates names. My name is in my email adress motherfuckers, if you call me by a different name, how can I ever...

    Should be 530, goes up 30ilvl per tier and we're at 500. Weapon will be 5ilvl higher as generally is the case. I think we might go another expansion without the need for a stat squish which is nice. Numbers are getting pretty high but it's not too crazy just yet.

    Also flying mounts once you finish the base 2.0 MSQ, so you can fly around for the 2.1 to 2.5 MSQ. Still probably takes a while though.

    That's how trial works yeah, you need to play an entirely new account to play the trial(even having played the beta removed access to the trial which is dumb). If you've played before you have to resub. You do get up to Heavensward though on that sub.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah that's why FC houses are kinda shit, appartments are basically the same thing but you own them, they just cost a bit more(500k instead of... 200 or 300k or whatever FC houses are). They don't have demolition like houses so you can take breaks and not lose your shit. You even get a teleport...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You could add a second floor, but basically if you want FFXI housing you can just buy an appartment or a FC room(appartments being better since they don't disapear if you leave the FC you're in). They did add personal gardens in Adoulin but it was a tedious mess of shit that makes even the XIV...

    Major version patches are basically always 24h. Just how they do things, minor patches are shorter, sometimes a few hours but the big ones are 24h(and they do 24h when they do big server shit too like adding housing or when they split the datacenters). I resubbed sunday so I could do some of my...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah although it's missing some stuff still. Full patch notes are out, nerfs/buffs more or less as expected, SMN nerf looks big but isn't all that big overall and they should still be on the strong/OP side, war got some nice QoL and a bit of DPS boost, MNK got QoL and a small DPS boost, BRD got...

    Not surprising for this kind of game. That's not even the full full install, just enough to run offline I assume.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I don't necessarily think they're revamping it because of syrups, and more because the system was kinda confusing, with the reset being at a different time, the items changing but sometimes only having one choice so they don't change and just the whole thing. They're just scraping the whole...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Modern FFs try to appeal to modern standards, and overall sell pretty well so it's not that bad of an idea from Square, although for people whose favorite games are the older ones, it feels meh. I did like FFXV overall though with all its flaws, I liked the characters and the road trip idea, it...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you're still 110(haven't played bfa at all), you won't become 50 with the patch, so you'll have to do some leveling. If it's a char that has done every quest from past expansions while leveling, you won't have anything to do than BFA to get to cap, besides just running dungeons for a couple...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yes currently. As usual once SL launches, BFA will be included in the base game, but unlike what they did with BFA which included legion with the preorder or whatever, currently you still need to buy BFA "full price" to play that even if you preorder Shadowlands. They have a bundle preorder that...

    I spent like 500euros on a full water cooling custom loop last week because I wanted to try it out(real fun to setup imo, although it took way too fucking long having no idea what I was doing and trying not to ruin my 2k PC) and after I was done, I went on to play Tales of Maj'Eyal, a rogue-like...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah there was a video about that not too long ago, if they really want to tell the full expansion story, they need to do a much more massive rework of stuff. Currently it's still fucked. I did the "new player experience" on alpha, basically the new starting area into BFA(the only expansion you...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is some guy speedrunning, and he's using the fastest expansion(WoD) to do it. I leveled a char on alpha, no WM(which maybe you'll have, but 30% is alliance only pretty much everywhere and that means running into a lot of horde players too), through BFA so no mount and it took like 14hours...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    It's surprising they never made another one, would have been easy to mix it up by having Nids and maybe some other shit in there(Necrons?). Maybe didn't sell that well? The multi was kinda fun too but the single player was just real great to play, it was a simple concept but well executed.

    You'd want to wait for fall at least, for the new GFXs to come out, specifically the 30xx Nvidia ones which supposedly are going to be much better than the 20xx and not too expensive(but that remains to be confirmed). Not sure if AMD is coming out with new stuff soon too for the CPU, but...

    JRPGs

    Yeah I could see that, they explain their reasoning about it pretty well and I could see it, it's not always worth it porting to switch since it takes a lot more effort and if it doesn't sell well you're out of luck. Granted I feel this would sell pretty well and be worth it but it would be...

    Suikoden's successor Kickstarter is up btw, although apparently Kickstarter is having server issues atm so can't give them money. Game's already funded, they only wanted additional funds to convince their publishers to give them money and what not so it was set at only 500k, but it was funded in...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I'd assume WoW still has way more concurent players, because of tokens. You have so many people multiboxing shit cause it's "free" since you generate money for the tokens from it, and meanwhile whales and stuff just pay for it.

    JRPGs

    Yeah I did the full clear thing, got all achievements and shit, no way I'm replaying it anytime soon/ever though, it's just way too long and no replay value at all. New Suikoden looks nice, but that's a 2023+ game and with japanese devs it's somewhat 50/50 if it's gonna be worth it in the end...

    As mentionned there's bots, they're pretty fucking bad though until you mod them, then they're pretty decent(and sometimes better than fucking idiots you match with). As for Space Marines, there's a bunch of issues with using them in this type of game, first and foremost the fact they're FAT AS...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I mean sure but in Vermintide, everyone's melee with ranged options(besides when they fucked up balance and Kerillian and Sienna were permanent ranged which was pretty broken) while in 40K you'd expect the contrary, so it's gonna change the gameplay a lot I feel. Also I'll be really sad if...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Assuming it's like Vermintide, not at all. It's somewhat like Left 4 Dead, coop FPS with specific goals in each maps(escaping, freeing someone, destroying something, killing a boss etc). Vermintide's strength is its really good melee combat so not 100% sure how this one is gonna work since the...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    You can certainly make everything work but they kinda fuck around with buffing something too much, then nerfing it later and it can get annoying especially if you liked the thing. Some things are totally worth nerfing, but it sucks when it was the thing you liked and they nerfed it too much so...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The page says it gives all DLCs you can buy with crowns and the old expansions are in the crown shop under DLC, but might be wrong. I wanted to play last expansion then never got around to it so never checked firsthand(I got a deal with summerset+morrowind anyway so I had both).

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    It looks pretty fucking shit BUT if you pay for the monthly sub(which is optional), you get access to all the DLCs minus the last big expansion, so it's basically the same more or less. If you want to actually own the DLCs to play them even without your sub though it's kinda shitty but you also...

    The Video Thread

    In case of, this is a sped up video with an added soundtrack of another bus driver doing stupid shit in china(the video is a japanese bus). It's still pretty impressive how he drives at normal speed, but it also doesn't look like he's being a complete retard.
