    Grim Dawn

    It's content complete. However as is typical with their new builds, there's a bunch of potential issues so unless you want to play it now, you might as well wait another couple of weeks for the hotfix patches. They'll do balancing passes and adding new items and stuff potentially until it's in a...

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

    Bunch of sales on PSN atm, both US and EU. Too much shit to list so you'll have to check stuff yourself. US is flash sales apparently, EU is january sales for a couple of weeks.

    Path of Exile

    Buy one, 5links aren't very expensive. Just check the shop indexers sites and do a search for a 5L with some life and a couple of resists, generally gonna cost you a few chaos but you'd have to spend a lot of fuses to get it anyway. Alternatively if you play SC look into buying a Tabula Rasa...

    Well technically viscreals/gun parries are pretty new. There was a parry mechanic in Dark Souls but it's obviously not tied to guns since there's no gun, and ranged weapons can't parry, it's just traditional game parry. Shit makes a lot more sense too because it uses the same button as blocking...

    The combat in D:OS is a bit weird in the sense that the game might look hard if you don't abuse the various stuff at your disposition, but once you start doing it it becomes too easy, and in some cases you can literally break the game. Mages especially are stupid strong if you use them correctly...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah for D1 and 2 you still needed the keys and shit, but for D3 since it's online only anyway, it's tied to your battlenet account just like a wow account, and just like wow you don't have to find your cd keys 10years later, you can just login with your bnet account and get in the game. That...

    For the first zone, the "intended" progression is tutorial area shit, cyseal non combat quests(pretty much all of them you can do), northwest exit(not the southwest beach one) to the lighthouse to the west, northern mountain-ish areas then cave that exits into beach+hideout, southwestern exit of...

    I just played the game with the normal encounter rate, and only turned it up to grind every now and then to get all the jobs I liked leveled and shit. Eventually since I had grinded everything to max, I just turned off encounters to 0 and skipped most of the trash fights in the later parts of...

    Grim Dawn

    Might go down lower in the first big sale after the release, but that's like spring or whatever, so in several months, so yeah probably worth grabbing now. Although, expect potentially some issues that will get hotfixed later this week/next week, always happens with new builds. Still that's a...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Had been that way forever too, Steam sales haven't been the absolute best sales for everything ever since... other stuff started doing sales. That's why you just buy the steam stuff you see that's at a good price, and go for other sites when they don't. Flash sales didn't change that...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Uh the list of game that are at their historically lowest is fucking huge. Not sure what your point is. A lot of devs are putting their shit at the flash sales price the entire time, some aren't, but some also didn't do flash sales at all in the past years, or would do a shitty normal sale price...

    DOTA 2

    You also get more gold nowadays than you ever did from assist gold to having more jungle shit to kill, and obviously the costs of supporting keep going lower(fucking courier is like half of what it was a few years ago nowadays or some shit). Plus at a lower tier, it's very very unlikely your...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    If they sold enough(as in what they expected to sell), they probably don't have a reason to lower it further until they can't sell anymore. They might get more sales at a lower price, but would it be enough sales to actually make up for the reduced cost? It's the same reason they're not lowering...

    Haven't played Rune Factory IV cause it's never on sale and I don't feel like buying the game full price(and since I'm in europe, it was released as digital only here) but Fantasy Life is definitely great, especially if you're the type of person who loves making alts in mmos. A few of the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They added set dungeons and new mob types. They're also reworking sets every patches so you can play classes differently, since sets are most of what defines classes nowadays. With LoN, they even added a way for you to play how you want without being tied down to sets(although it requires...

    DOTA 2

    Well it's a nerf, that part at least. Rest is pretty good buff. Think the ult is still kinda shit though, would be better if it ticked every .5sec for half the damage or so. It seems to be only really good if you have magnus RPing motherfuckers into a nice stack and giving Riki empower, but...

    Overwatch

    I kinda wish they had a coop/single player campaign in the game, but it's a ton of work so I could see why they don't. The backstories of the characters are pretty nice, especially the members of the old Overwatch and they're all fairly detailed, besides a few(like Mei has more or less no...

    Path of Exile

    You can use Vorici stuff to reduce the amount of chroms it takes, on average. Can still be fucked, but if you do like 2reds at least, it's a lot less chroms on average to roll 3 off colors. Still it'd be rough with this type of armor, you'd be a lot better off trying with a chainmail(armor/es) type.

    Genji is sitting on a robot, and D-Va is fighting a large robot. In the lore, there's those AI robots that waged war against humanity, the Omnics. Zenyatta and Bastion are omnics, Zen is like one that decided to make peace and shit and Bastion is like a buggy one or some nonsense. D-Va on the...

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    This isn't the DDO thread. Or whatever it is you're talking about I'm not sure, there's no NDA on DDO so don't know why you'd be all "my friend" and shit. Or maybe there's a NDA but since it's a fucking japanese beta to begin with, it's not like the NDA matters for shit. I tested it too, you...

    Path of Exile

    Cause they're natural opposite colors. We use that shit a lot in real life too, like traffic lights and shit. LoL had purple/blue iirc, but that might also be confusing. Dota has green/red but you can change it to light blue/pink or something, this is some shit that was in the original WC3 or...

    Path of Exile

    I wonder why they never added something for colorblind people, I remember they talked about it a really long time ago, I think before the original release, but they never bothered. They missed their chances when they redid all the gems, should have made square/triangles/round gems with sockets...

    DOTA 2

    Talking about Static Field, Zeus passive. Pretty sure that's the name at least. We were talking about Zeus, not Disruptor. And was only talking about range, damage works on everything regardless, range only works on specific stuff, mostly targetted spells.

    Yeah the article it links as source is recent but it's just old shit, and everyone's now using that new article to make news posts, but it's the same as the old story.

    It's the old layoffs, not new ones. Like from a few months ago, you were talking about them even. Usual gaming journalism.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    The problem is they invested a lot of money into making the original, and while it sold pretty well(iirc 2+million copies), it didn't sell nearly enough of what they wanted to sell. So it's unlikely. Probably the only thing we'd get if it sells well is a localization of DDO.

    DOTA 2

    Bottle, Soulring/Arcane then the other, Disassemble Arcane into Lens, Arcane again, Disassemble Arcane into Bloodstone. Assuming you have other plans than bloodstone, then no soul ring and potentially no second arcane(maybe just travel later on?), instead you'd go whatever, euls or I don't know...

    Path of Exile

    There's no yellow color, but yeah I see what you mean and since it's corrupted you can't chrom it. You could change it with Vorici crafting but needs to be lvl 8 so probably no one can do it this early in the league. If it's green you could try with an attack, bow or otherwise. Splitshot...

    Path of Exile

    Well it'll be more damage/better than your tornado shot totem with all the stuff on it. The added chaos adds a ton of damage to flame totem, even with the shitty efficiency, and it blinds basically anything it barely touches since it fires like 10times a second or whatever. You could put...

    Path of Exile

    What ranged totem. And the point is it doesn't trigger. You just drop it whenever you want. Some spells aren't triggerable due to mechanics and such, so linking them to a trigger gem does nothing, they retain their normal usage. If you already have a totem in your build, then you'd want...

    Path of Exile

    Cast on stun is pretty bad though in the sense that you can't use it for a normal spell and cast it manually, it has to be triggered. However if you use an attack or a non triggerable spell(like totems/traps/mines and shit), it's super good for leveling. Flame totem in this necklace makes...

    DOTA 2

    You get a lot of good stats from the lens though, not just the range. 8% damage is non trivial on a hero that does such high damage to begin with and the mana is obviously great for zeus. I think both work fine too. Empire just managed to get an aghanim on Venge, shit looks really strong. At...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I wouldn't have a problem with a 2mins landing, assuming you went straight for the ground. That would make a lot more sense. Sure atmospheric re-entry is done slowly in real life and shit but that's without fancy space tech shit, in this game you could perfectly explain that the spaceship are...

    Blade Vortex is really not that good, and they try to limit the balance nerfs in the middle of a league. They didn't nerf Incinerate last league either, even though it was clear it was broken pretty early on. Bladefall looks better than Blade Vortex tbh, does more damage over time, has better...

    Well Taste of Hate adds a ton of damage. It's basically a second Hatred temporarily. There's a flask that gives charges for some builds and hmm the flask that increases IIQ so you get better loots, Atziri is like chaos Taste of Hate, I think that's it mostly?
