    Legend of Grimrock 2

    Yeah the reviews have all been very good on this from what I've seen. Plenty of good points too from people who played the first, for example secrets aren't all the same switch in the wall textures like in the first one, which makes them harder to find and the class progression offers a lot more...

    Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel

    It's shorter, though not by a whole lot. Iirc first playthrough of both the first games was around 35hours for full completion and not optimizing. Unless he means 25hours for all the playthroughs(not sure if it resuses the system where you finish at half max lvl, then finish the game again etc).

    It was weird but I didn't mind it too much. I'm not sure you'll be able to.

    They made a blog update about races/classes, keeping one class hidden until release atCharacter classes and races revealed Legend of Grimrock Copy pasta for people with terrible internet fascists limitations:

    Wii U

    Yeah fuck that, it looks ugly as shit and I'd need to buy a new console just for it(at least until they announce other exclusives), might as well look for a Wii copy at that point and get my Wii out of the basement. Dolphin's good enough, I just need to get motivated enough to download/install...

    Wii U

    Yeah it has quality games but a lot of them I don't really care about. I haven't cared about Mario in a long time, Skyward looks like it got mixed opinions about it, Mario kart don't care about, Smash bro I don't really care about either so yeah, that kinda limits my options. Maybe once...

    Wii U

    From people who played the japanese version, it's one of the best gam released in the past few years, but yeah, Wii U. Then again from what I read the game wouldn't have been finished anyway if Nintendo didn't come and throw some money at them, so it's not like the exclusivity deal is killing...

    Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel

    Eh, I guess it qualifies since one of the best is a fairly broad statement, it's a pretty great game but I don't think it would be in my top 50, or maybe near the bottom. But definitely worth playing, especially since they're on sale on steam all the time with all the DLC for peanuts and there's...

    Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel

    Season pass is cheaper than the DLC one by one. However it's more than the DLC one year from now during a steam sale, so kind of a matter of wether you think you'll play the DLCs as they release or just plan to revisit the game later when all the DLCs have been released(and I guess wether or not...

    Just got an email for the Keep beta thing, so I guess they're out. Shit's not up yet though it seems.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    The balance argument is a decent one, infinite healing leads to well, immortality, besides instant kill mechanics, which are not fun. This is a bit like Demon Souls vs Dark Souls, while Demon Souls had many better mechanics than Dark Souls, the change from infinite consumables to limited flask...

    DOTA 2

    Don't think that's a draft issue but a puppey sucks at every hero but 5ish issue, and 3 of these are junglers(chen, enchant and enigma). Was that was in Na'Vi too, when the strats revolving around these heroes are strong he looks like a good player, when they're not he looks like garbage and...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I would assume ST lock would be removed, but they might keep it to stall gear catchup progression, so you'll only be able to upgrade to i100 soldiery and still need several weeks to get 110 sands(or well a lot of hunts), while on the side every few weeks you'll get the new I guess i120...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Persona timer is locked to your actions though. If you don't go into the dungeon/back to your room, your time stays the same. Do have to plan ahead and shit however I guess. FF LR timer is only relevant the first few hours of the game, which makes the mechanic even more stupid since it's...

    They didn't really create those, unless you mean in general. Those are FF6 iconic bosses, they have been then added to some of the later FF(or remakes of the older ones), so it's pretty nice to see them. They're even fought in the same colisseum that they end up working in near the end of FF6...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Don't think anyone gives a shit if you use Unity, it's a great cheap engine to make indie/low budget games with. People give Brad shit for making videos with STOCK unity assets, and pretending that's their game. If you don't bother making anything and just copy paste bits of stuff you downloaded...

    2.4 is serious business. They posted 2 blog entries too on the Lodestone about Hildebrand(which Ultros/Typhon are a part of) and Shiva.

    They released a compatibility test if you want to check if your shitty 10years old toaster laptop can run the game or whatever: Grimrock 2 Compatibility Test Legend of Grimrock Also releases next week. SO CLOSE.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's dungeon drops gear, it's better than crafted, fuck melding low lvl stuff plus the materias are expensive. It's getting converted once I'm done but no point in converting now. I don't have full sets mind you, just a bunch of pieces at various levels, rest I'll craft once I know what type of...

    They really haven't said shit about the requirements, the stats, the armor type or other important details. As I explained also before in this thread, it's possible, though unlikely, that you'd need the story quest advanced enough to unlock the class(the trainers are shown during the Leviathan...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah pretty much it's easy to get one level a day in like an hour nowadays. Doesn't take very long to get more though but eh if you don't care about getting to 50 before 2.4, probably doesn't matter much. You should do your main story quests though, it unlocks a lot of shit including dungeons...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Bunch of classes have off the GCD attacks, procs and different DPS cooldowns(like raging strikes, internal strikes, blood for blood which have varying numbers depending on the class or aren't available at all in some cases), so it's not that easy. But I guess in some ways it might be easier than...

    They're both great main tanks, warrior kinda better as off tank due to stronger snap threat, paladin kinda better as main tank on progression content because Hallowed Ground is an OP defensive cooldown, but both can do either fine. Paladin is boring as shit to play though, while WAR is pretty...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Music was good, but FFXIV has a lot of better tracks, in my opinion. Some are kinda like eh, but stuff like the Garlean Empire theme, Garuda's theme or Pharos Syrius theme are really fucking good.

    Nintendo 3DS News, Games, etc.

    There is very little story in Etrian Odyssey. I actually started with IV when I bought my DS and after I finished Bravely Default(which is definitely great) and had no issue, as far as I understand they're standalone stories. Game is more about mechanics than story anyway, at least the main...

    DOTA 2

    The numbers are weird, but I think a lot of the "omg so much rubberbands" from casters and shit is due to actually seeing the numbers at the end of the fight rather than the new system. If the networth difference between 2 teams is huge though, you do get a fuckton of gold. Basically if your...

    Natural Doctrine

    Yeah I've heard some decent things about the game but I'm not too much into tactical RPGs so didn't bother. It looked pretty interesting though and I've heard the difficulty is crazy high at times.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Once you unlock them, Red terminals are decently challenging while leveling. Not like super hard, though some heroes do suck at them, but at least there's a risk of dying. Everything else is garbage besides doing high waves of the group stuff but meh.

    Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel

    I guess I'll play Athena, she looks pretty nice with the melee stuff. Claptrap looks kinda like the support-y char and not a fan of the amount of random stuff on him but guess can be pretty hilarious at times. Not much interest in the other 2.

    Persona 5 - Coming to...

    P5 is coming out on PS4, this thread is old as shit, there's still Sean posts in it, he forgot to delete them, that's how old it is. They released an anime trailer during TGS and confirmed it's coming for both PS3 and PS4, by the end of next year(so probably solid 2016 out of japan).

    Solo FATEs go quite a bit faster when you have a combat chocobo with a few points in attack, though it takes a while to level it up and generally it's more something that will happen on alts and shit. If you're not clearing FATEs quickly, you can dump your 100 leves into stuff, it's pretty much...

    Well Ruin does shit damage because of all the dots and the pet doing damage. If it did good damage SMN damage would be retarded. It kinda sucks to see puny numbers I guess though, but SMN damage is very good especially for a ranged class with access to combat rez. Arguably the 2nd strongest DPS...

    Ninjas might be back only, though we don't really know yet. Monks have a lot of positional requirements for maximum dmg output but at the same time not being in the position doesn't affect your rotation so it's not that bad, Dragoon is fucking horrible because you HAVE to be on the side for the...

    That's what I meant, the live letter is generally a week before patch, so that ends up being october 28th since they announced they'll do the live letter during the fan fest thing. It's very unlikely they'll patch 2days after and possible they'll patch 2weeks after(so first week of november).

    DOTA 2

    They just patched again anyway, they already massively nerfed the gold gain thing. Xp is still the same, so you'll have good levels on supports and potential for comeback, but not nearly as much. * Kill Streak Bounty from 100->800 to 60->480 (6.81 values are 125->1000) * Reduced AoE Gold...

    Marauder/WAR is a ton more fun than PLD anyway. PLD is a fucking snoozefest, it's great for like leading a raid and calling shit cause the only shit you have to do is use cooldowns when you need to, rest is 1 2 3 and press 2 buttons when they're up. WAR has various mechanics built in like a...

    Well if you're still leveling it's not too complicated really, you just kinda follow the mainstory again, do sidequests, queue for dungeons when they open(most of them are gated via story anyway) and shit like that. Things you want to do to maximize leveling: - Above all, do your main...

    DOTA 2

    Not sure it works this way for gold. If you have one super farmed carry and the rest of the team is fairly poor, the team total networth isn't going to be much bigger, so the bonus gold from that aspect is gonna be negligible and the rest of the gold is lower than currently. It's only relevant...

    Some low level areas you'll see people doing FATEs with high levels for atma(relic weapon quest) and stuff, but in general yeah they're kinda empty. You'll still see a few people in every zone though.
