    Absolum is pretty fun but I got tired of it rather quickly after clearing the game a few times on all the chars. Got like 15hours in it before being done though so pretty reasonable considering the price point and it was enjoyable. Now checking another small indie game, Necesse. Basically top...

    Twitch.tv

    Turns out they found another guy who redeems his mmo rewards so they're all good. But seriously though, you do understand that you not using Twitch doesn't really mean fuckall for wether or not it's still running. They are I assume not growing, but there's still like eyeballing it over a million...

    Path of Exile

    I mean they already do that though, with people sitting in HO the entire league just spamming trades, or with people running actual trading bots already on the side and shit. You can't really design a system where someone isn't going to exploit it regardless, so might as well make it less...

    Path of Exile

    I believe they said they'd bring the most anticipated feature from PoE2, and while Reddit made jokes they're actually porting Sprinting to PoE1 to replace quicksilvers, I think it's pretty guaranteed it'll be trading, that said it could be delayed if they ran into issues but otherwise it should...

    Absolum, Beat'em Up with Rogue-lite elements

    Been clearing the achievements mostly, I'll say the difficulty is pretty well done, early on I struggled quite a bit with well, the early/mid game, then as you get more meta upgrades it gets easier but then you get hit by harder stuff later. The last boss especially is quite challenging, and...

    Xbox Megathread

    This looks like PR talk though, the thread is also full of people saying their local target/walmart have been removing stuff or dumping them on discount/clearance. They can still be in partnership with the company but have scaled down heavily so only a few locations will have stuff and what not...

    Twitch.tv

    There was a video of someone doing that on reddit the other day but it turned out there was a lot of fuckery around that video, and it makes 0 sense for them to not count inactive people as viewers so not sure why they would, especially when the majority of viewers don't chat to begin with.

    Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

    Main issue is this isn't coming out anytime soon. This is a demo for a game that is launching in early access next year. While they might have a short EA, it could very well be a 2027 game so hard to get too interested into it. Looked nice at a quick glance though.

    Absolum, Beat'em Up with Rogue-lite elements

    So today Absolum released without much advertisement or the usual early access stuff, and it's quite good so far from my limited playtime. Absolum is a Beat'em up in the vein of Golden Axe or Streets of Rage, in fact the devs are the ones behind Streets of Rage 4 which was released a few...

    Wrong, French cuisine is a lot of butter first, then add ingredients to make the butter taste different. Then maybe add more butter.

    While I'm sure there's some point if you have multiple TVs and want to watch a bunch of different stuff at the same time and all, personally I've sticked to my old ass method of having a PC connected to a TV directly and just playing videos off that. I did switch like 10years ago to a NUC from...

    Players are international, Slovakia/Russia/Jordan/Denmark/USA. Also part of why the prize pool is lower is cause they split it into the majors instead of having the major pay peanuts and be only glorified qualifiers and then TI being 95% of the year's payout, but yeah not crowdfunding the...

    Ananta was announced a while back(but only really in gacha gaming spheres although now isn't a gacha anymore) but they just showed the first actualy gameplay this week at the Tokyo Gameshow. It's basically GTA/Spiderman clone, but anime. Was supposed to be a gacha but is now pivoting into F2P...

    Path of Exile 2

    I think it works fine for what it's meant to be, a way to backtrack better. Granted that's an issue with level design to some extent as you said, but it's fine and especially useful when doing shit like first time campaign where you will backtrack regardless of level design just to get...

    Path of Exile 2

    Been playing this for a bit, bought it when it released but between having other stuff to play and my initial 30mins experience in 0.1 of minions being super dogshit, I hadn't played since now. Made another minion char, they got buffed real nice, honestly feels better to level with minions...

    Hollow Knight: Silksong

    Oh yeah I remember that now, wonder if it'll be the same. I usually don't mind running back too much but sometimes the save point is so fucking far it's such a waste of time and it breaks the rythm when you're getting into the patterns of a boss and finally making progress but then you have to...

    Path of Exile 2

    Saw a post on reddit saying you can't convert stash tabs that were converted from normal to premium, apparently they're fixing that but checked and every single of mine is like that, can't convert any of them(I apparently have 17 premium tabs). I think cause I bought a bunch before premium tabs...

    No Man's Sky

    They're also likely using NMS stuff to test ideas for the new game as well as how the implementations go. Light no Fire will probably have similar seamless moving multiplayer bases(caravans or whatever since the setting is fantasy). Edit: Didn't take long...

    No Man's Sky

    In terms of actual content this looks like a pretty light update, but in terms of tech changes this seems pretty big. They're basically allowing you to have a mini Freighter, you can decorate the ship, both the inside(including having a refiner to craft stuff, grow and harvest plants and such)...

    Abiotic Factor

    Thanks for this post btw, been playing this for like a week because of it. When I initially checked the game out on Twitch quickly I assumed it was another horror game thing and quickly closed the stream and it's only when I saw the thread being bumped I figured I'd check what this thread was...

    Path of Exile 2

    They're likely just going to integrate the website directly ingame, they said they're working on it already so might not be too long. It's still different from traditional auction houses since you have to go to the hideout to buy stuff and what not, in some ways it's close to korean games where...

    Path of Exile 2

    The detailed video that explains all the stuff. Bunch of interesting changes for skills/supports and all that which I guess explains the lack of new class.

    Total War: Warhammer

    Tried other drivers? Nvidia completely shit the bed with 50xx drivers there were a lot of issues in some games with specifically the 50xx cards back when they released and for months after, not sure how it is today but likely worth checking out if it's fixed.

    Dawn of War 4

    Not made by Relic though so not sure why you're complaining about CoH3. Might still turn out shit but bit early to say.

    Hollow Knight: Silksong

    Took a long fucking time, wonder how likely the game ends up being kinda meh cause they reworked it a bunch and some parts don't mesh well or whatever. Hoping it's good though

    Last Epoch

    Next patch trailer, new seasonal content with the usual new zones, mechanics, uniques and all that, new crafting option tied to new season that lets you seal 2 affixes and upgrade one to T8, Chapter 10 main story added, Lich and Necro passive tree reworks and Lich new skill+rework of old skills...

    Terraria

    It's weird that open beta announcement(official video I'd assume?) doesn't show anything unique, had to check the mod overview video instead to figure out that yes, it does have not just new areas/bosses but also leveling, skills+skill trees, and stuff like auction house and currency...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Probably the low end cards only I'd guess. Makes sense these aren't selling as well, not really worth upgrading if you're not on an old card and if you are you might want to look at investing into a card that'll last you longer or buying 2nd hand/AMD to save more money. They also got initial...

    Battlefield 6

    Whoever made this generated an AI picture of text instead of just copy pasting an AI generated text, competing for the worst lazy meme ever made I'd assume?

    Titan Quest 2

    Crate is still working on Grim Dawn, there's another expansion coming at some point in the future(2026 probably) and possibly they're starting work on Grim Dawn 2 also(granted they apparently hadn't even started when they announced the expansion so... yeah not anytime soon, if ever). Honestly...

    Well obviously the big issue is copyright and why companies don't bother doing anything to help with that. It would cost pretty much nothing to release the source code of their servers and let fat nerds make their own servers out of that. A lot of time the fat nerds already do that out of leaked...

    The companies that close some of these games don't all go under. The posts above about single player games having always online DRM is a good example. Did EA shutdown? No. They just don't want to run the servers anymore, so they closed them, for example because they're releasing the new version...

    Broken Arrow

    Warcraft 3+expansion, C&C Red Alert and Dawn of War(1 and 2) had great single player campaigns. SC was also pretty decent as far as I remember. Not that common though and pretty much all old games now.

    Black Desert

    There is a bunch more stuff now after seasons, free PEN Blackstars and shit, and the gearing is also kinda faster-ish with the new accessories and Tuvala X I think? But yeah there's a big gap between a lot of the new content they're adding and where a new player will be after like a month, but...

    Chrono Odyssey

    He's playing the gacha mmo shit that released last week too but yeah his opinion is worth fucking nothing. Game looks fine though, nothing groundbreaking even though that video that showed the features had like a billion of them, it was just the same old, but combat looked rather decent, art...

    Path of Exile

    Saw a video a couple days ago about BAMA(or well just BA I guess) for leveling, like buy the gem asap and then just blink arrow around as your clones kill everything, and you can do the trick where you use haste then clone with a 2nd normal mirror arrow and as long as you keep refreshing the...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Why not, it's apparently amongst the best console launch from preliminary numbers, and it's not even because it's cheaper like the old days. It could have been a bad move but apparently Nintendo fans don't care(and to an extent it's understandable, better buy it if you can than have to rely on...

    Thing is they don't really have to cut anyone, they're making tons of money already because yeah the price of games hasn't raised, but they sell so many more games even when the games have mild sales, that the point is moot. As usual it's more a question of "how much more can we make" rather...

    Tried the demo, honestly it seems pretty good, big question mark obviously being the monetization, seeing as how this is Vindictus by Nexon. I didn't do everything cause I didn't want to bother playing an alpha too much but cleared the first big chapter, bosses were pretty fun, the char I...
