I was entertained and had a chance to play with some friends I hadn't gamed with since we stopped mainlining Risk of Rain 2. Shame we have to wait two more months to continue the fun.

I just read it this morning. I'm also kinda shocked that Wired still exists...

I will never understand the desire to watch people play a video game...

That happened to me as well. I was actually under the ground. So there are clearly still geometry etc issues in this build

The Necro minions benefit from your main passives, so I loaded up on thorns with the chance to hit everything when thorns procs and had the barrier / invul passives as well. By 25 I was just walking around ans evedything was dying from trying to gank my skellies and promptly killing themselves...

Druid with two-hander (Werebear or Werewolf) is just a better barbarian than the Barbarian at the moment.

I think the fact that the "light" is so heavily involved in the plot may be why we arent seeing a cleric/paladin in this initial release of classes. This whole deal where you are being introduced to the Light and faith and Inarius etc. would be really weird if you were already supposed to be a...

Druid is pretty fun. Werewolf is a nice melee DPS that is substantially less squishy than Barbarian. Earth is basically an Earthbender from Avatar and I'm absolutely okay with this..

I kinda get the impression that the Barbarian really requires extensive use of the 'golf club' arsenal mechanic. It's totally impractical that someone is running around juggling weapons like this,but seeing as this is a fantasy I'm okay with it.

There are 28 Altars of Lilith in the Beta area? I think I found like 7...

I did not see that with the legendaries. It would grey out if I had that same ability equipped (and it would choose the stronger effect of the two) but if I didn't have either equipped they looked fine. I do like that extracting a legendary power just gives you one material to slot that into...

I played all three to 25 and Sorc was my favorite with Rogue a close second. Barbarian did get to a point where it was okay after about level 16 or so but even then it felt way too squishy for the role.

I gotta say that I am a bit disappointed that orange drops are once-again the default way to play the game starting at level 10 or so.

Can you not unlock the Barbarian Weapon Technique in beta? It wants me to go waaaay to the west well outside the area allowed.

Diablo 4 seems to be the game that Diablo 3 was supposed to be. It's clearly the same graphics / game engine as 3 but with a very different plot and overall gritty feel. This is not in and of itself a bad thing. Diablo 3 was a fun game and iterating upon that foundation with better metagaming...

Chain Lightning and Hydra does seem to be the flavor of the moment for Sorcs... After I finished act 1 I went to try other specs and they do work, but no where near as nice. Doing Barb and Rogue now to see how different they feel

The Butcher is a random event. He just shows up in dungeons sometimes and wrecks your world. If he kills you he poofs.

Im finding this to be smoother on the Xbox than on my PC. Granted my PC isn't cutting edge anymore, but its still a bit surprising.

TLDR plans exist for a volume 2 down the road but cast was released from existing contracts. It is entirely possible this was the result of Disney pumping the brakes on all Disney+ series to try and recoup some money.

I mean. This is for the best. Even I couldn't get through the season.

Yeah that was DARK. Very dehumanizing. They had him give that lecture to tons and tons of people about how his research was so coo. They showed him off as a model convert to the New Republic only to throw him back into a tenament housing facility and make him work a menial clerk role with no...

It had its premiere last night at SXSW... any non shill reports as to quality? I've seen a few 'reviews' but I dont think I can trust the influencer sources.

So Luigi is the one captured by Bowser and Peach is helping Mario rescue him? Always knew Luigi had Big Damsel Energy

This comes out a week after BG3? What the actual fuck Bethesda??

Been a fan of Chris O'Dowd since the I.T. Crowd, definitely looking forward to this.

It was like 90% of the way there when they started their test phase. I'd say now its at 50% at best. I've literally never seen a team make the wrong decision every-single-time before.

They have made some...questionable design choices.

Spoiler for Raid ending cutscene (apparently)

The Destiny franchise is just mystery boxes stacked inside each other like a Russian doll. The original developers had a plotline and when that got nuked a year before Destiny 1 shipped everything went sideways. Its quite sad as the gameplay itself has been and continues to be quite good.

The N-1 Starfighter is also a product of Naboo and we've seen that the Naboo are very much thought of as high end aesthetic engineers. All their shit looks fancy but also is premium quality under the hood. I always thought of them as being fancy Italians ala Ferrari / Maserati / Lamborghini...

Game has some serious bugs. There was one section I had to repeat 4 times due to various errors: crash, stuck on geometry, trapped in never-ending elevator. There are also plot elements where it seems as if the protagonist is just not paying any attention to what little dialogue they actually...

When I was a poor grad student I embraced the skull and crossbones but vowed that when I was able I would make sure to compensate content creators in order to ensure that they continued to make stuff. I am perfectly fine with paying my $10 or whatever a month to have Trek year round... but I'm...

Interesting that they are ending it with season 5...and that said season is over a year away. With Picard's final run currently airing that leaves Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds carrying the torch. I know I only subbed to Paramount+ for Star Trek. I can easily see dropping that entirely...

For some reason I thought this week was the finale (probably since Mando is now back). This was a nice call back to existing plot lines. I am getting tired of the 'adventure of the week' format. I don't mind the concept but the adventures in question have been 'meh'

Interesting opening episode for the season. Metric fucktons of foreshadowing, not the least of which is Ezra/Thrawn. I dig the plant dude pirate captain and his ship.

I smell a group hate-watch heckle session coming on

Occasionally I'll go back and watch the original trailer for Destiny and imagine what a cool grand space opera it could have been. Then again I do the same with The Division and Anthem too.

I really thought Jack Crusher was gonna end up being a clone she made of her dead husband.

I like how the bigger story of how they ended up here is teased out in the recordings you find all over the place.... just like it was in BioShock. A buddy of mine thought this was just Russian Quake and knowing he's a huge BioShock fan I threatened him with bodily harm if he didn't at least...
