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

    Yeah I'm considering a 5070ti too cause the prices are actually around MSRP which is significantly lower than 5080 prices I'm seeing. I was thinking I'd wait next gen but Nvidia cutting production means their next cards are either going to be delayed or ship in ridiculously small numbers and not...

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

    Man the whole system is super fucked because of all the AI shit. I've been putting off upgrading and now I basically need to BUY NOW or just get fucked for an inderterminate amount of time that is likely going to be much longer than the Covid fuckery because there's no way AI crashes that...

    Total War: Warhammer 40,000

    Main issue for me about DLCs is the races I want to play the most will likely be held back for game2 like they did with Fantasy. I want Tyranids mostly and then Necrons and I feel the Nid/Necron/Tau stuff will be the launch factions for the 2nd game because they're big, meanwhile first game only...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Oh yeah that panel should be nice too I've had a couple of sidebars I can probably get rid of, or at least most of them cause I think the new panel doesn't allow for keybindings and I'm using stuff there for some classes with too many buttons and a few other things. That said I'll likely just...

    Total War: Warhammer 40,000

    Yeah probably preorder faction so going to be 5, but tbh makes sense they do have deadlines and shit to make so they can't really be launching with 25 races. Can always just wait a year before buying it, saves money, get patches, and they'll probably add 2-3 factions in that time.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Some people play secondary chars so they can play another race without having to fantasia, or because they're addicts and need to have "stuff to do" so they raid twice a week instead of using their time for anything else, but yeah this is definitely one game where I've never felt the need to...

    Path of Exile 2

    I think it'll bring the refreshing PoE1 experience of pathing straight out into stats nodes to rush some minion nodes and ignore the starting area entirely. Riveting few early levels.

    Well fuck, I was pretty set on werewolf wolfpack shit but now they have a fire elemental golementalist sorceress, hmmm, might have to check both out.

    Path of Exile 2

    I think Druids looks pretty nice, the rest of the patch looks quite meh. I disliked Synthesis "make your own map" shit a lot especially since there was a lot of optimization to make it good and didn't play Kalandra so not sure if it was much better but that shit gets tedious quickly. The new...

    Corpse runs as in you die to a boss you rez 10mins away and have to run back all the way to the boss room. Still have to grab runes but that's not as much of a concern. Also it's not everywhere, if you die to a boss in the overworld you'll still get put into the nearest spot, but most story...

    Elden Ring removed corpse runs at least, I think no pausing is still there though which honestly should just be a thing if you have invasions/online on and not if you're playing solo, but well.

    Path of Exile 2

    Well they'll likely have one ascendancy that's just transformations which is probably going to play like a pure melee but with different toggled modes(big slow aoe bear, fast attack wolf kind of shit I'd assume). Otherwise potentially a Templar thing.

    The Game Awards 2020

    Oh yeah I definitely don't know about it, only saw it on Twitch(just the viewer numbers didn't check a stream to avoid spoilers) and Reddit, I assumed it would have some LGBT stuff based on char designs and just being a modern story centric game. It seems to have been pretty well received though.

    The Game Awards 2020

    Enjoyed Abiotic Factor a bunch earlier this year, very Half Life 2 vibe to it. Kingdom Come 2 I've also heard was really good although I haven't played it yet. Same for Blue Prince heard a lot of good things about it but haven't played it yet. I hear a bunch about Dispatch but that'd fall in the...

    Nier Automata

    Automata is the one that got a lot of people into Nier and got a lot of success. Hell the IP is still being kept alive just from collabs which are still extremely common for a game released such a long time ago and for most people Automata is the "main" Nier with the previous ones just being...

    Necesse -solo dev indie Terraria style settlement survival builder

    I played it when they released 1.0, made a post in the general news about it, it's a pretty fun game. Nothing too amazing though, it's very copypasted Terraria stuff, the villagers and giving them roles so they do all the annoying shit for you is great and at the end of the game they have a Path...

    I don't care at all about the box since I still like getting a strong PC and stuff but the controller looks pretty neat so I'm kinda interested in that, especially since my aging DS4 is having stick issues(took it apart, cleaned it, didn't fix anything, and it's not drift so I'm not even sure...

    Looks interesting I'll put it on the wishlist for later. Looks a bit like Mortal Sin but less speedy and more controlled.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Racial gear being tied to the race body itself will limit it yeah but it is otherwise a huge change for glamours. The crafter stuff has a ton of really good glamours, alchemist for combat medic kind of stuff, blacksmith has notably one of the best chest pieces for monk type glamours with just...

    V Rising

    Completely fine and if you don't like some of the grind you can just change the "server" stats which is just your world stuff, so you can make it so enemies drop more stuff, you cut more trees, items stack more or merchants are cheaper and so on and that'll speed up any issue you might have.

    Secret of Weepstone - old school RPG

    Gave the demo a try, feels pretty meh. Art is very good, they're going for a D&D campaign kind of storytelling too which I like but the gameplay is tedious. They really want to push the whole D&D aspect so every fucking attack has to be rolled with dices, once for hit/miss and once for...

    Twitch.tv

    Other day I reported a channel cause I clicked on a fairly low streamer to check out a new game, and the chat was entirely bots, like 100 "viewers" and people constantly talking, saying random sentences not related to the stream, either stuff like "ah the weekend, time to chill and discover new...

    Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor

    Seems it's actually all DLCs minus the last DLC(which is also on sale for 2.99 currently). Thought it had everything so refunded, I'll wait another year or two to get everything in the real definitive definitive edition, final form.

    Path of Exile

    Oh wow they backported the Minion accuracy buff from PoE2, minions now always hit. Made sense in PoE2 cause you had no way to scale accuracy almost(and the aura was more shit to use) so didn't expect that in PoE1. It isn't that big of a deal after they buffed minion accuracy like 2years ago but...

    The "real" market is also retarded shit and your money can disappear just as fast, it's just somewhat more regulated and less centralized. Still, people's money get wiped every now and then from bad investments, especially if you go all in like this or whenever the usual generational crash...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
