    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Yes, maybe so, but I've got my moneys worth out of them so far!

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Huge western game companies seem to all fall into this pit when they get big/successful. You can really see the difference with smaller ones. If I pick one of my pet loves at the moment, KLEI, they reliably put out new content for their games regularly, monthly for their more popular titles...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You can easily get fishing 1-80 spending maybe 200k gil buying fish for leves off the market board. Only fishing you really have to do is for the quests, some of which do take a while - hello Catkiller!

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What does "mandatory arbitration" mean in the context of blizzard abuse allegations? Does blizz force accusers and accusees to sit in a room and try to work it out?

    Stand your ground! Healers just need to adjust. If you died it's because they didn't put big enough shields on you.

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    The texturing is wonderful, the main troopers faces and armour looks like it was painted on by a paint brush.

    Doesn't matter, you just need to get any adventuring class to 50 then you can unlock Samurai. Of the starting classes maybe Puglist is the closest playstyle to Samurai?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yep. At my firm christmas parties I've witnessed two conversations where groups of drunk people were bragging about how many of the women in the office they've fucked, or speculating about how many guys in the office the hot chick from department X has slept with, all while the women in question...

    I read in a wiki that the crystal tower quest series is now required for completion of the ARR MSQ at one of the last steps just before you get to heavensward. Is that true? Seems like quite the obstacle to have to do 3x24 person raids to move to the xpac.

    Black Widow (2020)

    I was waiting for the bullets to hit something critical but the plot armour saved it. I thought overall that was one of the most entertaining sequences in the movie though. I pre-emptively laughed when BW landed on the ground in the pose because I could hear the scoffing from Yelena before the...

    Clarkson's Farm

    This was very entertaining! As someone else said, made me want to bust out farming simulator, but then I remember how annoying the driving is in that game.

    Black Widow (2020)

    I thought this was quite alright. I laughed several times, I thought the banter between the sisters and father was entertaining, the fights were mostly good. Not so great was the mother who was very forgettable, and most of all taskmaster who was awful, shit on the source material, and served...

    Great 4x games?

    I played Old World a bunch and would consider it pretty good.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    What a great game.. finished the game and integrade on normal, farmed most of the random achievements.. started on hard mode now.. through the first 3 acts so far, pretty easy going.. i bet the airbender is going to be the first major hurdle.. we'll see!

    Will using my 7 year old character provide much of an advantage vs just rolling a brand new one?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I haven't played this since 2014 when I was vaguely endgame with decent stuff. Re-downloading it now. Anything in particular I should try to do to get current or shall I just wander aimlessly and follow quest markers?

    Loki

    The fight scenes were the worst. Absolutely dull.

    Humankind (Civ-style game from Amplitude Studios)

    Has anyone played Humankind in beta? How is it shaping up? I played Old World early access and it's quite good although has AI issues like every other game in this genre has.

    Nice! I was hoping he would show up.. Was handled well I thought.

    Loki

    You should definitely complain on twitter that they are microaggressing you. Show is great fun so far, the two leads are wonderful together.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Picked this up for PS5.. and I am hooked.. Game is so much better than I expected it would be and I'm loving the new combat system. Feels like I have so much practice ahead of me to really get the most out of it.

    The E3 2021 Thread

    Big studios are not going to risk AAA tier funding on unproven ideas. We still get big name games which have some uniqueness to them, think H:ZD or Returnal, but they are just reskins of existing games/mechanics pretty much. There is still plenty of innovation and creativity in indie studios...

    The Outer Worlds

    It's worth playing IMO, especially since there is no OW2 release date, it's probably a couple of years off.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    They still don't have any gameplay. Chances of them actually hitting that release date with a decent product? Odds not good.

    Managed to sit through this today but it was not easy. Boring, extremely badly edited, chaotic and nonsensical.

    Have you tried other similar games like Satisfactory, Oxygen Not Included, Dyson Sphere program?

    Marvel's The Punisher

    Agreed, Apparently he was in the running for the job but I assume the producers wanted the GoT guy to bring some viewers across. Shame, he's an actual martial artist and that would have helped with the choreography problems.

    The Umbrella Academy

    They can just continue umbrella academy as if nothing has changed. Ellen Page wasn't the most feminine looking woman. Just put some makeup and maybe a wig and you won't be able to tell the difference. It's more whether Mr Page would be willing to do that.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    There's basically zero corona measures in Australia/Sydney. He definitely isn't violating them in his own house. And yeah border restrictions (like most rules/laws) don't apply to people with enough money.

    What did you just read?

    I found the second a lot harder to get in to because Gideon is a much more entertaining narrator than Harrow. Also I found Harrow confusing as fuck for the first 4 chapters or so, until I realised what the different perspectives were all about. Having said that even the second book was fantastic...

    Stellaris

    I do full kinetic weapons for corvettes and destroyers, maximum shields my power can support. Cruisers I might do full kinetic or hangers depending on my tech and mood. Battleships mostly tachyon lance+neutron launchers, with some hanger battleships mixed in, and a bunch of corvettes in the...

    Ah yeah I meant spiral type galaxy. edited my post.

    Stellaris

    Play 4 arm spiral galaxy type, that makes there be a lot more chokepoints. I think it might be worthwhile playing total war for a bunch of games, with high AI density on small-medium sized maps, on as high difficulty as you can stand. You will die and restart a bunch of times (at least that was...

    Victoria 3 - Paradox

    Yeah I get it, I just think it's a positive attribute and you don't. I mean my favourite game of the last few years is Oxygen Not Included, and the expansion Klei released for that late last year changed the base game even more than any paradox DLC, and I think it's wonderful. There are paradox...

    Right, thats great, but still far fewer than paradox has released in the same period.

    Victoria 3 - Paradox

    I don't think other companies do that. What company has released a new 4X game every 5 years? Stellaris is 5 years old and has been revamped so many times, it may as well have been new games. Since Stellaris they also released CK3 and Planetfall. In my opinion Paradox are one of the good ones.
