    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    I finished this game in the past few days and yeah the handholding was very annoying. My main complaints were those unnecessary dialogues "Eh Oliver there's an ice stalagmite blocking the path, maybe you should find a spell that could help us do something with this ICE. You know, like maybe a...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah I posted videos of that build, well my variation which is single arrow with prolif/chance to ignite spreading burns, but the build is pretty fun and very strong.

    Path of Exile

    I find reflect to be mostly an issue when you play EK which can creates super large amount of burst due to the aoe factor and high base dmg per cast. As a melee for example I don't find it to be much of an issue because it's unlikely you'll be hitting as many targets anyway. I guess it could...

    Path of Exile

    The current fotm strongest specs would be ultra tanky freezing pulse or ethereal knives caster(FP is better imo, safer against reflect, safer in general due to freeze/chill), dual spark totem variations(summoner and traps mixed in) and lightning arrow archers builds. Melees are simply at a big...

    Do any good video game movies exist?

    Or worse, they could be making a movie about Other M. But yeah the main issue is taking stories of video games and trying to make them mainstream, or simply taking video games that don't need to be made into a movie because the story sucks to begin with(like DoA, Doom or Super Mario).

    Path of Exile

    You can make a claw weapon dual wield shadow/ranger with whirlding blades and/or flickerstrike and do something very similar, however as pointed out, it will require very very good gear to be even remotely viable because of the current mechanics. While the game is great and has a lot of depth...

    Hearthstone

    I would argue against D3, mostly because I find PoE to be the superior game, yes the animations and the way it plays are low budget because it's a small studio, at the same time the game didn't release like a piece of shit then took 10months to be finished even though D3 was made with like what...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    I think he's talking about XIII "3" Lightning Returns or whatever. They do have a tendency of doing -2s now and while they're pretty good in general(X2 had the awful jpop thing mixed in but otherwise had very cool combat and XIII2 is supposedly very good even though I haven't played it), usually...

    Firefall

    Obviously the MOBA style of gameplay is close to every RPG since it is basically the SC/WAR3 hero concept where you have a class that progresses and unlock skills. The difference is in the limited scope and the amount of "classes". You seem to believe that they will add new skills to existing...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    It's more like there wasn't that much information on the game until recently, some vague stuff and some general trailer like videos(the original trailer was pretty well received iirc on the FoH forums). Recently though they've been going into PR mode since beta is about to start and they want to...

    Path of Exile

    I bought the Bronze Pack during closed beta, not sure what it was, 50$? Something like that. Still have 110points left so about 40$ spent so far, everything in normal stash tabs.

    Firefall

    That's why I said the rest looks decent enough, the moba copy is most likely a fucking terrible idea though because unless your balance is excelent(very unlikely) or your choice of frames is insane(which won't happen for a while), then you'll run into the issue of having every fucking one...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah most likely but it can come with balancing downsides(spell does 30% less damage) and it gives a chance for a power charge, not guaranteed so while you'll have a high crit % with passives and full power charges, it can still drop it then rebuilding will take a while. A new way to get power...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    That is why in a sense, it is better than in other games(even though they added other types of random events and some quests too last time I checked). Their core game is about thumping. It however also links everything about harvesting with killing stuff. Thumping is basically generating your...

    Transistor, new game by the creators of Bastion

    I watched the trailer a few times, I think I cry everytime, when it says 2014. So far awayOST for this is on track to be insane though, really love the music in the trailer.

    Hearthstone

    Well I guess they tested super high prices for cosmetics shit in WoW, fee on every item transaction and real money transactions with D3, so I guess what's left is death by a thousand microtransaction tests with this new thing, and then Titan preparing tests will be over.
  18. Pyros

    Firefall

    Wow it's like they have no fucking idea what they're doing and just remade the entire system yet again, this time worse than the previous one somehow I think by copying dota-likes, down to being able to buy frames for real money instead of grinding, LoL style. At least the other changes looked...

    Defiance

    While alphas start earlier than betas, they often continue along with beta to test stuff internally before it's sent to a larger playerbase where NDA tends to be less respected or lifted. This is the case for most mmos at least, I've been in alpha for Rift and GW2 and both had alphas up to the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Archer Lancer Conjurer and Gladiator is what they're doing P1 and P2 with. P3 will have all classes(also all cities, currently only one city so rerolls/lvling other classes is pretty shitty).

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    PS3 is phase3, so not before like may or some shit. Phase2 is apparently only a few additions and gamepad PC support(gamepad interface, mapping and whatever else).

    DOTA 2

    PL was kinda fine before, he was buffed, probably too strong now, he'll get nerfed back eventually. Interestingly a few years ago PL was considered a really late game pick and only that, but also a few years ago people didn't manage to farm as much as now(both due to skill, playstyle and...

    Path of Exile

    Was a while ago though at launch with clarity and such. Cruel gems aren't worth it, you need to lvl to 20 to enter cruel, which is dumb and slow as fuck and also hard to multibox efficiently unless you replicate keypresses and shit but I don't wanna bother. For normal though it takes less than...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Seems like exactly the same footage as the longer interview that was posted earlier. Maybe a few new shots but quickly moving through the video it was all stuff I'd seen. Still no gameplay footage.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There's english servers, but a lot of people would rather play on "international" servers than on their own servers, myself included. And yes my accent is complete shit but whatever. Most guilds on english servers are a mix of UK and nordics(swedish/danish people) with a few...

    Path of Exile

    Fire does ok damage if you have a Searing Touch. Just use 2 fire traps and fireball with conc effect and LMP or GMP. If you're having issues most likely it's a gear issue, like not having a 5L or a good searing touch. I'd use the 5L chest for fireball, like Fireball, Conc Effect, Faster Casting...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Interesting video. The animations looked absolutely awful, like they looked ok in a vacuum but then the characters move at the same time and it's like all models sliding around and shit, like it's designed for static standing still and beat each other gameplay. Also even though they showed a lot...

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Just watched Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki, it was really great, slow paced daily life type of movie about a mother who has to raise her 2 kids alone with a fantasy twist mixed in about werewolves. Great animation, great story, was a bit surprised since it was in my backlog of stuff I usually...

    DOTA 2

    Well it's quite a bit more than that, I mean there's the deficit for the player who dies(both the gold he loses from the death and gold he doesn't get from last hits while dead) and the xp(both for you and the xp the enemy isn't gaining) and I don't know if you counted the assist gold in your...

    DOTA 2

    Yeah lots of good points, overall though it's all relative and will depend on how the game is going, what the lanes are, what is your skill, what's your lane partner's skill, what are your opponent's skills, what are the risks of random aspects of your attack playing against you, how effective a...

    Origins of Malu

    Got a key, can't tell what the fuck the game is about based on their website, beta starts march 30th so we'll see I guess, I don't expect much when they don't even have a video up of the game before they start beta.

    Path of Exile

    Well if you run into a massive deadend in docks, you just TP out and remake one. There isn't really a need to backtrack, but you need to use TPs and while they're cheap it's still something you're not gonna gain as a result. Other issue is it can be deadly, even when super geared. LMP rare dogs...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah or just keep running, but avoiding him is generally the best course of action, depending on your build and gear at that point though you can just kill him if you happen to run into him. It's not often but it does happen even when hugging south west wall, like 1/30 clears or whatever. I know...

    Path of Exile

    Really the only thing to make a successful HC char is to build with a lot of health. You should have 200%health by 70(so 87-90points or so), in my opinion. You can do with less but that's just gonna be riskier, and that's even more of an issue on a first char without a bunch of health gear lying...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This is still fairly early beta though, which tends to have a NDA regardless, and their development is messy since they had an entire game but have to rework it system by system. We'll see how long they keep a NDA, but having a NDA months before release isn't really a bad thing nor does it mean...

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Oh two anime movies that I had forgotten and were pretty nice too, Ninja Scroll (Juubee Ninpuuchou). Good ninja action movie from back when I started watching anime. Second was Jin Roh.

    DOTA 2

    Yeah read the notes, interesting changes, guess that means Drow in -cm soonish in dota2. Tranquil nerf seems fine, it's a fairly big nerf but the boots are still good because it doesn't ruin their main purpose, just force you to be more thoughtful about how you use them. Living Armor change I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Could be too, I guess it doesn't qualify as a sequel since they didn't make dota, I wish them good luck with that though cause they're also going against Valve on that front, and Valve has set the bar pretty high. And Riot has the "blizzard" market too for now so they'll have to work hard if...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah sounds about right, and probably the least interesting announcement of the year, even though who knows, someone might be able to top it, but unlikely.
