    Last Epoch

    So I wasn't wrong when I thought one of the 2 "new" rogue skills when they teased them looked exactly like the bladestorm node for shadow dagger, because it's literally what it is, they made a skill out of the upgrade. And other skill is basically just Sentinel echo but for Rogues. Their...

    Sometimes you're inbetween games and the new game looks really appealing so you want to play it right away. I know I buy fully value games every now and then, but not that often. Looking at my Steam replay thing, in 2025 I bought 3 games on release, MH Wilds(which ironically was a big waste of...

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

    Yeah gonna wait to see that performance hit. Also feels like it'll make a lot of games looks same-ish because it'll apply a generic lightning filter on everything that'll ruin some artistic choices. Although for games that are just trying to look like Hollywood movies it'll look great I guess...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I mean his argument isn't that you see a turd but can't guess it's going to taste shit, it's that you go to the Turds & Stuff restaurant and then complain to the manager that they're serving turds even though you're not planning on eating the turds anyway and some people are perfectly fine...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I don't think they'll keep adding that many limited jobs tbh, they're probably going to have trouble maintaining the 2 they have currently already so I'd be surprised if we saw more later cause they need to keep giving them updates after making them. 1-50 was expected though, it's also not bad...

    Monster Hunter Stories 3 - Twisted Reflection

    The main "fix" I've seen is to disable Steam Record feature(not sure why anyone would use it but whatever), it's likely some Denuvo shit as usual with Capcom games. Potentially Shadowplay similar feature might also cause issues I'd guess? There might also be some garbage Nvidia driver mixed in...

    Monster Hunter Stories 3 - Twisted Reflection

    There's a bunch of steam reviews about crashes but there's not that many overall, so not sure how widespread it is.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There were a bunch of stuff they said they're keeping for the fanfest so not that much was shown. New Ultimate is confirmed but the theme will be revealed in the fanfest for example. On inventory QoL, apparently you'll be able to store all dungeon sets in the armoire, which is infinite iirc? So...

    If the game ends up sucking, they'll need to give a raise to their PR team cause they've done a pretty good job at making the game look really good.

    Crimson Desert

    That looks like something he rebound? The inputs seem weird considering what they do in BDO using Shift and Space modifiers instead. That or every single unique skill in the game has a unique key combination and since they said there would be a lot of skills you could learn, they had to get...

    Path of Exile

    I was looking at the leveling video above and I got to thinking, is anyone even going to bother with Mirage mechanic while leveling? It's literally making your leveling a ton longer since you have to reclear stuff and it spits you back where you started doesn't it? Sounds like a horrible...

    Sunk cost is a lot more likely. It was originally a 2nd MMO project, then they cancelled that but decided to change it into single player to get some money out of it, but then kept spending more and more money into it and not having a finished product and they had no way back other than just...

    Crimson Desert

    Eh seems pretty standard stuff for open world games? It's a game that's been in the works for a very long time so even when they likely scrapped stuff for direction changes, they still had code and assets already made they could reuse later to re-add specific things, and then you have to...

    Path of Exile

    Thing is, and I could be wrong since I haven't played in forever but I assume that's still the case, the issue is that these skills are still melee. This is the same issue as melee in general, you need to be close and to hit stuff to do things. Normal summoner, you just run around, refreshing...

    Crimson Desert

    Yeah story is somewhat secondary for this type of game versus fun combat and large detailed world. I spent hundreds of hours on Skyrim, Terraria and Elden Ring and none of these have a good story(can argue Elden Ring but it's the usual Souls "the story is in the description of the items" shit...

    Finally got my Laevatein essence after like 5-6 more runs since the last batch, so around 38 or so runs? I didn't count precisely and since I farmed essences inbetween I can't just count my essences in my bag anymore. Got Ember's essence in like 3 runs though.

    Arknights Endfield

    I'm not sure if there's a real cap, but there's a natural cap just from the weapon you can slot the essence in. At lvl 90, stats go up to +9 and the special skill(infliction, twilight etc) up to... +6? I forgot but you can see the max stats on the weapon. You can keep upgrading essences until...

    These in a gacha are considered weak dupes btw. Which is good overall since less difference between whales and F2P, although gachas don't actually make whale content that much, the whale advantage is just stuff being easier/faster. An example of what happens when powercreep and greed go...

    Seems the new stuff is online on Asia servers and yeah apparently it's super easy, in fact they nerfed some stuff from the beta version. Only seeing that you might want a healer for one of the stage, which well, everyone has with Ardelia so shouldn't be a problem.

    Arknights Endfield

    Yeah but that doesn't matter THAT much. I think it's more of an issue if you play the ice team cause the aoe is kinda dogshit there, but the other teams can deal with aoe better, and if you have Gilberta even ice should be fine. Even then, it doesn't look like it's tightly tuned at all...

    Arknights Endfield

    I mean there were a decent amount initially. Hopefully they have events with standard pulls in the future patch. Usually these games only have 25-30standard pulls a patch(some of which are gated behind character levels, Hoyo like doing that for example) so it's not unrealistic to have them fix...

    Arknights Endfield

    Iirc in beta they said it was single team. And there's no indication so far it's made for more teams either, when usually it'd be noted in these previews, so yeah don't think it is. In the future it'll likely be increased to 2 teams but they might keep it to 1 for 1.0. We'll see though, I've...

    Arknights Endfield

    Yeah as I said, RNG is RNG, I did get the right essence stats on a purple in my 2nd to last run though, as a little fuck you. My luck has been weird on this game so far, like how after 19 pulls on 49 accounts, I only had 1 laevatein. I think when I checked the math quickly that was 3-4% chance...

    Arknights Endfield

    Was the same with Laevatein banner. And it's just ass systems to make you waste pulls. The only upside is you end up getting 15pulls total(5 per banner with 3 chars), while in other gachas they give you "only" 10, but the 10 are permanent limited tickets you can use on any banner, not these...

    Arknights Endfield

    It's not hard, the odds are very good. That said, it is still RNG. It's 1/24 to get the right stats, and since you get 3 orbs, 1/8. I've cleared the thing 35times(105 essences) so far and still don't have the stats for Laevatein. I have Endmin's, Wulfgard's(his 5* I didn't pull weaps)...

    Arknights Endfield

    Yes currently you can barely make anything in Wuling and it fits easily in non upgraded bases. The only thing you should realistically have is 2 batteries chains for your 2 xarite forges(with one that can have a component addon to make gear when you want), and a non optimal syringe chain to make...

    Granblue Fantasy: Relink

    Yeah saw the announcement, added to wishlist. Not sure how much they'll ask for it but if it's too expensive I'll just wait for sale, and if it's decent I'll buy instantly but pretty much buying regardless, really liked the original game so pleased they're doing more of it, just wish they didn't...

    Crimson Desert

    Nice they compiled a bunch of their classes onto a few chars, especially the non MC ones. Berserker guy can also do Striker stuff and the female char seems to be a big mix of Valk/Deadeye/Nova and the 2H sword stuff(which I guess is Seraph inspired but wonder if there's some Drakania/Dark Knight...

    There are patches with higher gacha currency but it's usually stuff like half anniversary/anniversary, or sometimes seasonal patches like christmas/chinese new year/summer kind of thing, just depends on the games. Events specifically yes some will give a lot of pulls while others won't. That's...

    Arknights Endfield

    They're adding harder content soon-ish though so I want the team to be done pretty much(well not done done, all the other chars are 70 and they skills are at like 6 cause that shit's too expensive) before I move on to another.
  32. Pyros

    Arknights Endfield

    Right 6* sometimes I get confused when games have 6* since it's just the same thing with a higher number, hell there isn't even any 123. I'll probably get Lifeng just to have them all. Sadly don't have any mats to build a 2nd team though, and this stupid Laevatein essence isn't popping, I think...

    FIFA and other EA similar products are definitely just sports gacha, no difference. And I wasn't saying people don't play them on phones/tablets at all, just that a significant amount don't, but there's still a lot that do play on mobile devices, hell probably a majority just because of the...

    Arknights Endfield

    As for the news, nice free 5*. Not sure who I want to get, I have all standards other than LiFeng but I really don't care about him, on the flipside he's quite good for the non Endmin phys team. Dupes of other chars don't matter all that much either so maybe I'll grab him. Rest is kinda...

    Arknights Endfield

    The thing is this goes for a lot of modern gachas, a lot of people play them on consoles/PC. Hell some of them run like shit unless you have the absolute best phones(like WuWa) but you can tell they do well on other platforms because they get awards and shit like that(since they usually don't...

    Crimson Desert

    I wish they'd show more of the other 2 chars. Wonder how complete that whole thing is, cause for years they've only been showing the fighter guy which is fine, but in that last teaser they had the giant berserker with the cannon and the woman valkyrie with a pistol and wondering if it's like a...

    Arknights Endfield

    Yeah you end up getting like 5-6m a day I think, but even then the 1m you can get from other's depots is nice cause the expensive stuff is well, expensive. Although this is something that I'll stop doing once I get tired of it since it's not that valuable either, just need to buy out the...

    Ashes of Creation

    A good amount of them yeah. Going through the wikipedia list and noting the ones that did quite well, there's Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2&3, Divinity Original Sin 1&2, Outter Wilds, Bard's Tale IV, Bloodstained, Crosscode, Shadowrun, Hollow Knight, Darkest Dungeon, Kingdom Come, Rimworld...

    The 2nd outpost can use LC batteries so it's not wasted. You'll need to redo all your factories once you find sandleaves anyway(I think it's in power station the first time?) so it's not big deal and you can keep the outposts low on stock bills just trading random garbage like origicrust or...

    Na Wuling is just not finished so everything caps at like lvl 2, it's like 85k for the delivery then a part is paid instantly so the actual job is ~70k I think most of the time. The tickets are also not THAT good because you simply don't have the stamina to run them anyway, especially if you...
