    Neverwinter: PC

    Suggestions for Gateway? I've got like level 12 leadership, almost 13... and like platesmithing and mailsmithing at 4-5. Should I buy a 4th companion or is there an in-game companion I can buy/farm? I've got a vicious dire wolf, phoera and a damaran shepherd and got autoassigned a gimp for my...

    Virtual Reality

    I agree, this is what will most heavily influence my first VR purchase as early as this fall if these consumer units really launch. The idea that Valve is building a platform with the VIVE the first piece of it has me hopeful that people will just fall into line with what they're doing to some...

    Neverwinter: PC

    My toon that I haven't played since a bit after launch is only 37, a cleric. Logged in last night... omg I have so many of those charms/enchantments, but at least loot is more manageable than Marvel Heroes. Once I got my powers and feats reset a huge health bar appeared on my screen. Checked...

    It's a balance, more loyalty and play of their titles as the result of cross-buy may equal more DLC purchases and players willing to put more investment into a game/franchise. I'm not the gamer I used to be, but even when I had a lot more time it was things like Steam sales that resulted in...

    They threw a bone to the Droid Turbo users waiting on Lollipop still and said we'll be going straight to 5.1. Yay I guess.

    Yeah, wondering if Dish has an exclusive locked up with Disney or they're just too expensive for Sony to add at current prices.

    I thought it was pretty clear from the previews for next week that's what EJO's role is.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I wonder if this could lead to Coulson being freed up to start Secret Warriors / SWORD / Secret Avengers. Probably starting to set up any ties to Age of Ultron also.

    House of Cards

    I wouldn't be very disappointed if by the middle of next season the focus is on the Dunbar family and administration than the Underwoods. This season made me ready to move on from Frank and Claire, if not the series in general. Aside from some of the Russian stuff around episode 8-9, and some...

    The Order: 1886

    So there's been no DLC announcements for this thus far? With how they reused some fights and assets you'd think they wrap up some trimmed-for-time content together a couple more 'episodes' as an add-on for this title. Could do some vampire-centric stuff, maybe something from the perspective of...

    The customer was compensated, legitimizing the charges - that's the 'because Sony' part of this. That's the point you keep missing and I'm not sure how I can make it clearer. Sony saw the issue as resolved with their $150 in PSN credit compensation, despite the charges being for much more...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    The difference is Sony believes the issue is resolved on their end and the charges at this point are 'valid' because they've compensated their customer. I've worked in those kinds of departments, you help the customer and defer to the bank to recoup funds, but if you dispute charges on...

    Most services ban you if you dispute any charges, that's pretty normal. Some valid issues with the rest of the policies he's wrestling with though.

    Cities: Skylines

    How's performance for everyone? Part of the reason I didn't play much last night was the game kind chugging at full screen at 2560x1440 w/ a GTX 670 and an i7 920. Dropped to 1080p windows and it was a bit more playable. Probably tinker with settings a bit more to get it smoother, move it to...

    Cities: Skylines

    Max size of a map is 25 squares I think, 5x5, unless a preview i read was wrong. Almost wish I could unlock them non-contiguously, actually be forced to develop a remoter suburb, but all things you can do without being forced I suppose. Seen it posted there's already mods to just unlock it all.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah, 'feels' running I get more doing 6-8 levels of a t6 rift over and over. Especially with the chances for packs of goblins, which can lead to really obscene hauls and happen frequently enough to make them realistic to hope for.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Get rid of regular rifts and numbered rift stones, use the 'pick from what you've cleared' mechanism, and have bounties reward stones as they do now. Would need to retune loot a bit since you get so much more in a regular and can go multiple levels, or have that type of loot system be an...

    Comcast doesn't participate so their HBO subs can't use the app. It's not in the provider list. DirecTV did this for a long time on the Roku. Will be interested in how much the standalone HBO service is next month, guessing $20+.
