    It looks like many of the skills will be like "Flows" from BDO where you use the previous key combo again. Here is a vid going over every node in Kliff's skill tree. The other two playable characters have their own skill trees, though not as large.

    Here is a vid that shows the KB/M setup, and some of the key combos are a big nope, like Tab+F, lol. Edit: For KB/M all the key functions are remappable. I don't know if it will allow combos like Shift+1, or 1, 2, 3, etc. If it does, I'd certainly be placing Tab+F as Shift+F or a number key...

    It does though? At least what I've seen in the 3 videos I've watched so far? Luke, Skill Up and Fighting Cowboy. All showed active / reactive npcs everywhere. I understand what you're describing, and you can see that in BDO, but even in BDO you have npc's moving around everywhere along with the...

    What do you mean by "static npc's"? In the Luke video, every single npc was doing its own thing and would react to you (if needed).

    I think the controller setup is going to be a bit much, but as for KB/M? I think its going to be a lot like BDO, but I hope it allows us to remap. In Lukes video while showing some of the skill tree, it shows the KB/M keys for various skills: Focus Shot = Aim (whatever that key is, didn't show)...

    The one review I read that mentioned using KB/M was from a year ago, by someone that had not played BDO. Their description of combat was a bit odd; standard WASD, with Ctrl for Block, Space for dodge along with Q, E, F for abilities like grapple, mounting. They also mentioned that "skills" were...

    I did, and I mentioned that in my other post. As I said, I was impressed with how well the game seems to run on last gen hardware, and also why I am hopeful that once I am playing it on my system and this monitor the issues I have with how the game looks will become irrelevant.

    Had 75k crons sitting in my inventory, so I decided to finally try for some upgrades. Finished the Academy Combat missions which let me craft a SoV Mainhand. Crafted a Karazhad belt, then noticed the lack of BMC's and my lack of Magical Shards, so getting Kara rings / earrings will have to wait...

    Given what Digital Foundry said about the game in the vid I posted, I think it will run pretty well on systems with 30XX / 40XX and similar cards.

    Everything I've seen of CD has shown the game to be overly bright (even for midday), and poorly textured structures. Yes, everything we've seen has been pre-Gold versions, and it is why I hope the game has undergone some additional work on lighting / textures (it has, I think you see it somewhat...

    Crimson Desert

    Really? I'll agree the environments have looked good, but everything else is pretty ass. Trying to be a bit too realistic without the artistic chops to use lighting well. I know the video I'll post here is unfair given the difference in resources these companies have, but the difference in...

    Crimson Desert

    The game should be fine. A slightly better version of BDO without the p2w aspect and a "complete" game. Will it compare well to other massive single player games like RDR2 / Witcher 3 etc.? Probably not, especially in terms of Story. I think it'll be much more similar to a standard Ubisoft game...

    Not a true in depth DF review, but PA did send the guys some footage and info about the system it was taken on and the settings used, pretty impressive. Footage is 4K Native on last gen AMD hardware:

    I think the games gacha system is too self aware to ever allow someone in my situation to get another 6* at that 46th pull, then get Yvonne at the 50th, haha.

    Arknights Endfield

    So does this game have a 50/50 system on the 80th roll or not, and does that result carry over between banners? I read that it does, but my experience is that it does not. I did 80+ pulls in the Gilberta banner, but on that 80th pull I got Lifeng. I do some more, but stop thinking I'd rather...

    Note, unless I misunderstand how Block works for On-field / Off-field, you can use some other character (like Pog in that vid) as your main operator, but you'll need to be locked on to a target; when you use Catcher to Block, he will move infront of your controlled character.

    So they released a set of Western (cowgirl) outfits today, and also a bull riding emote. I appreciate the sense of humor these devs have.

    Go try Crypt of Resting Thoughts for the Orzeka Armor piece, low drop rate though, so if you can grind there prepare to stay awhile.

    I felt Star Rail was better than Genshin in every way IF you're ok with turn based combat.

    Sure there is. I don't recall what the next spot is according to the AP caps, but the longer you stay at Hexe, the more you will make. I wouldn't consider moving on to the next spot until you're over capped there as well. Unless you've tested that spot and are already making more. Edit: I...

    Crimson Desert

    The game has 5 "zones", but there will be no monster scaling. There will be areas that have higher lvl enemies that you will need to gear up for. From what I've seen being alluded too, your Character power will come from your Gear and Skill unlocks (more skills, more options). So yep, you can...

    The First Descendant

    Played a lot of the nerfed Gley, and also a lot of Dia the past few days. Gley is still a lot of fun and the nerfs can be offset via tweaking the mods used in her build. Dia has been surprisingly fun, can get into a really good rhythm with her skillset, at least for mobbing. Haven't tried out...

    Crimson Desert

    Mostly agree. I think it will just be a bigger BDO with a focus on combat, a more coherent Story and with all its various lifeskill (aside from Sailing). I hope the exploration side of CD will be worthwhile, I want to be running around and find some hidden away "dungeon like" area, kinda like...

    Crimson Desert

    I would like to know when the other two characters will unlock during the MSQ progression. Will it be early on, or way late? Having no shop/microtransactions seems like a miss, but also a win. It means we'll have to farm through various content to get cool looking stuff. The addition of Co-Op...

    Zerker is fairly top tier. If you hadn't played the DK back when you were playing the Zerker, then coming back to start with a DK, the difference between the two would be pretty significant. The DK, both versions, is just much more fluid in combat vs. a Zerker being a bit janky (imo).

    For those thinking of coming back, or are fairly new here is pretty good video by one of the better content creators for TFD. Might have good information for anyone/everyone.

    I meant a cap on the Essence itself, not the weapon. I've not seen any stat boosted by more than +3 on the Essence. So I was curious if its possible to get higher, or +3 to each.

    They would be foolish not sell some outfits for the characters and skins for various things, the pre-order bonuses have that already. My comment was more in regards to putting out DLC/Updates that interact with the world / systems they've made; new Abyss features, new forts for your troops to...

    If I like a gacha game, I usually dump a bit of money into it, so the Monthly, the Premium BP by default, then currency if I want a particular character (only with the Double amount though).

    Right, #2 makes the most sense given how stats are presented in game. Why they list #1 with 2 suboptimal stated pieces is beyond me. Also, upgrading gear is ass once you get past the 1st upgrade of any given stat. Annoying as hell not being able to craft multiple pieces of gear at once. So for...

    The servers for LiD will be shutting down this year, after a 10yr run, but they are making the game itself be playable offline with a big patch prior to the servers going down. I don't know how they will handle progression carry over, or any specifics about it all.

    Eh, I dunno. I'm not impressed with how Prydwen is showing their Builds for various characters, especially the Gear choices. Seems they are more focused on the 3-piece set bonus vs. Stats/Perk.

    Extremely quirky game by Suda 51, but so far I am finding it to be pretty fun. This is the guy who made other games like No More Heroes and Let It Die (I consider Let It Die to be one the best -games- I've every played). IGN review is pretty spot on:
