    Path of Exile 2

    I did my 3rd ascend after hitting T15 iirc, but it also wasn't really valuable until I swapped to ES anyway so there was no real reason to do it. As for early mapping, pretty sure they put a guaranteed overseer in the gate map when you enter the fortress, you just run that with blue maps(3 to 1...

    Looks like a solid deal, I have Sea of Stars on my wishlist and its lowest price was still $17 so the whole package is cheaper than just that. There's a bunch of decent smaller games in there too. Might actually buy that.

    Aion 2

    Dear fuck, while this is a nice video, this is so much fucking random shit. 20billion type of currencies, lots of daily and weekly stuff to keep track of, 350 types of progression in gearing, looks like so much fucking busywork just for the sake of it. It looks like a 20years old MMO systems...

    Right sorry I thought it was single, it's 2 player coop though right? And with no replayability and less than 2hours of content and no matchmaking so it's friendslop. Still doesn't change that by the time NA gets the game, EUs finished it and by the time asia gets it, NA is done, so it just...

    A 2hour long game wouldn't have many concurrent users for a fairly obvious reason, by the time more people buy and play the early ones are already done. CCU doesn't mean much for smaller single player games, especially the ones that weren't popular from being by a famous person or some other...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Superior Lair Keys replaced Belial fragments, basically Belial drops them when he spawns randomly when doing lair bosses, and you can get some rarely from Greater Lair bosses too and I think any "key" source although a lot more rare than others. And yeah Greater Keys still drop from normal lair...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Yeah about the static affixes it does make getting good items easier, but that's also true for their normal unique versions, and for these you can a lot more reliably get GAs. It also lets you min max more by potentially reroll one of the set affixes if it's not as valuable(for example the...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I'm not sure what you mean by "let you use mythics that were prior locked out of your build". Old mythics were nerfed pretty heavily and the few that are still good aren't really any better than they were before(I guess the ring can roll better now?). New unique mythic in theory are better than...

    Path of Exile 2

    Summon them, it's a sort of caster/summoner hybrid, you can play pure caster with the summons only for utility(notably good for hardcore cause it's quite tanky), or you can play summoner but the djinn summons behave like spells where they're not present permanently but you press a button to tell...

    If you dislike puzzles I could see why but imo Grimrock, especially the 2nd one, was much better than M&MX. I did enjoy it though. Imo the best games in that genre are the Etrian Odyssey series, you can buy 1-3 on Steam and can play the rest via DS/3DS emulators(including the remakes of 1 and...

    It's getting killed in 2028, which is hardly mid gen when the PS5 released in 2020. In fact it's likely to be around when they release or announce the PS6. Still a dick move

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Yeah I have BG3 on my wishlist too waiting for a deeper sales, but mostly because I have so many games to play I don't care that much. I also have Expedition 33 on there, Elden Ring's expansion, Crimson Desert, Cyberpunk 2077 and such. If at some point I feel like playing these specifically, I...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Mythics have only 2 fixed affixes instead of the whole item. However you can now also enchant mythics, so effectively you can pick a 3rd stat, but it makes them RNG for the 4th stat. Also not all the unique stats that were on the slots were preserved(Heir of Perdition used to have crit chance...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Yeah seems like pricing error. It's $34 with the 15% off code on fanatical and also straight up on GMG, there's a couple of sketchy sites on isthereanydeal showing it for less but these can be hit and miss(sometimes they show a price but when you go to order they ran out of keys, they don't...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Ymmv, personally I very much enjoyed the game even if it was flawed in many ways, but you need a decently strong PC and some aspects might turn you off more and make you regret your purchase, that said 15 bucks is pretty cheap. There's no demo so the only way to check the game out would be the...
