    Path of Exile 2

    Personally I quite like act 1, teaches you to dodge out of shit and stuff. I do think some skills should be available earlier though, but I think I'd compress it so you get all your skills by half of act2 rather than put everything in act1. It's starting around act3 that it gets tiresome as...

    Path of Exile 2

    The new Sorc clears really quickly while leveling once you get the ascendancy+decent spectres. It's pretty slow early on though.

    Once AI actually becomes good enough that it's not spottable constantly and show a lack of QA to save money, I think it'll be fine, currently though people just notice it pretty easily and when you have companies making tens of millions of dollars a month with live service shit skimping on...

    Too lazy to check source but a reddit post comparing it sais last year was even lower(9% iirc it said), it is a consistent statistic, a lot of people just don't play the lastest game because of money/sales, because they wait for later versions, because they just play older games or some genres...

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

    Yeah I'm considering a 5070ti too cause the prices are actually around MSRP which is significantly lower than 5080 prices I'm seeing. I was thinking I'd wait next gen but Nvidia cutting production means their next cards are either going to be delayed or ship in ridiculously small numbers and not...

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

    Man the whole system is super fucked because of all the AI shit. I've been putting off upgrading and now I basically need to BUY NOW or just get fucked for an inderterminate amount of time that is likely going to be much longer than the Covid fuckery because there's no way AI crashes that...

    Total War: Warhammer 40,000

    Main issue for me about DLCs is the races I want to play the most will likely be held back for game2 like they did with Fantasy. I want Tyranids mostly and then Necrons and I feel the Nid/Necron/Tau stuff will be the launch factions for the 2nd game because they're big, meanwhile first game only...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Oh yeah that panel should be nice too I've had a couple of sidebars I can probably get rid of, or at least most of them cause I think the new panel doesn't allow for keybindings and I'm using stuff there for some classes with too many buttons and a few other things. That said I'll likely just...

    Total War: Warhammer 40,000

    Yeah probably preorder faction so going to be 5, but tbh makes sense they do have deadlines and shit to make so they can't really be launching with 25 races. Can always just wait a year before buying it, saves money, get patches, and they'll probably add 2-3 factions in that time.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Some people play secondary chars so they can play another race without having to fantasia, or because they're addicts and need to have "stuff to do" so they raid twice a week instead of using their time for anything else, but yeah this is definitely one game where I've never felt the need to...

    Path of Exile 2

    I think it'll bring the refreshing PoE1 experience of pathing straight out into stats nodes to rush some minion nodes and ignore the starting area entirely. Riveting few early levels.

    Path of Exile 2

    Well fuck, I was pretty set on werewolf wolfpack shit but now they have a fire elemental golementalist sorceress, hmmm, might have to check both out.

    Path of Exile 2

    I think Druids looks pretty nice, the rest of the patch looks quite meh. I disliked Synthesis "make your own map" shit a lot especially since there was a lot of optimization to make it good and didn't play Kalandra so not sure if it was much better but that shit gets tedious quickly. The new...

    Corpse runs as in you die to a boss you rez 10mins away and have to run back all the way to the boss room. Still have to grab runes but that's not as much of a concern. Also it's not everywhere, if you die to a boss in the overworld you'll still get put into the nearest spot, but most story...

    Elden Ring removed corpse runs at least, I think no pausing is still there though which honestly should just be a thing if you have invasions/online on and not if you're playing solo, but well.
