    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

    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...

    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...

    Yeah I was surprised it was 2v1, I watched the loser finals before and it was 1v1 and I assumed the whole thing was like that and the 2v2 was like "casual" stuff kinda like smash bro with friends vs smash bro FGC. But then got to the grand finals and it wasn't, hadn't watched the game before so...

    I'd expect Sony to not sell something they cannot guarantee to have available later on and if they do I'd expect them to negotiate in a way that makes it so they only have to remove it from the shop without removing access to paying customers, but here we are and after that yes I do expect them...

    It is Sony's fault though. Sure people shouldn't have trusted in this shit but well 99% of my PC games are on Steam, if tomorrow Gaben dies in an orgy accident and John Equity takes over Valve and just say half my games are now not mine anymore, I'm kinda fucked. Still wouldn't be my fault for...

    I mean at some point most people who wanted one already have one, and they raised the prices in april iirc so may numbers were always going to look like dogshit. Nintendo's rising their prices in september so their october numbers are also likely going to look not so hot(and Xbox is raising in...

    When you assign a point, it can either be a weapon set point specifically for that weapon set, which "gives you another point" for the other weapon set, or a generic point that counts for both weapon sets. The weapon points can be used as generic points too, so if you just assign everything as...

    Should just put a timer as a safety measure, if you're in range for x seconds(like say 20), the next wave spawns. If it's the last wave, trash mobs despawn after say 30seconds. Sure technically you could afk clear them but it'd be terribly inefficient so I don't think that matters(also you'd...

    Seems they have some major fuck ups with the trading stuff and people are losing their high value items(or maybe any items but ppl reporting seem to be mostly high value stuff like mageblood or the fork and shit). Items just poofing into the void or possibly being stolen. They did a hotfix...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    FF7 and Horizon Dawn have 2 discs, and nothing preventing them from doing 3 discs if that's needed, especially with the $10 price bump. It's most likely to curb resales.

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    It's likely not that much compared to all the free shit, and looks fairly common for the AAA collector shit especially Ubisoft stuff. The price looks fucking stupid though but well they know it won't impact their sales much if at all seeing as how most AAA games consumers are already buying $70...

    That's 1k in US dollars right? That's kinda the expected price especially nowadays with how expensive everything is. But yeah you could get a better PC for that price, not in that size though. I think it kinda just got fucked with the release timing, although even without it I think they were...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'll also add that the MSQ doesn't end until September 8th when they add part 2 and Beastmaster, so if you only plan on playing once before the expansion you might want to delay that to later as you won't be able to catch up on the entire story. Might benefit from a 4 days free resub event to...

    Na I got mine before I even touched any expedition questline in maps, in fact more than one, it's just RNG. They do spawn more often in expedition maps with big expedition though so you just keep doing some of these and should eventually get one.

    You're not forced to do Sekhemas, but the Chaos trials are higher level so you have to ascend later if you do these instead. As long as you're ranged with strong damage, Sekhemas isn't that bad if you get some honor resist relics ready before you run. And yeah ES helps a lot too. Ultimately...

    Right probably a good amount of that too. It's all Sony games though isn't it? I wonder how much is suits pushing this stuff because it's good for the image or whatever fuckery. It has to be a company thing for it to be like this isn't it?

    Is it though? This is a very handpicked selection of games, some being several years old (2020 for TLoU2, 2022 for Horizon), when you have about ~150 AA and AAA games releasing a year from a quick google(specifically excluding indies because it would skew the numbers way further). So 4 titles...

    Chronomancer barely has any damage and Stormweaver is old and fairly powercrept plus somewhat niche due to element/ailment focus, with Bloodmage also nerfed and Infernalist being somewhat quirky, it makes some sense. A lot of alt qualities aren't very interesting, but that doesn't mean they're...

    If you don't have the trap it's not super useful no. The main command skill can be used to spam to get Archon procs/stack Puppet, but you can do that with an Arsonist too. The passive skill is more for non minion djinns to get extra dmg/exposure. Best is to either replace it with Navira for the...

    When I did the expedition questline in maps, I unlocked additional recipes, but I also hadn't seen a remnant where I couldn't use it so not sure if it was just the unique upgrade thing for higher tier items or what. But there is some additional recipes other than the questlines in act 1-4, if...

    Plant druid/lich got nerfed some so not sure they'll nerf it again significantly(in 0.3 thunderstorm could permanently shock). There's a lot of very strong builds currently that do well in the campaign and well with low budget and can still scale very high with good budget. I'd expect monkey...

    Guess they're gonna have to change delirium again cause streamers figured the portals always spawn close to you now, so what you can do on maps with delirium is skip the mirror at the start, just do your map, then once you find the boss checkpoint, go back to the entrance, spawn the mirror, wait...

    Shaders compiling maybe? If you press F1 you can bring up the stats stuff, if your shaders bar is full with a high number, your CPU is going to get used hard and will cause issues. The game will usually compile shaders every new region during loadings and stuff so it's not so bad but if you...

    What they mentionned was more like "You died to a 8400 physical hit. Your 36 armor reduced the damage by 0.02%, your 3000 evasion failed to evade with 4% chance and you had 0% physical reduction or conversion" kind of thing, which should be kinda useful. If they can snapshot like the last second...

    He drops uniques, but for some reason Neversink's filter was filtering them all in strict/super strict or whatever, even though a couple a worth more than 1ex, I turned off the filter and grabbed them off the ground and they sold for 1-3ex quickly, nothing crazy though. The spear is 15div too...

    Na just one socket, the shard is "socket bound" meaning you can't remove it once it's in there, and yeah it makes the item annointable normally. There's also 4 uniques that can roll it but these are very build dependant, like the cull gloves. There's also double annoint amulets but these cost a...

    They have an extra large radius now, but might not be enough no idea. There's also multiple ways to get additional annoints, notably any of the delirium uniques or if you're feeling rich a Raven shard can be used to put an annoint on any helm(the socket is dead though).

    Surgeon is actually the only one that does anything worthwile at T4, because you can use it twice in a row instead of only once, so you can get 2 limbs. The wiki has all the stats, most are minor +5/10% of whatever they were doing so it's whatever.
