    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I'd say it's more "generic" than a souls. If you've played Kingdom of Amalur for example, this kind of stuff. Has standard quests with side quests and all that, less punishing than souls, combat is more action focused. The big selling points is the classes being fun and nice to play with a good...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    One thing I didn't like this video is they let you use items with apparently no "cast time" which sounds cheesy as fuck. In both Souls and Monster Hunter, using a potion/flask will force you to drink it, meaning you can't just heal whenever you want, but in that little video the guy at some...

    So been spending some time at Jade lately since I had agris to burn and I need a flame anyway so figured I'd do both, actually not a bad spot with agris, getting a consistent 1b+ there at 290ap. Anyway finally ran out of agris so decided to go back to giants, only did the one hour a couple weeks...

    Na, it's just ok. In fact they're buffing her today, not massive buffs but some, and also fixing some things with her flows defaulting to T1 addons cause they had no cooldowns(even though they were tied to skills with cooldowns). I'm not a big fan of her, the mobility feels clunky, like it's...

    Main hand, BS main hand gives a ton of monster dmg and kzarka is pretty much super outdated. Buy a tet bs awakening after(probably one of your first purchases), it's a lot of monster dmg over dandelion too and they dropped in value with the change so they're even more affordable. Kutum you will...

    Man Black Shrine can be a real pain in the dick. Today I tried C7 sangoon some more, and as usual could barely kill him before he'd enrage(like 1-3% kind of thing). Tried for like 3hours and just constantly low hp enrages or many bullshit deaths due to desync/bugs and what not and a few fair...

    Black Desert

    Right I know what I meant is they should boost the drops in Elvia Calpheon zones, in general these zones mostly underperform besides Giants, especially Hexe/Troll for their gear req. Hopefully when they get on that monster zone rebalance they talked about they'll look into that, making Distos...

    Black Desert

    Did my first hour at primal giant to see if my new stats were fine, seems at least my DP is now good enough for this place with 363. Didn't really take much damage even playing pretty boldly(facetanking gigagord and shit), it was on awa guardian though so lots of hp regen even if I'm getting hit...

    Black Desert

    Looked somewhat similar to Awakening Drakania who has a fairly unique awakening with the 2 stances that chain off each other and stuff, not exactly the same obviously but there were some similarities, only that instead of 2 stances in the same spec it's just absolute+awakening so the kit is a...

    Global is up with new class. Added to this global patch is free T9 horse or 5 censers(personally I'm gonna pick the censers, I don't need another T9 and making T9 is easier than ever with the buffs to blush leaves from farming and grand prix and stuff), free tet blackstar weapon of your choice...

    Black Desert

    Well I don't think it changes too much unless you decide to switch which char does what since you don't have to buy a ticket anymore(still have to rebuy costumes though if relevant), it does mean every char will have afk horse sprint unlocked from the start though which is pretty fucking...

    Black Desert

    Official one with some story stuff mixed in, live next week globally Overall ball had a lot of existing systems fixes rather than a lot of new stuff. Buffs to existing grind zones to match the gear req, buff to boss rush+new boss rush that uses your own gear(only for 300AP+), buff the guild...

    Can't you just use a tuvala/narchillian? Obviously that's a big drop of DP but you can probably do some elvia spot with that anyway.

    Black Desert

    Yeah it's still there, they nerfed it but still there, HOWEVER they're removing it in 2 weeks(they added it to today's global labs update) for position 1-5, which is basically all the races since they kinda start as soon as you have 5 people so you rarely get more(sometimes 6). Currently it...

    Black Desert

    It's not like, THAT fast either, but queue usually takes a minute, loading+waiting to start ironically might take the longest at like 3mins, and then the race is about 2:30, so overall 6-7mins per race. You need between 2 and 7 races, depending on if you win first place then 1st/2nd place or...

    Light No Fire - Hello Games

    You'd have a point if they hadn't spent the next 5 years releasing free updates to the game adding more and more content. But if you don't want to trust the hype and not preorder the game? Then good, you shouldn't, ever. Just wait until the game releases and see what's in it via streamers/other...

    Light No Fire - Hello Games

    Unlike NMS they have years of making and working NMS as experience now so I doubt they'd make stuff up for promotion(well besides the usual like having the game run on a 5k machine to max out all the effects and still get good framerates and shit like that that everyone does), especially after...

    Monster Hunter Wilds

    You can lock on in MHW(and Rise), although lock on is pretty bad in this series(and also in Dark Souls on a lot of fights, it's a lot easier to dodge properly when not locked). And there's not really any killing a "family of wolves" past like the first 10mins of the game so maybe that's where...

    Monster Hunter Wilds

    Looks like it won't be like either, unless you mean the flow of combat and stuff. Since they didn't really display anything out of the ordinary yet hard to say but unlikely to be like Rise since the whole fast paced combat/movement was specifically the Rise gimmick. This looks open world, so...

    Black Desert

    Yeah I spent on these a while back for the budget set and easily made the money back out of biraghi, it's obviously not very noticeable during weapon phases, but inbetween weapons it's very obvious how much faster you kill with them on than without and that adds up to a fair bit of money every...

    Black Desert

    Well depends on how much, have to remember that species AP only counts for .85(or something like that), so 10 human dmg is effectively 8 normal ap, but yeah if you replace 3 ap under cap with 10human ap then it's still a gain. And yeah it can be high cost, it has some other uses though(pvp, pit...

    Path of Exile

    There is a new curse thing that spawns mobs when you attack the target in the new ascendency things which could help arakaali a lot, granted that means you have to pick that one and it kinda looked pretty meh compared to the other 2 when I gave it a quick look. A lot of the "new" gems seem...

    Black Desert

    Usually that'd be macalods and rebellious since they're mostly just AP. Decimation have 1% back, corrupted have crit dmg, ahkrad speed, you need fang for crit. Macalods are basically only 5.5ap and 1 accuracy and some stamina which is kinda whatever, and rebelious are good AP but nothing...

    Black Desert

    You sure you didn't forget some stuff? It is pretty easy to hit the ap caps in my experience. Like assuming you have done all your setup on garmoth with crystals/food/potions/passives(this one's less obvious need to tick all the passives), if you go to the AP cap page you can also select your...

    Black Desert

    Yeah giants and orcs and all these elvia spots are only good if you have species damage to go over the cap(or well they're much better if you do). Doesn't matter too much during weapon phases but outside you notice it a lot. Giants ap cap is the same as orc even though it's a higher end spot...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    The game publishers can "recall" keys that they identified to have been obtained in illegal ways and Steam is forced to remove access to the games in these cases. Hasn't happened very often though and it's almost always G2A keys or similar sources.

    I played a lot of DFO and they use XIGNcode and honestly couldn't really tell the issues. I have cheat engine and ahk installed(not running obviously) and it never gave me issues about these, couldn't really tell if there was any slowdown cause not much else to compare to, I guess bdo players...

    Path of Exile

    Itemizing corpses for spectres sounds pretty nice. Seems it's only for the new type of monsters but might be a step towards making it so you can stock corpses to redo your spectres when you want and stuff like that. The new spectre types also look pretty dumb, that Hydra spectre looked...

    Path of Exile

    To be fair the teasers haven't really been interesting for a while, unless they go an do a unique rework or some such and start posting a lot of actually new stuff. Most leagues it's like "look at this new div card, it gives you a very rare item with guaranteed double corruption and will likely...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Well I think the idea is you need to kill it before it destroy whatever city it's going for so it makes sense it's kinda just speeding through and you try to stop it, it has no reason to take its time killing random people on the way. Ultimately this looked very gimmicky so hopefully it's a one...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Couple more videos, scripted big boss fight thing, looks a bit like Shadow of the Collossus but likely will just play like Monster Hunter World's Zorah Magdaros with the cannons and shit. Other is story stuff but the sidequest looked pretty neat with the elves.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Bastion isn't a rogue-like though? Not even when you stretch the term to its limits. It's just a story driven action RPG, similar to Zelda and such, no perma death/procedural generation/randomness. Great game don't get me wrong, but like don't know how it makes a top3 in the genre when it's not...

    Yeah saw the lack of nerfs, but they might still nerf next week(to pretend they had a bit more time to gather data, which wouldn't be wrong) or they might nerf once they get to these classes for their phase 2 buffs as a balancing point(you get your dmg back down but eh look you get bigger...

    I'm just selling them atm. While the ap/billion ratio on cups is slightly better than my next 3 upgrades(2x tet disto+duo godr main hand to get 294 ap bracket), there's also the fact I have to equip them on my current shit earrings and then remove them later so feels like a waste since removing...

    The "real gamers" aren't going to start playing a game that requires you grind PvE content for 800hours before you can start being competitive in PvP. If you've been playing for years it's a gradual thing so it kinda works out but otherwise anyone interested in non equalized pvp wouldn't bother...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    I mean, some microtransaction in, at the time, one of the most played game in the world when wow had like what 12m subs, that also likely cost virtually nothing to make, made more money than a game that took 6+ years to make by hundreds of people in a fairly niche genre. That pretty much adds...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The "issue" is if you design a mmo entirely around questing to level up and progress, obviously you're gonna need to actually have some story elements present. Can't have the Souls "quests" where it's some random cloaked deformed weirdo mumbling some incoherent bullshit and you have to guess...

    I feel like I've seen that roadmap before but the details are nice, those dates are not when the content releases but when they release info about the content, all of that is being packed into the 1.0 release. Also I learned that Falconner wasn't like a tradeskill or a pet secondary or a NPC...

    Yeah not too surprising and they did say they'd keep adjusting(including nerfs) during the process unlike what they've been doing before waiting 6months to nerf a little then waiting another 6 months and such. They're also buffing more stuff so I think it's kinda nice what they're doing. The...
