    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    MCH changes aren't just potency, they're actually quite substantial. First they finally changed the speed burst stuff to a charge based system instead of a timer, so people with shit ping or bad fingers don't lose a ton of potency from missing one shot in wildfire window. Second they gave them...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They're gonna add more shit to catch too so you'll run out of space, I caught a few rares and like the stuff I needed for my lazy weekly setup so I barely have to gather anything and can just use the automated stuff to turn in and was done with that content. Still way easier than rare fishes though.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I haven't played since before that update so can't say for sure but assuming it's the places I'm thinking of, the Caellid one is actually a bit of a bitch to get to, iirc the only way to go there is via the elevator that comes from the Deep Siofra Well. Might be a way to glitch down from normal...

    This is mine, as expected Lost Ark towers over everything else due to the sheer amount of time I spent on it during the first ~3months, but I don't think I'll ever play it again. I didn't dislike it too much but I figured I just really hate raiding nowadays unless I have a clear goal and even...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    From games have very loose "builds". You have stats and they more or less govern what gear you want, but you can respec(not right away, need to kill the "second" boss although depending on how you explore you might kill it out of order) and you can kinda mix and match stuff if you want with...

    New supporter packs: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3333133 Not gonna lie I haven't played in like 6 leagues but I feel tempted to buy some of that stuff, they look really nice and have a lot of additional "pointless" but cool things. Since it's the core pack though there's not...

    Usually they'd start with a big game and end with another but yeah the start has been meh. Might have a big one at the end still though.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I mean the same way I hated Tidus and Vaan/Penelo I guess? Being the protagonist doesn't mean I like the character, I actually hated that there was so much Locke in fact and I was happy to drop him anytime he was there. Ended up hating the phoenix fire cave shit too because it was tied to Locke.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    The game isn't nearly hard enough that you'd need to exclude a character for their skills though. I haven't played since the original on SNES, always feel like I should replay at some point, but I remember clearing the game multiple times when I was a kid and I'd just go for chars I liked...

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

    That's why I put the quotes on free, obviously it wouldn't be free, but if it was close to a release state, it would likely have cost less to release and get money out of the boxes than scrap it then still add a bunch of the things later for free. It likely still was pretty early enough and...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I could see that but I wouldn't want giant balls on my fists, I'd be using the raptor claws and shit like that and these look pretty meh. Mind, I've done a dagger only run so it wouldn't be very different really other than the lack of Reduvia for range options, but it would also be kinda...

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

    They hadn't anounced it, so I don't think it was "nearly finished". It was probably a fair bit away which is why they cut it rather than just finish it and release it for "free" money. They added the stuff they had done later on as patches, especially the one big patch that had new tilesets(the...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Whips are pretty cool but the reason I didn't use them is because the jump attack looked a lot better than everything else, and it felt weird to just do jump attacks. I honestly wouldn't mind if they nerfed every jump attack in the game by like 30% or whatever, the fact you can attack while...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well besides the fact that posting an AI answer isn't particularly a good argument, it's actually saying "intentional use of a bug or a flaw", which is what I was saying? Complexity still has no impact at all in whether something is an exploit, and bugs can be exploited. Exploiting is more about...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Exploits can absolutely be something really dumb and obvious. GW2 launch massive exploit that got a ton of people banned was "buy an item for x gold then vendor it for x+y gold, repeat until billionaire". The level of complexity of the bug/issue doesn't matter, anything that can provide an...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I mean "interface said they could" isn't really a valid excuse, that's what exploits are, by definition they use game mechanics, as opposed to hacks which would involve injecting data and so on. The whole point is you exploit one of these issues(oversight, bad coding and so on) to gain a benefit...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Funny that they fixed Vyke's weapon art in the very last fight and he still lost. Every previous fight he'd just be jumping and doing a normal attack with no additional madness flames and it was actually garbage but he still won these fights and there with both the weapon art fixed and madness...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    More animation work? You can reuse a bunch of animations when you're doing melee combat for a paladin and a warrior/zerker or whatever, same for casting between the various casters, but monk means hand to hand combat which usually is unique animations. That'd be my guess at least.

    Hmm can't access that because I opted out of all data collection I guess. Pretty sure FF7R was last year though? Which means the only thing I played this year was like the later half of The Last Guardian that I finished because it was just sitting there. So like maybe 10hours of that. Definitely...

    Black Desert

    You mean Explorer I guess? Traveller is the basic 10bucks version(which is semi often free), explorer is the one with the white horse. The horse is dogshit, I mean less dogshit than the free quest one but dogshit overall, what you're buying mostly is the Polar Bear pet which is a pretty good...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Seems they'll be porting the pixel remasters to Switch based on ESRB "leaks". Also PS4 but doubt a lot of people care about that one, Switch makes sense though.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    The idle power draw is supposedly something they're gonna fix soon-ish I think one of the other videos said. I don't know(and no one really does) how much DLSS3 will do though, while DLSS is neat it's not really implemented in a lot of games. AMD has their own version of DLSS2(which is very...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    So seems it's basically a 4080 that is smaller but runs a bit hotter/noisier due to fans, has similar performance but worse on raytracing but costs 200$ less. 300$ less and if you don't mind a dip in performance with the XT. I guess that's about what AMD was aiming for, it makes the 4080 look...

    Googling it, it seems they're saying it's ~30hours, can anyone confirm it's not one of these indie 5hours RPG unfinished story thing? I've ran into a few in the past that weren't so bad, but clearly were like "Act 1 of a 4 acts game but who knows if the other acts will ever be released" kind of...

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

    While they're definitely veering into the cunt territory I think not moving past the "Pay to win" line is a big deal for western markets, as going there just gets you a lot of negative press and a lot of people hating on the game instantly, it's just bad publicity. At the very least, you...

    Crafting from scratch in PoE is some of the most arcane bullshit in a game, you need several 3rd party sources to figure out what can be rolled in which slot, and in what order you should use meta crafts to block stuff from being rollable to get about what you want. It also was nerfed pretty...

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    I'm looking forward to boss/mini boss fights against stuff like Carnifexes and Lictors and all that stuff, I was a big fan of Tyranids so I like that for once they didn't go for just another Chaos game or Orks like the first one. Obviously nids are great for this type of game anyway(lots of...

    Well I mean the right version isn't going to be any version before 1.0 when the game actually launches. That or much later once they add expansions and what not. 0.9 is coming early next year with multiplayer(plus I guess a bunch of other shit), then 1.0 will likely follow next summer or so, so...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I was watching streams but it's possible they were Switch streams, although not that likely. It didn't look horrible, but it certainly didn't look like a modern FF, pretty sure it looks worse than FF13 even. Basically like a medium budget game which is kinda what it is. Like if you check any...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Isn't that the whole game though? I only quickly checked a stream but the game looked like ass everywhere. Like you'd expect from a PSP or Vita port or whatever the original was, it's just not a good looking game, so Tifa's body looking bad isn't really different than everything else also...

    Man Vaal Cleave definitely looks good, wasn't sure about duration but 20secs is likely plenty(can probably use increased duration for mapping too, and then switch to whatever dmg support) and it holds 3 charges so you can keep it up a good amount of time against map bosses and stuff.

    I'd say there's a point to MP even for a non-GaS ARPG, a lot of people like playing these games coop. Personally I don't give a shit but I can see why they put some effort into it, people will buy several boxes at once to play with their friends even if it's just the once and if you're not...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    These were kinda prequels though and were released at the same time/before the game so they were more meant as a way to get into the story. Kingsglaive goes a bit on why the war starts right before the introduction in the game, while Brotherhood is about the main characters childhoods. I think I...
