    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I don't have it, if I did yeah sure I'd play it, but the question is whether I want to buy it or not. Part 2 doesn't seem like it's that close though, or maybe they're just keeping the news down to not conflict with XVI release.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Oh I could see that, as a console kid from the NES days, I like using gamepads, as long as it doesn't involve aiming precisely and quickly at stuff. I basically switched mostly to PC around the Playstation 2 days so I never really got used to playing stuff like FPS with a pad, just more...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    While I agree with disliking the exclusive shit, I just played it on PS5, this gen actually doesn't feel like a massive downgrade over PC anymore(SSD being for me the big difference, loading times were so shit in previous gens), still don't have mods and stuff but it's fine for this type of...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    40K is only loosely related to Warhammer Fantasy. There's no direct "this is the same world in the future", and it's more like a take on a scifi futuristic fantasy mix. Some races are the more or less the same and some are just new/very different. For example Orks are very much just like Orcs...

    Path of Exile

    The statue thing looks like a secondary skill more than a primary. Basically a "damage cooldown" which is very common in other games but surprisingly lacking in poe, equivalent is stuff like Plague Bearer where it just charges up as you use other stuff, and then you pop it when you need higher...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Yeah queues is a big thing, VT2 launch was horrible if you wanted to play Kerillian, and a bit later Sienna once the shotgun staff stuff started becoming meta. Didn't have too much trouble with the 3 others but this not having set characters kinda fixes the problem so it's pretty nice.

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    Well it is a pretty big deck so yeah you'd need both hands. It is a large solid black deck after all. Gets pretty hot when it's in action too but there's some fans to blow your deck and make it nice and cool. The great thing about this deck is you can play with it in a lot of different ways, you...

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    I mean all it takes is clicking a button on Steam and then afking a stream so might as well, even if you don't need one can always resell. The odds of winning are obviously complete shit but doesn't cost anything to try, don't even have to register on some external site or submit personnal info...

    Path of Exile

    The few skills that got Vaal versions might actually be buffed somewhat indirectly too. Vaal Cleave looks pretty fucking good. Strike skills also got major buffs by them putting splash on the tree and strike +1 as a mastery. Still Strike skills but better than nothing which is what happens most...

    Oh that's good, 8 is plenty to save up and play at once, even half that would probably have been fine, just the idea of having to stop and do a "map" for every map you ran sounded fucking annoying.

    Path of Exile

    Hmm top posts on reddit complaining about the league mechanic forcing you to do them 1 at a time as you encounter them versus just letting you stack a few runs to play a full sanctm at once instead so it's not super fragmented gameplay, and hard to disagree with it the way it was presented...

    Lost Ark Online

    Brelshaza is giant space lady stuff, the stuff that was hyped about Lost Ark raids pre-release and the "sequel" to the best dungeon you play during the leveling bit/early abyss. Granted it's still a fair bit behind but not that much.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Along with them going live with a bunch of missing stuff, their balancing being weird as shit/bad until it gets good(and then until it gets bad again depending on your luck) is pretty consistent with what was going on with VT2 too. There was a running gag about Kerillian Waystalker nerfs in...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This isn't was gaslighting is though? Like many things nowadays it's being misused I guess but it'd often be the opposite. Usually it's someone in the wrong applying pressure on the other person to get them to admit/think that they're in the wrong instead, which then would result in the first...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Seems unlikely to change, this is generally how this type of game works when they add an biome that fit into a world rather than be added to the "side" or whatever. If you have revealed all the map then you're basically fucked but if you left some parts unexplored you can generate the new biome...

    Path of Exile

    Well not having to chill is pretty nice. It's not just temp chains either, Enfeeble getting the same treatment means you can reduce the damage they do a fair amount especially since they're buffing it on top of making it not suck on bosses to begin with. It's currently 15%less dmg but I guess...

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

    I mean you can google youtube videos and pictures there's quite a few models of cases like that, I was mostly looking at a simple one like the Thermaltake P3 which is basically just a normal case but only with the back plate and the front glass, with all the other faces removed. That or a more...

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

    Depends on the shops I'd say, some sell the service directly, some only sell it as an addon when you buy a full PC like extended warranties and stuff. In the later it's usually cheaper/comes with a free OS installation but does force you to buy from only one shop. That said depending on what...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I'll likely restart for it and make a build I haven't really done too much, I don't really like playing NG+ stuff, but yeah otherwise you'd want NG+, maybe NG++ at most as the difficulty is likely to be a lot more brutal in the DLC and NG+ scaling tends to fuck with shit.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I think at release some configs had issues, I believe it was fixed by a fan patch, and later fixed by the official patches? But no idea, I didn't have the issue when I played so that's as far as I looked into it.

    If the fucks making motherboards and cases could get their shit together and standardize a bunch of the shit in there like the fucking I/O panel, power cable connector positions and the stupid ass power/reset/led/hdd connectors I think assembling PCs could even be simpler and less annoying than...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Cata is also cleared true solo without bots at all, just need to be very very good(and only certain classes). Bots work fine on lower difficulties though, even legendary without being a god. They will fuck up some things consistently, but knowing what they fuck up lets you play around it. They...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Well if you weren't there for VT2 launch or don't remember, the game was basically in beta for about 2-3months after "launch". And while you could have hoped they'd have learned, I personally had no expectations which is partly why I wasn't looking into this just yet. Later down the road when...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I have no idea what they're going to do with a fairly obscure and limited IP like that, and I don't know if I'd consider Gearbox able to make a good game like Risk of Rain devs did, but eh it's their money I guess.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I think it's more like Vermintide back when Kerillian had infinite ammo and you also had a ranged Sienna in the party kind of thing. You have 2 people more or less meleeing full time to control the flow of trash and hordes who switch to ranged to take out elites(Orgryn is a given for that), and...

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

    Yeah I think buying at this point with the AMD cards coming out is a bit of a waste. Also Nvidia sending mails to people they have cards to sell means they might not be selling so well to begin with, usually they'd have shit to sell, priority verified VIP gold member big dick system aside.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Are the NPCs all immune to status in this duelling thing? I haven't watched most of them but the few I did there's one guy spamming some status shit and it never sticks. Like Patches was spamming scarlet rot cloud but it never worked, in another someone was spamming poison clouds constantly and...

    Hmm from the FAQ those golems jewels might actually be realistically farmable now, cautiously optimistic about that, one of my big issue with golem builds was the gear gating right at the start of a league which was annoying as fuck, if they made them decently farmable then that'd be a big...

    Path of Exile

    The golem jewel snip is a bit weird, they said they're adding deterministic ways to get them but not vendor recipe. Technically currently there's already a deterministic way to get them, that's farming golem bosses in certain maps for primordial cards. The drop rate is just absolute garbage so...

    JRPGs

    There's a video that explains all the changes in a review and there were quite a lot of changes to make it less shitty than it used to, by reducing the amount of stupid grinding you need for example and adding endgame content and what not.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They added vendors to the main cities too for poetics stuff so it's easier to find them. They have a special icon on the minimap, for example ARR you can buy from the Limsa vendor who's next to the main aetheryte plaza. They changed it along how you buy some of the stuff so it's less confusing...

    I wasn't even aware this "released". Kinda stopped looking at the info years ago as it got stuck in permanent alpha/beta state, but apparently at some point it was deemed appropriate to release, and clearly it wasn't. Luckily I was also done with Kickstarters already at that point, or I just...

    Terraria

    Yeah you do dig a bit to farm ores, but it's not like you go on a full blind exploration. And especially in Calamity when they spawn ores and shit in post moon lord, you're just mindlessly mining down huge parts of the map in a couple of minutes due to endgame pickaxes+all buffs(and that's not...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Actually that's when you get similar gear, but it'll easily carry you until 55 or even all the way to 60. Just equip any better piece you find doing the dungeons during Heavensward because no reason not to, but you don't really farm gear past that while leveling, especially if you're not playing...

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

    Does depend a bit on what you play though. I'm content with 4k60 personally but I rarely ever play anything that'd warrant having more than 60FPS in general. Would be nice to have I guess but I'm not spending 3k to buy a new GFX+new monitor just for that, and I could downgrade to 1440p for...

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

    I do the same, I usually update every now and then, when I'm inbetween games so there's no fuckery with what I'm playing at the moment. Since I don't buy games right when they release that often, having the lastest drivers usually doesn't do much for me.
