I think KOTOR is the only Star Wars game I have ever played. I don’t really care if this remake ever comes out, but I’d probably play it.

Didn’t know these cards are under $400. AMD really are aggressive in their price strategy.

What’s your issue with Linux compatibility and NVIDIA?

I know the drivers are proprietary and not as good as AMD, but my only issue a year or two ago with a 3080 was VRR with multiple monitors, which is supposed to work now.

I loved 0, but every time I started Kiwami my eyes just glazed over. I played a few hours of Like a Dragon, but didn’t get far. Maybe some day I’ll give it another shot.

For someone who doesn’t really play these, but might like to, it feels like a new Yakuza game comes out every few months, which is just too much.

I haven’t paid attention to a lot of lists, but Veilguard might be the outlier here. The game seems to be really divisive. Yesterday I was in a thread on how for someone Veilguard was the last straw, and they’re giving up on Bioware completely, and here the game is the fifth best of the year.

1. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
2. Astro Bot
3. Black Myth: Wukong
4. Metaphor: ReFantazio
5. Dragon Age: The Veilguard
6. Silent Hill 2
7. Balatro
8. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
9. Helldivers 2
10. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

If it’s not just run speed, but reactions in general, it makes sense, because in previous games, your character moves like they’re in molasses.

I didn’t realize this was set in the Pillars of Eternity universe. I might have to check it out, after I’ve played Pillars 2.

The in-game shop, definitely, but out-of-game promos, I don’t know. Most of the stuff is US or China exclusive anyway, so you don’t know about them outside those countries.

I’d guess these kinds of promos are kind rare , and that’s the reason this one blew up so much. If WoW had something like this every few months, most people probably wouldn’t care anymore, and only those who want to collect everything will pay someone to get the codes.

Like I said, what’s the difference? You had Coca Cola promotions in the past, when the game was still “pure,” according to some. Why couldn’t people with money hoard those TCG codes back in the day? For me, it’s all the same.

I’ll say basically the same thing as two weeks ago, when this exact topic was posted:

I think you’re looking at this through rose-tinted glasses.

Back in the day you also already had Collectors edition mounts and pets, the stuff from Blizzcon (before it was digital), TCG codes, etc. Not much different than these Mountain Dew promos and whatever else you have.

Why is scalping promo codes bad now, but back in the day it didn’t matter?

Since I got basically no experience with DnD or PF, I’ve used build guides for my playthrough, so I’d like to think they were well built.

As I’ve written in another post, the last third of the game was just a complete slog, with overtuned enemies, that took far too long to kill.

Yeah, 220 hours for mine, including the DLC campaign. Game is a buggy mess though and not properly balanced, especially near the end. As long as WotR improves at least those things, I’d be happy.

I wanted to play this game for a while now, but it’s probably gonna take me like two months to get through, and finding that kind of time is tough, with the gazillions of other games, that I also want to check out.

Now, I’ll definitely wait for this patch and maybe a few bug fixes (since it’s Owlcat), to finally get to this one (hopefully next year).

Board game the Chinese players the option to download their account data before shutting down the servers. Whoever did that will (presumably) have the option to upload that data once the services are restored.

Extremely unlikely, Blizzard probably don’t want a bunch of files that have been tempered with. Also, if it’s like the data export you can also do for non-Chinese accounts, it’s just stuff like transaction history, chats, and essentially your profile in a game like Overwatch (match history, stats, etc.).

Afaik neither blizzard or netease saved any of the data. Blizzard didn’t because Chinese players’ data can’t be stored on servers outside of china and netease didn’t because…fuck 'em?

I’ve read the exact opposite. When the servers went down Netease (or Blizzard) announced the accounts would stay and be saved.

I’ve only heard good things and watched a Streamer playing it last year, and I want to play it eventually myself.

While I generally like Souls-like games, I never got into most Fromsoft games, except Elden Ring, so we’ll see how it goes.

Maybe Lies of P or Star Ocean The Second Story R, plus one or two “Survivors-like” (Halls of Torment, Death Must Die).

It also stinks that the first PC version will almost certainly end up being on Epic before steam.

Square is super inconsistent with this stuff, that it’s pretty hard to tell what’s going to be an Epic Exclusive and what’s not. I do hope there’s not going to be a second exclusivity period, before it’s coming to Steam though.

The Trails series (Trails in the Sky and Cold Steel).

Some of the worst villains ever, and you’re constantly getting blue balled. The series keeps introducing new characters, that don’t matter, and just drag things out for hundreds and hundreds of hours.

Zero and Azure are great though, until they connect back to the main story at the end.
