Now this is something I doubt we’d ever see in western countries. It shouldn’t be surprising with out ingrained video games are in South Korean culture. Still a politician discussing a video game at a meeting let alone the golden pan. Also learned that the devs were Korean. All and all very informative morning for me.…

Well, this is a here we go again scenario. I think this is even more bitter pill to swallow considering their attempts to justify their game revamp on listening to player feedback and how they wanted to play. Like don’t bullshit us, we all know the ‘why’ you did it. We all know a narrative driven story will not be…

I have to completely agree with their decision. It very much is like card packs something I know I’ve sunk a lot of my money into in the past. It’s a risk/reward but you are always attaining something. If cards aren’t considered gambling then this should not be either.

I don’t think it’s short-sightedness, and I don’t think anyone denies the possibility of them exploiting micro-transactions in general. The difference is most people have come to the realization that micro-transactions are now a gaming standard and will be for the long haul, they are just too profitable.

“Although loot boxes that are purchased with in-game currency only go up to Epic tier rewards including gear and Orc followers, instead of the paid currency’s Legendaries, the difference in quality between the two, in practice, isn’t substantially different. And after finishing the game, even with buying a dozen or so…

Solid review, can’t wait for my game to come. Shadow of Mordor remains one of my all time favourite games simply due to the Nemesis system. I whole-heartily agree that the system should have been incorporated in other games that better suit it.

Now I know he is a character actor while I don’t personally watch him the snippets I’ve seen of him playing don’t lend well to the idea that this character has a tendency to cry. The whole macho man Dr Disrespect thing doesn’t lend well to crying.

That Kitty is fantastic on the Red Prince. Spec’d him as the hard-hitting 2h-tank. Summon the cat before or after you start combat and you are able to move huge distances right next to enemies then get your full turn to knock skulls in. Enrage + timewarp (from an elf) + Executioner and I melt through enemies and for…

This weekend is for me to continue my adventures in Divinity: OS2. I am nearing the end of Act 2 and am thoroughly enjoying my time with the game. I am trying to convince one of my more stingy good bud to pick it up aswell so we can play something other than Overwatch when he is on. He is a huge fan of Baldur’s Gate.

He’s not wrong, and that is a shame. Just look at how often you hear about people sending death threats to players. Now picture being the person who was design lead or a dev trying to justify a game mechanic to this person who so eagerly wishes bodily harm upon others.

When I first saw the trailer I was expecting the elevator doors to open pouring out an ocean of blood. lol

Well, I just beat XCOM2: WotC, without spoiling, pro tip don’t skip any cutscenes they’ve added new ones at the end. I enjoyed it far more than the base game but the new classes, Reapers specifically render Sharpshooter basically useless. I am excited for my next mod run through with new classes since mods are now…

It’s obvious that it’s about state laws and international laws, but it is still shady. TB made a valid criticism and offered an alternate option. They match the donations to local charities equal to that which the family would receive. That way they get the profit but local charities get the donations avoiding any…

Right at the bottom of the screen in the video right under “Every purchase $3.50 will be donated to the family.” It says excluding 6 states and the globe yet it is purchasable there except all profit for WB.

My problem with this isn’t that they are making a profit off of this. It’s that they have it in small print that it excludes 6 states and the anywhere outside of the U.S. Yet the large bold print right above that fine print says EVERY purchase of the DLC will give proceeds to the family. It’s clever wording but the…

For myself, it is interesting how much I did not enjoy The Defenders. I finished Daredevil and rushed to finish Iron Fist in time for it. I watched a couple episodes of Jessica Jones and half an episode of Luke Cage. So I can say for a fact they had so little to do with the overall plot. Simple tie-in motivations I…

I was plagued by bugs when the game started and that heavily detracted from my enjoyment of the game. It’s the first ME that I have not finished and I just have no inclination to jump back into it. It doesn’t draw me in.

“Many of our store associates and guests have asked for this.”

They’ve made a couple now, and bleach on its way and now One Piece. I just don’t know, part of me will want to go see it since it’s One Piece. The other half will want to stay far away from it. Fingers crossed they don’t butcher it and actually do a fair adaptation.

I get what you’re trying to point out but that’s not my point. Where I ended last season meant that with the artificial drop it put me a new tier. Essentially what I gather from the article is that even though I was supposed to be around 2000 - 2150 it drops me to 1850ish to make me feel like I am improving while I…
