With the exception of the PS2, there was never a good reason to buy a system at launch instead of waiting at least a few months for more games and better hardware. The PS2 is the notable here because it had full backwards compatibility and was also a DVD player back in the days when they were still fairly expensive…

Yeah. I enjoyed the newer games but they’re missing the sheer weirdness of the originals.

I’m always fascinated by these EVE topics despite having absolutely no interest in playing the game. The idea of it is just so interesting.

Yeah. Divine Dash is one of the best boons you can get. Even though the damage is negligible the deflection is almost passive if you’re dashing constantly (and why aren’t you?)

I seem to recall there being and in game comment about how he only likes pets on the one head.

The church fight is amazing, which is honestly one of the biggest problems with the movie. When the high point is 20 minutes into the movie it can only go downhill from there.

I wish we had more late night cafes and the like a la Europe and parts of Asia frankly, with a focus on quality coffee or other non-alcoholic beverages rather than just mocktails.

Sure, but there are also people who don’t go to bars in the first place specifically because they can’t or don’t want to be around alcohol. “Just don’t drink if you don’t want to” is easy for some people but impossible for others.

You laugh, but it’s actually kind of a brilliant concept. There are a lot of people who don’t drink alcohol but still like the idea of drinking and bars as a social setting.

Kind of. He’s a physical anchor for a primal, in the same way Ysayle and Ryne were summoning Shiva. He’s still at least sort of a person underneath. He’s definitely still an unsundered Ascian, just with extra baggage on top of that.

Shadowbringers as a whole has been an amazingly good expansion. The story, the characters, finally making the Ascians interesting after years of being cartoon villains plotting in the dark, the way the tied together pretty much everything. It’s just incredible.

Sorry, but no. I will read an article. I will NOT click through a slideshow.

There’s always going to be at least somewhat of an endgame grind. That’s how MMOs work.

This is one of the most unreadable clusterfucks of a site I have ever seen. I can’t even tell what I’m looking it.

This is why always laugh at the concept of vanilla servers. Most people don’t actually want vanilla back. They want to be clueless, starstruck newbies again. Classic servers can’t give you that. All they can do is let you run old-school Strat a few times for the nostalgia.

One of the big differences between this and .hack is that the devs here seem to have actual MMO experience. Pretty much every other ‘takes place in an MMO’ story -.hack, SAO, Log Horizon, OSO, etc- feels like it was made by someone who had only heard of MMOs and never actually played one before. CrossCode on the other…

This is cool I guess, but why now? This would have made a lot more sense 12 years ago.

IIRC, a few months back they talked about how working from home was really hard because of the way the test servers and security around them was set up. Most of the development systems were never designed to be accessed from outside the office.
