The last CE I bought was Breath of the Wild - It’s also one of the few I actually felt was worth it more than five minutes after opening it. Cool Switch carrying case that I actually use anytime I take my Switch somewhere, good soundtrack CD that I really need to get into iTunes one of these days, cloth world map that…

Does Gearbox not own Cataclysm? I assumed they did, since they bought the entire IP.

If they want to broaden their audience, yes they are. Movies do this all the time, either to meet broadcast standards, for showing on airliners (I’m not sure if this is still a thing, honestly), or, in the other direction, unrated versions for private sale. Heck, with Once Upon a Deadpool, they reedited an R-rated…

That’s absurd. Adding in separate difficulties doesn’t affect your playing experience if you choose not to use them. 

As an aside, it never ceases to amaze how bad Kinja is. I can’t log into my Kinja account on my phone’s browser because I linked it to my Google account and that just doesn’t work on mobile and when I use my desktop computer in Firefox, the cursor keeps jumping to the beginning of the text field while I’m typing.

I’ll be honest. All these responses to the effect of ‘maybe this kind of game isn’t for you and anyway there are plenty of other games’ sounds like someone complaining that we don’t need Braille books because maybe blind people should just accept that books aren’t for them.

Fair, but I think a more accurate comparison wouldn’t be to FF XIV, but to Diablo 3. XIV needed to be rebuilt from the ground up, D3 and (from what I’ve heard) Anthem have solid foundations, but need rethinks in their gameplay loops and content.

It’s worth noting, however, that the original FFXIV is a byword for a studio being so caught up in its own mystique that it never even looks at the competition.

I’ll admit, I’m not plugged into the competitive Smash community, but if there’s really this much outcry about Nintendo running a tourney without adopting community rules, it kind of puts the lie to your claim that they don’t care.

Conversely, it seems to me the esports community wants to have their cake and eat it too - they want that sweet, sweet Nintendo money and prestige, but don’t want to play by Nintendo’s preferred rules.

I’m catching back up and am in the early hours of Origins right now, but it seems like the present day stuff is making a comeback. 

I liked AC3, warts and all. Probably helped that it had the most developed present day story arc, which was and still is my favorite part of the series. Connor was a good main character; it’s just too bad so much of his character development was in easily missable side missions instead of the main campaign.

It’s been a while since I played the original, but Lilith was pretty melee focused, wasn’t she? I mean, her Phasewalk was basically a DnD Rogue’s Stealth + Backstab. 

Yeah, I didn’t notice him myself, but I saw the screenshot someone else posted. 

It’s just picking up on BL 2's ending, right?

It’s not like Borderlands’ humor was ever super timely though.

It looks like more Borderlands. Fortunately, that’s pretty much what I wanted.

Well heck. Now I feel obligated to buy Dwarf Fortress despite having no desire to ever play it.

Seems to me (and correct me if this flies in the face of V:TM lore) that an easy way to do it would be through skill trees. Like, if I’m pouring most of my points into physical brawling skills, eventually I reach a point where either I’ve invested enough points or I take a capstone talent and now BOOM! I’m a Brujah…

“What are you?”
