Depends on how many “PC, Playstation, and XBox players” D4 players, also own a Switch. (I’m probably in a pretty small minority, but I’ve never owned any Nintendo console or handheld. Did play a lot of SNES JRPGs back in the day, on a friend’s console, though.)

I can only imagine the hellscape certain gaming forums are right now. (maybe less with the sexy lesbians though, considering the lunatic rant I saw on Steam that used Aloy - along with the Returnal main char - as examples of how “woke” had made all female game characters so repulsively ugly he couldn’t play the games.…

Sounds like the same kind of fun as the previous games, which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, I’m less of a fan of uber-disgusting-gore - the previous games were fine, but this one sounds like it goes beyond my comfort level. Ah, well.

Sounds less like “deck building”, and more like just “put these abilities/bonuses you’ve found into a limited number of slots for them.”  And they just happened to theme the collection of them as cards, instead of magic crystals, computer chips, or whichever.  You’re not drawing random cards and applying them every…

Perhaps because I didn’t play all that long during the second beta, and didn’t read any other peoples’ comments, but I ran an ice sorc. Never even tried lightning, because I’ve always hated that stupid Charged Bolt basic level spell.

Huh, looks like I played 5 of those in their original releases (Seymour, Sephiroth, Human Reaper, Fontaine, and Clayton). I wonder how much that’s contributed to my realization that I just don’t enjoy “boss fights”.

If you don’t desperately need “RTX”, there are options on the AMD side. I replaced my RX 570 8GB (new in 2019 for $175) with an RX 6650xt a couple months ago. For $250 after rebate. Yeah, it won’t do raytracing as well as an Nvidia card, but overall benchmarks at Tom’s Hardware put it a bit below the 3060ti/2080.

Alliance Defending Freedom

Yeah, I never really got in to the “grind lots at ‘endgame’ to perfect your Build” thing. I played Diablo 2 for a long time, but never played through the final difficulty to get to the “end”. Instead, I made alt after alt to try new classes, new builds, etc.   One of the worst parts of Diablo 3 was the way every skill…

Your experience is somehow ruined if a female character is treated as anything but a sex object?

Simulated gambling?  So, like, the Gold Saucer in Final Fantasy 7, the casinos in Fallout New Vegas, playing cards in a saloon in lots of cowboy games, betting on arena fights in a bunch of JRPGs, any of the millions of generic shovelware poker & slots games over the last 4 decades...   oooookay, then.  That seems a…

that the deal is fine, that everything is cool, that Microsoft has made “thoughtful, generous remedies to address regulators’ concerns”. promised him great big sacks of cash

As someone who’s been playing games on PC and console for decades, I’ve got to say that “couch co-op” and “PC” just don’t connect in my head. Hot-seat turn-based games? Sure. Simultaneous co-op on a single PC? Not really.

So Tucker & Co. = a bunch of drunk fratguys.

For PC players, who previously never had access to a dodge,

WTF

Hmm, interesting. I only saw Dying Light trailers, and they seemed more. . . real? Scary, creepy, etc. And just assumed the gore would be the same, since it’s a zombie game in the first place. I hesitate to use the word ‘cartoonish’, but the DI games felt sort of that way? Or more ‘arcadey’? Sorry, I can’t find the…

Hmm, that’s a shame. I enjoyed the earlier Dead Island games, but skipped the Dying Light ones partially because they were too gross/scary/’realistic’. I was ok with the lower-key DI zombies & gore, and have been waiting for this game since the original trailer. But this sounds like I’ll definitely skip it.

Something like that, presumably. I’ve been jokingly calling it No Man’s Skyrim.

Frankly, it was time for an update.
