    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    Decided to finally try out Xfal's ring for my firewall sorc and holy shit it's fun. Bumped me up a couple tiers of damage on its own and the firewall's constant damage ticks make sure it triggers frequently. It's a cacophony of explosions across the screen, highly recommended

    Yeah, I'm surprised they nerfed the traps while also buffing the warding stones to the point that the Zoltun's warding is trivial. 1:10 ratio was way too much because now I don't give a damn about however many wardings I lose running through a vault. I've crafted hundreds at this point and...

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    There are two realms for characters: Eternal and Seasonal. Seasonal transfers to Eternal when the season is done so, of course, you can't play an Eternal character on the Seasonal realm. Diablo 3 had the Seasonal rebirth which stripped your non-seasonal character of all gear and accumulated...

    It's not underpowered but it takes a LOT to get it going. Think of it more as a snowball going down a slight incline for while before it finally gets up to speed. I'm rolling through WT4 with the admittedly poor-scaling Firewall sorc and all my gear is level 60 except my gloves (level 35, lol)...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    Pending doctor evaluation. That's usually how these things work when you're mentally unstable and shown that you're a threat to others, on top the Macgyver-esque hacking. Not sure what you expect in this situation

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    Do PC players not smoke weed? Or are we still clutching our pearls, stigmatizing something legal for recreational/medical use in 22 states and medical in another 13? And excuse me for laughing at you for being 40 and complaining about a "gangsta rap type of game" whatever the fuck that means.

    Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

    People are doing "floor is lava" S rank runs trying to clear the whole game without landing during missions. Pretty sure someone has beat the game with the Jailbreak AC, too, lol. People are nuts but this is a big part of the franchise's longevity

    No shit. But game engines often scale based off the resolution. Strategy games especially are notable for this but even Diablo 3 offered more viewable area with higher resolution.

    The only patch available is to buy a non-16:9 monitor, unfortunately. I wouldn't expect them to change this at any point in D4's life. I've never played World of Warcraft so I can't comment on that but a quick youtube search should make any differences apparent if you search something like...

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    Yes, it's fixed. It's the only game I know of (or at least only one of the games I play) that doesn't offer more viewable area without changing aspect ratio. Undoubtedly this is due to the console emphasis (I mean, look at the dog shit UI for confirmation) and likely to improve performance...

    3840x1600 is likely the sweet spot but I couldn't fit a 38" monitor. Went from 2560x1440 to 3440x1440 and it looks much closer to how it should but there's still nowhere near enough vertical space to engage ranged enemies above/below you (that doesn't stop them, of course) It blows my fucking...

    Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

    They're doing a really good job at buffing parts across the board with these updates. I haven't played much since the initial 70 hours but it's great seeing lesser used items become much more viable and makes me wish they could have done this with AC1 through Last Raven.

    Sea Spider took more tries than all the rest combined for me but I didn't have cash nor parts on that first encounter for what I wanted to run.

    Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

    Not sure why you're explaining it to me, haha, but yes, you're right. But you cannot make games dumb enough. My time with World of Warships showed how ill-prepared Wargaming was for just how the most basic gameplay concepts were simply over the head of a shockingly large portion of players...

    Tom Clancy's The Division 3

    Heartland looks and plays terribly. The first Division game is still the high water mark for the series in a lot of ways. I think NY is the setting for this franchise and they should go back to it in Div3.

    Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

    If you fail/die you have full access to your garage to change to a more suitable build. You certainly don't have to replay previous missions but that's the main way of earning enough credits to purchase everything so you can build whatever you want or need. Really doesn't take terribly long to...

    Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

    And that may be what it takes to clear him the first time but I promise you'll beat the shit out of him in NG+ and NG++. You'll feel real good about that because you get to see how a more potent build works as you've purchased more parts and/or how much you've improved piloting. This game...

    Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

    Eh, I'd rather see his challenge stay the same (aside from any bug fixes to the fight, of course) and more weapons be buffed to provide a wider variety of builds that can take him on. Hopefully it'll remain a skillcheck for people because, in all honesty, the rest of the fights are a bit easier...

    Probably the complaints about the yearly expansion announcement. Everyone complained about D3 not being live service and now complain about D4 being live service only because they didn't consider that they'd have to pay something extra for that service. Aside from that, the game's population...

    Outside of the boss checkpoints I'm surprised there are any at all in AC6. Between that and the supply Sherpa/refrigerator the game is much, much more forgiving than I expected.

    I'm personally a huge fan of the Joe Swanson build (Hank Hill is a good one, too) In all seriousness, I'm very impressed with what people have pumped out already. Here's hoping to an active mod community that'll add to it

    Skull & Bones

    I can't believe it ran long enough for them to get the footage they needed. It's great if they managed to turn it around even if it looks like it should have been released before 2018. Plus, the bigger the success of the game the more likely we'll get some behind the scenes horror movie on its...

    Asmongold is everything that's wrong with gaming channels on youtube. Managed to beat Balteus on my 7th try but the Smart Sweeper at the end of the first mission of Chapter 2 is absolutely whooping my ass. The way this game encourages changing your build so you can change tactics while...

    Runs flawlessly on my 3070 at 1440p but it's very obviously a previous gen title, not that it matters, or needs to, for this game. I'm just excited to play a real AC game for the first time in nearly two decades. Beyond that, I'm going to bombard the shit out of the screenshot thread in the...

    The fan base was toxic, racist, sexist, etc with or without them unnecessarily parading devs as cannon fodder to a stupid mob of people that can't comprehend that the problem isn't a pair of lesbians despite what their confirmation bias is desperately telling them.

    Immortals of Aveum

    Because it looks like a reskin of Destiny with a fantasy/low-grade steampunk setting. We've also seen all these same in-game cutscenes a thousand times before where someone gets blasted off a ship of some sort and they reach over just in time to grab a rail as every molecule combusts around...

    The monster density is fucking awesome. I'm getting about 400 cinders every 10 minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less. If you really want to rock the hell out of farming helltides then forget the horse and get movement speed on your boots and ammy. The distance between mobs is reduced...

    Played for a few hours, definitely feel the difference on both my 65 Pulverize Druid and my 91 BlizzShards Sorc. Survivability took a hit with the nerf to Disobedience affix but it's not *too* bad but my sorc's crits are roughly 1/7th of what they used to be. I get why they nerfed things but...

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    That's the issue and what I'm worried about the most. Damage is not weighed evenly but vulnerable damage is like lead versus cold damage or something being a feather. Any changes to dramatically uneven damage values need to have something in place to make up for it. To me it aeems they did...
