  1. Only game I can think of that gave me this was The Witness.
  2. And I just did. Darkenss: AOE materia that deals non elemental damage that ignores defense at the cost of some HP. Paired with Curaga and Air Drain, an HP leach ability with i-frames. I could see myself riding the rest of the game with these. Darkness makes most encounters 5 seconds or less. Especially now with an accessory to push past the 9,999 damage limit. And the way this game works, you get HP back when you win without being hit. I one shotted Bahumut. And people said FFXVI was easy…
  3. Blizzard's cancelled survival game, Odyssey, reportedly killed due to its engine WWW.VG247.COM With the cancellation of Blizzard's Odyssey, we seemingly missed out on a good survival game that died because of its e… UE5 (or 4) isn't some magic bullet for open world games either. We've seen enough poor examples to know better. Also, piling further on: I think any gaming company that makes 'secret sauce' the crux of their project pitch suffers from a management problem.
  4. lol, the last thing I'd want to do is defend Microsoft or Activision Blizzard for their bad decisions. Or for this 'need' to gut their development teams post-buy out. This Blizzard news is like if Arkane Austin was shut down before releasing Redfall. The rank and file workers wouldn't be the ones to blame.
  5. A RTS wouldn’t have taken 6 years to make bud. At least not with a appropriately sized team dedicated to it. And it’s hard to imagine an RTS today being cancelled in part due to engine troubles. This whole team apparently got axed because they couldn’t pull their AAA survival game together. Not that they deserved to be shitcanned as such, but it probably made Microsoft’s decision to hit them hardest simpler, with their appetite to cull. I don’t know if the execs leaving at the same time is any silver lining, but if they failed this team in any substantive way, they are out as well.
  6. Not to take away from the issue at hand, but Blizzard Survival Game sounds as unappealing and not-for-me as it gets. I’m not disappointed it’s gone, but more that they dumped money into it and not a new RTS that we know of.
  7. All the time with bundles. I have a complete-the-set tendency with series where I own some, but not all of them. So if Yakuza 5 shows up in a Humble Choice, I’m buying it. I’ve never tried one of these games before, but I’ve got 0-4 already. Getting other games with it sweetens the deal. There are exceptions. I won’t touch buying anything by Bethesda pre-merger, since they give away everything at some point. I want to at least try more of the games I own this year, with the pixel art thread. Taking a pause on it for the glut of FF things I’ll be getting to the first part of the year.
  8. 25% through all the missions in Crisis Core Reunion. It's fun, but I'm ready to find some broken materia combinations and power through the story.
  9. I've dropped God of War 2018 twice because of this when life got in the way. Some games are harder to get back into than others.
  10. It combines a meme-worthy concept with the longstanding desire of former Pokemon fans to have Pokemon fit the mold of what they'd rather play. On platforms they'd rather play it on. Survival is hot shit right now on PC too. 6 million surprises me little more than 1 million did. It's clear the game is snowballing.
  11. Hogwarts outsold CoD? That's surprising. Hasn't happened since Red Dead 2.
  12. I'm only surprised about the extent of its success. But I always figured a Pokemon parody game could have an audience. Especially one that looked more visually proficient than Pokemon itself.
  13. I did almost everything in roughly half that time. Didn't play the S version though.

  14. Of those I've only played Dragon Quest XI, which is fantastic game. Very traditional, but has a really smart skill tree that makes it feel more modern in a sense. Play with battles with the old school turn based style, it's better that way. It's either a 60 or 90 hour RPG depending on if you want the story to continue... which it's a bit of a conundrum if you're out to finish it.
  15. All that expendable income now that people have given up the thought of owning a home or replacing their car. Or maybe that's just what people tell themselves.
  16. The Resetera thread is pretty hilarious right now. Oh no, a game that parodies Pokemon! It's a bootleg. Someone call the AI police. They must not be old enough to remember when actual pokemon clones came out in the 90's and no one got sued. Nintendo fanboys have a very selective memory about this sort of thing.
  17. Does it? Maybe the lighting was tweaked? The combat breakdown didn't do it any favors, IMO. But it's an RPG, so its more important it holds up hours in than just snap appearances. I would have liked to see the towns and settlements.
  18. Step 1: Port would be console exclusives. Step 2: Watch gamers buy them on their platform of choice that doesn’t support Games Pass. Step 3: …? Step 4: 'Billions' of Games Pass users. What is step 3? That’s the question these articles aren’t answering. Cloud, PC, Consoles each have hurdles Microsoft needs to cross to get there. Much bigger than “stealth marketing” could hope to solve. The only answer I can come to, with what we know, is that CoD on Games Pass becomes a resounding success. People switch en masse from buying CoD to subscribing to CoD, to the point where Games Pass becomes the linchpin of this industry. But that also means that everything else, including the thought processes in these articles, truly wouldn’t matter.
