I would like a Splatoon-like game on other platforms (namely PC). I liked the gameplay and aesthetic in Splatoon 2 (haven’t played 3), but was annoyed that Salmon Run was only every other day and I sucked at aiming with joycons/pro controller, so competitive modes weren’t the greatest for me.

I’m currently playing through a FO4 mod run, so sounds like I better finish before this update drops and breaks all the mods.

I agree that Division 1 had a better atmosphere. The snow covering the ruined city gave a bleak and oppressive tone, which was a much better fit for the theme of the game.

There are still people actively playing the game, and the endgame is in a pretty good spot overall imo. I would definitely keep an eye out this holiday season and nab it when it goes on sale. Go get 'em, agent!
Edit: I just checked Steam and it’s currently 70% off.

The Division 3 wasn’t technically announced, it was just mentioned during an investor press release. I wouldn’t expect it to release for at least another 5 years. The Division Heartland is a spin-off PvPvE survival shooter, akin to the Survival mode from The Division 1.

Personally, I’m glad they’re continuing support for Division 2 as the game’s right up my alley as far the kinds of games I like. If they’re putting this kind of TLC into it, then they likely have more content planned than whatever is slated for 2025.

I can only speak for myself, but I completely passed on GTA5 because they took so damn long to bring it to pc, then once it was, the only “sale” they would have on it was when it was bundled with those shark cards.

To add to this, bring back content I paid for. I bought Forsaken and took a break before finishing it, and now it’s gone.

I gave him a dolla

I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’m getting my hopes up.

I couldn’t tell you since I quit WoW 5 years ago, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

No worries, it happens.

As someone who has put countless hours into various MMOs (including FFXIV), I totally get people getting anxious about their characters looks potentially changing. I remember when WoW had their character model update as the feedback from players then. Blizzard resolved the issue by adding a client-side option to toggle between old and new character models.

It is the same model, but the difference is in the horns and scales. Those pics don’t do a very good job of showing it, though. From the paragraphs right above the pics:

Following community feedback after the announcement of the graphical update back at the fan festival event in Las Vegas, he shared an update of the Au Ra race, whose updated horns and scales had been initially revealed as looking very reflective but a little too much like enamel.

“This reflectivity looked very high quality so it was good for showing off, but it didn’t really match our vision of what we wanted the Au Ra to look like from our original design back in 3.0, so we continued tweaking,” Yoshida admitted before sharing a new headshots of a male and female Au Ra where their horns look less reflective and more natural. “This goes for all of the updates for the other races as well. What we showed in Las Vegas wasn’t the final product but a work in progress.”

I’m right there with you. I’m bummed to hear this news, but would much rather wait a year than have it release this year and be hot garbage.

The Epic v Google lawsuit is bringing to light a lot of interesting tidbits of info, so I think it’s just that. It’s an interesting tidbit, but not really relevant to much outside the trial. That said, I do like seeing this kind of info shared, as it gives us a peek behind the curtain of these megacorps’ operations.

I can tell folks here didn’t read the article. These talks were in 2018, when Stadia was still a thing.

Basically, Fortnite is rolling out a new system with user-generated “islands” that can have their own independent rating from the main game. If an island is rated E for everyone or E10+(as opposed to the base game’s rating of T for teen), some of the game’s cosmetics aren’t able to be equipped in those areas. People are upset because 1. they paid for those, and 2. apparently there are inconsistencies between what is allowed and what isn’t.

Last year’s TGA was somewhat exciting because they gave away a bunch of Steam Decks. I normally just see the winners posted the next morning, along with any new game trailers.

As much as I dislike Musk, I want to see his setup. Does he have some crazy custom home theater setup for maximum immersion, or does he just sit on the couch or at a desk like the rest of us?

I played off and on a bit, and purchased Forsaken when I was playing last. I took another break before playing through it all, then they sunset the content. I paid for content that I never got to finish and can no longer play. So yeah, I’m definitely done with Destiny 2 and probably whatever else Bungle puts out.

Go with what you know, I guess. He’s obviously passionate about MMOs.

I remember seeing a lot of criticism on him back in his WoW days. After he left, Blizzard had to hire two people to fill his role, one for PvE and one for PvP. It was amusing to see the general sentiment go from “good riddance!” to “omg please come back! these guys are worse!” over the span of several months.
