It was definitely one of the funnier hacking incidents I’ve seen in a game.

Video is way off base. The game’s map is based off maps from the TTRPG, so they were going for accuracy to the source material. Also, having a smaller, denser map doesn’t necessarily equate to more story/gameplay. You still need writers and programmers to do their thing, even if the artists don’t need to make as many assets.

Also, fast travel was in the game since launch. Sure, you had to unlock each fast travel point, but that’s pretty standard in open world games.

Personally, I liked Night city as it was. It’s probably one of my favorite game worlds to exist in. More often than not, I found myself hopping on my bike and riding to my next destination while listening to the radio, rather than fast traveling. Screw cars though, lane splitting is much faster.

One streamer dropped over $100k on Diablo Immortal when it released. His gear was leveled so high, he couldn’t match against anyone else in pvp.

In a similar vein, the corporate language for “Fuck you!” is “Ok, great!”.

I remember getting punished by trying to use the Descent 1 cheat codes in Descent 2.

My company used to staff in-house help desk, about 90% of which worked remotely full-time. They were outsourced, and a few months later, covid hit. Guess who didn’t have a functioning help desk (due to the contractor using crowded call centers) during a time when we were scrambling to get as many people as possible working remotely? I know hindsight is 20/20, but that was a pretty big facepalm.

It’s a copypasta.

I was hoping EA would greenlight the overhaul project, as I also really liked the flight and combat. I understand why they didn’t, but it still sucks to see this.

And what do you know… it just went on sale. Thanks for the info, I just picked it up.

My favorite is the original Final Fantasy Tactics, hands down. I also liked XCOM 1, Advance Wars, Ogre Battle 64, Unicorn Overlord, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, and probably a few others I can’t think of right now.

I’ve had my eye on Tactics Ogre Reborn for a while now, but haven’t bought yet since it seemingly won’t go below 50% off, and the reviews say some of the later missions are pretty stacked against you, forcing you to play a certain way. Thoughts on this?

So, the article is about gacha MMOs, but then doesn’t list any? Of the games it references, Honkai Star Rail isn’t a MMO, and World of Warcraft isn’t a gacha game.

I can’t help but be excited for this. Here’s hoping it gets ported to pc eventually.

Looks good, but I’m not looking to pick up a new game right now. I wishlisted it, though.

I would be 100% ok with it being on the same level as the first, just with a different story, characters, etc. Hell, they could reuse 90% of the city as well.

That’s wild. Eve Online is probably the most interesting game i would never want to play. Some of the stories that come out of this game and its community are something else.

She could communicate with the knight like this.

In all seriousness, maybe it could be part stealth game, where she breaks out of her confines and sneaks around the dragon’s lair to do various things, only to make it back in time to avoid being found out.

A bit more whimsical, but maybe she’s a Disney princess, and can communicate with birds and such to relay vague messages to her would-be rescuer. She could use the animals to distract or sabotage the dragon’s minions and make the knight’s journey easier.

She could have magical abilities, which you could then take in all sorts of directions.

That’s certainly a thing in Minecraft, depending on plugins installed.

The best defense is a good offense. Enemies can’t hurt you if they’re dead.

The other side of that coin is dead dps is no dps. If you can’t survive, you need to learn mechanics and/or adjust your build so you can survive better.

Keeping both of these lines of thought in mind, offense usually wins out over defense because killing faster results in more enemies dying, faster clear times, and bigger numbers, which most people tend to prefer. Defensive stats/skills lose value when they’re not being used, where offensive stats/skills always have value.

So I’m completely out of the loop and the article wasn’t clear on why there’s apparently a mad rush to transfer servers. New update? New servers? Anyone in the know?
