  2. I think maf posted a trailer for this at some point but I couldn't find a topic, so might have been in the Random News. Got reminded of it through EDGE's current title story (which I haven't read yet). This looks a bit generic, albeit not unappealing at first glance, with its inspirations clearly visible, but the mix is rather fresh I think. Fundamentally it's an action RPG, that much is obvious, but it seems to incorporate some of the BotW-style playfulness with physics and elements into its combat, allowing you, for example, to freeze an enemy's legs to make them immobile and climb on top of them (SotC/Dragon's Dogma style). I've also seen clips where parts of the environment could be destroyed, which all in all promises a bit more physical interactivity during engagements than is usually the case in this genre. From what I understand, but don't quote me on this, this is made by a couple of BioWare alumni, even though it's vastly different from that studio's output. Comes out at the end of the month, and will be on Gamepass.

  3. There's a few games due to drop in January so I thought I'd do a little write up... January Releases... @mmmark has Dynasty Warriors: Origins and Tales of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter. @HandsomeDead has Eternal Strands. @radiofloyd has Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector. Good luck folks.

  4. Just a quick reminder to get your lists in order... I'll be trying to get the results done some time tomorrow. 👍

  5. @shinymcshine so funny enough the thing that won for me was a deck of 30 spade cards, a joker that gave +3 mult for every spade scored, a joker that gave +15 mult if had no discards left (made it good for just discarding any non-spade), a joker that gained x0.01 multiplier for each planet card used (got it up to 3x) and those planet cards levelled up my flush and straight flush to +7 So the game plan was to just discard any non-spade as fast as possible to get flush/straight flush and get rewarded for it. It’s why on the win screen it says I only played flush 12 times because 1 flush hand was over 50k points and beat most rounds with 1 hand So to come back to your question of weighting the deck for the right suite was by using booster packs and arcane packs. Booster was just adding more spades, arcane was deleting non-spade, duplicating spades and the best card that lets you turn any 3 cards in to spades. Basically trying to push for anything that adds, deletes, changes or duplicates. If lucky enough for tarot cards to,appear they can shift/weight the deck in a direction really heavily.

  6. Guild Wars was great until people figured it out and didn't want you to play anything other than the ideal class combinations and skills. Until then it was responsible for some of my most awful scores in school and I still get nostalgic goosebumps when listening to its superb soundtrack. But it's really difficult with lists like these to differentiate between impact, timelessness or temporary excellence, in addition to subjective perspectives and such. I agree with HD that lists with specific outlines that limit themselves are more interesting to look at as a result.

  7. I think Celeste is the only game I'm surprised was there but the rest are very typical normie favourites. The big outlet aggregated g.o.a.t lists are a bit empty of purpose most of the time and having lists with a bit more criteria are more compelling (e.g year, system, genre). Even when I've thought of my own g.o.a.t lists they are hugely driven by my whims in the moment.

  8. I don't think Ubisoft have done anything to deserve sympathy. They've been fucking over their customers since at least From Dust back on the PS3/360. They've been a terrible company for longer than they were ever a good one. A lot of people will lose their jobs, that's obviously a shame, but I won't shed a tear for Ubisoft whichever way this goes

  9. TOTK is a great game but BOTW is an incredible statement of what a game can be. I would always put it above TOTK

  10. It's been a while since I've done this, and there have been a few changes, so here is my somewhat budget limited gaming setup. First off, my living room. I've got a large TV wall mounted. I think it's about 50 inches, but I've had it quite a while, and it does me. Attached to that is an Xbox Series S with a 500GB SSD upgrade and a 1TB external drive for 360 games and the like. Also an Xbox One OG which is kept mainly as a Blu-ray and DVD player now. And yes, that's a working Wii. In my bedroom I have my Playstation 4, but I need to buy a new gamepad for it. Also a Wii U, and my Switch. And finally I got a Man Cave a couple years ago, as my son moved out on his own, and I stole his bedroom. This is where I have my gaming PC. My former PC actually caught fire while I was two hours into a Farcry 5 session about a year ago. Something got hot, and it went up. So this PC is a home build, as all of mine are. It's a core i7 8086K 6 core processor running at 4ghz, boosting to about 5ghz. Graphics are Nvidia RTX 3060. It's on an Asus board, has 16Gb dual channel memory, 1TB M.2 SSD, and about 4TB of old fashioned spinning platter hard drives. Coupled to it is an Huawei 24 inch monitor, a cheap headset, and my Tiny Tina Xbox gamepad. The old PC speakers are there because my daughter hates headphones when she plays, so I dug these out of the cupboard for her. Also there's my softmodded Playstation Vita with a 256GB Micro SD card attached to a Vita2SD card reader. Not pictured is my softmodded Nintendo 3DS XL, and my Powkiddy RGB30.
