You're forgetting another behemoth: Genshin Impact. I am not an expert or in the field, but I would speculate that the larger companies will simply end of cycle their current games (hearthstone, genshin, etc...) and announce "sequels."

Oof no wonder the D2 reviewer had a hard time on legendary campaign... if you play it with others you have limited deaths and enemy hp increases to an absurd rate, making some boss fights turn into a bad game of hide and seek (any many of those have infinite spawning lowbie enemies so that's a lot less easily done). I'm not sure I'd say it's something everyone has been longing for as there's some badly needed balancing that needs to happen to the other class trees since we've gotten the void update, and some weapons are still pretty unbalanced (no-nevermind things like eriana's vow in gambit).

Was interested, waited for the role out and reviews. Skipping this!
https://www.pcgamer.com/13-hours-in-im-still-waiting-for-outriders-to-get-good/

I'm not sure what game the reviewer was playing, but we are definitely not playing the same Outriders. Complaining about the weapons being similar to any other weapons we've seen in other looter shooters feels disingenuous at best, for if they'd deviated too far from weapons behaving how most players would expect them to people would complain... The comparison to glory kills from Doom is highly inaccurate, as is saying taking cover is somehow instant-death; if you're being swarmed by enemies and you're hiding in cover they're going to act intelligently and try and get you out, which often means snipers waiting for you to poke your head up while the regular grunts throw grenades to get you to move. Lower level guns stink and they're somewhat boring yes, but you can easily find guns that aren't rare that do things like freeze enemies, poison them, explode, give you a shield, and loads of other things. Getting crafting materials isn't that hard since like many other games you can recycle gear for a large portion of your crafting materials, and materials litter the world you just have to go off the beaten path a bit to find them.

I will fully concur with the issues with co-op, as the servers repeatedly crap themselves and is a problem that needs immediate addressing. I am not saying the game doesn't have its problems (the facial distortions during animations is a huge peeve of mine, alongside several other animation related issues) because it definitely does, but either this writer is basing it off the earliest iteration of the demo, or played an entirely different game than everyone else.

Might be an unpopular solution, but my hometown has large populations of Canada geese because of a large series of lakes and rivers close to downtown and proposed using Australian shepherds to herd them to specific lakes/riversides largely because they'd strip all the vegetation and the banks would start eroding rapidly and displaced several native species via being super aggressive and territorial; there was the issue of their feces being everywhere but that felt kind of an aside. This was discarded because herding them was considered inhumane as it might frighten the geese and disrupt their nesting, despite the state department of fish and wildlife finding this to be a fairly inexpensive and safe solution versus hand-moving the eggs and using noise or other means to move the geese.

It felt like a win/win to me as the geese weren't physically harmed, they were still allowed to graze and to nest, vegetation would be allowed to regrow, and native species would be given a chance to claim some of the space the geese displaced them from.

Weirdly, every other major industrial nation has managed to figure out providing healthcare for its citizens.

I guess some people just think we're a dumber nation than Canada or France. Personally, I believe America is a great nation, but I understand others think we're a bottom of the barrel incompetent one. Shame.

Or even for non-citizens. When I studied abroad in Japan I got pretty sick with bronchitis and a secondary infection, Japanese friend showed me how to use my insurance card and walked me through my first doctors visit, when it came time to pay the bill I figured I'd be out 20-30,000 yen (about 2-300 usd), the visit and prescription for the medicine (and the doc even told me she'd give me the highest dose prescription since I was a fair bit fatter (read: slightly overweight) than most Japanese men, whole thing cost me 40 bucks, and doctors still have substantially higher wage in Japan but the gov't helps pay for a fair bit of the expenses. I got a lot of strange looks from all the other exchange students when I acted like won the lottery, they couldn't believe how expensive and byzantine our healthcare system was.

I'd say Phasmophobia is another one to watch. Yes it's a bit cheesy, but in co-op, the game is a blast, and DEFINITELY is rough around the edges (sometimes ghosts can be very difficult to find the last piece of evidence for), but the atmosphere is pretty good at creating tension and the jump scares felt useful not "lol skurred you" kind of nonsense.

I'm getting strong Sine Mora vibes which may or may not be a bad thing. I also did a double-take as I swore it said Squadron 41 and thought someone was putting a thumb in the eye of CIG.

The Washington one I'm kinda ehhh... about unless they'd specifically mentioned salmon. Also same Cutter, crust is often the best part, though cutting sandwiches sometimes makes eating them a lot less messy.

Hmm... that could be annoying; I love Slay the Spire and occasionally I'd have fights I couldn't attack in a meaningful way, usually through bad luck or an enemy ability. Does this happen frequently and is it something akin to having all your attack cards in your discard/in your hand or more like "well, you can't attack... for... reasons?" Appreciate the feedback!

I was happy to get it just for Moons of Madness and Deep Sky Derelicts, been wanting to play both of those. Really like the art style of Deep Sky, that sort of comic-book aesthetic.

Actually for upgrading spending a ton of money is the easier method, where you craft some lower quality guns (I usually make nekomatas), sell them for a profit, buy all the higher quality (purple/orange) materials and upgrade your gear. I have been doing this a fair bit and my most recent save file is at 4.83, so a smidgen worried if this an issue that I'll run into with a bloated save file through crafting.

As much as I love the game and CDPR, I would be pretty hacked off if I was under the impression it would run fine (scaled down graphics, whatever) on my ps4 and crashed all the time or refused to run at all; that I could not get a refund if I bought it at Gamestop (Amazon or Gamestop is all there is for some I would imagine), I would definitely be a lot madder. What I do not understand is the amount of hate being thrown by both sides, those who enjoy it and those that cannot play/frustrated by bugs/hardware/etc. I keep encountering people online that seem very bothered I like the game and enjoy it, and I hopefully try and not engage in the "well it works for me, so clearly it is not an issue" mindset, not sure how successfully.

Is this new, unique to Cyberpunk and the hype it garnered, or a reaction to being burned (or feeling burned, I do not know which at this point) by a company viewed as still fairly loyal to their fans?

Sounds promising Drayth. I'm a bit concerned with the reports of bullet sponginess. When I eventually get to play I was hoping to create an assassin-like character that can take down enemies (preferably) from stealth using silenced handguns, with deadly headshots. When that turns to shit go melee, slow down time and hack em to death with Matrix like moves...Hope that's a thing

That's exactly how I'm playing, and as someone else pointed out, it's very much like Deus Ex:HR. Playing at Hard (2nd highest difficulty), I'm about 25 hours in and I have a stealth/shooter build I'm really enjoying it; even without any skills in melee, from stealth I can definitely one shot most enemy npcs (I actually nearly dropped a boss in one hit from stealth with a katana). The bullet-sponginess really doesn't feel like a thing to me unless I'm shooting center of mass with an assault rifle/submachine gun (and given how heavily modded some npcs are this is NO surprise), but a headshot will usually take off 90% of an npc's health from stealth, and 10-20% (silenced pistol), a revolver or sniper rifle will definitely one shot from stealth and usually the same within combat.

The timed responses thing annoyed me at first but after a few missed ones, I can generally react with the option I want in time and they fit the context really well (reacting to an NPC roughing V up, etc...). I'm running a 1070ti and a 2790 i7, and it looks quite pretty, but I did turn shadows down (and all shadow related settings), as I did with reflections. I still get texture pop with cars (which looks very bizarre, you'll see what looks like a piece of popcorn kinda scoot by on the road before it resolves into a car). Speaking of cars, I rarely if ever use one, since fast travel exists and I honestly have more fun running around looking at the scenery, picking a fight with random npcs, or just exploring.

I have experienced exactly one crash, but there are the random weird graphical bug, usually unselectable items/objects that I should be able to pickup or interact with; I get the fly-away bug randomly as well where I suddenly zoom to a location 200 meters away from where I was. Yeah it definitely has bugs, but after looking at some of the steam reviews (I know, always a mistake), I am wondering if we're playing the same game, I am not sure if people are trolling or genuine, because several of the things I repeatedly hear (bullet sponginess, lack of meaningful choices, or lack of things to interact with), are untrue.

Oh good... They're repeating the LK Pre-patch event mostly intact ; )

Honestly yep they did with one exception, I don't remember getting pvp flagged when I would smack ghouls (this is the main reason people are so angry).

I think the worst I've seen/heard is mostly how it bobbled up a few things like making flight/faster mount speed unavailable but that's honestly it. Most of the gripes are about some specs/classes underperforming due to the removal of corruption, and some issues with tuning as some abilities are being constrained due to stuff not in game yet (conduits, legendary items, etc...).

Yeah the prepatch stuff feels mostly catch-up related gear-wise, though I do enjoy the pure rage people are showing from the ghoul invasions into the main cities (go look at the forums and you'll see what I mean... people are maaaaaad ). Farming the rarespawns in Icecrown is kinda nice since you can setup weakauras to ping you whenever they spawn and you have 2-3 minutes before they actually become active, and then go read or watch something and when you get a ping, kill said rare, and move onto the next.

With the mentioning of Carhartt, I'm surprised no one else wears or mentioned Duluth Trading jeans, as I've been pretty happy with the quality of mine and with the customer service when I get a pair that doesn't fit quite right. The only annoyance I've had with theirs is variation even within a size, and if you have shorter legs like I do (28" inseam) they have to be hemmed. I also tend to prefer painters/carpenters jeans because they always seem to fit a bit baggier, though getting older that kind of happens by default, or maybe I'm still stuck in the 90s because the idea of even slightly tight jeans sends me running to the hills.

Interested to give this a try. If you guys are looking for a nice horizontal shooter Jets and Guns 1 is quite good, has a great sound-track as well. The sequel is... a tad rough mostly because the ship scaling feels kind of weird (your ship is gigantic compared to the first game).

I suspect a lot of it centered around class balance, as several are in need of some severe changes. Shadow/holy priests and shaman are in dire need of a more thorough examination, as there is an immense amount of button bloat, and some decisions that make little sense (damage coefficient for lightning bolt/chain lighting makes them useless atm), and to remain viable (m+/mraid), a fair amount needs to change. No-nevermind how the covenants and conduits are adding a further element of complications, often with some bizarre decisions revolving around multi-spec viability/lack of viability. Either way, I am not at all surprised this happened, and view it as needed breathing space.
