Great game! Takes a bit of practice at combat but you can really feel the progression. Good story, fun world to explore. Give it a shot before the sequel hits.

Sorry about the lame attempt at humor. My dog Penny is coming to the end of her life and seeing her in pain is tearing my heart out. She is the best friend I have ever had, and I am trying not to lose it while she is still with me. She has been there for the worst times of my life, and she deserves the same from me.

I’m sure you’ve given her a wonderful life. Celebrate the privilege of spending the time with her. I’ll throw a frisbee to my dog Sugar in honor of Penny. She never misses a catch when honoring a fellow pup. Good dog Penny!

I wrote out a giant reply but thought a shorter response is more appropriate here.

Wow, I’m so surprised. :-rollseyes-:

The Elder Scrolls games have been my favorite series of games since Morrowind. By a long shot. What's weird to think about is that with these games taking longer and longer to make, and me being currently in my 50's, the next one could very well end up being my last one.

From almost childlike wonder to the grave in the span of 4 games. There's today's happy thought.

Ya I get it. I’m 52, not yet old but not young, and have found myself thinking of many things in life that way. Not intentionally mind you…it just sort of pops into my head. A bit of an odd stage of life.

Otherside did Underworld Ascendant. I backed their Kickstarter based on the big names in the company and what they were proposing through the campaign (basically a modern remake of Underworld with all kinds of depth, living world, etc). I had faith in those big names. My mistake! The game was nothing like they proposed. It sort of ended up like a bad tech demo of some other game.

Anyway, I learned my lesson. Don’t put your money behind names, put it with production.

Went with a 42 inch LG C2 with my new build. Came from a 24. The only downside I can imagine is my new jaw pain from having my mouth hang open at how beautiful everything looks and plays. If you have the GPU to push it, you won't regret it.

I love so many hot sauces and I'll take all of these. Despite trying the hottest of the hot to the flavor filled mild, if I was stuck on a desert island and had to choose one, its basic Tabasco for me!

Oh no, how did he survive the inhumanity?

Hades is a game I should have no interest in... rogue like, very fast paced, works best with a controller. Just not my kind of game at all. I went ahead and tried it after reading some glowing reviews and it's now in my top 10 of all time, maybe top 5. Ditch the kb/m and go to the controller (this is from a kb/m or die guy) and the game will play so much better for you. The "last" fight will just take a bit of practice and the right combo of weapon and skills. Remember dying isn't all that bad in Hades.

I can't believe I almost missed out on this masterpiece because it ticked all the wrong boxes for me. Looking forward to the next Hades-like.

Bringing the darkness back to Diablo... looks GREAT. We shall see.

I can't wait to play this... in 2022/3 with a generation of graphics cards that does not need 850 watts and burns down the house because of heat problems and because of bad design choices... See you then, CP 2077.

I’ve been planning a 5900x/6800xt new build (still on a 5820k/980ti) but by the time they are in stock, the next generation might be close enough to just wait it out. AMD is going 5nm for that one sooooo

Right there with you Blue. Moved one week ago and have a ton of crap I haven’t seen in years laying around. My wife has approximately 2476 jackets...she wears 3, etc etc. it’s sort of calming to hear everybody that moves pretty much goes through the same process of purging useless junk you’ve somehow accumulated over the years.

RIP-Gunnar-man. It's never easy to lose a member of the family. Take heart in the wonderful life you were able to provide to him.

I'm giving my sweet dog children extra love tonight in his honor.

Looks great so far! I'm hoping the non-shooty side of things has some nice depth to it. From other videos it looks like they're putting real effort into the scavenging/business game play which IMO will keep me wanting more.

Love it!

Jagged Alliance Multiplayer Online Only with pixel arts and pay2win loot crates - WIN!!!

Ugh. UGH I say!

If anybody runs into this, google enableULPS AMD graphics card fix post windows 10 update.

Enjoyed the first but didn't love it. Didn't play the DC. I, like many have said here, thought the loot, itemization system was it's biggest flaw. In general, I'm not a fan of opening the 374th lockbox that you had to fight to get to and find another pair of worn leather gloves, 2 empty cans, and a slice of cheese... over, and over, and over. I know hand placed loot has issues with multiple replays but I'd rather have it in my RPGs.

*"cloth maps or posters or what not. The excitement of waiting for the release. Driving to the mall and buying it. Driving home and opening it."

Hell yeah, the Ultima VI Britannia map was hung from my wall for many years, there was a DOOM level set that came with a sick skull poster that was up there too.

I remember where I used to live, there was a video game rental shop (before Blockbuster and what have you) and they actually rented PC games (with the box). I used to wade through those games like I do with record shopping.

Still one of my favorite games from that era was The Magic Candle, that came with an awesome map as well (and manual).

Here's the map - http://magiccandle.wumple.com/files/mc1/mc1map.jpg It was one of the few games I remember where you actually needed to camp and some could go hunt, some could keep watch over the camp while others rested, etc - and later in the game it was imperative to split up party members for certain quests/tasks.

Just looking at that map and thinking of the Ultima cloth map gets me all tingley inside. I can see myself sitting in front of the computer, late at night, just excited as heck to find out what adventures are waiting in those treacherous lands.

About 5 more years and Elite Dangerous might actually be a game instead of the empty, dead shell of a game I got conned into buying at release.
