    Donald Glover Says ‘Lando’ Film Still Lives and Will ‘Bring Fun’ Back to the ‘Star Wars’ Franchise
  • I thought the Lando movie would involve old Lando (Billy Dee) after TROS, since they heavily implied at the end of TROS that he and the black girl (can't remember her name at all) were going to look for something.

    But I'm good with Glover playing another major Lando role, he absolutely nailed it in Solo.

    Microsoft Layoffs Hit Call of Duty Warzone Mobile, Which ‘Didn't Hit as Big as Hoped’
  • Not sure why companies try to push mobile games like that so fucking hard. Just because everyone has a phone doesn't mean everyone wants to play games on them.

    Also doesn't help that practically all mobile games like that are created with the intention to focus on microtransactions and grindy paywalled and timegated content.

    Can't say anything of value was lost with sacking studios/devs for this kind of crap. It would only be better if it were the higher-ups coming up with this garbage for once.

    People seem to really dislike Destiny 2. Why haven't they ended it yet?
  • They also deleted all my progress at some point because apparently I forgot to do some kind of transfer back when they merged with Blizzard or something. Maybe that's partially my fault but I could never recall that I was informed to do so, and I hadn't played in a long time.

    I tried to get back into the game a while ago, but the story is such an incredible mess and hardly makes any sense being thrown from one place to another with very little information, as a new or returning player you'd have no clue where to go and what to do and what is actual new and relevant content and not. It's incredibly difficult to get a grasp of the game if you haven't been keeping up.

    Where are the improvements in AAA games?
  • I really hope they make a sequel game, or maybe a similar game based on a different character that would allow for a bit of a wider range of gameplay. But I wouldn't mind if they kept going with Kay, she's a likeable protagonist to me and I just love Nix.

    Have to say I ran into very few bugs and I wrapped up the main story and loads of extras after about 45 hours. Funnily I ran into only one bug after finishing the main story, getting stuck in ingame cutscene-camera that prevented me from doing anything else, including being able to reload the game lol.

    There's definitely been some minor goofy and janky stuff throughout the game, but nothing that ended up gamebreaking. I think the most un-finished part of the game that I wish they'd fixed up before launch is the lipsync issues. It just looks so bad in some scenes and takes away from the otherwise great immersive experience.

    Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread
  • I have zero interest in paying for lootboxes or other gambling crap paid with real money in games.

    But games like Lost Ark were banned in The Netherlands and it took me a while to figure out why it didn't show in my Steam store.

    I wish there were other means instead of just outright banning games from stores (like Diablo Immortal for mobile also isn't available in The Netherlands). It didn't take me much to get around the ban and install Lost Ark anyway, so I figured if I can do that, then what's stopping people with gambling problems from doing the same as well.

    Also it seems wildly inconsistent when games are and aren't allowed for us to download. Why should I be limited to the regulated games accessible because of other people's gambling addictions? Feels like half the Steam library could be Thanos-snapped if it were just for lootboxes and transactions being present in games.

    Where are the improvements in AAA games?
  • Outlaws doesn't really feel like either.

    It has elements like both, but it doesn't do exploration towers that unlock areas. It feels more like a third option between the two, which makes most sense because it comes from the devs that did both The Division and Avatar.

    I enjoyed Outlaws open world gameplay, even though it doesn't bring anything new to the table. It was still an enjoyable experience that felt like discovering the worlds on your own, instead of being guided and follow a checklist of stuff to do, despite having a list to get upgrades and do story and missions. It felt a bit more like Rockstar style open-world, where you just go about your business and run into encounters, instead of going from A to B all the time.

    Palworld faces the difficult choice of whether to become a live-service game or stay buy-to-play, PocketPair’s CEO says
  • It was a fun game for a few hours, but my god it was so fucking overrated. They had a lucky shot hitting the timing on the early access since Pokemon was just another terrible lazy cashgrab job, so practically anything that did even remotely better would get praised into oblivion.

    And like 4 months later only 1% of the amount of peak players still remains. I don't think they'll ever get close to that peak again.

  • If a CEO of a company don't even know what to do you know the product is doomed to fail. They should've had this kind of stuff figured out way at early access launch, or even before that already.

    Flappy Bird returns but now with microtransactions
  • It isn't the original creator? I saw some advertising elsewhere that heavily implied that it was the same guy.

    If it's just some company trying to leech of the success from over a decade ago, including microtransactions, that's beyond pathetic.

    Chemical Agents Warbond
  • I'll give you the grenade pistol hasn't left my side since I got it, just because it's too good to close spawners.

    But I had always been using the slugger as primary, it worked great on bots and bugs. Combined with the laser backpack against bugs I rarely ever needed something else except for heavies.

    Chemical Agents Warbond
  • I found it to be quite easy to rack up enough credits to at least unlock one warbond. And a second didn't took too long either.

    Most stuff has been pretty underwhelming anyway, there are a few good items but most default weapons are a lot better than anything from warbonds.

    Chemical Agents Warbond
  • So did the fire one, dropping the fire nerf just before the fire warbond.

    And the other ones were barely even worth it. I don't think there have been any weapons from any of the warbonds being better than the base game defaults.

    Is it really a buff if it was just a "temporary nerf" so to speak?

    Nightingale's Realms Rebuilt update arrives tomorrow and aims to revive the game with a handcrafted campaign
  • It's an early access game, just finish the game instead of trying to 'revive' it while it remains incomplete.

    A handcrafted campaign (ever seen a non-handcrafted campaign?) seems like something you'd save for a full launch anyway. It would make more sense to me to make sure the rest of the core game is fun and works as intended, then top it off with a campaign at launch.
