I don't know why I didn't get this notif, but yeah it seems like the Qunari are pushing deep to the extreme side of themselves. The Antaam going rogue because softer voices is quite wild though. I think that generally its to be expected some are going to be more aggressive than anything they can really do but yeah its saddening its turning out this way. I'm not mad though I expect these changes/things.

Think of it this way, the combat capable ones who are also negotiators, were all brain drained to the Ariqun's Ben-Hasserath

The Arishok from Dragon Age II could not and would not even try to fulfill the role of the Ariqun or Arigena, because it's not their role

Sten was considered "corrupted" and to an extent, they were right, yes he would conquer the lands of the Bas, but he's not eager to do so when it could lead to disaster and their anti-magic paranoia got a recent extra justification which wasn't acted upon in the eyes of the majority of the Antaam

Ah that's totally a reason they probably did what they did then I did not think about it that way. Thanks man seriously.

Again, not playing it, but it really does show how much of a threat the Qunari are, especially when united

They're doing this without their priests, negotiators, spies, traders, bureaucrats and engineers and so on and aren't united even whilst they're doing the conquering, sounds like a religious split of sorts

Qunari are quite dangerous, do not want to be opposite of those guys heh. Hell its a reason its considered a feat we beat the Arishok in single combat in DA2

I checked the wiki

It looks like the subtle issues they had for centuries, finally popped up, turns out the Antaam being the guys most likely to go Tal-Vashoth was in part because they got rid of the "softer" voices and disciplined aggression is still aggression

Sten's given up on being Arishok, feels OOC to me, and now works under the Ben-Hasserath's more defensive branch

So much sounds like a waste and OOC

Remember the studio explicitly mention in a news article, almost a good chunk of your decisions in past games wouldn't matter. We'll just ignore Isabella who once stole an artefact that cause dthe needless death of many innocent lives. We will ignore a lot of other stuff as well.

The game is now focusing on a group of teenagers with attitudes. They may not look like one but they have the nature. Solid gameplay as many steam reviewers said. The game is finished and clearly done well but it's combat is pretty stale and the overall writing is pretty cringe.

Taash unable to carry her mom's body to safety despite being a Qunarian and can't even remember the Qun's words.

Lucianis can be summarized as the guy who likes his coffee in a certain fashion and a bisexual disaster!! But that's not me who said it but the writer himself on Twitter. Go check out Fleekazoid's video on Veilguard.

There's so many crap. Mid game ever and I know it will get that Game of the Year award on the fact that it sucks balls.

Again, not playing that crap, even what I saw of the gameplay looks like a downgrade of all the previous games

That said, teenagers isn't the right word. More like East Coast Hipsters that are trust fund kids, if they were teenagers, think of them as "theater kids". It's not the jocks that the nerds needed to watch out for, it was them.

I do not like bullying as a concept but some of them deserves to get bullied. Get some of the old characters mock them or have Taash one-on-one chat with Sten. Get that unit of a Qunarian to sit her down and be a teacher for a few days. She can bitch all she like but she needs to get her head set straight.

I wouldn't even call it bullying, it'd be like telling a bunch of weird spoiled kids to shut the fuck up and get back to work or actually do something, if not, then leave
 
Taash not knowing too much of the Qun is explainable because her mother was a fugitive when she was a baby. And while her mother cares about the Qunari history and culture she seems to not like Qun too much as well. Add Taash not being interested in Qunari history and culture too much and her abrasive and you get a second generation qunari that is more into foreign culture(Rivain) than Qunari culture.
 
Behold, the power of potatoes!


No, really. Just beat Ironman Mode in Mothergunship: Forge, mostly by virtue of a pair of potato cannons.

In Ironman Mode you have 1 HP and no starting bonus. Get hit once and you're done for. Well, I nabbed some armor along the way, but still didn't get hit so the safety net wasn't needed.

Started with a crappy Rapid Blaster that carried me through the first few levels, then I got a Pizza Launcher that helped me through a few more... and a Potato Cannon just before the first boss, and he dropped an item that guaranteed a Legendary item in every Treasure Room and Shop. I grabbed a key and opened a Treasure Room with it... where I found an Epic Potato Cannon (all my other weapons were common) and... the Multishot Legendary. +1 projectiles and a bit of additional spread to all guns. My two potato cannons were aligned to hit practically the same spot, and...

Despite the silly name, the Potato Cannon does the "Max" damage base of 500- I think there's one weapon that does more, but it's super rare, and possibly the Omega weapon I see on the list but haven't unlocked yet. But on top of that, the 'potato' fragments on hit, dealing more damage if the first hit didn't take out the target. With four potatoes hitting the same target, and four sets of fragments... it was a killer combo.

Even those laser bastards went down in like three volleys, and they usually take the better part of thirty seconds even if your DPS is pretty good. The Dragon Boss lost half his health in his first appearance, and only took so long to kill because I pushed him to his third phase before the second phase's Add Summon was over so the third phase's group showed up right after to annoy me.

That's Full Metal Completionist down with Ironman Mode taken care of, I only have the Speedrun (20 minutes in the base mode, failed by 46 seconds on my first attempt) and Gun Collector (get all the parts... luck) and I'll have all the achivements I can get...

...Unless somebody here has a headset and a copy? There's a bunch of co-op achievements too.
 
Oh Nikke

>Commander is alone with Behemoth and Leviathan (two endgame bosses)

>Sure he must have a plan

>"What would Mustang do? ENTERTAINMENTTTTTTOOOOOOOO!"

>Unironically starts dancing and buys like 30 seconds of time

>Rapi fuckin Rider Kicks behemoth in the mouth too

Gutsy bastards lol

Don't forget Fanservice

I'm still weirded out how these phone games can have such interesting settings and storylines at times

Part of why I don't play em, is because I can't help but think of the inevitable decay and because I don't think my credit card being maxed out is worth it, phone will overheat too
 
I downloaded Nikke Goddess of Victory on my iPad Mini

For some reason, it doesn't work and I keep getting a System Error

What am I supposed to do?

Things to look up are:
Do you get anything else in the message (like error number etc) or it's just System Error and nothing else
Check if it's compatible with your system
Check the official discord/reedit if there's actual news about the app being down atm/folks getting the same error in general
If none of the options work, as a longshot try getting taptap and then installing through that rather than the official iPad store?

The doll as in the one that lets you get upgraded? The one modelled after a feisty woman? The one that was kind to the player who would eventually

Raise us once we become a new eldritch entity? That doll.

Tell him to grab a rusted pike, drip that thing in cobra venom and shove it up the foot. That bloody bastard mocked that woman who was a saint!

And now these cocksuckers think they can mock our Waifu?! You tell him Chucky's bitch lover, the same one who voiced Bonnie Swanson of Family guy, is the real thot.


On a side note, guess who just rekindles his love for Prototype? Not me.
 
Oh hey, Portal has RTX version available.

A pretty big jump from the og version lol

I can't play Remnant II anymore, even after verifying the files twice, I can't even start a new game because it just says all the save slots are used up no matter what

To think this all started because I hated grinding and that the game made it near impossible to get much scrap/cash for upgrades



Anybody know any Soulslike Shooter Games that are preferably not just in First Person? I have Immortal Unchained, but the reviews make it very low

Apparently, Space Engineers 2 is going to have a more coherent story. Possibly in the aftermath of a sleeper-ship colonizing a relatively distant section of space, due to being in the year 10,000+.
 
Man, I've been following this for a couple days now but didn't think to post until today. Path of Exile 2 is gonna be coming out in EA next week, and ohhh boy does it look like a doozy. Everything I've seen and heard makes it sound like an objective improvement over PoE 1 in almost every way, although it does seem like it's gonna be noticeably tougher as well to go along with the QoL and UX improvements.

I've listened to veteran playtesters who talked about how rippy even some Act 1 bosses were, because it seems like GGG wants combat to be combat instead of just exploding mobs in one or two hits. If you're gonna play EA make sure you get some regen and defenses because it sounds like we'll need it.

Only real gripes I have from what I've seen is that it looks like we have less flask flexibility now, can't run double life flasks and a quicksilver while leveling which is rough, and maps are apparently now failable, as in if you die in a map, that map is now lost to you and you have to go elsewhere in the Atlas. Not a fan of that, although it does at least keep players from -60% EXPing themselves.

Asmongold made a 2hr react video covering everything from the announcement, and there's also guys like Darth MTX who have playtested earlier this year. Jonathan also did a Q&A as well, linking all 3 below.

It's partly a thanksgiving treat from DE, and partly them trying to hype up Warframe's upcoming 1999 update/expansion, which is itself meant to serve as Darksector's equivalent in the Warframe universe (DE has been putting Darksector references in Warframe since basically the start, but they've never actually made the games canon to each other).
