My kingdom for a gem ;_; Read more

The armor is actually pretty good this time around. Very useful for Kulve since it has the highest defense rating of any armor and it has widerange so you can be healing your teammates who are about to die in the river of molten vomit. And the beta set has slots for days. Read more

Kinda makes me think of an over the shoulder river city ransom = ) Read more

I still remember climbing out of bounds with a friend in co-op on Delta Halo in Halo 2. We had to very carefully test which geometry could be traversed and which parts would drop us to our deaths. We spent a couple hours finding areas (say, a normally inaccessible lake) and guessing that we couldn’t get to them before Read more

I’m with you, finding glitches and interesting things to do in games that weren’t intended is always entertaining and fun. I remember floofing all over destiny to find spots I shouldn’t be in.

Ruins the experience for me, personally Read more

oh wow, that’s a little shitty. Nice to see that they could change the localization without altering the context. Big shout out to Clyde for making it possible for me to enjoy Mother 3.

There’s also a Greatsword called Wyvern’s Ignition “Steel” that upgrades to Wyvern’s Ignition “Impact”. Apparently it’s really good. It requires Master Craftsman’s Blueprints to acquire, Read more

The map zoom function was only just implemented, and not very well (that resolution). I’d expect it to get a lot better with the next update. Read more

I suspect the problem is that you’re trying a slower, more cautious pace in a game that doesn’t particularly reward slow and cautious. Read more

It is even worse on mobile, as you have to pinch and pan with two fingers. Hope they fine tune those controls. Read more

Going to chime in with others, having only 1 map or even the 2 was getting boring, having 10 to go against would be awesome, and from what I’ve seen of it, this is definitely a good addition to the mix.

Hell yeah. This is the right take in my opinion. Diversity of maps/modes is what we PUBG players need right now; Miramar is a stark departure from Erangel, and this is a stark deparure from Miramar. Read more

I have dropped dozens of hours into it and am still having a blast, personally. For a game with ‘no content’ I have an almost completely different experience every time I play depending on who I play with and who I run into. Read more

I don’t know—if I didn’t play any of the first 1,885 games in this series do you recommend I start with this one? Read more

I make my guys hold their fire when we encounter ships. I find more joy in the friendly interactions with people, and the initial distrust is always pretty intense. Granted, sometimes it goes straight to all out war, but I want there to be a chance. Read more

I definitely have done some dick moves as a righteous indignation. I came into a game with an in-session player. A 2 man sloop with a guy who was pounding out chests. Our hold was filled with a good 15 chests and skulls and a few explosive barrels. I tried to engage with the player and he was unresponsive. He never Read more
