Mamoulian War

OpenCritic review aggregation site planning to take a stand against loot boxes. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/10/loot-boxes-in-video-games-will-soon-get-a-review-flag-from-opencritic/

I have all Soulborne games, and DeS is the only one, which I have completed. For some reason I like this game most. I even put big effort to get the Platinum Trophy for this game. I loved it that much Given how horrid getting a few of those achievements are, that's a certain sort of impressive. Hehe, thanks. It took more than 700 deaths to get everything done. Especially the Weapon by Bladestone or how it is called trophy. Pure Bladestone was real pain in the ass to get. But in the end, I got 3 of them :-D

kd-11, nekotekina and few others made specific efforts to make the DeS happen even so early in the RPCS3 development. I just hope someone frome their team will put same effort into making Tales of Vesperia work. I have the game, but I don't want to mod my PS3 to patch the disk with English Translation. So my only hope to play this game, is this emulator, because Namco Bandai hates me, and does not want to translate it :'(

Well, that is the newest strategy of "big boys". First sell the game with some "in-game" currency only, to get more favourable reviews, then introduce real money shop in game later with the patch, with something like "Our research shows us, that loot crates are enjoyed by a big number of players, so we are introducing more options to you, to enhance your experience even more" bull****...

If you really want the game, and are able to wait some time, just wait for some big discount or buy secondhand on console. This practice really needs to die, and giving them full price for this ****, will encourage them to put even more **** in their future games :-/

Well lootboxes are game of chance, the very essence of gambling.

Fully agreed. Microtransactions can sometimes benefit the game, if done properly. Look at League of Legends. But Loot Boxes is the most scummy business practice introduced to gaming ever. The saddest thing is, that Chinese goverńent had to step up, to change how this stuff works in Blizzard games. Here in west responsible people do not care... The only thing we gamers can, is to contact ESRB, PEGI and similar regional rating organizations, and demand, that every game containing loot boxes should get Adult Only rating...

It happened. First game to introduce Ending behind paywall. Or mindless grind. "Allegedly" Shadow of War sunk even deeper than Forza 7... It's Jim Sterling, so for some of you, probably NSFW

Got yesterday the last of the online Trophies for Mortal Kombat X. Win 10 Ranked games. It took me almost 2 hours and 23 matches. Only 4 matches out of them were with people with similary ****ty skill as me. 6 were complete beginners, 3 were like above average and everyone else was just a spammer, who was repeating like 2 or 3 most exploitive moves, who get literally raped with good players all the time, so they need to vent their frustration and beat some old people and toddlers to feel good again... I always loved the game, but I really hate how the game evolved into juggling fest. The first person who launches his opponent into air wins most of the time.

I said that I don't buy season passes. I also said I'm most interested in bigger style expansions like Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir. My answers were the same :-D

Obsidian's DLC survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OEIDLCSurvey1

Don't dare to remove my precious pps!!!

Believe me, it's the same for us EU guys. Whenever I see comma before period, I shake my head :D

My girlfriend was at work today, so I have spent most of the day playing online matches of Mortal Kombat X and collecting some very rare trophies. I have finished all the XL DLC trophies today, including one crazy hard one, where you had to win with Bo'Rai Cho in ranked match and make sure, you do not hit your opponent with 4+ combo... After like 5-8 absolutely humiliating flawless defeats, because I really suck hard with this fighter, Matchmaking finally found someone who sucks at this game as much as I do, and now I am proud owner of Ultra Rare trophy, which was achieved only by 0.1% of MK X owners \o/

What about us Nigerian princes? What about us Fresh Princes? What about the artists formerly known as Princes?Well, I do not think, there are currently many things, which could be offered to TAFKAPs, that they would enjoy in their current state

Well, too late. IIRC, from original Bioware staff, there are like 2 people still working at EA. All others have left long time ago... Correct me if I am wrong.

I play Tales of the Rays and it is pretty solid time waster and the business model is nice. By questing, you can get a lot of premium currency for free. And you can support that way your weapons. A lot of special events where you can done stuff for half the energy. If you enjoyed some older Tales of games, you might enjoy playing with some of the characters comming back.

Nioh Complete Edition announced with all three DLCs. http://www.siliconera.com/2017/09/24/nioh-complete-edition-announced-comes-three-add-dlc-bonuses/ In Japan only for now. Hopefully we will get it in the west soon, too.

2K Games pressures The Sixth Axis web for their NBA 2k18 review (3/10) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeZB8z1vQ2w

Big Business can suck walruss nuts. If the game has DRM, they get no sale. There is enough developers and publishers like CD Project Red, who offer their products DRM-Free, and they are getting my money

We got some interesting leakage in my part of the world http://www.siliconera.com/2017/09/11/shenmue-1-2-pack-listed-ps4-xbox-one-via-european-retailers/ Maybe Shenmue news ;-)

*sighs*

Well, looking at how the AAA gaming design evolved in last few years, the only romance we will have in near future is paying for hookers in GTA VI with microtransactions

Feeling the same. I have fewer games purchased than you this year, but I still have not booted up single 2017 release game So few of free time lately. And today I have just received SMS, that my Yakuza Kiwami arrived to my shop. And like three more games in front of me, which I really want to buy. *inserts some random NOOOOOOO! meme*
