They must be really aiming for a younger market, what with all these youtube videos. I'm too old for this ****, can I have all this in text please?

7 is about the max you can get in the game, no matter what tricks you use. Depending on your class, of course. I've beaten him on the highest difficulty, Legacy of Bhaal, but I have no memory of what I did. Probably a lot of potions and reloads. But yeah, that fight is significantly harder than most of the game, discounting maybe the final boss of Durlag's Tower, which is a save-or-die fest. Luckily you only need to kill Sarevok.

Managed to finish the game. Was quite fun, though you still have to be a good D&D optimizer to play even on normal difficulty. And I swear some enemies have bugged DCs on their abilities... Played as a Trickster. Was quite fun, a bunch of fun stuff to do. Took the special Trickster ending. I'll probably replay the game as some other path, at some point. Maybe Lich, or a goody two-shoes Angel.

It's not. It gets mentioned at some point later.

If you play all the DLCs, you don't need to mine much at all to get all upgrades.

This sounds exactly like me playing Barotrauma with my friends. I'm the submarine's captain, but I have the least idea of what is going on.

That's not that uncommon with games with lots of DLCs. Obviously stupid if the DLCs are never on sale, like in that case.

Playing a bunch of Barotrauma with friends. It's a lot of fun, though at the same time kinda weird how about half the time we get attacked we get huge amounts of water inside the sub. Not for people who don't like crafting mechanics.

https://www.pcgamer.com/blizzard-aims-to-bring-blizzcon-back-in-2023/ With Blizzcon being basically an event for dedicated fans, and with how actively Blizzard has been alienating them recently... good luck with Blizzcon, I guess.

God, you're such bitter old men.

Some quests have a non-violent way and a violent way, but that's pretty much it. The non-linearity comes from which faction you do quests for. You can get pretty far by sucking up to them all though, so it's kinda moot.

https://kotaku.com/activision-blizzard-ceo-bobby-kotick-vote-board-directo-1849093322 Shareholders vote to keep him on, AND voted to approve the company's internal report on the sexual harassment. This is a big thing. If the shareholders vote so, it means they're fine with the company being as it is. Individuals or the a governmental entity might still sue them, but money is the thing that makes big changes, and they're not likely to come.

So Final Fantasy 7 had it's 25 year anniversary two days ago, and they announced 4 new games... well, 2 new games, and 2 new ports of old games. So it's basically a franchise of it's own now. At least they don't use X-2 or XIII-2 naming anymore. But it's all still confusing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compilation_of_Final_Fantasy_VII

I preferred 5 and 6 over 4, so I'm kinda suspicious of people making those arguments...

Did Old World turn out bad? Was kinda interested in it... I'm sure there'll be a new Civ soon too...

Bigger is the absolutely not what those games need.

Though, they did also say you couldn't buy items in immortal, so... (Which is technically true, just very misleading).

Diablo4 in 2023. We'll see what's it like... at least it looks pretty, so it'll probably be worth it to playthrough the story once.

Microsoft showing off they've bought Kojima, no need to show an actual game.
