If you haven't played recently, they fixed a lot of performance issues in a recent patch. It's a lot better currently. It can still get really laggy in the end game, depending on game settings etc. But less than before.

I went to uni with one of the guys who's making it, probably the main designer since it looks just like the stuff he used to do back then. My impression was that he can be pretty inventive when making platformers. So if you like the genre, I'm sure Noita will deliver.

They pretty much said that they're not doing more Battletech. They originally had a bunch of stuff they said they would do if it gets popular, but none of that happened. Can't remember the details or exact wordings, it's been a while.

This is pretty big news, so putting it here as well: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/cyberpunk-2077-refunds/

I didn't mind the cheese wheels in Skyrim, but the (human) skulls everywhere in people's houses was a bit weird...

Never could get into it.

In a single-player game? Wasn't CDProjekt supposed to be the last bastion of the single-player game? Oh well, gotta get on with the times I guess...

I'm kinda disappointed CP is looking like it turned out good. There was so much hype, I was hoping it'd be crap. Nothing like schadenfreude, after all.

I never had that much problems with ME3s ending. My big problem with the game was that most of the individual quest storylines were very much the same as they were in ME2. You went to mostly the same places, and people still had the same problems. So it was just boring.

So, just like Baldur's Gate 2, one of their more popular games?

You had to use the threat/taunt mechanics for that, not positioning as much. I played DA2 on the highest difficulty without using a mage or healing potions. The DLC were a bit tougher, had to use healing potions in those.

Frankly, I don't think you can read anything to it. People change jobs a lot in the game industry. If there was some other info then maybe, but just "this guy left, this guy was hired", not really.

I liked it. I kinda agree about most of the problems people had with it, they just weren't that big of a deal for me.

Dragon Quest is just widely popular and known in Japan, so that might be it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest#Cultural_impact There's even a live-action comedy drama that's basically a Dragon Quest spoof. Can absolutely recommend it, even if you've never played any Dragon Quest games. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yūsha_Yoshihiko

That's how EA's games on Steam work. They launch Origin.

I'm sure it'll be on Steam, just like most of EAs games now... but you'll also need Origin.

I like talent tree -like systems, much more interesting than usual lists. Though, at some point you'll want a 3rd party site where you can plan and check beforehand what to take... Thankfully PoE has that, Grim Dawn too.

And it's -50% on steam.

2. It's the only one that's only available in the older style, officially; there's a fan project that did a VGA version of it.

I've played a bunch of Grim Dawn, and find it kinda ok. I would prefer playing either Diablo 3 (if it had any new content), or Path of Exile (if it wasn't such a huge timesink). Lots of small gripes with it, rather than any huge ones.

Hopefully there'll be a "sell junk" -button, or a junk inventory tab, or something...
