Just saying.

Playing on hard and at Anslog's Compass, he generally dies a lot. The 47 deflection with a shield doesn't seem to matter much. The skeleton invocation is useful for distractions and getting the flanked status on enemies but the general chant buffs so far are pretty underwhelming.

I'd happily set light to my own stake and say PS:T is a **** game but a decent story.

Haha.

I'm actually looking forward to Angry Joe's thoughts on the product. Most have him down as a pleb reviewer but it's pretty clear he's passionate about his hobby at least. And he's been really enthusiastic on previous looks at PoE.

Buy that man a vodka.

This sort of thread is probably best at least a couple of weeks from now rather than on launch day when the entire dev team is most likely sighing in unison relief so hard they can spare air-con costs for a day.

I thought those were extinct. Or sealed away in old Dreamcasts.

Oh woe to be a fan of the Souls and Baldur's Gate games. Woe to own both a PC and PS4. Woe to have limited time to spend on games. Welcome to the Starship **** My Life

There's obviously still some overlap because they're both still, ya know, games. And from all accounts Bloodborne is fantastic.

I want to see tittays.

Being a fan of the Souls games since the original Demon's release, this week will probably result in me being ripped apart by mental hype.

Now we just need a date when backers will get their CD keys.

Not sure why people keep saying that. I'd rather that Obsidian take the CD Projekt solution to release dates: "When it's done." Obsidian does great work, but they always have some problems with QC when they get backed into a corner. KoTOR2, FO:NV both awesome games, both of which suffered from serious bugs because they were rushed. I don't want PoE to suffer the same fate. Kind of moot now the date's been announced but I wanted a date to make me feel more secure the game wouldn't be pushed back again. Only giving a yearly quarter as a release date when you're in that very release quarter was a bit worrying.

I was kind of hoping we'd get a more solid release date by Christmas than Q1.

Cheers guys.

Apologies if this has been stated already in the news updates but when will backers receive a key to get the game on Steam? Since it's up for sale on there now.

I've always struggled getting into the Elder Scrolls games. Level scaling is dreadful and the general population in Oblivion and Skyrim are as interesting as guano on a cliff. Certain quests stand out like the magical painting and invisible village in Oblivion solely because everything else is so trite. I'd have loved to have played Morrowind when it first came out. Before it became one of the worst aged games of all time.

A character who's cursed to be a different gender on particular days of the week would be a laugh. Especially if they can't remember what gender they originally were.

A vid from World in Conflict has already been posted but It's worth advertising some of the promo videos that were done for it and the expansion that never actually made it into the games for some reason. Then there's the classic Shogun: TW Ninja fail videos.

I finished The Banner Saga yesterday. It was rather good.

What drove you to kill ol' Rags? Dishonoured is definitely one of the best new IP's of last gen and will probably end up being a much better Thief game than the new Thief reboot. One of the few games I've bothered to put the time into in order to Platinum along with Dark Souls. DLC is great but Billie Lurk suffers from being tacked on. She should have been featured in the main game since one DLC is far too short to give a ****. She was in a house being freaky so I backstabbed her to avoid a possible jump scare. Paranoia trumps game design.
