If someone came up with an original idea in there, they'd probably fire them. 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

marelooke Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 Well, Conan Exiles expansion announced...aaaaand the game's getting a battlepass. No more details known, but given Funcom/Tencent's other products expectations are low. The lead designer immediately being apologetic after announcing it also says a lot, I'd say. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. 5

Hurlshort Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) I'm nervous about the Battlepass thing for Conan Exiles as well, but I am super jazzed about the content they are adding. Sorcery looks pretty well done for the setting and seems to add a decent travel system to the game outside the map room and suicide. The creative build mode is a big addition for me. I tend to make a mess of my attempts at creating decent fortresses, so it will save me a lot of headache. So yeah, lot's of very good in the announcement and one giant red flag. edit: Conan is the only game I have really embrace the DLC model with too. I buy up those packs with no hesitation, even if it is just cosmetic stuff. So I don't really know what the battlepass means in the long run. Edited June 22, 2022 by Hurlsnot 2

From what I gather the content in the battle pass will be time limited, per the usual FOMO bs, but it would rotate, or something? Kinda unclear to me right now. Regardless, seems hoping for the "least-bad" type of pass where you can complete them at your own pace (supposedly what Halo Infinite does) isn't on the table Edited June 22, 2022 by marelooke 1

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. 2
Chilloutman Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 I hoped MS would finally put him down, too bad, not looks good for D4 I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

It will be the old board/ shareholders approving Kotick (and the investigation into sexual misconduct), not MS. Decent chance he goes when MS does close the deal, fairly sure it was stipulated at the time that him staying on was not a condition of the sale.

BruceVC Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 I watched the 15 minute gameplay video on Starfield and Im confident this is going to be another entertaining and worthy game from the prestigious Bethesda studio. Some take-aways the highly talented and helpful modding community will take the game from fun to superlative as usual the narrative is interesting where you have to explore numerous planets to find artifacts the combat reminds me of ME which I thoroughly enjoyed. The implementation of jetpacks is a nice touch I like the way you can customize your ship the design of having a 1000 planets is great for those like me who enjoy exploring and being rewarded. It was mentioned by Todd that some of the planets will only have mineral resources and some of them will have life. That's exactly what I expect and again its similar to ME where not all the planets have structures or aliens or living creatures I dont particularly care about all the character customizations like hair color but its nice for those who do enjoy those types of mechanics Im not going to give this game a "day 1 purchase for sure " as I will wait for reviews and player feedback but I predict this game will be a huge success And in closing, all the planets really open up the creative side of the modding community so I cant wait to see what mods we get @kanisatha and other people excited about Starfield, its going to be a good game 1 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
