Keyrock Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 The Bard’s Tale 4 announced by inXile. http://www.vg247.com/2015/01/24/the-bards-tale-4-announced-by-inxile-entertainment-at-pax-south/ Another Kickstarter campaign by Fargo. That's pretty cool. I'm assuming it will be a for realsies Bard's Tale rather than the parody game they released a while back (which I kinda liked), right? As for Dying Light, I have to admit this game has me kinda interested after watching some Let's Play videos despite the fact that I'm pretty burned out on zombies. It looks like it might be Dead Island minus the crap that eventually made me hate Dead Island. Plus the whole idea of having to scramble to a safe house before it gets dark or you're totally ****ed seems like it will add much needed tension to the game. I'll be interested to hear how this game does once it releases in a few days. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
dorkboy Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 @Keyrock "As much as I enjoyed our little Bard's Tale comedy romp, Bard's Tale IV is a proper sequel of the trilogy." https://twitter.com/BrianFargo/status/559104052987179008 1 This statement is false.
Leferd Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Never played any of the original Bard's Tales and couldnt really get into the 2004 remake. Wasteland 2 is decent enough but I got bored with it.

GhostofAnakin Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 If you were a PSN user during the period of the attacks in 2011, you're eligible for a part of a class action settlement. There is a proposed settlement with Sony Network Entertainment International LLC ("SNE"), Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC ("SCEA"), and Sony Online Entertainment LLC ("SOE") in a class action lawsuit about the illegal and unauthorized attacks in April 2011 on the computer network systems used to provide the Sony PlayStation Network, Qriocity, and SOE services (the "Intrusions"). Accountholders can get benefits if they had a PlayStation Network ("PSN") account, a Qriocity account, or an SOE account at any time before May 15, 2011. The proposed settlement offers payments equal to credit balances (if applicable credit balance is $2.00 or more) in inactive accounts, game and online service benefits for holders of active accounts, and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses from any identity theft proven to have resulted from the Intrusions. https://psnsoesettlement.com/ I wasn't a PSN user back then, but I got an email informing me I'm getting an additional month of PSN+ because of the outages around Christmas time.

ShadySands Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I got an email saying that I have two free months which is all well and good, I guess, considering that I didn't even know I had PSN+ ever since my PS4 became self-aware and decided to become a time traveling do-gooder Free games updated 3/4/21
LadyCrimson Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 *looks up Witcher 3's system requirements* ...finally! Soon I'll have my excuse/s to build a new computer. Not that I couldn't run that game. Just wouldn't be very high settings/fps. But I think 6-7 years is probably getting on long enough for a rig. Next fall/winter...yesss, precious. 1 “Things are as they are.

Gorgon Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Going to get Wicher and then decide if I need to upgrade. Not upgrading so I can play one specific game at the expense of waiting for a more oppertune time. That would be silly. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Not upgrading so I can play one specific game at the expense of waiting for a more oppertune time. That would be silly. Yeah, that's definitely sensible and what I'd normally do. I'm not actually interested in the game itself. I just want a new shiny and it's been forever since I felt like I had any justification for it. Thanks, next-gen consoles.

Endrosz Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 ArenaNet announced the long-awaited expansion for Guild Wars 2 at PAX South. Entitled Heart of Thorns, it brings a lot of upgrades and new content: The new class, Revenant, surprised me, their publicized design philosophy was "we cover every playstyle with our 8 classes, adding new classes is a pain in the ass, lesson learned in GW1". Class specializations were another surprise. GW1 had multi-classing, everyone had a primary and a secondary. This was ditched early into GW2's design process, too many complications. Now they're bringing it back in a limited format, similar to the prestige class system of DnD3. Interesting. Yet another surprise is the addition of gliders and gliding. They were adamant about "no mounts", which meant no flying mounts either, now they're giving players the means of limited flight. You can't get higher than you can normally get by jumping and climbing, but after climbing high now you can soar above the maps, and enjoy looking at GW2's beautiful sights from a different angle. Cool. In keeping with one of their old design tenets, inherited from GW1, the expansion does not increase the level cap and does not bring in new item tiers or rarity, only new skins. It's one of the reasons why I'm such a diehard ArenaNet fan. To celebrate the announcement, they dropped the price of the game by 75% for two days. Guild Wars 2 is buy-to-play, no subs, its microtransactions are only cosmetic and convenience, and its dearth of content is well worth the $10 price they're asking now. 2 The Seven Blunders/Roots of Violence: Wealth without work.

Sarex Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) http://www.gamewatcher.com/videos/homeworld-remastered-collection-video/14997 Homeworld Remastered from PAX South The problem is that game never suffered from graphics age, it just lacked new content. I played it a **** ton in multiplayer. I guess if they make a dedicated multiplayer server they can make some decent money. Man I still remember camping in deathmatches and rushing 12 capitals, only bad thing is that people usually just surrendered when they saw what I had.

Gorgon Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Losing proposition to go directly for destoyers and battlecruisers unless you have teammates watching your ass. FFA is a crapshoot though, you can get away with anything if the circumstances permit it. In HW2 i used to demoralise cap rushers by targeting the research modules and make them rage quit. Cap rushers are on a very tight timetable and can't afford any distractions. IF they are the first to pump out a destroyer near an enemy MS, it's usually over though.

Gorgon Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 There is something else though. The makeover is also to test the waters to see if a new HW game would be viable. So, fingers crossed. 1 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

I had that ****, down to a second. In 1v1 the point is making them think that you are not rushing or you spam fighters and harass his mothership. In FFA it's easy as pie, you just pull out to the rim and let them fight amongst them self. To this day I regret not recording a match I had against a fellow rusher. Can you imagine a fight between max unit cap fleets, it was glorious. The best thing was, by the time we killed each other we had a fleet of similar size ready for another battle. I think I won in the end because he came at me from below and I managed to turn my capitals in time. The debree field from the battle was so big. Maaaan, I'm really looking forward to this.

LadyCrimson Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 So there's a rumor that Gearbox is going to maybe mention some Borderlands 3 news at Pax today.

sorophx Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 a lot of my friends believe there will never be a Borderlands 3 game, actually, because of how BL2 ends. they think Gearbox will go straight to a quasi-MMO game in the BL universe Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.
