Ubisoft are a bunch of greedy scummy slimy assholes.

Kassandra was awesome, played through the whole game as her, she did indeed feel like the "true" protagonist in the game.

Everything I hear about Ubisoft these days makes them sound worse than they did yesterday.

So on the bright side of Ubi leaving Steam means that I won't ever be paying full price for their games. Uplay+ 1 month and then cheap on sale later for ownership.

Man. Gamepass has brought me back into the fold. You hear that M$? You convinced me to pay for it per month, got my co op group together and even convinced me to spend $100 on a GPU.

Last night I really tucked into Enter the Gungeon. I'm not sure where I stand on it so far. Its nearly as fun as Issac in pure moment to moment gameplay, but not as many cool power ups and it seems a lot more difficult. I'll be diving in again tonight to see if I can get past the 4th level.

The only DQ games I've played so far are 1-4,8.11. I finished all of them except for 8. The only one that I needed to grind a bit in was 2, but that one is apparently not very well tested towards the end (Which reminds me of the first Mother game. I don't think I've ever played a worse balanced final dungeon in a JRPG ever!). I hear that DQVII might be the longest in the series so I'm not surprised that you needed to grind for what seems like end game stuff, but 20+ hours? Damn 😵 😵
It took me a good 160+ hours to beat DQVII but ya something like 20+ hours I think is what it took me to grind because I wanted to have everyone in their peak form and it just so happened that one of the characters I didn't not have set to the "right job". So to put it simply everyone was the same "LV" but skill wise 3 were at LV 8 and the other was only at LV 5 out of LV 10 sort of a thing. Had I know about certain story stuff and things like that it might have played out differently.

Omg, I wonder if my character is still there. Haven't played in many years.
Same. I played it at launch for a while! I had 4 characters if I remember right playing through their story modes. Never played any of the expansions. Part of me wants to go back but I don't want to be sucked back in.

Played SW:Tor for a couple of year.
Some of the story lines were pretty good and had the Bioware feel.

Yeah I got sucked into SWTOR for most of 2012. Had a lot of fun with it! Some great single player story content. Curious if my character remains after 8 years.

I played The Old Republic for a few months when it released. The Jedi Sage was pretty much a Discipline Priest clone, but that was my favorite World of Warcraft class/spec. I thought the narrative and quests were okay, but ultimately it's not a game I'd come back to. I had some good fun with the raids and dungeons before they stopped releasing anything new. I think the structured PvP was the thing that surprised me the most. Huttball was a lot of fun, especially as a Jedi Sage.

Guild Wars 2 was the only MMO after this that I'd enjoy. Ultimately I don't think modern MMOs are very compelling.

World of Warcraft: Classic is the only one I'm interested in, and a lot of it is due to the value that is placed on the world and giving players reasons to be in it. I hope they do something like ARPG seasons eventually where players can all start over from phase one of content.

It is quite something how rank and file folks at Ubisoft managed to get anything done while having to deal with harassers and manchildren.

Sadly Yves isn’t going anywhere. I just hope, to quote Facundo Cabral:

‘if bad people knew that being a good person is good for business, they would be good, even if it just for business’.

Fantasy Strike is free now. Also has a $100 dlc?
Nice!




Don’t miss the huge wave of new players that will come with this change. Get in on the game now. While it’s designed to be a deep game for experts, it’s also the perfect “second game” for everyone in the FGC because you can learn the basics so quickly and get right to the strategy. It also happens to be a great game for anyone wanting to try out fighting games for the first time.

For experts, we have a [UWSL]one-year anniversary tournament[/UWSL] coming up on Saturday, July 25th and we challenge you to see how well you can do in this simple-seeming, but brutally difficult game.

Welcome to the community!

Ah, just got off the tel from Apple !
No problem, we will take care of your device, you will just have to put your bank info for us to block the repair amount.
Ok :sweaty-blob:
...
open the mail
Amount is 491 euros
close the mail

:suicide-blob:

I suppose it's for the maximum amount, but there is no way in hell that I can let them block that much.

Now I wonder if the little shop in the local supermarket could repair it... it's not like I have that many choices.
I could also replace it for a mobile phone, but then bye bye comic books and pdf reading.

I'm very out of practice but one of the greatest games ever. Looking to get this on my PS4 for free!

And yes, it sucks to lose steam but really

1. Five years old
2. Has robust built in social tools
3. Game will survive

Hopefully Psyonix can develop a new game with Epics support in the future.

20k concurrent for SWTOR is incredible for such an old game.

I wonder how dead the servers were right b4 the steam release. I haven't played it in so long.
