This is just wrong, School of the Cat managed to successfully get to a point where 1/10 women survived. School of Crane is the later iteration of the School of Cat, which is why I mentioned them specifically. It’s reasonable to assume they kept iterating on the original formula for the trial, so maybe they’ve gotten to a survival rate of 3/10 for women as well by the time of the game?

As for why, it’s because Ciri wants to be a proper Witcher like Geralt. She was raised in Kaer Morhen, one of the ending of Witcher 3 is Geralt handing her a Witcher sword. You really can’t think why she would take the Trial, even knowing the risk?

There’s a massive difference between a Switch and a Playstation. We’re nowhere near emulation of a PS5, and knowing Sony they would have FromSoftware make a launch title for the PS6.

Is it how there still isn’t a good enough PS4 emulator on PC to play Bloodborne at 60 fps?

Well good news, because you don’t need to pay a dime to get updated to version 2.2 and receive all the free updates. Phantom Liberty is a cool story, but has zero impact on gameplay.

Is it really that hard to imagine she eventually undertook the Trial? Yeah Kaer Morhen lost the ability to administer the Trial, but there’s like 10 different Witcher “schools.” Maybe we’ll see Ciri working with the School of the Crane or w/e.

Every game feels a bit broad. Even if just for the sake of development, I’m okay with story-focused games having pre-built characters. Especially if we’re not actually meant to like or agree with the character we’re playing as, such as Martin Walker in Spec-Ops: The Line.

I think you’re both asking for the same thing. IIRC my lore correctly, Witcher clans were founded after the Conjunction to deal with the sudden influx of monsters. A game about the first Witcher could be set mere months after the event.

They’ve given Cyberpunk 4 years of support for free since the initial launch, including a full overhaul of the game. I get the state of the launch was dogshit, and you can bet your ass I’m not pre-ordering, but still holding onto this grudge is just petty. How much more sorry do you need them to be?

Sure, but they’ve only ever had correlational evidence to suggest video games cause violence. Their own correlational evidence does not support their conclusions, and that should be called out and ridiculed.

Can’t really pirate a game on PC if it’s never released on PC.

3 Tanks + 3 Heals, designed to group on an objective and slowly grind out a victory. Blizzard spent quite a lot of time getting rid of the strategy in OW1, and it has never been possible in OW2, because it’s both boring to play and boring to play against. mm

I don’t think Florida has been cool at any point in my lifetime. They started meth before I was born, and by the time I was old enough to form memories they were most well known for “Florida Man.” You’d have to go back to the 80s to find a time when Florida was cool.

Considering Rivals has already fallen into a GOATS meta and NetEase seems poised to repeat literally every one of Blizzard’s mistakes…I wouldn’t be so sure. I’ll keep giving Valve the edge because Deadlock is a fundamentally good competitive game, and it’s backed by the guy responsible for making DOTA 2 the best balanced competitive game. Maybe it won’t stay at the top, but 10 years from now it’s going to be trundling on and Rivals will not.

This doesn’t really surprise me. Overwatch 2 is basically a momument to the rot at the core of Blizzard. Its biggest saving grace is that there hasn’t been a serious challenger in the hero brawler space (sorry Concord) until now.

For my money, I still think Deadlock is going to be the game that comes out on top, but it probably needs another full year to cook.

If only something could be learned from this! Oh well, time for Canada’s Liberal Party to ignore progressive voters and try to court Conservative Party voters instead of working to form a coalition with the slightly leftist New Democratic Party! Surely this time it’ll work!

I’m not sure, but locals tagged “Deny, Defend, Depose” near me. If nothing else, seems there’ll be good branding made of it.

Just glad to know it’s still kicking around. Ape managed to kickstart an entire generation of cozy games, while remaining the best among them. As long as its still cooking, I’m sure it’ll be great when it comes out.

oh man, I’m really tempted to recreate my Lawful Good Hexblade Warlock. I guess the opportunities to roleplay an insane fallen paladin aren’t as prevalent though.

Please bro just a little bit more groooowth. I promise we’ll unlock all the money in the world if we can just have a littile more grooowwth.

Why is Warcraft specifically Blizzard’s fucking kryptonite? Starcraft Remastered is great and has the super cute Carbot reskin. D2 Resurrected is an awesome recreation of Diablo 2. Warcraft 3 Resurrected is still a shitshow even after the 2.0 patch, and 1+2 have the quality of an old mobile game.
