The amount of games (and content) coming out that lol work playing is wild to me.

All I will say is that that Borderlands 4 logo is absolutely horrible.

I don’t know why but why is it giving me an impression that the next one will be too different.

This looks genuinely incredible. Diablo 4s just gotten better and better each month on the seasonal end, but I am super excited to see meaningful new story and coop content.

Yes, lots of potential here. The boss fights genuinely look like fun, some of them seem to be hectic as hell. Although I do hope not every single boss has multiple phases, as it does show in these boss videos. Ease down with that please.

The only thing that can ruin it is if the game world isn’t great, maybe too open/big. It needs to be interesting, dense and fun to explore. But man, imagine combat looking like this, or better in Witcher 4. Because while I adore Witcher 3, the combat isn’t as great and fun as I’d like.

Good for him!

Agree for the most part. I don’t have a problem with the different phases for the bosses because they’re bosses. lol

But we’ll see how it plays out when the game eventually releases. Hoping for Spring 2025.

It reminds me of Souls games and Sekiro, where the first phase is already challenging enough, and then you get phase 2 or even 3 and if you die, no checkpoint. Whereas something like Witcher 3 doesn’t have these phases.

Still, maybe I just need to “get good” haha.

Crimson Desert though isn’t a souls game. It’s an action RPG and im expecting there to be difficulty levels so it should even it out. But again, we’ll see.

This is giving me whiplash from the other thread.

what the take on Atlas fallen? It is worth investing time in co-op?

I completed it a year ago when it launched. Really enjoyed it with the highlight being the combat system. It’s said to be even better now with the Reign of Sand update and I would like to replay it but don’t know if/when that will happen. I don’t know how the co-op is but I would imagine “sand surfing” in co-op would probably be a lot of fun.

Lots can change in 8 years, let alone 1.

So they sent that same statement again about deals

. x.com

I find it odd, because Sony didn’t really did anything with marketing, let alone the press not receiving any PS5 copies. Perhaps MS meant it as “if there are any deals”? But why not say it like that? The wait could be way longer if it is one. Sigh

Yeah, I’m gonna forget about this one until we hear a update.

Isn’t it a mess on consoles? It’s going to be a long wait for everyone, if it comes at all.

Yep. According to DF it’s far from ideal on PS5, but it struggles in areas where Xbox might actually do a lot better.

Maybe MS just thought “let’s send the same statement, because we just don’t know right now” or there actually might be some shitty ass deal after all. I just hate this shit. I had some hope for late this year or early 2025, but who really knows now.
