i do believe the Tomb Raider trilogy remaster has gotten overall a positive reception but i havent tried it yet

And yeah they got kicked off the KOTOR project probably for the best

The new Battlefront collection just released a patch... (to late for me though)

But since its failure to launch the old EA battlefront 2 is back in top 20 gameplay charts.... (and on sale for like 4 dollars)
Squadrons is also only 2 $ on xbox atm

**
Starfield patch is out for everyone hopefully addressing most the remaining issues with quest/items etc.

Finish Season 2 of Halo on Paramount.... its getting really good. Cant give to many details without spoilers but if you didnt like season 1... you will probly like season 2 much better and if you liked season 1 you will love season2.

Dragons Dogma 2 is out now... Getting review bombed at the moment due to optional microtransations i believe.. All the gameplay i have seen looks great and fun. I might be waiting on this one just cause i have a lot right now and gamepass just dropped evil west and dead island 2

[Arturo Bandini]

I considered Dragon dogma 2 but the micro transactions are pure thief so I won't endorse it.

I'm not going to pay to start a new game.

interesting ITs all included in the deluxe edition at least 1 of all of these (not sure why things are listed 3-4 times)

I figured they were just 1 time bonus items..   like some games give you early access to a few weapons and such if you  preorder but you can still unlock naturally.


I dont like these types of things but if its all optional and i can get all these items in the game (or dont need at all) without much hassle then it wont bug me to much as ill just ignore them.

Dont think this will make/break it for me    but ill wait longer to see how impactful it really is

I am thinking of Grabbing Jedi Survivor as its 60% off atm and i have kinda a starwars itch the the bad battlefront collection left unscratched

MTX in a 80€ euro game is a hard pass for me.

There will be no DLC for BG3 and no BG4 at least by Larian.

Nice interview from their boss telling they thought about it and cancelled because it didn't come from the heart but I suspect Larian wasn't happy that Wizard of the Coast fired half of their people after getting millions doing nothing. He also said there was noone left at WoTC in the team they worked with for the game.

They were all fired ...

But actually, what impressed me more is that they relocated all their team in Ukraine to get them out of the war ( families included ) during the dev of the game.

Respect.

So many epic worlds they could tackle.. Game of Thrones would probly work pretty well with their style or LOTR  or maybe the can finally make Kotor 3

I hope we see a new Borderlands game one day, I would hate for the upcoming movie to be the series' final project. They can't go out like this, PLEASE!!!

Just read this:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/03/28/take-two-buys-gearbox-and-its-new-borderlands-game-from-embracer/

So it appears, for now, that my favorite game series is safe and a new entry is in the future.

Going to take two I think will work out well for them if they are allowed to make their own games and not become a support studio.

Definately a brighter future than embracer was offering

never tried it myself...  

Its hype has seemed to die down abit now... probly needs more content

But very successful for basically a game in Beta
