So big company is not doing too good and eyes smaller company that is beating them in all metrics except size.
Big company adquires, absorbs, "merges", with smaller one and instead of looking at what the small company was doing that beat them m…

Spiritborn is not only OP it's at least 2 tiers above rest of the classes this season. It's blatantly obscene at this point.
Yeah they really need to ne…
Powercreep in a Diablo game... How did we get here. Not gonna talk about Lord of Destruction when even Reaper of souls didn't pull this gacha mobile gaming strategy about making the "new thing" OP.

User scores in MC don't have much science to them in the short term. Divisive games with dubious tactics (preventing early access to reviewers not aligned) will be bombed in the first days.
Long term things get more "real" even in MC. Steam is a…

I think everyone needs to wait awhile for the dust to settle before claiming victory one way or another. However, 70k peak users on Steam is not a good sign no matter how hard you want to cope and hand wave away…
79 on MC PC with curated reviews. Thats 3 points below Dragon Age 2. 6 points below Inquistion 12 points below Origins...
Yellow is almost granted and now I'm not so sure about not seeing it red.
What a disaster. Sales can still be good but …

I'm a sci-fi reader. Things are awful. Only eastern writers are keeping things going. Western publishers incentivize "young stars" and female empowered writers. It's been a total mess for readers since 2014…

Still recon it will get a 75 to 80 average score at MC, but we shall see.
If you're talking user score takes a long while to average out to anything approaching valid. Ultimately, when you've got a …
Oof not even a 9 huh? No that we didn't know this was a pretty average game (review code embargo for reviewers with mixed views was the redest herring of red herrings) but this is like a neon sign for not a great game ("can't even lie to a 9").

I was sure Neverwinter was going to close after all the layoffs. I really loved this game back in the day so it's nice to see it keep going.
Games of a more civilized and advanced time.
I wish them the best but game is poised to be mediocre and pushing agendas I don't care about.
Will try it when it goes for 10$ in a keys page in 6 months or when it gets sent for free on Prime or Epic in late 2025.
First good thing I read about DA Veilguard. That won't have intrusive malware but...
Is it because it won't have it or because the game itself is intrusive malware and doesn't accept 3rd party competition?
This game is gonna be so bad is g…
Is this going to be better than Marvel Future Strike or Strike Force? Because the few gameplay captions I have seen make it look like worse that those older games.
I don't think MMO is dying. They had a huge spike due to the pandemic and things have been going back "to normal" but the genre still has more people in it's orbit than ever.
Other thing is that nothing that it's launched attracts enough of th…
Yeah no. Tired of this bs that new is better. Developers have demonstrated enough times they can't improve the classic trope of MMORPG questing. In fact all their efforts have come with way worse outcomes.
Assume that you don't have the quality…

I can understand small games (that don't make much money) or games that are created with that in mind as a core feature of the game, doing "collabs" but I can't understand a Diablo game having WoW c…
