- level shrink again back to 60, I know they did this with shadowlands but raising it again in dragon flight goes against what they were trying o do to avoid pissing off fans
- making gold useful again. Seriously retail wow has a fuck load of materials and random currencies I can’t be bothered to look into the lore for or care about. Please blizzard if any employee is reading this, simplify the fucking economy, only hardcore players are gonna be able to understand what the fuck is going in progression considering the amount of shit your casually expected to pick up on mid game.
- keep dragonflights talent tree system, I get not everyone liked it but I appreciate the fact that isn’t was readable for the average new player even if the skills had borderline cryptic levels of complexity behind their function.
- simplify the UI again, add a mouse lock button and an interact button. Simplifying the UI once was an amazing decision that did alot for new and casual players like me, the addition of a mouse lock button built in game and not in an add-on would make moving around way easier, coupled with an actual dialogue/interact key would make the game easy to handle enough for controller/console players.

I don’t care that much about the content at this point, there’s well more than enough of it, I just want the game to feel a lot smoother to play like what you’d find in a single player title.

There was a big thing a month or two ago where a lot of people were calling for the game to be massively simplified across the board, especially in the realm of abilities and spells. Brewmasters were awful to play at the beginning of the expansion, you pretty much needed a gaming mouse with 10+ extra buttons to use their toolkit properly. Dunno if it's any better now. The game's also hard to commentate/watch at events because no one can follow wtf is happening on the screen. I'm really interested in seeing how the new seasonal server goes (even if it's directly ripping off the Ascension private server) but at the same time I'm worried the new talents will end up bloating the game and watering down the classes in the same way as retail.
>>31510
They're revisiting Northrend in the last third of the upcoming three-part expansion so they might end up reworking Azjol-Nerub, but that's at least a few years away.

 

>>31516
Burning Crusade introduced silliness from the books, namely time travel, which is a death sentence for any story. But at least it was confined to basically one location, as an excuse to revisit iconic Warcraft moments.
WotLK completely fucked Arthases character, making him actually sacred good guy by holding back the Scourge, having repressed "innocent" side represented by child version of himself, and the whole "redemption" after he is defeated. "There always must be a Lich King", Im sorry what? That is so fucking stupid, Wacraft Arthas wasnt some reluctant servant enslaved by Lich King, he was cartoonishly evil, delighting causing death and destruction.

 

Sorry, didn't feel like starting a new WoW thread.
Anyone playing Season of Discovery? I'm interested in checking it out and was wanting to know the leftypol opinion.
>>31517
One reason I gravitated towards FFXIV was because the combo system made it easier to really know where you are at in your rotations, the GCD is much slower and more reasonable, and you can actually see what is happening when you turn down all the graphics. TBH I haven't played WoW religiously since maybe Pandaria or Draenor, but my memories of how fast and chaotic the game became over the years kept me away.

 

My retail WoW wish list:
>shaman tanks

>>32866
I played it for a couple weeks after it came out and had fun. Not sure where things are now but the servers were absolutely packed when I was playing and everyone seemed to be having fun still. I've wanted shaman tanks for over a decade now so maybe I'm a little biased.

 

>>31516
>WotLK was fine story-wise
Sorry, but no. Arthas's soul was supposed to have been stolen by Frostmorne. Arthas still having his soul makes the entire Undead campaign of WC3 not make sense. It means he effectively destroyed his homeland and everything he loved for shits and giggles.

What's more, Arthas has absolutely no reason to want to be the Lich King. Ner'zhul, on the other hand, does actually have motivations and reasons to want to be Lich King. Deciding that Arthas is the Lich King now meant that the Lich King we got was completely directionless. What's worse, they changed his personality so that he was a Doctor Claw knockoff instead of the king of banter from WC3. So we ended up getting the worst of both worlds.

Grace gives me Mario Strikers vibes.

 

Depending on the personal situation of the host, there may be an upcoming /pol/eague 8 in March/April.

 

Potential theme song candidate, although I don't think it will replace The Internationale.

Mass Effect 1 having Shepard being an antivaxxer as a paragon option was so funny, same with Liara bringing up she's considered a child in her society right before having sex with Shepard. The most neocon game of all time. The whole Paragon/Renegade thing in Mass Effect 1 boils down to 'America gets UN approval before Iraq' vs 'America goes it alone (still morally correct)'.

This thread made me download Legendary edition to start another playthought. Uninstalled after finishing tutorial because I was reminded how bad the gameplay part of this game was. Some of the worst gunplay ever put in a videogame, combined with even the wizard class having like 4 abilities total, each with a minute long cooldown.

 

>>32777
IMO there's no real reason to play the game now that we know the 'your decisions matter' stuff was a giant lie

 

>>32777
The first one is the one I return to the most even with all the jank and its combat being the worst of the series. It's comfy being not-space-Jesus and going around reading all the planet descriptions.

 

>>32775
he was 100% right thoughever and was mega based in ME 2 for killing all the lumpen drug dealers in Omega who were making life miserable for the proles of the galaxy

 

>>32788
>he was 100% right
only for plot reasons. the whole reasoning was based on vibes. bioware writing at its finest

Another instance where the security system is a tool for those in power to opress those below. dude shouldnt earn a life sentence over fucking leaking a video game, rockstar lost 0 money on this shit (if you count youtube views ofc, but even then 99% of people use adblockers, so no ad money) why should someone who leaked a video game trailer (not the game itself) recieve such a harsh punishment while there are people out there with money and status committing crimes way more deserving of such punishment?

But he did. That's why he's being thrown in jail.

 

It's more of an indefinite sentence, and it's cuz he said he'll go back to doing it like a dumbass

 

>>32714
>and it's cuz he said he'll go back to doing it like a dumbass
yeah it seems based but he could do much more if he tried to lay low at first just to get a better sentence

 

Did the same guy leak the GTA V source code?

 

>>32695
Yeah the thing about becoming a notorious hacker is that it breaks the anonymity and you can add it to your Resumé/CV which is the strange paradox.

I have looked all over the catalog both on /games/ and /music/ and have not found the VG OST thread so I guess it got wiped by the bumplimit, so here we go again.

The most gangster video game soundtrack ever created.

 

Particularly love the first three tracks, Celtic ones.

I play Swat 4 and Ready or not religiously not because I like them, but to train myself on how to prepare if a police team raided my apartment

Based. Continue.

 

>>32216

So what's the meta then?

In the first seasons of L&O: SVU they just openly talk about using commitment to keep offenders locked up indefinitely after doing their time or putting people without evidence. In 1995 people already understood it to be a subversion of due process. No liberalist pretext of compassion either, just abject contempt for the concepts of rehabilitation and burden of proof. American fascism manifest championing its favorite tools.

Most of Yuroop is an American colony. Cultural at least, if not fully. The UK most of all.

There wasn't and won't be any better Wolverine game than X-Men Origins: Wolverine, change my mind.

 

they were about to have a recognizable identity like nintendo and sega do but decided to shove all those series aside in favor of AAA slop that costs insane amounts of money and time to make

 

>>32667

Nintendo keeps going strong tho

Which console is better if im looking into getting a gaming console?
22 posts and 1 image reply omitted. Click reply to view.

 

Switch, but if you have to get one then I guess Xbox because it has better backwards compatibility and GamePass is pretty nice.

 

PC is the way to go, especially if you were considering Xbox vs PS5 either …
>Build or buy a new one yourself for gaming
This will be perhaps the most costly, but will give you the most sustaining power over time and of course. Either build one yourself ,buy a reasonable pre-built, or get someone else to buy/build one for you. Using discounted, used, or other high quality parts on sale can help get the best value
>Upgrade an existing one for gaming
Depending on how old and what form (ie if its a laptop things will be harder), you may be able to simply add a handful of components, notably new GPU, RAM, and SSD and make your computer way more gaming capable. This may or may not be worth it compared to a new core build, but its worth a shot
>Steam Deck + Deck Dock
If you want something "easy to use" console like, inexpensive, but NOT locked down, look into a Steam Deck. A solid value, well supported, and you're supporting Linux, openness, and generally not being a shit.

 

>>26776
>Just build a PC my dude
How do you tackle the issue of bad PC ports though? Disgruntled PC gamer here.
>>26790
Based libre software comrade, GNU/Linux and libre software are SUPERIOR! S.U.P.E.R.I.O.R! Well, other than OpenBSD of course, I respect you, OpenBSD chads.

 

>>26901
>openness
This word is a psyop, what is important is not supporting this vague notion of "openness" but rather combatting DRM and supporting libre and open-source software. Windows is technically more "open" (as in "less locked down") than consoles but it's still a compromise.

 

>>26769
Depends, but I will recomend buying second-hand. It's much more cheap and they are generally in good condition cause consoles are just sitting there. For that reason, a good second-hand Switch is harder to find.

great mechanics, entertaining storyline, fun gameplay and above all titties. What more can one want out of a Video game? God of War PS2 edition was peak of gaming.
