So glad to see that everyone here is having a good experience with Epal.gg. I hope it provides all of you with many hours of non-toxic, enjoyable online fun.

I am really into open world gaming, but I feel like some things could definitely be improved. For example: -More relevant "follow up" quests following completion of specific quest lines (i.e. after fixing the Thieves guild in Skyrim, why can't there be some kind of extended quest line involving the guild's new golden age?). -More three-dimensional followers with solid backstories (Fallout NV does this right; Skyrim gets it pretty wrong). -More continuity in terms of consequences of one's actions across the map. I'd love to see a kind of hybrid format between Dragon Age and Skyrim. I love the openness of Skyrim, but it'd be cool if it had the depth and evolution of Dragon Age in response to one's choices. What do you think could improve in open world game formats?

Let's cross our hands and watch rockstar going a masterpiece GTA 6 game which will look very much tremendous.

That's the one I mean, it's still called reboot button, since you can reboot your console with it, Lol. That's what damaged in my first PS3 that made it go beyond repair.

No one disputes the fact that people still play online games but joining such online games communities is where the challenge it ; as it's where you get to feel the toxicity that comes with the association. Take a look at this article on the most toxic gaming communities. https://www.esportsbets.com/news/toxic-gaming-communities/

Yes, it will always make us spend on priority needs base on necessity and not just over spending on needs that doesn't warrant it.

What kind of game is Top Eleven Football Manger? Is it like FM (Football Manger? If it's available on PC, I might be interested in it because I love football manager games.

If you have Playstation 4, you can easily check out this Chess game. You are going to love it.

Take a look at the trailer of System Shock 3. They keep piling up for you mate, since you're yet to play the SS 1 & 2. There is remake of the game as well.

So, Blizzard didn't value much of the input their own forum members were giving? What could be the reason for that? And how would they know what's being said about them from the outside, it's only going to be having spies in other forums to do it for them.

The game is currently out. The launch back on December 10nth was a disaster. It was buggy on PC and almost unplayable on the PS4 and Xbox One. Bad enough it was removed from console digital stores. After months of patches, the game was put back on sale on the PS Store. In short, the game is available on both PC and console now.

Stagnant implies there's no movement and is becoming foul as a result, so really the simple answer would be that it's not doing anything. This has been the case with World of Warcraft of late, where people can go nearly a year without new major content but are expected to pay £9.99 per month, which can no longer be justified as server maintenance when the game's netcode is off (which can't be blamed given how much the game has to process; WoW 2 looks better each day for that reason.) WoW's an astonishing case study for MMO stagnation. My observations are as follows: Faction Borefare: World of Warcraft is about the Horde. Something within the Horde happens, the Alliance assist, and ultimately the Horde decides to deal with it in house. The Alliance politics are as follows: Genn Greymane gets mad at Sylvanas. Tyrande is either mad or calm depending on if Sylvanas or the Fel are about. Anduin must choose between being a Paladin or a Warrior, and ends up becoming a Paladin. It's been like that since at least Christie Golden's novel The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm, which I enjoyed very much, but I feel so sorry for Alliance players who have to suffer that. The Horde has the same story every expansion (see above) but at least each of the faction leaders have their role to play, besides the leader of the Huojin Pandaren. One, two, lootin' my shoes. World of Warcraft is about raiding. Every activity, no matter how minor, has the sole purpose of getting you into raids. The exceptions being things like pet battles or the Darkmoon Faire, which have universal acclaim despite the former being branded as a Pokémon ripoff (which it is, but at least it rips off something good.) Even PvP at several points has been a recommended means of gearing up for raids, or being part of the Mists of Pandaria legendary cloak. Every profession has a purpose in raiding, but is rarely used outside of that activity besides to level said profession up to be raid-ready. Major content that's added is a raid, maybe a dungeon (solely to be done in Mythic difficulty of course) and that's it. Why PvPers stay is beyond me; I only play for casual Alterac Valley skirmishes. The Game Begins at Endgame. World of Warcraft is about getting to the highest level. Nothing prior to it matters. Even its players agree that your experiences before then are worthless as they herald "the game begins at endgame." The problem with this is it doesn't, and shouldn't, because the endgame changes every 2-4 years, and since the Cataclysm expansion there's been a decrease in what you get in your endgame, and your monthly subscription fee. Ask any player when was the last time they did a raid in a previous expansion that wasn't for transmogrification item purposes, and chances are it'll have been during that previous expansion. The moment new content comes out, both the players and designers agree it is pointless. The devs shoehorn in catch-up mechanics, and the content locusts gobble them up and complain further. Those're just a few observations. I'd write more but it's way past my bed time and I need to go for a walk tomorrow morning to let out some of this venom.

Absolutely this. I do like that you have the miscellaneous quests that - upon doing 10 of each type - net you some traders and craftsmen. It's a shame that other Elder Scrolls and Fallout games didn't do this. Once you got the final title and achievement for a guild, that was it, you might have a follower to order around (which is extremely limited in function) and some miscellaneous tasks to fulfill that you were already doing. Again, this is a fine expectation given the prominence of companions. They've not changed since the days of Baldur's Gate though. They only speak three times: For their first quest For their second quest For the final part of their quest After that, it's like nothing happened. Unless there's a romance, in which case afterwards, there's either the option for woohoo, or see what I said before. With Fallout: New Vegas you have to goad characters into giving more info, but even then it's only after spending a predetermined amount of time, rather than naturally. I would very much like for companions to have their passive dialogue evolve over time, and stop you at different times to one-another. Bring back banter between two companions in the same party! Apologies for going on about Oblivion once more, but I never got over the fact that before Baurus has even left the sewers, before the Emperor's body has gone cold, the first friendly NPC you talk to has rumours about Uriel Septim's assassination. Even I'm not over that! I like the idea of news travelling slower than Fast Travel. This one definitely needs to come up in more conversation about open world games. I would too, but I think this is just one of those things that works better in hub-based games like Dragon Age. The passage of time is a lot different when the scale's reduced like DA or Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. I can't think of many additions to add besides those I made in another thread about open world games, but I think you've hit the nail on the head.

Yeeeees.

Hey, Boblee! Welcome to our place! 😄

Tried Life is Strange 2, and I quite liked it! Gonna keep your idea in my mind!

As long as it's for the bills, I have nothing to complain! My ad blocker was always disabled for the forum!

Their should be dynamic seasons in the game, gameplay shouldn't look ridiculous or unrealistic, the levels shouldn't be repetitive, their should be difference.

I said I'd get back to you, and while I've only played with them for about ~4 hours, just having companions has made a world of difference. I feel a lot more motivated to explore and complete content now I've got someone to watch my back, which will also be useful with the higher difficulty, as I tend to play as low as possible in Bethesda games. I've also tried an 'Enhanced Economy' mod, which makes trade and money making more realistic (or so it claims) but didn't quite enjoy it all that much. I might do as the game goes on and I have too much money. I'll look into housing mods soon too. I have faced the problem of mods causing the game to crash on startup though, so I'll need to look into which one(s) are causing the problem, and then see how many I can safely play with. But if I had to just settle for companion mods, I can live with that. It's nice to see one of my all-time favourite games with a fresh spin on it.

It's currently out of stock on Amazon but it's sold for $54.90 when they had it in stock last. https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Pro-Controller/dp/B01NAWKYZ0

I bought the equipment (Elgato HD60 S) to have a go earlier this year.. I thought it could potentially be a neat way of getting organic traffic to my website, but I haven't really had the time to properly invest in playing the kind of games that I'd want to stream. Maybe one day..

It's getting released this year November 5th. Most Call of Duty fans are really looking up to the game release.

A quick list right off the top of my head: Zelda OoT Castlevania SOTN FF8 The Legend Of Zelda (first title on NES) Q*Bert Conker's Bad Fur Day Mario 64 1080 Snowboarding Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Layers Of Fear: Legacy Dante's Inferno God Of War (entire series prior to PS4, but especially Chains Of Olympus) RDR2 Tell Me Why Life Is Strange

So long as I've been a professional reviewer, zero, because that wasn't my trade when Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was new, and those are some of the few games that would get my overwhelmingly bias 5/5, which is what they're reserved for. However, when I do a personal review of something such as on The Backloggery, I've given three games a five-star review, the first being Yakuza 0. The next two are Paper Mario and I may end up knocking down Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door simply because I don't find it as legendary, despite its status within the community (and my nostalgia which matched others'.) My scoring system is essentially 4-stars, and goes as follows: A technically bad game I didn't enjoy. A technically bad game I did enjoy / a technically good game I didn't enjoy. A technically good game I did enjoy / a technically bad game I greatly enjoyed. A technically good game I greatly enjoyed. Unreachable god-tier. I find five-stars to be more managable than 10 or out-of-100 because they lack consistency between sites, editors, and reviewers,and my criteria are easy enough to measure. It also prevents score inflation. A 2/5 is still a good game in one sense or another, and honestly, between that and a 5/5, that's the score to trust if you read any of mine. But then you are supposed to read the text that reaches the conclusion of it getting its score.
