I’m sorry, what?! For RuneScape? I don’t know any other MMORPGs that charge that much, let alone for the simple game that RuneScape is.

Uh oh I have 517 hours in Planetside 2. That’s only counting Steam game time, and not using the standalone client before I played on Steam or time spent in the closed beta.

I have almost 1,000 hours in Final Fantasy XIV and I have only finished the main game and first expansion. Although I mainly played before the first expansion came out and got back into it in 2023.

Other games include: World of Tanks Blitz with 755 hours on Steam, not counting mobile; Lord of the Rings Online with 714 on Steam, not counting standalone client before it was on Steam; Elite Dangerous with 687 hours; Star Wars The Old Republic with 572 hours on Steam, not counting the standalone client before it was on Steam; Elden Ring with 360 hours; Mount & Blade Bannerlord with 180 hours.

Honorable mention: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on original XBox. I don’t know how many hours I sunk into that, but it was a favorite of mine.

This title is so specific that I kind of think it was the reason…

Nintendo’s lawyers, pursuing the devs

Falco: “I can’t shake this guy!”

Probably remasters or remakes. They don’t want to compete with themselves.

It’s almost as if being publicly traded is bad for the stability and longevity of a company. Who would have thought?

[Disclaimer: I only read the headline]

Also the triggers have way too much resistance.

The Edge has 3 “distance” settings for R2 and L2. I moved mine to the shortest setting since I was getting trigger fatigue from Final Fantasy XIV.

I use a DS Edge exclusively for PC gaming, and I have for a while now. Through Steam, the back pedals, touch-pad buttons, PS button, and microphone button are all customizable to be any button input you want. I have them on a per-game profile basis, where some games like Elden Ring I map them to be a second O-button so it’s less awkward to run, where others I have them bound to keyboard inputs or macros.

Now the question will be: How long until emulation of these console-locked games is viable?

He just read the headline about how experts say AI could easily replace CEOs in the near future.

I saw everyone flipping out over the pointless microtransactions in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Why am I not seeing the same level of hate for this, or more? This means that the content is already complete and in the game, yet simply made inaccessible by way of timed release and possibly paywall.

Holy crap, that’s dedication. Were you using savestates at all?

My late uncle let me play his copy when I was a kid, and when he told me I caught some pokemon he didn’t have. I got really proud of myself. I remember always trying to get the Master Ball, but it was too hard on the Red table, so I’d always play blue.

Definitely, assuming you like the fantasy action RPG style games. Some enemies are too tough to even damage until you level up and get better equipment, so keep that in mind if you find some sections too difficult. Magic actually feels POWERFUL, more so than other games like Skyrim and Elden Ring. Even with the sequel coming out soon, I couldn’t recommend the first one more; its in my most favorite games of all time.

I have so many Steam Sale games in my library that I haven’t played yet that I don’t know if I could justify buying more. My backlog is just too long. By the time I get around to playing any purchases for this dale, 2 more Steam Sales could have already passed.

Dragon’s Dogma is a great game that was ahead of its time when it came out. I can’t help but wonder how much of a hit it could have been if Capcom marketed it better (or at all).

One spam call I asked the guy to stay on the line while I verify his number by running a route trace. He hung up and I stopped getting spam calls almost completely. Now I get a few that are auto-blocked but I still get robo-voicemails.

I feel like a large number of the people pirating wouldn’t have bought the game even if it was their only option. Then there’s people who pirated and bought the game both. Unrealized profit is not the same as losing money.

Most of the base building quests are completely optional. There is a mod that automates base building, turning it more into something like SimCity. I haven’t tried it out, but it’s a top mod over on the Nexus site.

I gave Fallout 4 another try recently, after only playing a few hours of it a couple of years back. I ended up getting sucked into it. So far, I’ve only used a couple of quality-of-life mods, like a high FPS fix and allowing Dogmeat to be a companion alongside any other companion, which the game had unimplemented code for.
