but at a glance

You must have missed this part. I’m well aware that Blue Protocol and Genshin Impact are very different, BUT AT A GLANCE, meaning only saw a few seconds of a trailer or some banner ads or something similar, they do look similar. It’s funny you bring up BotW, since many called Genshin a BotW ripoff, despite them not having much in common outside of being open world and same art style, BUT AT A GLANCE, they do look very similar. Anyone who looks into these games for more than 30 seconds should be able to see they’re quite different, but most will only be exposed to a few seconds of marketing, if anything, unless they’re actively looking for more info.

In Japan. It’s supposed to release globally sometime this year.

It’s an open world anime game with action combat. Sure, there’s more to it than that, but at a glance, I can see how people can make that connection.

I think games with sprites are great, but I can’t say the same for low poly 3d games. Not every 3d game needs to have super high fidelity with millions of polygons making up each character’s face, but I think games using n64/ps1-style models is a bit too far in the opposite direction.

Haven’t played it myself, but from what a friend who has played it told me and from what I’ve read, the game was pretty buggy after launch, and the devs didn’t put much post-launch work into it.

Also, it’s an isometric ARPG, akin to Diablo, rather than a MOBA. Check out Last Epoch if you’re looking for a good ARPG.

The article states that the PS5 is responsible for significantly more gaming hours, so a large number of PS4 users are likely mainly using their device for streaming or similar. Hell, I still have my PS2 and 3 in my closet since they’re my only dvd and blu ray players.

Ubisoft has stated in the article they will be redeployed to XDefiant and Rainbow Six.

Quite a few people in The Division community loved the Survival mode from Division 1, so I figured would have had a good audience. I’m a Division fan, but didn’t care for Survival or the Beta of Heartland, so can’t say I’m heartbroken over this.

Just be careful about airflow with something like that.

For Fallout 4, in no particular order: Troubled Waters Pickman’s Gift Here There be Monsters The Big Dig Last Voyage of the U.S.S Constitution Hole in the Wall Silver Shroud Cabot House Spectacle Island - while not a quest, this is a good settlement area if you’re into settlement building

A bit off topic, but if you have access to mods, there are some great quest mods for Fallout 4. I didn’t do much with modding for 3 or NV.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. The last “physical” PC game I bought was Mass Effect Andromeda, and it was just a box with a code. I still buy physical Switch games, though, but partially because I get them with Amazon reward points, which sadly aren’t usable on digital items.

Rajang was legitimately scary in MHW.

I have a couple hundred hrs in and I would definitely say it’s good. It’s clear the devs care about making a good game, rather than just a financially successful one. If you’re into ARPGs, it’s worth the asking price.

It’s worth noting that with the 1.0 launch, there have been connection and loading issues, but they’re working through them and should (hopefully) be resolved soon.

Edit: I should also add that complexity-wise, it strikes a happy medium between Path of Exile and Diablo 4. There is a lot of customization depth between passives and skills, but it doesn’t feel like you need a college degree just to theorycraft a build. You can also reset all passive and skill points, so you’re free to experiment.

I picked up the game about a month ago in prep for 1.0, and have been having a blast with it. So many of the features and design decisions made show that the devs truly care about their game and are striving to make it good, rather than just financially successful. The game is $35 USD and well worth the asking price IMO. While there is an in-game cash shop, it’s all cosmetic and can be easily ignored.

I was looking forward to this one for months, but shipping it with nProtect Gameguard rootkit is a hard pass.
