    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord early access release date has been confirmed on its Steam page after the leak by PC gamer when an article get live by error: 31st March 2020 (for $49.99/£39.99)
    https://steamcommunity.com/app/261550/discussions/0/1749023254243969336/
    According to the now removed leak the game is releasing on the Epic Games Store TaleWorlds Entertainment's own store too.

    Welp, guess it's officially time to start browsing new PCs, because that game is absolutely the straw that will break my poor GPU's back.

    The Batmobile was really fun to drive, too! It's just way faster and easier to fly everywhere :(

    I wonder what the cash flow is like for No Man's Sky. Do these ongoing content drops drive substantial new sales? Or is it still them just doing make goods for the initial negative blowback while they coast off the strong original sales with a relatively small team? The first few big updates felt like the latter, but they keep coming even after the tone around the game has largely changed

    No Man's Sky sold EXTREMELY well (which is part of the reason why the backlash was so widespread). It basically gave Hello Games the capital to do whatever the fuck they want for years to come.

    I understand they also experience a significant sales bump whenever they drop more content

    I wish they'd make Arkham Asylum, but like Adam West era Batman.

    I would LOVE a Batman the Brave and the Bold Arkham game

    Like if they went full Arcsys with their cell shading tech

    and you could team up with other DC heroes!

    For the longest time the rumor was that they were working on a Silver Age style game.

    Of course, a Ninja Turtle game, Justice League game and a Suicide Squad game have all also been rumored.

    It won't be just another Arkham game, that's WB Montreal's joint so what, Rocksteady? WHAT?!?!?

    IIRC, when it hit Xbone it also saw a pretty significant spike

    a bit annoyed at inifinifactory

    - there's no way to save 'modules' for use in another level
    - no way to delete or overwrite per-level save slots
    - I just extended a pusher and it's touching a sensor, but not triggering it.

    that last feels genuinely faulty

    If you load up a level solution and select "reset level" (or whatever it's called) in the pause menu it's the same as deleting that save.

    EVE and BDO both have extremely healthy economies

    although they both have certain limitations placed by the devs, they're entirely player driven

    The world is already a PvP MMORPG.

    Although I suppose the PvE component has been getting ramped back up lately.

    Wow is mostly vendor free, isn't it?
    I haven't played in an eternity but apart from token vendors (where you buy specific rewards for doing certain activities enough) almost all gear is looted, and all consumables and crafts go through the AH

    amazon, not google

    amazon sunk a shitload of money and time into the game

    it's intended to be both a test, to see if making games can be profitable, and also its flagship

    Karl The Orphan from Candlekeep's Diary-Chapter 1
    So my foster dad is dead, and some incredibly stereotypical evil dude in a skull mask is after me.

    After making it to the friendly arm inn, I've made contact with two of dad's old friends. They seem cool, and we're off down the road to check out this mine. Apparently the iron in the area is fucked and we're going to find out why.

    Sure, why not. What else have I got to do.

    I've also picked up the wild mage on the way. She seems cool if not a bit disorganised. I'm unsure how she'll gel with the rest of the party but it's nice to have a dedicated mage.

    And if she turns out evil?

    I'm an Inquisitor. I can handle it

    On a meta/gameplay level, this is very much an old game with a deep UI. Despite the tutorial and QoL stuff they've put in the EE version, I'm still playing this on easy. I cannot be arsed to battle with an obtuse UI at this time in my life.

    I picked up the wild mage (Neera is her name I think) on the way to the mine in of those towns on the way.

    As for the evil wizard and dwarf, if you mean the two dickheads I met on the way to the friendly arm inn, I had a chat and decided not to let them join me. They gave me a bad vibe.

    Oh yeah they're terrible. I just always get them because the fight at the inn is so hard with just 2 people.

    Did anyone ever encounter basilisks in Witcher 3, besides the one you fight in
    that early Ciri section?

    A few of my potion upgrades need basilisk venom and I need hide for the Viper armour but I've never seen a basilisk so not sure where to get it.
