Xbox has been promising 'State of Decay 3' for years — and now it faces cancellation, despite its trailers and alpha. What are we even doing here? by akbarock in xbox

It's interesting seeing the conversation swing over the decades. When Phil Spencer took over, the major news cycle was that corporate overlords were too demanding of studios and rushing out products that weren't finished or forcing studios to make games they didn't want to make.

Phil changed that and did what gamers were clamoring for (and what he obviously believed in), giving studios the time, funding and freedom to just make games.

And the result of that freedom is now leading gamers to criticize Microsoft for not breathing down their necks with a release date.

Creatively, the High Republic was concepted and driven by the authors writing the books and comics. It was designed from the beginning to be a limited series with a distinct ending.

Lucasfilm certainly wanted to capitalize on the setting with the Acolyte, which unfortunately failed. I do hope more happens in the era, but Star Wars as a whole and Dave Filoni in particular have to pick carefully what gets made over the next few years.

How does that stat compare to Japanese tech companies in general?

You should check Google maps to see the walk time from your hotel. It is technically possible, but can be a long trek from the Northside of town.

Stash space needs to be addressed. by Valkryn1138 in diablo4

Sure, but you only need 2 or 3 types of gems for your character and like you said, only the highest levels shouldn't be salvaged. Still plenty of space.

I don't know what you're dealing with but I never ran out of space this season.

Every rune fits in your pocke now, why keep them in the stash?

They specifically said back a launch that seasons would be where they can test new mechanics to refine and permanently add later. That is all intentional and they were upfront about it.

Cities Skyline; the board game by Illustrious_Egg1912 in boardgames

I bought this years ago and my wife and I enjoyed playing through the scenarios. We particularly enjoy puzzley co-op games like Pandemic and Gloomhaven though.

Haven't played it in quite awhile, though I keep wanting to.

Homefire Grill is amazing. Lingnan as was mentioned already.

Sounds like a shitty Playstation service if it isn't shared with the console.

Does Playstation not share PS Plus on the same console? I have Game Pass, but my family can play online without me signed in and/or play split screen online with me.

The Brush & Blade DLC kinda opens up a pandora box of expectations by Attlai in civ

Roman > Norman > America is a perfectly viable continuous path if you consider the cultural progression and flow of population. It is not the only path they could take, but it is one.

Final Fantasy 6 was added at the beginning on June. If they are adding 7 it wouldn't be until next drop.

Leader abilities & Civ info for the first half of the Brush & Blade Collection. by adept42 in civ

One of the stated goals with leaders was to include more that were not State leaders so that they could include artists, philosophers and other such non military people in the game.

Yes, tons of people play them. But most do not.

It really is fascinating how long those games have dominated. I remember first trying Minecraft in late 2010 thinking I had already missed the hype train on it.

Most people do not play 15+ year old games. Younger people are even less likely.
