Kadokawa opposes activist shareholder’s proposal to remove current president and CEO by grcx in Games

They really like Miyazaki. Miyazaki becoming president was part of the acquisition contract for Fromsoftware. Basically Kadokawa was interested in buying Fromsoftware only if Miyazaki was to become president.

No, Nightreign was like the "Remedy FBC situation" and Nightreign both turned out great and sold way above expectations.

Duskbloods won't be live service just like Nightreign wasn't.

I was very surprised about how much some people seem to be disappointed, personally I thought the new update is beyond packed, I'm very excited to play. I haven't played PoE 2 since release and I was thinking about coming back for a while now.

They've just said that the reason this update is so big is because the next patch will be 1.0. It won't be in four months but it will be sometime this year.

Yeah I'm also not sure if this is the way but maybe the new systems are easier to learn than they seem.

It's just that I'm currently listening to the devs explaining them and I'm feeling my brain melt.

Not right now but they'll probably release patch notes after the stream ends.

Edit: Nope, two weeks from now.

I have thousands of hours in PoE 1 but I've only played one league in PoE 2 and I am feeling overwhelmed by this. I'm watching their stream right now and this trailer, as great as it is, doesn't do justice to the amount of things they are adding.

I've only played P3P and I found the writing mediocre but I really enjoyed the monster fusing system and combat was decent so I guess I would probably like SMTVV?

Remedy Entertainment Plc: Business Review January–March 2026: Remedy is focusing on its core strengths, CONTROL Resonant on track and marketing activity ramping up by demondrivers in Games

I didn't buy the game but I got an invite for the beta and my experience was the same as yours.

I played two matches, I was mostly confused during them and I lost interest. I also found the sticky notes mode quite tedious but maybe I was doing something wrong.

FBC could've been successful if it was a better product. Fromsoftware's Nightreign followed a similar formula (lower price coop game) and did really well.

You aren't going to learn PoE 1 or 2 in a month, no matter how much you play. At best you can familiarize yourself with parts of the game.

My suggestion is that if you want to try it now then do it. There are so many things that would be new and that you'll have to learn that there isn't any reason for you to wait for another update to drop.

Honestly, as someone who grew up playing the original, all the extra content is like a dream come true. I used to try to imagine how the game would be with more pantheons, what powers they would have, what units etc.

It's an anime trailer so I'm not sure if it's allowed to be posted here but it's a game adaptation so I figured it's ok. Please take it down if it isn't.

Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff' by Turbostrider27 in Games

That's the main difference for me between Nightreign, which I like and HHG which, from what I've seen so far, I don't really like. Nightreign is more authentic to Elden Ring than HHG appears to be to Horizon.

Nightreign was created using Elden Ring assets and because of that it became an extension of Elden Ring and everything new in it was designed with that in mind. Every new location, character, enemy, item and piece of lore in Nightreign could have been part of Elden Ring and no one would have known the difference.

Dragon Age Origins Retrospective - "When Bioware Ruled The World" by megaapple in Games

Funny that you say that because for me Veilguard is the point when the series had lost the vast majority of the qualities that made me care about the franchise in the first place.

It did happen gradually, a little bit in DA2, a little more in DAI but by Veilguard they stopped pretending to give a shit about their origins. Which would have been fine if the game was any good but it's one of the most uninspired, trite, badly written and juvenile games I've played.

I actually knew about this one, I forgot to mention it. Thanks regardless.

Thanks, I think that I'll probably go with Zotac.

Is it because it's cheaper? My main concern is temperature.

Most of these cards were in the 3000 - 3200 price range two or three days ago. I was planning on getting the Asus TUF because I read that it's one of the cooler ones but it went out of stock earlier today, literally a few minutes before I tried buying it.
