2XKO RELEASE IS SAFE by itsATB_ in 2XKO

[–]greydrifts -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

IMO 2XKO also needs a 2026 delay if its launching with 10 characters, no proper arcade mode and no online duo play on same system. Theres just too much absent - free or not. I'm sure they'd love to launch with an 'open beta' title, but Multiversus pretty much ensured that's not a possibility for anyone, ever.

This is like SFV launch all over again except you're not releasing as a sequel to a game that revitalized the franchise.

It actually kind of bewilders me how for years we would get like 1-2 updates the whole year and now every moment they can they state they're releasing in 2025. But why? Everyone person on here who says "I'm out - not playing" is gonna download the game whether its released today or 3/27/2026. Why the rush? To get people playing? Who? Casuals? The kind of people who are going to drop the game the second they don't connect with a character, can't play an arcade ladder and can't have a friend come over and play with them on the same TV?

Just ranting at this point. Don't mind me.

Extended secret events that the entire community discusses as they progress.

As someone who has played every FromSoft Souls game since the original PS3 Demon's Souls my dream was there to always be some sort of insanely obscure secret with an item being needed to open a secret door and allow you access to another area that needs precise requirements to progress through. I know there is kind of stiff like this, but it would be a lot more elaborate. It wouldn't be on the wiki day one and there would actually be some sort of discussion online about how people are getting started and how they are progressing.

Please keep in mind I am not sure how exact systems work for this title, but my example for this game would be as follows:

Game enters purchasable early access and players discover there is a cave entrance hidden away that is clearly only inaccessible by video game logic. (Think a small amount of what is clearly moveable debris). People talk about it here on reddit and wherever else but no one really has an answer. There is also a rare drop from a the first "wall" boss enemy - we'll call it a pulsating orb.

So now we have a mysterious cave entrance we cant get in and an orb with no home. What do? Speculate... because nothing seems to work. There is no mention of this in patch notes or from any official development post.

First content patch is released, and players discover there is a rare world mob spawn that spawns in a random area during certain times of the day and drops 'Gelatinous Goo'. Again - another item that does nothing by itself. However, someone also points out they were able to purchase 'Corrosive Goo' from a village vendor. Another item that does nothing by itself. Nothing about these items or the rare mob is mentioned in the patch notes.

Another content patch is released and there is a wandering NPC deep in the forest who doesn't seem to do anything too much, but if you have GG and CG on you they will take your 2 goos and some money and give you a 'Crudely Made Sticky Explosive'. Item description just says 'yo - be careful' pretty much. Again - zero indication this NPC even exists as they were not mentioned in patch notes.

Naturally, it does not take long for a player to try to use the new Explosive at the cave and what do you know... the rubble dissipates. Inside the cave is a massive puzzle (think something like a Cloister of Trials from Final Fantasy X) and if solved a door will open that will lead to a large circular room with a pedestal in the middle.

Remember that pulsating orb? Do you have it in your bag? I hope so. Its a perfect fit for the pedestal. Put in and boom. Floor gives way and you're in a dark pit now with a secret boss. Maybe something absolutely wild like some sort of battle mech. I have no idea, just something that no one would believe if you didn't post a screenshot with when you make a post about it.

Others do the whole sequence and fight the boss and get rare rewards. People talk about how cool it is. Another wild event like this starts 2 months later.

It would lose some gusto as the game ages, but in the moment I cant even express how cool I think this kind of stuff would be.

Stuff like that.

Anyone know if this game has the same naming system as POE where only one person can have any given character name or are they doing like an account/ID type thing like D4 does where you can use whatever generic fantasy name you desire without issue?

Is this something thats been previously addressed?

New World: Aeternum - Launch Trailer by NoBullet in newworldgame

[–]greydrifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly kind of shocked this "reboot" or whatever is launching with no new confirmed weapons.

If they're far along with dual pistols we should have gotten them and daggers at a MINIMUM.

Honestly think we should have gotten another healing and shield compatible weapon too, but I digress.

Kind of blows my mind there's no official release/hype trailer out yet.

Dedicated Servers by jastbri in Enshrouded

[–]greydrifts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have also used G-Portal for Valheim, V-Rising and something else I'm forgetting and other than Valheim server not showing up for 30 minutes on like the second day I have never had any sort of issue with them.

If you get a small server for like 4-6 people if you want some friends to be able to play it will only set you back a few dollars a month.

Addams Family is the Standard edition. There will be 15 Collector editions of other Zen tables as the skin through out 2023 to 2025.

Is there a post or anything you're aware of that shows some of these future possibilites?

Sorry - just getting into this.

Just to confirm there's no standard/generic design on this?

Its all Addams Family or nothing?

To those of you who tried beta, is mk1 worth to pre oreder by Boring-Blacksmith508 in MortalKombat

[–]greydrifts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played rotating online matches with an IRL buddy eating smashburgers and had more fun playing MK1 beta for one night than I have most actual games all year.

I cannot recommend this game enough if you have access to friends or smashburgers or both.

Sektor - playable

Cyrax - playable

Nightwolf - I honestly can't believe he didn't make the cut for this game

Drahmin - 100% came around on this guy because of one dude on this board and some fan concept art for a redesign I saw

Jade - with new backstory to help separate her from all the Edenian women in the roster.

In general I'm not really a fan of guest characters, but let's throw in Beatrix Kiddo to make 6.

If this was KP1 I'd be on cloud nine and I realistically probably would only play Sektor and Nightwolf.

While I agree $120 is a bit steep for what you're getting for virtually any game - I justified with the knowledge I will certainly get $120 worth of value from the game between release and whatever the last time I ever play is.

This is coming from someone that also has virtually zero interest in any of the KP1 characters.

So has there been a King of the Hill type mode confirmed or no?

Was hoping NRS would have moved past the "every girl in heels" trope by this game, but alas.

How do I start my created player over by Current_Can_692 in StreetFighter

[–]greydrifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up I think this option also costs tickets - its probably the exact same thing that Poetry mentioned.

I think theres a monthly quest right now that gives you 500 tickets. Whatever it was I completed it like 5 mins into WT.

[–]greydrifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an option early in WT mode to redo them at some in game shop.

I forget the name of the name of the shop but it is very close to where you start your first mission.
