    1. Best single player experience - Offline / MMORPG games?

      I went through the topics and did not see a previous on on this, so I am curious what your current favorites are, from both a single player experience offline (no pvp or multiplayer mode) or MMORPG wise?

      Bonus points for new MMORPGS and undervalued titles which are just fun and engaging to play. I have to have the ability to get up and walk away at a moments notice for work purposes, so pvp and requirements that I spend a lot of continuous time are hard to find in a fun game, even if I do not get called away like that for days at a time. I am into strategy more than FPS, but all are welcome!

    4. Fans of Megaten games. Any fans of the series here?

      Megaten games is usually used to refer to the mainline games known as Shin Megami Tensei, but over time it has gone on to include "sub-series" such as Persona, Raidou Kuzunoha, etc. Just wondering...

      https://careers.blizzard.com/en-us/openings/oNiH7fwD archive.is mirror

      We're working on a new, unannounced Diablo project. Are you a skilled Dungeon Artist? Come work with us, and together we will build something exceptional.

      • Work directly with level design to build atmospheric dungeons with a focus on composition, detail and mood, while ensuring that the gameplay space is readable.
      • Work with Lead Environment Artist and the Art Director to ensure all environments are meeting the high-quality bar Blizzard is known for.
      • Experience working with a lead artist or art director in developing a unique and cohesive modeling and texturing style for environment assets

      Definitely looks like a whole new game in the pipeline. Any other dungeon crawler fans on ~tildes so far? I think I've got 300+ hours in Diablo 3 alone, let alone 1 and 2.

      What do you want in a new Diablo, what do you definitely not want?

    6. Advice for people terrified of board games?

      Most of my friends and my husband love board games- the more complicated, the better! My whole life, many board games have given me pretty bad anxiety to the point where I pretended I hated them rather than admit I was just scared.

      Over the past few years, I have found a few games I don't mind playing- mostly cooperative (Sentinels of the Multiverse, Betrayal at House on the Hill) or anonymous ones (Cards Against Humanity, Jackbox Games). I still have a hard time playing strategy games like Catan or Ticket to Ride; games which involve guessing what others will do like Rook or The Resistance make me want to die.

      A lot of times, my friends just want to sit around and play board games, and I'm trying to build up a list of games I like to play so I can join in. Any advice for getting used to them/learning to play in advance, or games that are fun for serious board gamers, but still sort of low pressure?

      Thanks!

      What video games that are coming out soon do you have your eye on?

      There's a co-op game for the Switch coming out next year called Rite of Ilk that I think would be fun. I don't have a Switch yet but I'll probably be getting one in a couple months.

      Also, still waiting patiently for Miegakure like it was Godot.

    8. Alternatives to older games that were amazing to play

      Some games were just magical to play and yet have never really had something come out which rivaled them or even recreated that experience to some extent. Which games would you say provide that...

      Some games were just magical to play and yet have never really had something come out which rivaled them or even recreated that experience to some extent. Which games would you say provide that for the following, if any?

      • Black & White / Populous (Good God games are hard to find, and Godus was just disappointing)
      • Xwing vs. Tie Fighter (Nothing so satisfying as capital ship destruction!)
      • Master of Orion 2 (All around fun dynamics)
      • Star Control 2 - (Tons of Humor, interesting back stories)

      What do you wish had a modern day equivalent, and does it?

      I'd like to see everyone favorite games to start a discussion and maybe get some recommendations. My favorite game is either the pokemon series or skyrim. I've played pokemon all my life but skyrim was my first big RPG, which I loved, I have owned it on 4 different platforms!

    10. Switch owners, what are your thoughts on the Mario Tennis Aces demo?

      I love the gameplay and overall feel of the game but the online lag is unbearable at times and the lack of local 2P play doesn't help in that regard. Still, as long as the final game has more...

      I love the gameplay and overall feel of the game but the online lag is unbearable at times and the lack of local 2P play doesn't help in that regard.

      Still, as long as the final game has more stages and some more characters (where is Luigi?) I'll probably buy it to play with the gf.

      What did you think of the game?

    12. Games alike to EDF 4.1?

      My friends and I just finished our first run through EDF 4.1, and we had a blast. We each accumulated about 60 hours in the game doing so. Some of that was probably spent goofing around on other classes or strengthening up a bit for the three or four missions we got stuck on. All in all though, I'm amazed that it took us that long to get through.

      Actually, I'd say that's my response to this game in general. For something I had never really heard of, it was surprisingly good. The game was ridiculous at the start with the giant bugs but as it went it somehow just got crazier and crazier. The scale of the game was just fantastic in terms of enemy variety and size. The hilarity of the B movie writing paired with the outrageous gameplay made it an uproar between the four of us.

      The progression system was decent and probably the weakest point. The sheer amount of equipment was a big plus, since it's always exciting to see something new at the end of a mission and find out if it's any good or not, but it was pretty easy to identify an optimal strategy for each mission. There were some classes of weapons (for ranger at least) that were outright useless in a practical sense, which is disappointing. The variety in weapon design is great, but it's unfortunate that it couldn't be more balanced.

      Are there any other games that really scratch this itch? I can think of a lot of four-player co-op games that don't really fill that void. EDF is too fast-paced, has too many good "wtf moments", and has too enjoyable a progression system. For those of y'all on ~ who have played it: what other games did you enjoy that were sort of alike to EDF 4.1?

      Could be something, could be nothing. But the rumour mill has been strong for an upcoming major announcement at E3, and stores/companies get information so they can put up their product pages early to switch on at the time of announcement. This may be a legitimate mistaken leak.

    14. Would you support an increase in price of games ($80-$100 standard) in exchange for no microtransactions and free DLC?

      In other words, just having the game be complete, with expansions. Games have gotten more expensive to make over the years, but the price has largely remained the same. This is what has caused...

      In other words, just having the game be complete, with expansions. Games have gotten more expensive to make over the years, but the price has largely remained the same. This is what has caused microtransactions to become so widespread.
