Remnant II second DLC is out

If you mean The Thousand Year Door, then that ran at 60FPS on GameCube. ... runs off to find proof.

Its the only game I play these days, the subreddit is gone into absolute meltdown over it.

Beyond charging €250 for a game being disgraceful what's your take.

I'm in two minds over it to be honest.

I originally got the lowest tier, I think it was €30 i paid at the time, as its reputation as a hardcore game was daunting to me. I got it, put a good bit of time in, and felt that I could see the value in upgrading to the €150 tier (EOD), as while not exactly pay to win (you still get killed the same as everyone else), the advantage of the bigger stash size make it a bit easier to stockpile quest items in advance - just to explain this, say for example a quest asks you to hand in packs of food, you wont get this quest from the vendor until a later point, but if you know its coming up, you can set aside the food as you find it, and then turn it in immediately, rather than starting looking once you get the quest. Its also worth noting, that almost everything in the expensive edition can be earned in game eventually. This really only helps people who are on their second or third wipe, as they know what to look out for.Future DLC was also included as part of the EOD edition. I was also happy to support the game, as I'd spent more over the years on call of duty titles that didnt give a fraction of the enjoyment tarkov does. I think it was around january, the EOD version was discontinued from the store, under the guise that early access was coming to a close, and the game was moving towards an official release, and they no longer wanted to be selling DLC in advance.

In the meantime, their side offering, area has failed, likely creating the need to generate revenue, in the space of a few months, MTX have been rolled out in the form of stash increases (affects no one), clothing (affects no one) but now, the new edition, has imo crossed the line , buy adding items that cant be achieved by regular users - more items slots on your character, a radio device that makes enemies have less aggro, etc. This is definitely unbalanced, and there has been mention of things like priority matchmaking queues coming down the tracks in future also.

The community is passionate, and its fair to say, most want the game to be completed, and be a success, but the current messaging and interaction with the devs has been extremely off-putting.

I dont regret buying the game for a second, I've more than got my moneys worth out of it, but I wont be giving them any more money. I do think a subscription model might have been a better call, like an MMO, but Its hard to know if the game will ever be finished now.

The bit that stuck out to me about the whole thing was that people who bought the EOD edition did so with the understanding that all future DLC was going to be free, and then the devs were trying to say the new gamemode just didn't count as DLC.

Sure, it seems to be substantial DLC, but claiming you don't think of it as DLC doesn't mean the players who have already spent a lot of money on the game don't think of it as DLC, especially since by all common usage of the term, it's clearly DLC.

Wonder what it could be, considering the game is 3 years old and already got a PC release. I would have thought any sequel would be announced in a State of Play or similar. But given the date, and the eyes in the image would appear to be Selene's (the dark right eye), it does seem to be Returnal-related.

Xbox showcase is on June 9th followed by a showcase for an unknown game which going by the logo and colour is probably CoD: Black Ops related.

Edit: The unknown game is all but confirmed to be CoD.

About time. It's got to come with a GP announcement otherwise wtf is going on.

Starfield update now has 60 FPS option on XBox Series X, detailed surface maps, ... and vehicles on the way.

Makes sense for MS. Their games are getting good reviews on PS. It's all about building up a brand name and franchises ... so the more people on Sony and Nintendo platforms that play MS games the better. The hardware doesn't really matter.
