But this one? Holy shit, it was clear Ubisoft got the footnote summary of AoT and tried to cash in on the popularity
Not only that, but they cashed in while the iron is completely cold now. Most people have moved on from AoT already and it concluded 2 years ago. I never liked it to begin with though. I did try, but it was doing nothing for me, and I dropped out around the second season.

Returned to Firelink Shrine to find the bonfire off. I didn't even remember the maiden behind the bars. Was gonna pass her to go to "Ghost" Londo later. She's dead. I also couldn't find Patches in the Catacombs, who if I remember correctly kills her.

Also don't remember it being so much work to go all the way back up after killing the spider woman boss, Qualag or whatever her name was. Thought I'd warp back or return with an elevator or something. And I can't remember in which direction the second bell is. Up, somewhere.

So many hours, so many playthroughs, and I can't remember.
Not to begrudge when for once you seem to be having fun with a game, but surely this should go in the "What are you playing"-thread?

It was a mistake. This is the only forum I use with a one hour edit limit.

Fellow pc gamers, if you have plans to upgrade your pc, now is the time.

Well, actually, the time was a couple months ago, since DRAM prices have been shooting upwards for about a month now. I briefly touched upon this in the Steam Machine thread, but there is a big shortage of memory chips because the AI companies are buying up all the stock for their datacenters and manufacturers can't keep up with demand, or possibly don't want to so prices artificially stay high.

Storage prices are also going up, and it's predicted that it won't be long before anything else that uses memory chips will get (further) price hikes too, like GPUs and possibly consoles and mobile devices. And chances are things will not be improving anytime soon, maybe for years to come, unless the AI bubble collapses. Pretty much all the gaming-focused tech channels are advising anyone with plans to upgrade to not wait.

I myself had planned my new build for next summer, but I've already bought some components. The memory sticks I bought three weeks ago are now double what I paid.

I knew there was a good reason I saved my 10 year old computer, gonna harvest those 16 gb of ram to make a fortune.

CDPR, please calm down. You guys are setting yourselves up for a risky plan again.
They kinda fucked themselves as soon as they went public. It’s like the “hold my beer” response after all the PC exclusive devs jumping on consoles during 7th gen.

Romeo is a Dead Man comes out February 11, 2026, at $49.99. Digital only sadly, but at least the game is self published.

I quite like the proportions they have in this trailer. The space marines still look stocky and figurine-like, but not quite silly (relatively). That said, I did not recognize the Lion at all. He looks like a random space marine, and I really thought the Emperor's own shield would have a little more aura. Exciting that it's the first ever "playable" Primarch, but a bit of an underwhelming reveal.

All that to say that I probably won't play this because Dawn of War isn't really my thing. But I am genuinely happy to see more 40K video games succeeding.

Welp, me being a Korean means that I am obligated to get this game! /s

In all seriousness, I will need to see the gameplay first
Feels weird saying this to a Korean, but I always thought CoD or Battlefield should have had a game set in Korea by now.

This should be interesting
Expect everything to be cancelled after Season 2.
Well that sucks for MK. Expect more bs I guess.
Max ain't happy about this either. He's talking about the fight game side, and how this merger effects it.

There are also rumors of this acquisition will cause the subscription price to rise. While it's only a rumor, I definitely think it will most likely to happen.

I mean just look at what MS is doing after buying Acti-Blizz; Nothing but price increase on everything
