@Elodin I normally waste an inordinate amount of time re-rolling characters. Origin Characters are the perfect solution for indecisive types, I've found haha
@MFTWrecks, I didn't ask for an apology, mate; no need for one. I owned up to my mistake, so not sure what you're really after. For the record, I probably wrote 100k words on the subject in the last two months, which occasionally results in my thinking an update came out several days earlier than it actually did. Like you said, lets try and keep things in perspective
@Stevemalkpus I think so, yeah. Overwatch is Blizzard as well, so that would make sense. There are other outliers as well, but I don't think that makes the statement incorrect?
@StrawberryTurtle Just some perspective on that point, I've barely spent a dozen hours like actually playing Diablo since reviewing it and writing guides, most of that before the day one patch. Reviewed multiple other games since, in addition to the games I'm playing personally (not to mention being married, with a baby haha). I wouldn't feel well-informed enough to re-review the state of the game every month, and I'd sound like a fool trying I think MaxRoll is probably the closest for that kind of focus but
@Triumph741 I've been playing Baldur's Gate games alone for more than two decades, and with Larian at the helm, have no reason to think this will be an either/or situation. They've been putting in the work!
@MasterChiefWiggum @AhmadSumadi While a matter of heated debate amongst word-nerds, the usage has grown to include emphasis in informal settings (check usage c. colloquial for examples)
@Ryall @Alex_P My apologies! It is just the PS5 version available; I've updated the article, my bad. It's on Xbox One and was supposed to come at a later date, but I couldn't find anything recent from the devs on the matter
@everynowandben ... but it is a thing; someone did get Bloodborne running on a PS5, and that's the story here. Not all relevant information needs to be in the headline, either; that's what the body of the article is for
@ear_wig a gentle rebuttal, it's an enticing headline, not a deceiving one. It would be deceiving to say, "Bloodborne Now Playable on PS5" or something. Lance himself didn't add either in his own wording, in video or Tweet, I might add.
@michael2008ish @splat My apologies; you are entirely correct! Must need another coffee Suppose we will just repeat the D3 experience then haha. I've removed my comment to avoid any confusion!
@Don_Corleone @AdamNovice I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting this beautiful, wholesome interaction under this video, but it makes me think there is hope for us all yet haha
@ORO_ERICIUS If you are even remotely interested, I'd highly recommend Divinity 2. Obviously wildly different to Diablo, but similarly complex. One of my all-time favourites!
@PsBoxSwitchOwner hey mate, yeah Ubisoft's fiscal year runs March to March, so either 24 or 25 could be correct. But Kotaku's sources at the company are leaning towards earlier in 2024, which really just means anytime after that March
@Ralizah I've updated it to read "mostly reliable", as I think your points are fair. However, he is or was considered to be reliable by outlets and writers I trust (as evidenced by the other sites you will see cover this). I don't claim to be an expert on Nintendo, though
@Yozora146_ I went with Voltron (Noun. (informal) A group of things that are more powerful when combined) because its a Saturday and I loved the cartoon
@Ixxtabb Hi mate, I got my information from Naughty Dog itself, which states explicitly in the below blog post (second paragraph) that work was done in-house at Naughty Dog
@djlard haha yes it's a strategy RPG, you could also refer to it as TRPG (tactical), both terms are largely interchangeable. Along with CRPG (computer) and JRPG (Japanese) its just a shorthand way of describing a genre
