I feel like the only way I survive about 50% of difficulty spikes in Bioware games is to take advantage of loopholes in fight designs or even bugs. While this makes me feel incompetent, the spikes are so ridiculous I don’t feel that bad about it. Still, I am surprised how often I do this. Does anyone else find you frequently exploit flaws to beat hard fights in games?

One of my friends the other day mentioned taking a break from ESO subscription and thus not playing at all for now. I asked her about this, as I thought ESO is free after the initial payment. She explained that it is, but due to paid crafting (I think?) features, so many things break without the optional sub she’s paid for that her existing character would be borderline unplayable. I wondered how common situations like these are with freemium games. Have you ever ended up relying so much on optional paid features in a game that you didn’t feel you could play without them?

It's something that's worth every moment spent on the game. I do that as well because it's been a fulfilling one ever since.

You're probably missing the head shot kills. It's the perfect way to take any zombie down!!

Nope, I have not. I even left my PS2 as normal and black as shades 😉 I have seen good work but I rather look at screen and play then looking at the artwork 🙂

the story is amazing, the online version is kinda left out by the developers, we haven't had any updates for a long time lol, but I don't dislike the game. but hey we all have an opinion.

I'll try to get a picture when I get the Chevy in GT6.

I want to be banned, let that person who will be banning me come forward to my 🏠 and banned me a month because I'm adding weight, lol.

I enjoy many things hobbies not just video games, in fact playing video games isn't my best hobby, rather playing soccer is my best. I was loving PES series earlier time not now anymore, because Konami ruined it. I love playing and watching soccer, then video game came second, singing/rapping comes second, dancing came third, chasing after women came last xD.

My friend even bought his Gran Turismo 7 at $59 for PS4 at the local online store. I am looking up to ordering for mine soon.

I think that it's wasn't a mistake from your own part because at that time, it was quite high in its price.

I can't wait to see the beautiful picture of the one you would eventually purchase back once you have the cash for it. I might play NFS Underground this night before going to sleep.

My cousin brother who's a fast gamer informed me that he has already completed the game FAR: Changing Tides. According to him, the main story took him about 7 hours to get it done.

I don't want to derail the topic any further but they are not the same thing. Scalpers sell the original product at higher prices while cracked applications or games are copies of the original product that was bypassed by reverse engineering. I hope that's clear now? Let's stick to topic alright.

One of the best and worst things to come to MMOs is "catch-up systems," wherein after each major patch or toward the end of an expansion you can essentially do minor tasks to be brought near your peers. You're essentially playing less of the game to get equal reward, minus the satisfaction. It's good because it saves time, but it's bad because there's no sense of accomplishment and if you want that sense of accomplishment it's too late because the old content has been nerfed or it takes too long to get a group together for it. For most players, catch-up systems are unnecessary. Why do you need raid-level gear when you don't raid, for instance? I used to be one of those players who felt entitled because I paid the same subscription fee. MMOs are getting better for this though, by introducing content you can do any time, any place, at your own speed and it have no bearing on the highest end content. You can chop down trees to your heart's content and get the Tree Chop Downerer title so long as there are trees to chop down. WoW is abysmal for this though because "it would cost a raid tier," as if raids are somehow a valuable currency to barter with. /rant.

With The Elder Scrolls Online, the big problem is the unlimited inventory space that comes with the subscription, a core function of those who play the game by crafting (and it's as valid a means of progression as combat). Nobody suffers the subscription drawbacks more than the crafters and gatherers who need it to save themselves time. A game I did a Steam review on was Warhammer: Chaos & Conquest, where you have to pay to keep up. It's an unending arms race where you don't really get to play the game because if you do, your shields go down and you're basically a target for farmers. The higher up the rankings you go, the more your warband(?) will require you to pay to follow orders like "attack this clan," "upgrade this building," "put your shields up" and so forth. Such games are attrocious, and I'm doing well to limit my purchases in a similar game, IdleMafia, on mobile.

Im tired of dealing with ads in facebook and youtube and now we are going to have to deal with this on games as well ?? next thing you know we are going to have to start paying for yet another service to get rid of the ads, how clever of sony....

As long as it's only in "free to play" I'm not to fussy, but we all know that's just their way of testing the water. All the the up front purchases, DLC's, season passes, service charges for online, micro-transactions, special editions, product placements and tax dodging just isn't enough apparently. They have to include adds in the game's to! Fuck gaming.

A quick note @Ryan Blake, it good practice to include links in gaming news topics. Since you mentioned "Verge" in the the title, I'll assume it's this this article from The Verge that you are referring too. This has no place in a game that is pay to play or that you need PS+ to play online, simple as that. Same story on Xbox with Xbox live. Paying to watch ads is where I draw the line.

That's cool, thanks for coming in the conversation and answering swiftly. I was thinking that, 'Outage is a different game all together.

This is a very big thing for the younger one's because they need to learn how to deal with losses, otherwise it's going to be a big problem for them and it's your duty to help them understand it when playing with them.

I'm not a series loyalist. I don't care what series or brand a racing game belongs in as long as it's great. My favorite racing game is Test Drive Unlimited, but I didn't like the sequel as much, its physics was a bit dumbed down, and hasn't improved on the original in any way. Need For Speed used to be my favorite series, but that ended after the fifth game, Porsche Unleashed. I also enjoyed Gran Turismo up to the 6th game, but I think Sport was an insult to traditional GT fans, and GT7 is a terrible game with an identity crisis. A wannabe sim that fails at being both a sim and an arcade game. So I can't say I unconditionally like any series.

Of course yes, although there are times when I would really prefer to play alone but apart from that, it's going to be good to play with my blood.

Is worth it indeed with all the positives I've learned and heard about the console. I love quality handmade consoles and Nintendo switch is one of them.

Most people don't fancy getting Nintendo Switch because of how expensive it is but they forget how it's a better gaming platform than smartphone.

Most of us got introduced to playing games by our friends because our parents back them believed so much its a bad thing for a kid to do that.

Lol, no matter the time it got started, what matters you've found time and energy to keep gaming and living your dream of being happy in your life.
