"621…I’ll give you a reason to exist. Let’s get to work."ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON engages the enemy on August 25, 2023.

Really cool video making use of a tool to count the actual pixels of boss health bars as opposed to relying on the damage screen at the end which can be pretty unreliable.

Feelsbadman for Titans a bit though :(

Edit:

Was true. 1000% was the dirtbag who harassed DMG and his wife, which played a role in his leaving.

Honestly screw people like this. Sets an interesting precedent for the future.

Interested to see how often uniques drop from Helltide chests. Could be an interesting way to target farm.

A new threat is corrupting Sanctuary.#DiabloIV Season of the Malignant is coming July 20th. Will you be ready?Visit diablo.com to test your fate in #DiabloIV...

As Resident Evil and Street Fighter flourish, Capcom has said sequels to more obscure franchises could happen, including Sengoku Basara.

Possible explanation for whatever is going on with Diggs.

Good to hear. Arcane has made some stellar titles over the years. It would be incredibly reactionary to shutter the studio for Redfall.

Feels like this has been a little bit slept on. Looks promising! Decent pedigree from the devs having done the first Lords of the Fallen and The Surge series.

Looks to be moving away from the Soulslike direction their recent titles have taken and more towards a more conventional action RPG. Movement looks cool!

Lot of JRPG stuff at this Xbox Event but this is the most interesting thing so far for me!

It's been a bit of time. What are peoples overall thoughts about the new dungeon?

Disclaimer I only have two clears but I thought it was....mostly excellent really.

The past year has been really rough for me in terms of raid/dungeon content. Neither Spire of the Watcher or Root of Nightmares really hit for me for a variety of reasons. Went into Ghosts expecting it to be a trend that continued, but walked away super impressed.

The scale of it all was super impressive and I loved seeing a new style of environment delivered in the unique palette Destiny uses.

The mechanic itself was pretty simple, but the way they dressed it up worked pretty well.

...only real complaint about it that I have is that the first encounter drags a little bit. If it ended one cycle early it would feel a lot better IMO.

Was not a fan of the first game, but this looks completely different and a toooon better.

Prices are in euros

Standard Edition: 69.99 PC | 79.99 on Xbox

Premium Edition: 104.99 PC | 114.99 Xbox

Collector's Edition: 299.99 on both platforms.

What's everyone on /m/gaming playing lately?

I'm still making my way through the Diablo IV campaign, really enjoying that but looking forward to blasting and figuring out if I enjoy the endgame more than anything at this point. I'm a binge Path of Exile player but the past few leagues haven't really done it for me. It's been nice to play an ARPG again and I'm enjoying D4's slower pace. Zoom zoom is great in POE, but it's nice to get back to basics a little bit.

Went with Whirlwind Barbarian. Know it's meta, but Cyclone Slayer is my favorite POE build so I'm just trying to enjoy my time as the overpowered class rather than fighting it haha.

Played through the Lies of P demo as well and thought it was mostly great. Not the greatest example of gameplay for the genre IMO, but the production values and the vibe were stellar.

How about you guys?

Hey this place is still pretty new!

As far as I can see, this is the only spot on the forum/link aggregator fediverse space for this game. Think the way to grow things like this is with higher effort posts, so here's my attempt at that.

Here are some links I think are extremely useful to Destiny players as well as a description of what they do/are!

DIM: Destiny Item Manager

https://app.destinyitemmanager.com

An essential resource for all Destiny players. DIM allows easy management of your items from a browser window but also packs many other powerful features. Loadout management, appraisal of weapon rolls, and other quality-of-life features are highlights.

D2Armorpicker

https://d2armorpicker.com/

Incredible build crafting resource. D2Armorpicker will allow you to specify the stat profile you are looking for with an exotic and search all the armor you own to see stat possibilities. D2Armorpicker will account for stat benefits/detractions from fragments if specified. Start here when making a new build!

light.gg

https://www.light.gg/

A general-purpose Destiny 2 database. light.gg indexes all obtainable items in the game. Players often use this to check what's new in a season. light.gg will also list items currently available from vendors like Xur and the Gunsmith. It offers an appraisal of these weapons as well, but be warned: the appraisal is based on the raw popularity of perks and often misses nuances.

d2foundry

https://d2foundry.gg/

A D2Gunsmith replacement. Allows you to see what rolls on weapons, how perks affect their stats, and offers community research into how perks work. Filtering weapons based on their available perks, frame, and element allows you to find a weapon to complete your build.

....whew! That about covers it on my end. Anything you think I missed?

Little ahead of schedule on this one haha.

Trailer for P3 Reload is in the article and https://streamable.com/ta66ul if you would like to watch it early.

Looks cool! Appears to be the same engine/style as Persona 5. Should breathe new life into a classic game.

Summer Games Fest ends with a banger!
