Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=81965640&f=160 All is answered in that thread.

elaborate on the acronyms. I don’t know what those mean. But if I’m gathering it right you were accused of some sort of insider trading?

I dunno, Athena has always had her fair share of haters for quite some time. Doubt it’s due to KOF XIV.

Who hates on Athena?

I’m gonna rent it from Redbox next week and play through the story on console. Dependent on how it is, I may temporarily halt my new games from EA pledge and buy it.

edit: Is Path of Exile available for consoles at all?

It’s been on PS4 and XB1 for a long time now, yes

People like myself who hate idols and idiotic references to Greek mythology.

Well, we already know that you are a pleb with pleb taste, so that is not a surprise.

They don’t hate on Athena.

They hate on PSYCHO BALL!

I remember her being really good in 94 or 96 I think?

Was she busted in XIV?

Most tier lists place Athena in the upper mid tier list, so it’s definetly not that.

But I gander that Saitsu has a point, and is mostly because throughout the years, Athena’s gameplan usually revolves around PSYCHO BALL spam. And SNK tends to hire VA’s who REALLY make an emphasis on reciting that line in the most annoying high-pitched voice ever.

But on the same token, she does have that Japanese schoolgirl loli appeal that everyone loves, as well as a bikini-goddess alternate, so there’s that too.

I personally don’t mind her that much. Iori ranks MUCH higher in my disdain list.

I loooooved her design in XII. She was stylized for maximum kawaii in that one.

I also love Goddess Athena.

She’s up there in terms of FG waifus. Lol

Path of Exile 2 Official Trailer - YouTube Official PoE 2 trailer(looks amazing, dem D4 tier animations and graphics)

Path of Exile 2 Gameplay Preview - YouTube Gameplay preview

Path of Exile: Conquerors of the Atlas Official Trailer - YouTube New expack in a few weeks

Path of Exile Mobile Official Announcement - YouTube PoE mobile. More jabs at Blizzard and the Diablo mobile game.

TLDR is I would trade in-game currency for ā€œforum goldā€ on that website, which you can use in a shitload of different games. Doing ā€œreal money tradesā€ is against the ToS(forum gold is a real money trade to them which is hilarious) and they will axe accounts over it.

I did it here and there and I guess someone reported me or something. My biggest issue is that they GGPO’d my account with no 2nd chances, even after I dumped 400+ dollars and thousands of hours into the game itself. On one hand I’m pretty hype for the new expack+PoE 2, but on the other hand I’m salty that my account is gone, especially since all MTX carries over. My characters would have looked ridiculous with the new animations in PoE2. :rofl: :cry:

POE2 looks cool, but is it really D4 tier graphics? How different does it look from the original POE?

Yeah, definitely D4 tier in terms of graphics and animations.

Click the 4th link, mobile PoE looks almost on par with current PoE. Then click the 1st link and compare em, the jump in graphics and animations are huge.

I think both PoE2 and Diabro 4 look amazing. I’m still super salty at the PoE ban though. :rofl:

RIP. That sucks, brohemian rhapsody

One thing that D4 will have over PoE(I believe) is an actual offline mode. I wouldn’t even mind if single player saves/characters were different to online ones in D4 so you don’t have the silly hacked item situation that console D3 had.

I invested in an onrine-ownree gaem and in the end there’s nothing to show for it after being banned, or if the servers were to ever shut down. Things like this just make me double-down on physical copies of things. I’ve bought like nothing digitally this gen on PS4, and if PC games still had actual physical copies I’d have opt for that over Steam everytime.
