Gaming thread

It looks like Borderlands 2 will receive some paid DLC in the near future. I've followed this guy's channel with his update, leaks, and speculation; all signs point to new content. Hopefully Gearbox won't pull a Blizzard/ Diablo scene at this year's Pax East.

 
Path of Exile 3.6 releases tomorrow, together with a new league. Friggin' get on it already. It's free to play, and the microtransactions are largely cosmetics -- no pay to win at all.

It's Diablo but on steroids. It's also much more complex, so check out a guide. I played years ago and got bored of it, but I came back to it a month ago and it's progressed massively.


 
Playing Hearts of Iron 4 with the new DLC...bit of a learning curve. Anyway, 1937, playing as Germany, and I receive a notification that makes my heart a flutter:

"Pakistan declared war on India."

Oh. Fuck. YES. I don't even care for one second how the AI put us here, I only care that we are here and "here" is my happy place. Send one motorised and four panzer divisions as volunteers....to INDIA. Problem solved, problem staying solved, Pakistan delenda est.

Anyone got a good rec on Division 2? Didn't play the first one, read a couple reviews of the second one but was wondering if any of you all had it or enjoyed playing it or could compare it to any shooters out there already.

Its not bad, I also Didn't play the first one. But I played closed/open beta for Div 2 and I really enjoyed it. Only thing I can really compare it to is Freedom Fighters on the PS2.

I was gonna get that one but opted for metro exodus not a bad game
 
About God damned time, D3 is getting stale for me again and I need something to give my life to once more.

This D3 season I've gone through and played one or two build from every class except Witch Doctor (and I'll probably make a run with it in the last few weeks). I'd forgotten how crappy the drop rate ca be at GR 35's and the like, but without some set pieces you can't go very far solo...but you won't have the set pieces and legendaries because of the horrible drop rate. That or in my best conspiracy theory, the RNG is coded not to drop what your class requires.

Still, having never played a Captain America Crusader build...it is kind of fun.
 
April 3rd, Gearbox is dropping a remastered (with some new content/ features) Borderlands, BL2, the Pre-sequel, AND the BL3 release date announcement.
Time to get my loot on.

GUNS WITH LEGS!

I am a bit disappointed Tiny Tina doesn't seem to be one of the playable vault hunters; here's hoping she will be with DLC

Dont get me wrong I still enjoy D3, I just can't grind it as much as I used to. It's like that bad ex that you know is terrible for you, but you keep going back to for a month or two at a time.
 
Epic is pure trash. For those of you not up to speed, do some research on its security issues, how it enumerates running processes, DLL's, takes usage data from Steam, etc. It is part data miner, part malware, part crap software...and the parent company has ties to the Chinese gov't.

I am really jonesing to play BL3, but not so bad as to install the Epic store.
 
Yeah, I was just as bummed out when Metro Exodus was pulled off steam and instead left to rot on that Epic Game Store due to the contract they signed with them. Welp, looks like I won't be picking either Borderlands 3 or Metro Exodus up until they hit steam. *sigh*
