I really need to catch up on that series. I would be floored if they took one of Brent Weeks book series and made it into an anime much like Castlevania.

However I'd at least hope we get some AC parts/weapons drops as DLC and some new arenas.

I hope so. It's my first AC game (unless you count Metal Wolf Chaos) but it's so fun I can't put it down... even having outgrown the need for the Gats and Songbirds. (I use smaller machine guns and the Truneos along with the Coral Moonlight Sword as my LH alt now, on a hybrid STEEL HAZE ORTUS / HAL 826 frame.)

They could always release new story paths, the 3 in game already are fine but none are particularly satisfying to me personally. If nothing else I'd be over the moon if they added Metal Wolf as useable parts (and they were good, of course).

Well even normal mobs hit like Mack trucks there so CC was super important. I loved having the ranger bring back 9 mobs and then locking down 7 and charming 1 to help the party beat up the 9th. Especially because one of my hubby's chars was a mage so I got the good mage weapons for the charmed pet. But I think I just don't look for slow camp and grind in MMOs anymore, which is why I was incredibly bored in Eureka and to a lesser extent Bozja. I like jumping in and taking bite-sized chunks, like when we first got LDoN in EQ.

I'll probably just grind in the Silent Hope demo.

I would kill for a real good Dynasty Warriors game. I think Samurai Warriors for the PS2 was the least one I really put time into.

I still occasionally revisit some of the older titles of the warrior series on emulators. I think 3-5 would be the peak for me if they could be modernized graphically. Modern DWs are okay... but I tend to end up staring at my husbandos than actually playing lol. Especially if its the Empire spin-off xD

I didn't get to experience SW titles as much before my PS2 starts smoking one day lmao. Good times.

The series is where my love for polearms began. It bled into the Soulsborne series as well. I like to be able to poke or a nice sweeping attack.

Enjoyed the earlier games far more than the later ones of that series, kind of gotten to a point with me that I enjoy the spin-offs more than the actual Dynasty Warriors games now

Samurai Warriors
Warriors Oorochi
Hyrule Warriors
Dragon Quest Heroes
Fate: Extella
Dynasty Warriors Gundam
Fire Emblem Warriors
Fate: Samurai Remnant
Etc...

Speaking of Dragon Quest Heroes... WHERE IS OUR FINAL FANTASY MUSOU GAME SE!!!! lol

As for me... I have recently gone back to Everquest, all 29 expansions of it, for some light nostalgia game play. I play Enchanter. I enjoy charming things. It also reminds me how much I wish we had a Necromancer type of class here.. ah well.

What will you be doing ?

I'm going to sit around bored all day waiting on the game to go live. Watch some patch note videos, Watch what Mr happy, meoni, or
Xenosys Vex are saying about ffxiv. I'll go for a walk and maybe smoke some weed.

Screw it...gonna get Samurai Warriors and play that a bit. All the talk about Dynasty/Samurai Warriors has me itching to play.

I just reached Outlands tonight so it can wait a bit as I murder a small islands population every 10 minutes playing some Samurai Warriors.

Modding and playing Cyberpunk. Then modding some more. And then playing again. Work to play, play to work. The cycle never ends when trying to create the perfect game.

Probably replay Another Code (Trace Memory) on DS. Lovely little point+click adventure game that's getting a remake (along with its sequel) for the Switch in January.

Could never really get into Everquest for some reason.

This coming from someone that played numerous MMO's

Ultima Online
FFXI
Ragnarok Online
Grand Fantasia
RF Online
Eden Eternal
Shaiya
Perfect World
Allods
Wildstar
WoW (though not touched since about a month after Lich King launched)
Requiem: Bloodymare
FlyFF
Dofus
Dofus2
Wakfu
Wizard 101 (Because I had like 40 free item codes from something and felt like using them)
Phantasy Star Online
Phantasy Star Universe
Guild Wars
Guild Wars 2
Phantasy Star Online 2
Elder Scrolls Online
Pangea
I remember trying one of those superhero ones but can't remember if it was DC Universe online or City of Heroes. Also know there were a lot more I can't remember the name of.

Was Champions the one that got nailed by one of the big comic book companies for basically putting everything a player needed to make exact copies of their franchise's characters?

Absolutely nothing, but it wasn't like I did anything before the maintenance either.

Ultima Online was fun for a while. Remember that comic Bonedewd and Platedewd? Funny stuff.

EQ got me hooked though. I loved the raiding. Racing other guilds to the dragons or raid dungeons was epic. We used to call everyone up in the middle of the night when ToV popped, or when that cleric dragon would pop to get them their epics.

Fun stuff. Its a shame no other companies ever really recaptured that.

Instancing killed the thrill of beating other guilds to weekly spawns.

Glams and paints kinda killed some of the fun too. When you saw someone in full planar armor, or other set armor, you knew what they had to do to get it.

On one side I like glamour systems simply because I've never been a fan of the cobbled together mismatched armor/clothing looks in games that generally resulted from people trying to min/max specific stats. However I preferred the older method of encouraging usage of complete armor/clothing sets via set bonuses activated by wearing multiple pieces of the set or the entire set as a whole. More so when it caused players to consider trade offs because the mixed sets would still generally be better for min/maxing specific stats, however the set bonuses for using a full set would often provide other types of useful or interesting things.

You could do that in CoX as far as I know and they were both from Cryptic so it's possible Champions got hit for it.

It was City of Heroes. They had so many options that you could make close to exact duplicates of famous comic book characters. They found middle ground by forcing players to rename if they tried to do that.
