What games are coming and are you still excited for any of them?
Was the wait for this troubled title worth it?
It's put itself in like with Warframe, but can it compete?
Sometimes nostalgia is nice, but is it enough to get you to try out a new free-to-play MMO?
As for dragon's prophet i have to say(as far as this gameplay from this video)i dont think i will like it but i will wait who knows i might like it in the end.
As far as pets i gotta say(and this is my A-Bomb)Scarlet Blade good game and all but its pet system is just i dont like it at all(at leat not in the closed beta)u got a robot following you around and you gotta feed it cause otherwise u cant summon it.The pet gives u a bit of bonus when summoned(a bit of hit points and mana points)but it couldnt help u fight.Thing is i dont like pet systems that much i dont mind them when done but when done they way i like them(yep i know its selfish but bare with me)so technecly what i mean is as long as pets fight with you i do not care if u had to feed them or if your pet is spongebob or whatever but you remove the option of pet helping you fight you get thumbs down immediatly from me, i know its selfish but hey thats me.
For Scarlet Blade i have to agree its a grind fest and you went out of quest really early after lvl 15+ especially after 20+ it was just like do your quests(story ones)and fill your bar till like 40%? i think?maybe a bit more depending on the level you are but there wasnt enough xp in the quests so its becoming a mob grind after that and i will probably not try it in open beta if it stays like this cause as i've said quest grind no problem(for me)mob grind is more like bye bye.I can imagine myself playing this(if some stuff get fixed including grinding)but i really cant imagine myself getting 6 classes to lvl 29 *looks at ren* i just couldnt personally thats all.
About Tera and POE i am suprised about POE tbh not tera then again just cause i didnt like POE doesnt mean noone else should but ya POE is good but i dont like that u gotta depend on gems i think?to have a skill.I didnt really like diablo(probably gonna get a lot of trolls for this)so i am not impressed i didnt like POE but tera as u guys said looks like you a hero that u gonna save the world or something while in POE u just running around scared to die :P.If i had to say personally Tera>POE unfortunatelly i cant run Tera but oh well what can u do.Thumbs up for both games for now and good job i am glad they both did they good.
Cant say anything about planetside 2 honestly my pc is good but not that good so never tryed it or could.Looks good but i aint gonna say anything unless i am able to upgrade my pc and try it.
About my bombs i already gave 1 A-Bomb i will give 1 more i played Warface recently they sent me a mail for joining the beta and i have no idea if its my browser(used firefox)or my internet or my computer but i did the tutorial and i couldnt join a game after like 30m of tryin and then after i joined 1 i died like 2-3 times from sniping campers and then it ended.My A-Bomb actually goes for only being able to use mozilla or chrome to play it and no other broswers(explorer or opera and ya i know noone really uses them but i am just sayin)and for making it really hard to join a game.Overall thumbs down for warface as far as the browsers they support.Da-Bomb for you guys again for keeping this show going(i know it gets repetitive i know shush and just take my bomb)and not letting it die.Maybe u not MM but spunk you doing a really good job and so do the co-hosts.
Question Of The Week:I dont mind at all to be honest as long as they support me in a fight i am cool with pets i dont care if they are character bound but i quess if they are character bound then ya i quess it gives a unique aspect to the whole "pet system" feauture.
And i will close with BACON POWA HELL YA

Apart from Pokemon, I've only played a few games with pet systems. MapleStory doesn't count, as the pet system was severely gimped without paying for all the extra bits and pieces, while in GW2, only the ranger class had pets (collecting them was fun though). I'd honestly prefer to see pets NOT be a tank, as that makes the game far too easy. Pets should be able to take some damage, but not to that extreme, while being able to deal out some damage as well, but not to the extreme of being able to give you free farm/grind.
For the question of the week - i personally prefer fleshed out pet system when youre pet actually contributes to kills and aids in fight, where every character can posses one. Insted of just being there and being esentialy useless. I have nothing agenst summoner classes tho.
so my da bomb goes to loadout for the awsome gameplay and animations and for the fact that if u know how to play a shooter u know to play it so bacicly i mean i like the fact that it tests skill not lvl releted like a lvl 50 can beat a lvl 1 no way for the lvl 1 to give a fight so i love the game im gonna use it for passing no rift weeks without killing myself :)
