Really, you found more than the two in Kabuki? Where did they hide the other four ones?

The other two are located at Kerry Eurodyne’s club when you complete his quest-line.

Aha! Well, figures.

Speaking of CD Project Red, if the updates I read are true, then they are currently under investigations by the Polish government. Officials from government agencies are monitoring CD Project Red's patch status for Cyberpunk.

If true, this would be the first time a national government has taken an active interest in the development of a game. I can only wonder what CD Project Red has gotten themselves into...

Into a complete overreaction by everyone on the internet and off it as well, apparently. One wonders why Fallout 76 didn't end up with the Bethesda staff being put into handcuffs...

Found a very good co-op game named Deep Rock Galactic. Essentially, you play as one of four dwarven miners, who, ahem, mine minerals. It has a decent upgrade system, different difficulty levels, a good variety of biomes and missions and the four classes play very different and have excellent synergy. I already got two friends who bought the game as well, trying to convince a fourth one out of the pack to join us for a full team.

If you do co-op stuff, I recommend you check out some videos about it on Youtube.

How is the player base for that.

6k to 7k players concurrently on Steam at all times, IIRC.

Yeah, heavily disappointed in Angry Joe at the moment. 6/10 is a joke and stems from overemotion and CYA before the mob on the internet. The game easily is still an 8/10 in its current state (except bugs).

Sorry, but I am not at all with the people who came in completely overhyped and expected the game to be everything at once. I expected The Witcher 3 as a cyberpunk game and got pretty much what I expected, except a bit worse than The Witcher 3 overall (which remains the best game I've ever played). But I never expected Cyberpunk 2077 to be GTA + System Shock + The Witcher 3 + Modern Warfare + The Second Coming of Jesus to be at once, which some people apparently did and therefore are raging and trying to destroy CD Projekt Red now. Fuck those people.

I am not in totally agreement with Joe here, but what he said has some merit.

This game was over-hyped. I know I pre-ordered the game when it became available to pre-order, and I cannot contain my own excitement when I was installing it. Then upon starting the game, glaring issues begin to appear. The most obvious was clipping issues from the trees. They were everywhere, in my room, in my car and in my ass. Not good. It took about a couple hours when Nvidia immediately released their latest driver to combat the issue. Though with that problem resolved, many others begin to surface, and it'd take me an entire day before I can finish listing them.

That being said, it's a good game. I really, really like it, but I know this game could have been handled better, much better. I personally didn't expect Cyberpunk to be the second coming of Jesus, but it was in sore need of more polish (pun intended).

The point I am trying to make is that people like Joe, who were extremely overhyped for the game, are emotionally incapable of giving the game a fair rating at this point, because their expectations were impossible to meet. And, yes, there were a lot of bugs for a lot of people.

But where I go "Well, that's curious" and move on, when I see my character clipping out sometimes of a car, Joe and cohorts have to go overboard in their reaction, because they play to a Twitch audience while livestreaming.

CDPR has to get its act together, way too many patches in such short period of time, with new peculiarities in each release.

This is not working well.

Um, no? They have released just one "major" patch in this month, with one hotfix a few days later for another single issue which popped up? World of Warcraft just released 19 hotfixes in January for a host of issues in their current add-on.

I'd say they need to release major patches at a faster rate, actually.

So, now that I've chucked the habit of World of Warcraft ("for now", as I know only all too well), I got time for some other games again.

Currently I've been playing a lot of Deep Rock Galactic, an indie co-op game, where you take a team of four dwarves into some deep core mining situations, with four specialized classes, different biomes, different mission types and some nice character progression. I managed to mobilize three other friends who have taken each one of the other classes and we've spent quite a lot of time in the last ten days or so in Teamspeak, having a ton of fun. You can play solo missions as well, if you have no friends who are currently available (honestly, keeping in touch via TeamSpeak is a great way to keep connected) and its pretty cheap on Steam, with 30 bucks being a reasonable price. There are some cosmetic DLC's, but nothing which changes the gameplay loop.

Otherwise, yesterday I finally started another campaign in Total War: Warhammer II, where I had a ton of fun playing as the Sisters of Twilight, i.e. the reworked Wood Elves. It really feels different than the other campaigns I've tried, because you are expanding only very little, playing a diplomacy game with many factions to keep your meager forces in the best places to keep your magic forests safe. I'm on turn 92 now and, aside from some re-loads due to bad decision making, am having a blast. I confederated some factions by now, so I can now field three full stacks, but two are just on guard duty in regions where I am not sure if, for example, Malekith will suddenly declare war, since his attitude has gotten progressively worse.
Also, you raze everything which is not adjacent to a main settlement. It's pretty glorious.

I currently have several options on how to proceed. I could do some battling with the Brettonians (who are curiously un-confederated at this turn and without allies), to confederate Orion. I still have to get the forest dragon for the sisters, which obliges me to attack Malekith to finish one quest objective. Since his attitude is fastly deteriorating (going down from -100 to -140 now), I could pre-empt his inevitable betrayal with one of my own and wipe out as many of his settlements to set him back and allow the High Elves to swoop in. Or I could go to Lustria, where I'd need to wipe out a few Lizardmen factions (only 12 settlements between the three of them) to get the tree there. And there are three trees in Empire / River Prince territory, which all require a heavy handed approach to get them, especially the one in the River Princes territory, who are allied with the main Dwarf faction. Hnnggh. Well, at least the Dawi are only at nine settlements now. Malekith is really the one guy to worry about the most currently, although letting those other factions grow and confederate, especially with Chaos coming, might make this a case of "waited too long" if I dither around. Maybe I should use those other two stacks for something else than just sitting on their finely shaped asses and waiting for bad stuff to happen, i.e. instead make some bad stuff happen to others.

Finished the campaign. Really wasn't that hard, I spent most of the later time sitting around, waiting for rituals of rebirth to finish. Ah, well. Not that the endgame of the other campaigns is that more interesting, where you steamroll everyone.

I appreciate the new expansion pack and what was done to overhaul the Wood Elves faction, I love the new units and new characters, but I cannot bring myself to like the Wood Elves. Maybe I am old school, but I am not used to operating an army without your standard setup. The lack of meat-shield & effective melee units in the Wood Elven army makes it difficult for me to play them effectively.

My favorite two armies in the game remain The Tomb Kings and the High Elves. I have far greater joy playing those two factions.

Honestly, archer spam is all you need to win most battles with the elves. Totally carried me through the campaign, with three or four heroes as company.

So, several teasers have been released making it quite clear that the Total War: Warhammer III announcement is imminent (probably still this week). Really looking forward to the new factions and, hopefully, some new mechanics, like reworked diplomacy!

Yeah, I heard about the possible announcement for Warhammer III, and other unsubstantiated rumors about new factions, like Cathay... or something.

I guess we will have to wait and see.

Apparently so far four Chaos factions and Kislev have been half-confirmed. We'll see in a few days, maybe even today.
