I'm baaack to weekly uploads again! This holiday season is going to be SWAMPED with loads of goodies for MMOs. I'm hyped for Endwalker next week, NGS's new update, and why on earth is Red 7$ for the Yoroi armor in Halo Infinite T_T.

While we wait for huge content updates I think it would be a good opportunity for us to have the base pso2 collabs in global like attack on titan recently but more frequent.
Yesss, I would love for the FFXIV collab to hit PSO2 Global so everyone can experience the Odin fight. It was legit designed 1:1 to the FFXIV version of Odin's fight, but now completely in PSO2 and it was a SICK event. One of my favorite collabs in gaming + it gave the iconic FFXIV ARR relic armors & weapons as costumes. Another great collab which may not happen due to how rights are handled for this franchise, is Evangelion's collab. It was by far my favorite collab since I'm an EVA simp and the fights + scratch was sooooooo goood too. But the real collab I want the most which is never going to happen, and if it does happen I'll actually put money into the game. Is Aria The Scarlet Ammo. This collab is suuuuuper old and it gave out Aria's Pistols x Katanas as a weapon camo and IMO it's the best TMG camo in the game. My PSO2 JP Character has them as weapons and it makes me sad every time I think about how it's never coming to NA LOL. I think they did a revival of the collab shortly before NGS came out in JP, but it never came out in global T_T.
Sure! I've been a degenerate playing too much FFXIV but now I've actually returned to NGS LOL. I'm working on an update for every single class ATM, and once the april PA update drops, I'll attach that info to every guide and just release it all at once!
I think you nailed it. Retem was announced in the roadmap and worked on heavily for a long time before they addressed the issue of low content on headline; It's very unlikely that retem itself will be anything other than Aelio 2.0. The main way to keep players interesting is likely gonna be the title system since a lot of that progress was lost x.x. Silver lining; DS4 managed to work on pso1 and I've gotten into that again (not that you really need ds4 on pso1 but it's a bit more convenient lol). The private server I play on is about to start the xmas event too so once I burn retem's content in 2 days I can focus on that. Also I still think Sega is looking at premium all wrong. They could just occam's razor premium out of the game and it would benefit everyone, themselves included without having to do any real work. Though, I do admit I'd feel a bit cheated if they just up and got rid of premium with no compensation even if I know it benefits me in the long run lol. Human loss aversion x.x EDIT: also, your sunset. Classic dressing music.
Hi Hi Argon! Yeah I really hope pt2 and the future updates drop more content for players to do. I don't think it's feasible for SEGA to suddenly take the feedback over the last couple of months and suddenly pump out a huge amount when this roadmap was already pretty much set in stone. Buuut Pt2 & Beyond might start implementing some endgame gameplay loops ideally. ALSO on the topic of PSO1, I've downloaded and setup Ephinea, but ended up going down a maaaaaassive rabbit hole of old MMOs and some how ended up on a SMT Imagine revival Private server with the whole story kinda sorta translated to the latest chapter LOL. I definitely needa sit down and play PSOBB since I've been planning on it for a while and I wanna try out HuCast cause it looks realllly sick from the gameplay i've seen. On SMT Imagine btw if you're interested, the private server is called ReIMAGINE and it allows you to download + play the WHOLE client offline if you're only interested in story, but has a thriving EN & JP community if you're interested in playing with others. But back to NGS, yeah premium is veeeeery awkward in PSO2. It did have some huge benefits back in the day I'm pretty sure you remember, where you could exchange 10/11/12 stars for passes to purchase other 10/11/12 stars off the market. But after SEGA changed that, it pretty much lost it's purpose completely. I hope they do give some compensation (please no more SG, I'm so overloaded on it) if they do remove it, cause IMO it wouldn't be fair to people who bought 90 days or more.
@@everydere Endgame loop is kind of a weird concept with ngs tbh. Past games pulled it off really well because most of them were complete at launch, but doing an endgame loop in ngs now would be awkward af since you'd essentially be hardcore grinding for gear that will probably become meaningless in the face of 15-16*. As far as compensation, I'd be cool with getting some universal prize selector tickets. I'd still scratch to make some meseta all around, but getting a few extra free picks either to get stuff I want right off the bat or to make a little extra would be big worth. And no worries, whenever you're down for some BB I'll still probably be there. PSO is a game with years worth of things to work on, and HUcast is a really fun class. I will pass on the SMT message to my friends as well, I don't play it myself but I know a lot of people that are super into it :D.
@@ArgonPSO Ooo that's true NGS' isn't even close to being complete right now and even base PSO2 it took until I think episode 5-ish for weapon series to really kick in. Also universal prize selector tickets would be siiick especially if you could apply it to any scratch and just hold it until you find a scratch you like. And I'm 100% hopping onto PSOBB after December's updates die down a little LOL. FFXIV's new expansion drops this weekend, followed by NGS' update which is going to take a looot of my time.
I've been waiting for you to upload for so long! Is it weird that I just love to listen to your videos as I fall asleep because of your buttery voice? Sent you a DM to ask if you personal videos for people ♥ Asking for a friend ♥
Very good point! Since I'm still experimenting with this series, I've mostly used B-Roll of games I'm playing heavily actively at the moment. But since it is NGS centered I should honestly use PSO2/NGS footage. I'll definitely use PSO2 footage for the next part of this since it will be Retem/New update.
@@everydere Still appreciate your content. I've been playing since launch and the fact is, SEGA is repeating mistakes of last six months. 15 levels for six months... need I say more. Basically the only way this game survives 2022, is if they hire a bigger staff and start accelerating their timetable AKA a Spring lvl. 50 update... which won't happen, but frankly needs to. Even still, I love PSO2 and have been supporting it since pandemic launch. SEGA just give us content. WoW launched with 60 levels and an ocean of content.
@@drlca6601 Thank you so much! Also I'm very curious about 2022 PSO2 since they did announce at the last headline, SEGA is planning for more accelerated updates and more updates in general, so I hope that comes to fruition. Also on the topic of WoW launching, I played Classic WoW's Launch and hooo boi that was A LOT of things to do. The leveling was incredibly slow since it is the vanilla version, but it made levels feel like I was achieving something vs just raising the number. I noticed in modern day MMOs (Including Retail WoW), the game basically "starts" at cap and the journey to cap is ridiculously fast. FFXIV's Endwalker is confirmed to lower the XP curve kinda similar to Shadowlands so 1-90 becomes really fast. I think the only MMO where cap isn't where the game starts is probably BDO from my experience, since it has a soft cap and a hard cap that you don't really have to hit. But that game's RNG on upgrades makes my heart break every time LOL.
10000000000000000%! Sorry for the late reply (Endwalker dropped in FFXIV), but Base PSO2 is a HUUUUGE amount of content and one of my favorite MMOs ever played. If you're looking for an insanely long and complete story, some of the best action MMO fights in gaming. And feeling like a complete god. I HIGHLY recommend it to you. Now the drawback is base PSO2 is a completely different beast compared to NGS. Skill trees are very not straight forward and class combinations are less open as well. But the gameplay for it is some of the most top notch and really supports class loyalty which I enjoy. The main reason honestly that people are pissed about NGS, is because it's following one of the most craziest anime action mmos over the last decade. If you're curious about any classes or example builds, reply to this comment so I can help you out on it!
Its a solid play! I am now used on drip feed content. Its not like you need to sink in 24/7 in ngs. Just like Destiny 😆 sink in the game for few weeks then dip in dip out, you got more time on other games
Same I love hopping on, getting things done, and then being able to do the most recent content anytime I return LOL. It's nice not having to do 24/7 gear grinding or turning the game into a job. Most of the gear I've made from the start of NGS, I just sliiiightly updated the affixes a little and called it a day. NGS' also has one of my favorite changes which makes trying out multiple classes easy, where you can invest all 20 SP at level 1 and see if it's for you.
Glad to see you're also playing Halo Infinite! I personally feel like the Battlepass progression is too slow and that their method of only giving XP through challenge cards is quite bad. I think it'd be nice if it'd instead reward you through natural gameplay, doling out small amounts of XP through getting kills or playing the objective so that you can feel like you're making progress, rather than relying on the matchmaking to hope you get put into a game mode where you can actually try to complete a challenge. Which brings up my other issue with the game currently, the playlists and not being able to pick which modes you want to play or which you want to straight up avoid. I swear if the game matches me into 3 more Oddball matches in a row when I need a single Stronghold match...
I agree completely, I heard 343 is planning on making the XP system more in line with previous iterations of Halo, but Infinite's my first Halo so I am not too sure what it's like. The progression for BP is realllllly slow even after they implemented the 50 XP per match, and I didn't think too much about it until the Tenrai event happened and it took forever to get one BP tier LOL. I really would enjoy some more XP based on your score or incentivizing more objective play. And on the topic of not being able to pick what modes you want to play, 10000% that needs to be implemented. Like I would love to just do Slayer 24/7 when I want to, and play objectives when I want to as well. And my match RNG is similar OTL, I've gotten 10 oddball matches in a row and haven't seen a stronghold match in ages now. My ranked games too were primarily oddball which was very awkward LOL. I've got big hopes for Halo Infinite so I hope 343 makes it even better especially after receiving feedback, cause I loooooove this game a lot.
I'm convinced they wanted to put Liberate and completely butchered it too LOL. I remember when the name for the series got announced, I was scratching my head at "How did Liberate turn into Rivalate??"
I dont like how little they have shown about the new region on NGS, feels like we are going to get almost the exact quantity of content like on release. Hopefully next year will be better and we get more constant and better updates, i can wait, i started to play genshin impact and when im done with it, i still have a good backlog.
Yeah SEGA did say last headline, that the plan is for future updates to happen more frequently+have more content. I think the December update is pretty much set in stone since it's part of the original road map and before any of the feedback about content complaints hit SEGA. Also I can wait too, December's jam packed with looots of updates for games LOL. FFXIV's newest expansion drops this weekend so I'll be swamped with playing that for a week or two, followed by NGS' update which I'll speedrun, and some more Guilty Gear Strive updates as well. Steam Sale is also going on right now, and Epic Games usually has some crazy holiday freebies once December comes along. I legit made an EGS account just for all the free games, and it's been pretty worth it. Also if you're into fighting games and want to practice for Project L (Riot's entry into the fighting game scene), Power Rangers Battle for the Grid is nearly 1:1 to how it'll play and it's suuuuuuuuuuper sick. It's fully crossplay and majority play on console, so the steam numbers are deceptively low. Edit: It also has Rollback which is the same netcode Riot's Project L will be using.
Retem will have 5 to 10 hrs of content depending on how good and fast you are. After that it will be less if you are doing other characters. I have 20 so i have a little more reason for replayability sake, but not by much. Gw2 is an excellent mmo and worth it.
OH I AM SO HYPED FOR GW2. I wanted to get in back when Path of Fire came out, but FFXIV's raid tier dropped at around the same time so I never got around it. I started up GW2 recently (when the DX11 update dropped), and have been leveling up a firebrand guardian which has been suuuuuuuper fun. I saw the latest expansion class reveals and I REALLY want to play Willbender or the new Gunkatana class on Warrior. Also on the topic of GW2 being excellent, they do mounts 1000000% sooooo goood. Once I got my hands on mounts, I completely lost my mind at how good and fluid it is LOL. GW2 is probably the only B2P MMO i'd suggest to people since it has great PVE designs, and great PVP too. WvW is also hella fun if you enjoy zerging.
Halo infinite is my main game currently. I only do my weeklies and daily SG scratches in ngs right now. I'm glad Halo is such a good game. Halo hasn't been in it's prime since Halo 3/reach.
Halo Infinite is my FIRST Halo I've ever played! I've always had a Playstation so I never was able to go on the Halo train. But GOD It's my main game too now! One of my favorite genres is arena shooters (Quake/Unreal Tournament), and Halo realllly scratches that itch so good. Ranked is pretty fun too if you haven't played it on Infinite yet. I think it weighs K/D more than objective times last I heard (Edit: For placement matches). I won 7-3 and it put me Plat II (now Plat III), but I definitely wanna try grinding all the way to Diamond.
@@everydere nice I'm glad that you are enjoying it :p. I have played Halo since it released on the og Xbox. I have also tried out ranked and I got into diamond 1. I probably got lucky since it was launch week and alot of newcomers probably were playing. I have years of experience but people are starting to get the hang of this game real quick. Your gameplay was really good for being the first halo game you've played ;)
@@timelyraccoon8878 Thanks so much! Also holy crap Diamond I is my goal atm LOL. I did notice too after launch week, people started getting wayyy more proficient real quick. Also I love 343 for coming out with infinite nearly a month early. I was super closer to buying the MCC at full price when I heard Infinite's multiplayer dropped, so I downloaded ASAP. I should pick up the gamepass though and try out MCC so I can get the plot + details, but I might wait until the campaign for infinite is out since I know it's a day 1 for Gamepass too (and just binge all the halo games back to back).
@@everydere Yeah, gamepass is a great deal if you want to play infinite on day and if you also want to experience the campaign of the earlier games. I would also recommend playing halo wars 2 since it's connected to halo infinite's story if you're interested. And yes I think your kd has a big impact on your placing since I lost 3 - 4 matches if I remember correctly, but I never once went minus in my kd and I usually had around 2000 points every match. I wish you good luck in your future ranked matches, I'm too scared to play ranked since I don't want to loose my rank xD.
@@timelyraccoon8878 I'ma use that luck to get all the way up to Diamond thanks LOL! Also I didn't even know there was a Halo RTS, I'm a huuuuge starcraft/red alert fan so I can't wait to try that out + I want to see the previous game customizations for spartan armors since I know there's a vaaaaaast amount. OH and on the topic of losing rank, when I did a couple of games to get myself up to Plat 3, I noticed that if you perform personally well and lost. The game didn't deduct any rank progression on my current rank, so that may motivate you to go alllll the way to Onyx!
Sadly with my laptop being a potato halo infinite's a no bueno for me. I agree that NGS' casual playstyle is a double edged sword. As much as i would appreciate chase weapons im not sure that its a must for the retem region and even down the line for a few months post retem. Im honestly weary on the notion that ngs needs more content because for something like ngs its easy to either make an abundance of content is frankly shallow or few more content so deep it can likely incite burnout onto players who push too much. That being said i appreciate what ngs has offered, though with some problems and what it lacks, but honestly slow burn mmos existed before ngs. Also lost the drive for ffxiv at this point so there's that.
Yeah I love NGS because the combat and gameplay feels reallllly nice, but it definitely needs some more incentive to work on content. Even repeatable content would be very nice. I think triggers are a right step in the direction, but purple triggers are pretty hard & expensive to obtain due to RNG, so I hope they make it more accessible down the line. Ideally PT2 & future updates will solidify the gameplay loop, since right now NGS is a little tooo fast to blitz through the whole game with 0 time gates as well. And losing the drive for FFXIV makes a lot of sense. FFXIV is a suuuuuuuuuuper slow burn and if I started it today, I'd probably end up quitting somewhere around mid ARR to HW. Couple that with having to purchase a sub past level 60 + 39.99 expansions, and it starts feeling like you're more forced to play since you put money in vs wanting to play. I think the biggest issue with FFXIV is it becomes the main recommendation/comparison for a lot of MMOs, but it's in a completely different genre (Tab Targeting+Vanilla style Raid mmos). On top of that, the sub cost does add up quite a lot. I don't really like to spend money on video games/mmos so I always look for the most fun F2P games, and FFXIV constitutes a huuuuuge portion of my gaming costs. I've been playing since 2015 paying a 12.99 a month sub + 39.99 fee for expansions. On top of that, there's extra costs like Server Transfers which I've done once (15$), Changing my race & gender (10$ every time *F* ). And to make it worse, I raid log aka I log in once a week when the raid tier is active since my group usually downs it fast. Soo I'm basically paying 12.99 a month to login 4 times LMAO. I feel like I use FFXIV more for it's social experiences rather than the gameplay, since I do prefer games like BDO/Lost Ark/NGS/Base PSO2 wayyyyy more for the gameplay itself. Old School Runescape is another game I'd love to play 24/7 but man the sub cost to play a game I've played in 2005 is oof. Used to be 5$ a month and I'm okay with that, but now it's 11$.
Yup! Weeklies and Dailies are pretty much all I've been doing in prep for Retem. The nice thing too is you'll passively be able to do the event quests while doing them, so I was able to obtain all of the alpha reactors from the events too. There's also a new twitter who has replaced RappyBurst for showing off daily Alpha Reactors but I'm too lazy to actually get them LOL.
LMAO the truth. I know my self control for things like gachas/lootboxes/slots is veeeery low since I usually hit it big then I want to keep going. So I make sure I just never touch those systems cause it can get realllllly addictive real quick. My goal in gaming is to never spend any money on lootboxes or RNG, just to avoid a situation where I go from "I'll just put 40$ into this scratch" into "Ok 20$ more won't hurt" x 20 LOL. Now ingame money though, 100% as long as I've grinded for it, I do crazy gambles especially during the time in base PSO2 where I had A LOT of shop passes from excubes. I did glare catalyst gambling where you either hit it big and get +10m in a short period, or lose it all. Came out with 100m+ and vowed never to do that again.
IMO I think the hype train is mainly because it's Halo and it's free. The shooter genre for awhile has been mostly battle royales, and recently people have been asking for more 6v6 smaller match modes similar to older shooters. So I think the hype train started coming out since instead of paying 60$ for Halo, it's now free to play and everyone's able to play it with full crossplay. On the other side of similar games (CoD Vanguard), they have a pretty big price tag and support is dropped really fast since they're pumped out yearly. Now in terms of actual gameplay, it's definitely very basic since it's Halo gameplay. So high TTK, shields + HP, and no loadouts so arena style gameplay. But it's also Halo which has a massive fanbase so this game will definitely stay alive for a veery long time and receive support nearly indefinitely. There are some things I wish they would change, like the grapple shot ability is REALLY fun to use, but I only get it maybe once a match. I would love a future update to let us have atleast a "gadget" loadout where we can pick our starting gadget similar to TitanFall 2 to add some spice to the gameplay. Edit: Maybe make some of the more powerful gadgets like Active Camo/Overshield arena pickup only if they go down a gadget selection route.
I'm baaack to weekly uploads again! This holiday season is going to be SWAMPED with loads of goodies for MMOs. I'm hyped for Endwalker next week, NGS's new update, and why on earth is Red 7$ for the Yoroi armor in Halo Infinite T_T.

Its a solid play! I am now used on drip feed content. Its not like you need to sink in 24/7 in ngs. Just like Destiny 😆 sink in the game for few weeks then dip in dip out, you got more time on other games
Same I love hopping on, getting things done, and then being able to do the most recent content anytime I return LOL. It's nice not having to do 24/7 gear grinding or turning the game into a job. Most of the gear I've made from the start of NGS, I just sliiiightly updated the affixes a little and called it a day. NGS' also has one of my favorite changes which makes trying out multiple classes easy, where you can invest all 20 SP at level 1 and see if it's for you.
Glad to see you're also playing Halo Infinite! I personally feel like the Battlepass progression is too slow and that their method of only giving XP through challenge cards is quite bad. I think it'd be nice if it'd instead reward you through natural gameplay, doling out small amounts of XP through getting kills or playing the objective so that you can feel like you're making progress, rather than relying on the matchmaking to hope you get put into a game mode where you can actually try to complete a challenge. Which brings up my other issue with the game currently, the playlists and not being able to pick which modes you want to play or which you want to straight up avoid. I swear if the game matches me into 3 more Oddball matches in a row when I need a single Stronghold match...
I agree completely, I heard 343 is planning on making the XP system more in line with previous iterations of Halo, but Infinite's my first Halo so I am not too sure what it's like.
The progression for BP is realllllly slow even after they implemented the 50 XP per match, and I didn't think too much about it until the Tenrai event happened and it took forever to get one BP tier LOL. I really would enjoy some more XP based on your score or incentivizing more objective play. And on the topic of not being able to pick what modes you want to play, 10000% that needs to be implemented. Like I would love to just do Slayer 24/7 when I want to, and play objectives when I want to as well. And my match RNG is similar OTL, I've gotten 10 oddball matches in a row and haven't seen a stronghold match in ages now. My ranked games too were primarily oddball which was very awkward LOL.
I've got big hopes for Halo Infinite so I hope 343 makes it even better especially after receiving feedback, cause I loooooove this game a lot.
I'm pretty sure the Rivalate weapons was a butchered translation of "Liberate" 😅
I'm convinced they wanted to put Liberate and completely butchered it too LOL. I remember when the name for the series got announced, I was scratching my head at "How did Liberate turn into Rivalate??"
I dont like how little they have shown about the new region on NGS, feels like we are going to get almost the exact quantity of content like on release. Hopefully next year will be better and we get more constant and better updates, i can wait, i started to play genshin impact and when im done with it, i still have a good backlog.
Yeah SEGA did say last headline, that the plan is for future updates to happen more frequently+have more content. I think the December update is pretty much set in stone since it's part of the original road map and before any of the feedback about content complaints hit SEGA.
Also I can wait too, December's jam packed with looots of updates for games LOL. FFXIV's newest expansion drops this weekend so I'll be swamped with playing that for a week or two, followed by NGS' update which I'll speedrun, and some more Guilty Gear Strive updates as well. Steam Sale is also going on right now, and Epic Games usually has some crazy holiday freebies once December comes along. I legit made an EGS account just for all the free games, and it's been pretty worth it. Also if you're into fighting games and want to practice for Project L (Riot's entry into the fighting game scene), Power Rangers Battle for the Grid is nearly 1:1 to how it'll play and it's suuuuuuuuuuper sick. It's fully crossplay and majority play on console, so the steam numbers are deceptively low. Edit: It also has Rollback which is the same netcode Riot's Project L will be using.
Is this your halo gameplay in the beginning?? Damn Nigga you are nice wit it !!!! 😎👉🏼🔥🔥🙏🏽
Yup! and thank you LOL
Retem will have 5 to 10 hrs of content depending on how good and fast you are. After that it will be less if you are doing other characters. I have 20 so i have a little more reason for replayability sake, but not by much. Gw2 is an excellent mmo and worth it.
OH I AM SO HYPED FOR GW2. I wanted to get in back when Path of Fire came out, but FFXIV's raid tier dropped at around the same time so I never got around it. I started up GW2 recently (when the DX11 update dropped), and have been leveling up a firebrand guardian which has been suuuuuuuper fun. I saw the latest expansion class reveals and I REALLY want to play Willbender or the new Gunkatana class on Warrior.
Also on the topic of GW2 being excellent, they do mounts 1000000% sooooo goood. Once I got my hands on mounts, I completely lost my mind at how good and fluid it is LOL. GW2 is probably the only B2P MMO i'd suggest to people since it has great PVE designs, and great PVP too. WvW is also hella fun if you enjoy zerging.
Halo infinite is my main game currently. I only do my weeklies and daily SG scratches in ngs right now. I'm glad Halo is such a good game. Halo hasn't been in it's prime since Halo 3/reach.
Halo Infinite is my FIRST Halo I've ever played! I've always had a Playstation so I never was able to go on the Halo train. But GOD It's my main game too now! One of my favorite genres is arena shooters (Quake/Unreal Tournament), and Halo realllly scratches that itch so good. Ranked is pretty fun too if you haven't played it on Infinite yet. I think it weighs K/D more than objective times last I heard (Edit: For placement matches). I won 7-3 and it put me Plat II (now Plat III), but I definitely wanna try grinding all the way to Diamond.
@@everydere nice I'm glad that you are enjoying it :p. I have played Halo since it released on the og Xbox. I have also tried out ranked and I got into diamond 1. I probably got lucky since it was launch week and alot of newcomers probably were playing. I have years of experience but people are starting to get the hang of this game real quick. Your gameplay was really good for being the first halo game you've played ;)
@@timelyraccoon8878 Thanks so much! Also holy crap Diamond I is my goal atm LOL. I did notice too after launch week, people started getting wayyy more proficient real quick. Also I love 343 for coming out with infinite nearly a month early. I was super closer to buying the MCC at full price when I heard Infinite's multiplayer dropped, so I downloaded ASAP. I should pick up the gamepass though and try out MCC so I can get the plot + details, but I might wait until the campaign for infinite is out since I know it's a day 1 for Gamepass too (and just binge all the halo games back to back).
@@everydere Yeah, gamepass is a great deal if you want to play infinite on day and if you also want to experience the campaign of the earlier games. I would also recommend playing halo wars 2 since it's connected to halo infinite's story if you're interested. And yes I think your kd has a big impact on your placing since I lost 3 - 4 matches if I remember correctly, but I never once went minus in my kd and I usually had around 2000 points every match. I wish you good luck in your future ranked matches, I'm too scared to play ranked since I don't want to loose my rank xD.
@@timelyraccoon8878 I'ma use that luck to get all the way up to Diamond thanks LOL! Also I didn't even know there was a Halo RTS, I'm a huuuuge starcraft/red alert fan so I can't wait to try that out + I want to see the previous game customizations for spartan armors since I know there's a vaaaaaast amount. OH and on the topic of losing rank, when I did a couple of games to get myself up to Plat 3, I noticed that if you perform personally well and lost. The game didn't deduct any rank progression on my current rank, so that may motivate you to go alllll the way to Onyx!
Sadly with my laptop being a potato halo infinite's a no bueno for me. I agree that NGS' casual playstyle is a double edged sword. As much as i would appreciate chase weapons im not sure that its a must for the retem region and even down the line for a few months post retem. Im honestly weary on the notion that ngs needs more content because for something like ngs its easy to either make an abundance of content is frankly shallow or few more content so deep it can likely incite burnout onto players who push too much. That being said i appreciate what ngs has offered, though with some problems and what it lacks, but honestly slow burn mmos existed before ngs. Also lost the drive for ffxiv at this point so there's that.
Yeah I love NGS because the combat and gameplay feels reallllly nice, but it definitely needs some more incentive to work on content. Even repeatable content would be very nice. I think triggers are a right step in the direction, but purple triggers are pretty hard & expensive to obtain due to RNG, so I hope they make it more accessible down the line. Ideally PT2 & future updates will solidify the gameplay loop, since right now NGS is a little tooo fast to blitz through the whole game with 0 time gates as well.
And losing the drive for FFXIV makes a lot of sense. FFXIV is a suuuuuuuuuuper slow burn and if I started it today, I'd probably end up quitting somewhere around mid ARR to HW. Couple that with having to purchase a sub past level 60 + 39.99 expansions, and it starts feeling like you're more forced to play since you put money in vs wanting to play.
I think the biggest issue with FFXIV is it becomes the main recommendation/comparison for a lot of MMOs, but it's in a completely different genre (Tab Targeting+Vanilla style Raid mmos). On top of that, the sub cost does add up quite a lot. I don't really like to spend money on video games/mmos so I always look for the most fun F2P games, and FFXIV constitutes a huuuuuge portion of my gaming costs.
I've been playing since 2015 paying a 12.99 a month sub + 39.99 fee for expansions. On top of that, there's extra costs like Server Transfers which I've done once (15$), Changing my race & gender (10$ every time *F* ). And to make it worse, I raid log aka I log in once a week when the raid tier is active since my group usually downs it fast. Soo I'm basically paying 12.99 a month to login 4 times LMAO. I feel like I use FFXIV more for it's social experiences rather than the gameplay, since I do prefer games like BDO/Lost Ark/NGS/Base PSO2 wayyyyy more for the gameplay itself. Old School Runescape is another game I'd love to play 24/7 but man the sub cost to play a game I've played in 2005 is oof. Used to be 5$ a month and I'm okay with that, but now it's 11$.
Mmm If you have time, do your dailies and partake in events for free goodies; that is if you care about free cosmetics.
Yup! Weeklies and Dailies are pretty much all I've been doing in prep for Retem. The nice thing too is you'll passively be able to do the event quests while doing them, so I was able to obtain all of the alpha reactors from the events too. There's also a new twitter who has replaced RappyBurst for showing off daily Alpha Reactors but I'm too lazy to actually get them LOL.
$40 is $40 unless ure a PSO whale...and then it's a few lacklustre scratches XD
LMAO the truth. I know my self control for things like gachas/lootboxes/slots is veeeery low since I usually hit it big then I want to keep going. So I make sure I just never touch those systems cause it can get realllllly addictive real quick. My goal in gaming is to never spend any money on lootboxes or RNG, just to avoid a situation where I go from "I'll just put 40$ into this scratch" into "Ok 20$ more won't hurt" x 20 LOL.
Now ingame money though, 100% as long as I've grinded for it, I do crazy gambles especially during the time in base PSO2 where I had A LOT of shop passes from excubes. I did glare catalyst gambling where you either hit it big and get +10m in a short period, or lose it all. Came out with 100m+ and vowed never to do that again.
I dont get the Halo infinite hype train. Played it and it wasn't even all that impressive as people say it is 😴
IMO I think the hype train is mainly because it's Halo and it's free. The shooter genre for awhile has been mostly battle royales, and recently people have been asking for more 6v6 smaller match modes similar to older shooters. So I think the hype train started coming out since instead of paying 60$ for Halo, it's now free to play and everyone's able to play it with full crossplay. On the other side of similar games (CoD Vanguard), they have a pretty big price tag and support is dropped really fast since they're pumped out yearly.
Now in terms of actual gameplay, it's definitely very basic since it's Halo gameplay. So high TTK, shields + HP, and no loadouts so arena style gameplay. But it's also Halo which has a massive fanbase so this game will definitely stay alive for a veery long time and receive support nearly indefinitely. There are some things I wish they would change, like the grapple shot ability is REALLY fun to use, but I only get it maybe once a match. I would love a future update to let us have atleast a "gadget" loadout where we can pick our starting gadget similar to TitanFall 2 to add some spice to the gameplay.
Edit: Maybe make some of the more powerful gadgets like Active Camo/Overshield arena pickup only if they go down a gadget selection route.
