@sandwich_jones: I'm guessing you meant yesterday's UPF (the date you listed is tomorrow's date). This occasionally happens when anyone who isn't Jan streams, and since Grubb is the one who hosted it, I'd guess it will just have to wait to be archived properly. In the meantime, here's the YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/live/D0mQFil8LVA?feature=share
@borgmaster: i'm not a big fan of it either, but I know SOMA has a "safe mode" that prevents deaths and I think the generally more scary aspects of the game to still retain the atmosphere/story.
Add me as a vote for SOMA since I've wanted to experience that added mode for a while.
If the club continues, I think there are some new games on there that might entice people to come back to the club (planet of Lana, Dordogne, amnesia the bunker...). But I'll add those to the other thread if the club continues.
@ben_h: yeah, the format of SGF is weird because so much of it feels like fake enthusiasm sold to the highest bidder. I don't doubt that Geoff Keighley does really get excited about Video Games, but he seemed more excited that these games were on his show as opposed to Day of the Devs that seemed genuine in their happiness to be able to provide a platform to the upcoming games they showed.
Absolutely incredible day 1 last night. Each couch was excellent and felt like they had a great rapport. Good balance of fun and good questions. Curious to see who comes on tonight, since I got my wish of Janet, Blessing, Andy & Mike. Mike was especially a standout on the final couch and I really hope to see more KF/GB crossovers.
@atheistpreacher: I was playing the game around the same time last night (albeit on Xbox) and was coming across a new issue where any time the game entered a loading screen, it would get stuck and I would have to close the game and reopen it. It would always load up immediately upon reboot, but if I tried to enter any dungeon or take a portal back to town it would happen again. On the 3rd occasion, I just gave up for the night.
Welp, seems like the club has really fallen off. I'm sure part of it has to do with no major eligible games being added to Gamepass in a minute, but also TotK, Jedi: Fallen Order & Diablo 4 are probably still taking up all of my time until FF16 comes out at the end of the month.. so yeah, I just haven't been able to participate as much as I had hoped.
I'll give Merge & Blade a chance to palate cleanse from everything else I am playing though!
I am pretty excited for this to return. Sure, obviously it won't be the same with Gerstmann, but I think he could be there "in spirit" since so many people clearly inspired by him work for this company still (Tam, Grubb, Dan). I hope Tam is given some time to interview people on the couch, especially. I think he's really come into his own since being given a larger role at GameSpot.
I also hope we see some people from Kinda Funny (Andy, Mike, Janet, Blessing), some Fanbyte Alums (Imran, Niki) and some other Remap folks besides Patrick. Obviously any ex-GB employees would be great as well.
All in all, it seems like they've got quite a bit of people strolling through so it should be a good time no matter what.
@bigsocrates: I wish I had known town portals disappear if you log off because I was pretty annoyed that I had to run a dungeon back this morning since I hopped out last night. If that was a tooltip, I must have missed it.
Started out playing as a Druid this weekend and am really enjoying it so far. I wasn't a big fan of druid in the beta, but plan on running a sorceress in co op with a friend and wanted to give Druid a little more time. I really appreciate the variety that class has with having pets, elemental and physical movesets. Really curious to see how the servers hold up now that it's out for everyone.
EDIT: I've been staring at "Queued for Game - Start Game Pending" for twenty-five minutes now with no updated ETA.
EDIT 2: I restarted the game after waiting in the queue 40 minutes and got in immediately, so maybe it was just a weird fluke.
