Val Royeaux - L4-6
Fallow Mire - L8-10, L12-15

Emerald Graves - L14-16, L16-20
Emprise du Lion - L16-19, L19-22
The Hissing Wastes - L19-23

Ahh no wonder why I was dying really quick. I was prob trying to fight off the level 12 stuff. It's hard to figure out what level they are just by looking at them.

Another thing I noticed from the War table is when you send people out to do those timed missions. Are those important?

Aren't they both HoloLens devs now? Do we know for sure if HoloLens will be at E3 yet?

I agree on the others, they'll hopefully all be there announcing new games. Really want to see AoE 4 from Decisive Games, even if it's probably a 2016 release. Maybe Lionhead's new IP will be there as well, since it's not AAA and has been in development for awhile it might be getting close to being done now.

Np Studios isn't working on Hololens.

Launchworks are the guys that made South Park: Tenorman Revenge.



I doubt that we will see New AAA IP by 1st Party Studios maybe 2nd Party.

Xbone 1st party will all end up on PC. Xbone is just a revenue stream for XBL subscriptions.

Yep, XB1 owners will be able to stream their games to their home win10 pcs, at no extra cost.

 

That guy got reckt


that's real? lol

I want fun new IPs like Ori.

MS should beef up Launchworks and Np Studios, in order to bring back Arcade games consistently like the last couple of years of X360.

It seems like this gen people realized that small games also count.

The 1vs100 thing was turned down by Spencer today.

They aren't doing it.

You aren't lying about that last sentence.

Yeah, on consoles you can only check enemy levels by entering into tactical view and hovering the cursor over them, it's really silly. On PC there is a toggleable UI element that displays enemy levels beside their health bar over their head while using the normal action camera, but for whatever reason they decided not to put that UI element into the console versions.The UI on console isn't very customizeable, it's pretty dissapointing. Apparently Witcher 3 has a highly customizeable UI on consoles, that's good news imo.

The war table missions aren't that important, they mainly give small rewards, some money or crafting matierials. A few give influence with companions though, and a few unlock some pretty good crafting plans.

I kept getting killed by the dragon in the hinterlands and when I looked it up realised that the dragon is level 12 and I am only level 9 so have to go back to it later

MS definitely needs more AAA first party studios, 6 just doesn't seem like enough imo, but maybe I'm asking too much.

On the 2nd party front I really think that MS should fund that new IP that Certain Affinity has slowly been working on for years. They're good developers, it's a shame to see their talent wasted on DLC and remasters.


I think that both Certain Affinity and Saber Interactive would make great second party devs for MS the relationship is already there.

And i agree about more 1st party AAA devs especially since 343 and Turn10 are Halo and Forza only devs.

You mean that dragon near one of those camps?
