Isn't that just semantics.

No guys it isn't DLC, it's an expansion.

It might come down to personal definitions now unless there's an official one somewhere. I associate "expansion" with significant content being added to a game like in the old days (Lord of Destruction, Frozen Throne, Yuri's Revenge). DLC is content that's usually much shorter (map packs, 3 hour side-stories). Then you have microtransactions (keys, skins, "time saver" unlocks, Praxis points, currency, Shark Cards).

It would be weird to put Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine in the same category as DLC, but it is content you can download. :v: Pillars of Eternity did their thing with The White March. Blizzard still loves expansions.

Early Access I know but god damnit it's The Behemoth. What do we think of Pit People so far?

It has proven to be a rare case that I am sad I ran out of story because the narration and narrative are a good blend of dumb and great. The combat is actually pretty awesome. It all depends on positioning since you don't get to aim attacks (your people attack their own targets) but there are a ton of different unit types and lots of potential squad builds.

It feels very promising.

I would feel strange playing Nuclear Throne on a gamepad, but then again I have always preferred FPS games with mouse and keyboard and playing them on consoles still feels really clunky to me

Hey, remember how Squeenix had the Deus Ex devs cut a whole bunch of content/try to stretch out Mankind Divided into two games?

Well that worked out well apparently! So well they are canceling the third game in the trilogy. I hope you weren't waiting for it.

I haven't played it since alpha(?), around the time they added the Armodillo-dinos, but I played some PVE servers with a friend and it was fun building giant bases and taming poo poo and put quite a lot into it. We did try some PVP servers at the time but unless you join a mega-clan it was stupidly lovely since you could basically never log off or anything. I dunno how much has changed, but I think servers with high-risk-high-reward PVP areas and safe normal PVE areas would probably be a good balance.

Don't play alone, that would be p stupid, but if you have a friend (or even not) to go build bases then just go hop on a 30+ person PVE server and have fun building giant glowing penis statues for all the world to marvel at.

You can play the single-player mode, the crafting system's not balanced for solo play and it shows at the higher end of the scale, but if you want to play Robinson Crusoe on dinosaur island you absolutely can. There's even sliders to adjust the single-player mode to suit you (and if the sliders aren't enough, you can enter the desired value in the box directly), I recommend jacking taming speed way up at the very least because babysitting creatures is real boring.
