They're revamping combat and gameplay, redesign new player experience. It's a business thing I guess, to make more money off it, but the combat changes were needed at launch. Not sure what details entail other than late march relaunch.
Also, LOL at the comments section at this link.

They're relaunching TSW this month so I'll be playing that again. Has Tera had any significant updates recently? I played a sexy canon gunner before. Its also coming to console this year. Ive got GW2 and TSW installed. Which other one are you more active in? I also have Marvel Heroes for when I want a Diablo grind.
DMC5 has a great visual style and level design. It's more of a re-imagining, but I like the story and characters. It's much easier than 1 and 3. I think the PS4 version is on par w PC with better framerate and performance.
I basically have to delete MMOs from my HDD from time to time to make room for more games. Otherwise I would have more hours put into GW2, etc. It is one of those games that I think about playing when I play other things and I love the world so I will keep playing it. I think we should just form our own guild and play new MP games together, that way at least there is at least one other person to play things. I liked Riders of Icarus a lot, because it has pokemon mount system, but some of the dungeons required at least 2 players which was hard to find for some reason. Food for thought.
I'm playing 1-2 missions per evening on DMC1. It's too much to play through in one or two sittings. The game difficulty is real if you're not skilled, even if you are skilled. The atmosphere is pretty amazing.
You might enjoy Containment. It reminded me of Resident Evil Outbreak, which was a MP game where you had a party of odd characters that bunker down in a bar and fight their way through Racoon City. It was easier for me to binge the series than wait a week for new episodes last summer.
Im the same about not keeping up with shows. I fell behind on Flash and now I don't know what the fuck is going on? Supergirl has become more about relationships and I like the immigrant allegory with all the aliens. It's something that Flash or Arrow seems to be missing. There is also a girl-girl relationship with Supergirl that I haven't really seen on primetime television, so it feels fresh and new. I think it's one of the more progressive shows on TV with all the little political overtones and not just monster of the week which season 1 was like.
I agree with containtment being more interesting as allegory. The thing is that as the show progresses, people turn to survival mode and form gangs so a lot of the politics disappear focusing more on relationships. Since bodies start piling up in the basement of the hospital, it would have been interesting to have another threat to survive to keep things fresh. You might like it though if you want more thinky and less action.
FF15 is a blacksheep. It's so unlike any of the previous games, its practically a series unto itself.
DMC4, in hindsight, is a really good game. The new DMC simplified and streamlined combat probably to appeal to new players, while the hard core wanted another sequel that challenged them. DMC4 is also very nice looking.
I'm on my 3rd laptop cord and 2nd ipod charger cord thanks to my cat. She's like those troubled Russian orphans that try to stab you at night so you end up putting them on a plane and sending them back with a cookie.
I did a few blogs about Supernatural during BaD last month. I enjoyed the talkback and responses. Also made watching more enjoyable. Also, there is a new XMen show called Legion which is so strange and trippy that it seems it was designed to be parsed through social media discussion on purpose. I'm also watching Riverdale and reading the new Archie comics it's modeled after, much darker tone than classic Archie.
The first REAL boss in DMC is not a joke either. You really have to get good at the game to kill it if you are underpowered. DMC1 enivornments are beautiful and amazing.
Not sure about PC. The HD Collection is on PSN, or Disc for PS3. I've seen DMC 4 & new DMC on Steam though.
HD collection goes on sale on psn store all the time. 3 games for price of 1.
