    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This is probably weird to most people, but I'm using a hybrid of both. I find the keyboard/mouse easier to go through my inventory and such, but use the controller for combat. One of the main reasons I switched was because the Sword of Night and Flame is fucked with a mouse, as the flame and...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I just beat Margit!! Holy shit, I can barely contain myself. I know some of you have beaten the game already, but this was a huge step for me. I love this god damn game so much. I don't think I've ever loved and hated a game simultaneously like Elden Ring, but when you finally break through and...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Holy fuck, dude. I have a Sonos Arc with a subwoofer, and the first time I loaded the game, I thought Russia hit us with a nuke!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Okay, so I have somber stone 2, and 3. So you have to go in order I'm guessing?

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Okay, please keep in mind that I have never played a souls game before, so please don't bash me too harshly, but I can't figure out how to upgrade my Sword of Night and Flame. I have somber smithing stones, and I went to the blacksmith in the roundtable, and I have plenty of runes, but it's...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I cheated a little bit and Youtubed how to get the Sword of Night and Flame. Thing kicks ass! Like having a flame thrower. Really great weapon for multiple baddies coming at you. Still enjoying the game, still haven't even killed the first boss yet. Don't really care, having too much fun just...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I've posted this a few times. Yes, yes, and fuck yes, go with a controller. I started the first couple of days with keyboard/mouse, and finally went and bought an Xbox controller yesterday. I highly recommend the game with a controller over a keyboard/mouse. The game doesn't seem like it was...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I rolled Astrologer, and about 15 minutes later rolled Vagabond. I don't know, but I just felt like this game should be played with a melee class. But that's just me. I will say that as someone who never played any of the other Souls/Bloodborne games, it took some getting used to. I also quickly...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    So they finally fixed the GPU issue that was causing problems on PC. Game runs buttery smooth now (thank god). Have settings ramped the whole way up, not even a single stutter. I'm having fun with the game, although I will say this game was definitely NOT created with keyboard and mouse in mind...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    So unfortunately, I submitted for a refund for this game on Steam. I reinstalled the game, still having the same problems. Frame rate issue kicks me back to log in screen. When I can play, the frame rates are so bad, I can barely move, and the enemies are still mostly invisible. I did read...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Okay, so I downloaded the game on Friday, played for a few hours, then was gone until today. Friday, everything was fine. Game ran smoothly (although, even on the highest settings I thought the graphics were a little lackluster, but whatever). So today I log in, the game is running so poorly, I...

    Lost Ark Online

    I'm still relatively new to this game. Is it better to put your level points into as many attacks as possible, or concentrate on just a few? Also, what do you do with old gear? My inventory is starting to fill up with crap. Sorry, I know there are noob questions, but I've only been playing for...

    Lost Ark Online

    Still having fun playing, although leveling is taking a little longer than I thought it would. Would still love to join the guild if you guys get more roster spots!

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    I gave up on this franchise after Aliens. Everything after the second movie is dog shit. Just like everything after ROTJ in the Star Wars universe is dog shit. Sorry, but sometimes you just gotta cut your losses.

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    You guys do realize that these are movies, right? Like, they don't have to follow the actual laws of physics, because it's a fucking movie? The original 2 movies were good because they were simple. First one was a slasher film set in space, the second one was an action movie, set in space. No...

    Lost Ark Online

    I have to agree about the questing, it's hilariously bad. "Hey, I heard this guard knows something about the tablet, go talk to him." Ummm, dip shit, he's standing three feet away from you, why don't YOU go talk to him? I absolutely hated the quest hubs in WoW, and this is even worse, but if the...

    Lost Ark Online

    I just hit level 20, and I'm still confused about my skill points. Please don't bash on me too harshly, I've never played this game before, but where do I get the runes that enhance my skills? Is that something that drops in the game, and I haven't had any drop yet? I love the combat in the...

    Lost Ark Online

    I'm on Regulus. My name is Svetyana, death blade assassin. Just started fooling around with the game for a few hours. Graphics are stunning, story is kinda bleh, but I'm guessing no one is playing this MMO for the story. Anyway, if you guys have started a guild on the server, I'd love to join!

    Lost Ark Online

    I'm starting to waffle a little bit on wanting to play this. On one hand, it would be fun to jump into a MMO with all of you again. On the other hand, it sounds like it's going to be a grind fest (I know, I know, its a Korean MMO, what else should I expect?), and there are just a mega fuck ton...

    Lost Ark Online

    I'll do Regulas as well. I've never played before, so is there a class that's more needed than something else? I'll play whatever is needed, doesn't matter to me.

    MMORPG vs RPG?

    I don't hate on EQ as much as other people here do. It was far from perfect, but it's also the reason most of us are still on this site, 20 some years later. I do think it's odd (and I've stated this before) that in 1999, we had like 14 starting classes, 12 starting races, and 13 starting...

    Mortal Online 2

    I can't imagine playing a full PVP full loot MMO with the combat as clunky as I've seen in this game. If I'm going to lose all of my shit, I at least want the combat to be spot on so it feels like when I lose, I'm losing because I suck, not because the game sucks. I haven't seen a MMO yet get...

    Lost Ark Online

    Never tried this game before, but I'm itching to play an MMO. How steep is the learning curve? And what server is everyone thinking (I'm East Coast).

    Metroid Dread

    I think this review is being a little too harsh. Nothing wrong with a game being 2D. I actually liked that aspect of the game. Also, I don't know what the fuck he's talking about, because you can deflect the EMMI's attack and get away (albeit, it's extremely difficult). I I don't think it's...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Everquest is my all time favorite video game. From 1999 till 2004, I played almost every single day, and a lot of those days were 12 hours or more straight. It consumed my life, and I enjoyed almost every second of it. But I wouldn't go back and play it again if you paid me. Mostly because, like...

    Metroid Dread

    I finally gave up on most of them. I seriously almost broke my Pro Controller when I smashed it against my coffee table. The hassle of trying to perfect 20 different buttons at the precise right moment, plus putting a cross bomb in the precise right spot, followed by having to try to shinespark...

    Metroid Dread

    Yeah, I was finally able to backtrack and pick up some things that I missed, I just don't like the fact that early on in the game you could move ahead and have no idea that you missed something pretty damn important. Like, give me some kind of clue before I get to a point where I can't go back...

    Metroid Dread

    My opinion of this game has completely soured. The later boss fights are just ridiculously frustrating, as it feels like it's a combination of Guitar Hero and DDR. I hate that if you're not standing in the precise damn spot, or jumping at the precise damn moment, you die and have to start over...

    New World

    Haven't played the game yet, I'm still on the fence. However, one of the biggest gripes I've seen (not just here) is there are no mounts, and a shit ton of forced traveling. I mean, in 2021, you can't give people a fucking horse to ride?

    Metroid Dread

    I'm about 75% finished with the game now, and there are some things I like, and some things I don't. The EMMI's are annoying after awhile. I wish the dodge to get out of their grasp was a little easier. I think they should have a little bit of a grace period for when they first capture you, and...

    Metroid Dread

    Bought this game on Friday, but was gone all weekend and couldn't play until today. I can't put it down. Can't believe how gorgeous this game is, and how much fun. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is it looks like it only takes 15 or so hours to beat it. I was hoping for double that...

    New World

    Okay, , so I know I'm way late to the party, but is there any way I can get into the server that you guys are on, or is it locked? I'd be interested in giving this game a go, but don't want to be solo on some random server with no one I know to play with.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You're a fucking idiot, and you've obviously never read "In Cold Blood" which pretty much created the non fiction genre, and is widely considered the greatest American novel ever written. Liking Stephen King is one thing, but saying he's a better writer than Truman Capote is not something anyone...

    Ashes of Creation

    The problem is, in order to have a game like EVE, the developers/publishers pretty much have to make the game, then not intercede at all, and allow the players to do whatever the fuck they want. That is so rare in today's gaming world, I just don't see that happening. I predict it'll be more of...

    Ashes of Creation

    I don't know why PvP is always seen as something good in a MMO. It has never been implemented into any game that I can think of that it was actually fun. Maybe vanilla WoW, but even then the class imbalances were insane. It always sounds great that they'll let you create cities that can be...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Being popular doesn't necessarily make it good. If that were the case, then Harry Potter would be the greatest novels ever written, and Avatar would be one of the greatest movies ever made. King may be popular, but there's a reason why his works will never be part of the literary canon.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Even when King was good, he was terrible. His writing style is very amateurish. All of his characters are stock/stereotypical and as deep as a puddle. It was so bad, that King used to even bash on himself for how awful his writing was, calling his own work "the equivalent of a burger and fries."...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That movie sucked, but that ending was legendary. Also, the movie ending for "The Shining" was way better than Stephen King's ending in the book. Why blow up the hotel? Much scarier that it remains intact to ensnare someone else. I guess I shouldn't have used King as an example. As bad as Martin...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You guys are giving Martin way too much credit. This shit happens all the fucking time with writers. They have an idea for a story, start writing it, but have no idea how to finish it. Don't believe me? Read The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. The Gunslinger was written in what, 1982, and the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think the biggest mistake GRRM made was putting the White Walkers into the story in the first place. It just doesn't fit with the rest of the plot. It's the reason he never finished the books. He has zero fucking clue what to do about an army of the undead. We got D&D's version of what should...
