    KOTOR Reboot

    KOTOR and KOTOR2 were both very good games. I played KOTOR2 with the content restored mod a couple of years ago, it was still a great experience despite the dated gameplay. It's hard to pick a best SW game for me since there's very good ones in very different genres.

    The Witcher

    Well it made one particular witcher the bad guy which is something that has been done in the witcher before.

    The Netflix Thread

    There's plenty of good stuff on Netflix. The new animated witcher movie for example is excellent, and I just started watching Jack Irish which is a pretty good TV crime thriller.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The first half of the post ARR stuff is somewhat filler but it is also laying groundwork for one of the main story arcs moving forwards. The second half of post ARR content is setup for Heavensward. It is a bit long, but having recently played through it, as well as all of heavensward and most...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Black Mage was originally my main but I got sick of how bad it was for instanced content when you are still learning mechanics. Some fights felt like I spent half the time just running around casting Scathe. It's an awesome class for soloing outdoor stuff though. I've switched to...

    Had a look at PF last night at peak JP time. For trials there was a Sephirot EX with 1/8, a Ramuh EX half full and then heaps that I don't have access to (SHB/SB). Looks like PF isn't used that much at least for lower level stuff on JP. Can easily get DF pops for all L50 Extremes and...

    I'm on JP. L50 and some L60 extremes pop on duty finder without any trouble.. For example I can get nidhogg's rage easily even though that's a clusterfuck, never gotten a kill yet. I'll have a look at the party finder later on and see if i can get some containment bay groups that way.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The fact that all content is till used even by max level players is great but I still find some instances are very difficult to get a pop in. I have yet to get any of the containment bay extremes to pop, queueing 1.5 hours at a time.. But if I want extreme ifrit instant, pops! Working my way...

    Yes, maybe so, but I've got my moneys worth out of them so far!

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Huge western game companies seem to all fall into this pit when they get big/successful. You can really see the difference with smaller ones. If I pick one of my pet loves at the moment, KLEI, they reliably put out new content for their games regularly, monthly for their more popular titles...

    You can easily get fishing 1-80 spending maybe 200k gil buying fish for leves off the market board. Only fishing you really have to do is for the quests, some of which do take a while - hello Catkiller!

    What does "mandatory arbitration" mean in the context of blizzard abuse allegations? Does blizz force accusers and accusees to sit in a room and try to work it out?

    Stand your ground! Healers just need to adjust. If you died it's because they didn't put big enough shields on you.

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    The texturing is wonderful, the main troopers faces and armour looks like it was painted on by a paint brush.

    Doesn't matter, you just need to get any adventuring class to 50 then you can unlock Samurai. Of the starting classes maybe Puglist is the closest playstyle to Samurai?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yep. At my firm christmas parties I've witnessed two conversations where groups of drunk people were bragging about how many of the women in the office they've fucked, or speculating about how many guys in the office the hot chick from department X has slept with, all while the women in question...

    I read in a wiki that the crystal tower quest series is now required for completion of the ARR MSQ at one of the last steps just before you get to heavensward. Is that true? Seems like quite the obstacle to have to do 3x24 person raids to move to the xpac.

    Black Widow (2020)

    I was waiting for the bullets to hit something critical but the plot armour saved it. I thought overall that was one of the most entertaining sequences in the movie though. I pre-emptively laughed when BW landed on the ground in the pose because I could hear the scoffing from Yelena before the...

    Clarkson's Farm

    This was very entertaining! As someone else said, made me want to bust out farming simulator, but then I remember how annoying the driving is in that game.

    Black Widow (2020)

    I thought this was quite alright. I laughed several times, I thought the banter between the sisters and father was entertaining, the fights were mostly good. Not so great was the mother who was very forgettable, and most of all taskmaster who was awful, shit on the source material, and served...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    What a great game.. finished the game and integrade on normal, farmed most of the random achievements.. started on hard mode now.. through the first 3 acts so far, pretty easy going.. i bet the airbender is going to be the first major hurdle.. we'll see!

    I haven't played this since 2014 when I was vaguely endgame with decent stuff. Re-downloading it now. Anything in particular I should try to do to get current or shall I just wander aimlessly and follow quest markers?

    The fight scenes were the worst. Absolutely dull.

    Humankind (Civ-style game from Amplitude Studios)

    Has anyone played Humankind in beta? How is it shaping up? I played Old World early access and it's quite good although has AI issues like every other game in this genre has.

    You should definitely complain on twitter that they are microaggressing you. Show is great fun so far, the two leads are wonderful together.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Picked this up for PS5.. and I am hooked.. Game is so much better than I expected it would be and I'm loving the new combat system. Feels like I have so much practice ahead of me to really get the most out of it.

    The E3 2021 Thread

    Big studios are not going to risk AAA tier funding on unproven ideas. We still get big name games which have some uniqueness to them, think H:ZD or Returnal, but they are just reskins of existing games/mechanics pretty much. There is still plenty of innovation and creativity in indie studios...

    It's worth playing IMO, especially since there is no OW2 release date, it's probably a couple of years off.

    They still don't have any gameplay. Chances of them actually hitting that release date with a decent product? Odds not good.

    Managed to sit through this today but it was not easy. Boring, extremely badly edited, chaotic and nonsensical.

    Marvel's The Punisher

    Agreed, Apparently he was in the running for the job but I assume the producers wanted the GoT guy to bring some viewers across. Shame, he's an actual martial artist and that would have helped with the choreography problems.

    The Umbrella Academy

    They can just continue umbrella academy as if nothing has changed. Ellen Page wasn't the most feminine looking woman. Just put some makeup and maybe a wig and you won't be able to tell the difference. It's more whether Mr Page would be willing to do that.
