    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    ARR is an epic adventure compared to the end transition quests of heavenwards->all of stormblood practically. =D

    You out level everything rapidly and I've only done the MSQ through Stormblood. Fully expect to have at least 3-4 80s by the time I'm done with it all. Server itself doesn't matter. Cluster is more relevant. I've been on Primal and it has low ques and a nice player base.

    Yeah if you preorder the next it doesn't unlock until launch which I found out after hah. Just buy shadowbringers and you'll have the rest.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Loot has always been meaningless outside of a handful of big items. In like a month and change on Aradune I had like 50+ krono starting from zero, full raid loot etc. and I definitely don't fall into the poopsocker, harry potter maps, kill stealing (TEB guildies included kek) farmer. If you...

    If you like pressing 9 button combos wait until you try ninja and press 20 something buttons before trick attack wears off! ;D Every other class feels like playing in slow mo so far that I've tried after running my ninja up.

    Couldn't agree more. ARR - 7/10. Good story build up/character development etc., lots of content to go alongside the MSQ to break things up. Heavensward 8/10. Similar pacing with MSQ, lots of content with some fantastic dungeons/raids/primal fights. The end gap between MSQ quests into...

    This is either going to be the worst or best economy on a TLP in years from what I'm seeing. Too bad I don't got time to play =O

    Both have their own flavor of weird tbh. EQ is straight up trailer park trash. FFXIV is like tumblr/4chan/furry soup.

    So far Stormblood MSQ is complete butt about 70 quests into it and it was already dragging just getting into Stormblood. Tons of menial quests beholden to a level 1 scrub with no experience rather than a hero with practically no dungeons/trials/raids so far to break up the tedium for a bunch of...

    Having done ARR and Heavensward recently the MSQ flows pretty well. The Dragonsong War -> Stormblood transition was pretty bleh though. Couldn't wait to be done with Ishgard.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Personally don't care. This isn't a game where you're fighting over resources or where players are starved for choice by any stretch in any content. Though stuff like boosts/gear catch up is closer to pay to convenience than pay to win and I think is fairly healthy for MMOs on end of life...

    (PS4) Days gone. Q1-2019

    You can upgrade it so it's not as bad, but I still found myself running as often as possible. Never finished it as it was pretty repetitive/boring and it didn't seem to change much 10 hours in.

    Everyones financial situation is different but personally yes. I spend way more for much less value across the gaming spectrum and/or real life nonsense. Once the new mount smell wears off you won't even care about it anyway ;]

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Eh even if that is so you aren't unique when 100's/1000's of other people on the server get them. And in the scheme of things if spending an extra $35 here and there on a game you put 100's if not 1000's of hours into makes you grumpy then you have a pretty poor sense of value per dollar spent...

    Is an 8 person mount some sort of pay to win that I don't know about? Otherwise complaint is worthless. Cosmetic crap is cosmetic crap whether it's $1 or $1k.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It feels fine in PVE for the most part especially with the amount of times you aren't stationary so the GCD is fine. For PVP though? Absolute shit especially as melee. Press button. Did ability go off? Wait with your dick in your hand for slow ass GCD to come off to possibly use utility...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I still don't get how other games haven't matched WoW crispness in combat even with the idiotic batching in classic it was still better than 99% of MMOS.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    WoW is still first preference overall as that is where the people that I play with are and TBC launch is going to be fun. Plus having another MMO to play during the inevitable lull of P1 TBC will be nice and keep things top of mind going into the next FF expansion which I'm 100% going to play...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I have been putting in some hours. All done with the entirety of Heavensward content now. I was hoping to get the entire game done before TBC launch but I am enjoying it enough to do more than MSQ so I will probably finish all of Stormblood and shelve it until I am bored of WoW. If this shit...

    Resident Evil: Village (RE8)

    Watched the entire playthrough from start to finish since I know I will never buy it. Haven't paid any attention to the series since maybe like 3? Story seems off the rails but game looked cool.

    20+ years and you are all still having arguments about content/classes that has been basic knowledge for anyone with the normal amount of chromosomes. EQ #1.

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    I would argue the one thing this game doesn't have going for it is difficulty. It took friends and I a couple of days to hit end game/beat end game and that was without finding some OP builds off of the internet. Legendaries were pretty useless compared to just getting nicely rolled epics with...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    If you haven't played the series yet and aren't a masochist just jump into MH:W/Iceborne and MH:Rise. The other games are good from a variety of hunt standpoint but the QOL that is missing makes returning to them shit. I have put thousand+ hours into the old games and I would never play them...

    It could be said I brought shame upon my family. But now I have become shinobi. Just hit 50. Love the class. It makes me want to try hard with all the combos.

    Disco Elysium

    Yeah psyche/int offers the best/most robust chat options, lore and overall character immersion. The other route has him escalating even the most normal shit and trying to pick fights, drug up, sleezeball etc. I think I spent a solid 10-15 hours just scouring the starting area w/ different...

    So I started playing this again after stopping in like 2016?ish and started from scratch. Think I'm going to take up Samurai or Ninja. Was looking up end game rotation and Ninja had something like 40ish ability sequence and I can't tell if that's a meme or if it's legit? Essentially just...

    My first play through I did kind of across the board average normie. Now I'm doing my second as max physique/psyche and jesus it's night and day. The game does a really good job in making me squeamish choosing things out of the ordinary. I wish they would make it for tablet/mobile as this...

    Path of Exile

    It does work, but it's still kind of sketch with the accumulation of time if mob(s) happen to enrage. Not that big of a deal since I'm not doing HC atm but for efficiencies sake it's still not overly worth the risk.

    I'm usually lucky to have made around 50 chaos by the time I swap from SSF to trade league and this time when I hit L80 I moved over to play with friends, bought a bunch of shit and still have like 200c and I suck at the game. The big ticket items I need are like 5-10 ex total which normally I...
