After my friend died I reached for Death Stranding and played it quite a bit for a couple days. It's a good thing to play when depressed and bewildered and not wanting to have to think very much.

Yeah I'm thinking just in terms of playing classic (25th TLP will be out by then). Edit: Maybe Kunark too since it's in January. Seems like Cleric is the best option if I want to make use of all those things. Paladin is probably another good one that I didn't think of...maybe. they don't really...

Always wanted to get a Manastone in EQ and never could. Same with Rubicite. What class would benefit the most from a Manastone? Thinking the 3 pure healers. Maybe also Necro? What about if JBoots are added? Then Wizard probably also jumps up to that tier. Factor in Rubicite classes... I guess...

Wait, if you beat Dracula in the intro as Richter, you start with Alucard having higher stats? I didn't know this. I would have definitely done that myself. The one time I fought Dracula I nearly beat him, he was at like 10-20% HP. For how much this game emulates Super Metroid, it's cool that...

I recommend people give this a try, especially if they have a Series X. It looks a bit dated on PS3 (which is unfortunate because in-era it might have been the prettiest game on the system). Fixes a lot of what went wrong with FF13, refines the battle system a bit, has some good DLCs that are...

Thanks, that's about what I thought. I don't get why people refer to the DC game as "MK8" (and now the company does in canon as well since it later gave us 10 and 11). I don't see how MK Vs DC is a main series MK any more than spinoffs like Shaolin Monks are. I guess it plays like a regular MK...

I don't know how she is in this show, but for my money, gang, Maria in SOTN is one of the hottest game-babes in gaming history.

Any lore hounds in here able to tell me if I'm getting all of this right? Googling it resulted in a bunch of timelines and a general confusing mess. As I understand it: MK1-3: Shao Khan tries to take over Earthrealm, loses. Retreats back to Outworld after 3 MK4: Shinnok and Quan-Chi do things...

It won't help now, but yeah I figured I had to go that way. I might try this again at a later time when I need a Soulsborne and nothing new's readily available.

Playing this for Halloween. 2nd playthrough ever. PS4 version has playable Maria like Saturn, have to beat the game once though. May platinum it. Such a great game. That said, I sure ran real far without a save point here, think I took a wrong turn or something. I definitely prefer Super...

I think Simon Belmont would work better as a movie. Maybe two movies, one for CV1 and one for CV2. Count me in as someone who kinda didn't want to just skip over him, but without a supporting cast or a ton to do, I think you could only get a couple movies out of it. Both could be kind of horror...

This is where I stopped. Door doesn't budge, walkway to the left has a pull able bridge in the dark world. There's no giant walkway.

This has OG spell effects? Of course it does...damn that's awesome. I really miss the old spell effects, and TLPs aren't gonna give you that

That's the worst, when you miss something. I remember MD being vaguer than the other games in the series. Has anyone tried easy mode? Considered giving this a second runthrough to see if I like it more if it isn't such a brutal slog. All they really need to do is lower the damage output of...

Ended up returning this one, just wasn't jiving with me at all. The visuals were, I dunno, blurry or something, so when I moved around there was this weird disconnect. Played on Performance because Quality resembled a slideshow on PS5. Turned off Motion Blur. Still just wasn't jiving with me...

The ranged mobs are the big annoyance for me And also this. I really just wanted a From-like Souls 4 type game that kept it simple. This tries some new stuff and none of it really works. The Dark World looks like everything is covered in spooge. It's less dark/menacing and more just...

Personally I haven't gotten lost yet. Seems like you have to make sure to shine the lantern everywhere which is a little annoying. I loved the "light and dark world" mechanic in Link to the Past and Metroid Prime 2, but here, I don't know, something about it's rubbing me the wrong way. Maybe...

I'm not really into "where the fuck do I go" type games. I'll give this another good shot but I might actually end up returning it. Nothing about it jumped out at me as being must-play and it seems uneven AF in the two hours or so I spent on it. Was also hoping for something a bit more visually...

It's giving me Pieta matches now that I'm further on (and also matches for SoG guy still). Multiplayer's really weird. On the latest one Pieta turned grey-meter and I couldn't damage it anymore, while the host was still able to do damage. It just stayed like that until I eventually got ganked...

I don't get the multiplayer at all. Before the first boss I wanted to get a couple levels and figured it'd be more fun to help people beat the first boss a few times rather than grinding the levels out. Did that with Elden Ring IIRC, beat Margit a bunch of times helping other people before I did...

Don't racially profile the purple people plz

So what I'm hearing is that Faceless and Secrets are using the Israel-Hamas conflict to distract everyone from their Russian collusion. WHO ORDERED THE QUAKE??

I thought true box automatically got removed at TSS? Like they'd relax it (to 3) at OoW and then get rid of it at TSS. Thought that was on all TLPs. Unless I'm totally remembering wrong here. I got used to just keeping two spare laptops around.

Yeah the ice castle itself is the good part. The snow plain with the cats seems unfinished, or like an overextended boss run. The ice DLC has 3 bosses and 3 main sections, just like a Demon Souls archstone. I bet they also used some of that scrapped area in the Painted World (Souls 1) and the...

DS2's DLCs are awesome. Well, Sunken King is merely good, but I thought the fire and ice DLCs were probably better than the main game. My theory is that the Ivory King DLC was a repurposing of the snow lands in the scrapped 6th Archstone of Demon Souls. Which might explain why it's so good, if...

Alright, I'm getting this tomorrow night. I'll take any other starting out advice for Preacher and the game in general, sounds pretty hard.

Alright I'll go ahead and grab this tomorrow night prolly. Should I be a Preacher or a Ranger? I love Bloodborne and the latter looks like Bloodborne. The former could be interesting played as a paladin though. Does this have scaling like in Souls? Cause if the lightsaber is based off the...

There's a lightsaber? Now I definitely want to play this. If it's a literal lightsaber I mean. I saw a boss that used a lightsaber in one of the clips I watched, I assume there's a connection. Preacher is like the cleric type class I'm guessing? Gets cleric spells and can also fight to an...

Souls 2 is pretty good as it goes on, but you can tell it was made by the Fromsoft B-Team. Make sure you have the Scholar of the First Sin version. I wouldn't "power through" it because it's kind of long. It's something you don't rush IMO. Personally I'm fine with it but if you aren't you might...

Seems like the reviews of this game are all either A) It's awesome and a true new-gen Souslike, or B) It sucks Monkey Fuck Not sure what to believe at the moment so I keep going back and forth about whether to get it / spend the time. I don't care about framerate, I do care about world/level...

Are they in Najena on this server? I'd say going straight for that camp at one's earliest convenience is definitely the way to do things. @Gask Yes, you lose Slam. AFAIK you keep stun immunity

Yeah, turning off names and turning everyone into stick figures is a good way to optimize raid framerate if playing on a subpar machine. Probably makes things kind of dull though

There's a general FF thread like Denamian said and in the future we should put general FF questions there. Might even want to let this thread sorta go by the wayside since very few people are still playing the Pixel Remasters at this point. So any further questions you should put there...

Agreed on both counts, it was kind of baffling. I assume the subscriber base had really plummeted. When I was playing it a lot in the mid to late 2010's there were a ton of people playing it, knew a few people in RL offhand who were playing it even. Every time I tried to revisit it, I quickly...

This have difficulty-mitigating options (summons, spells, etc)? Not sure I have the energy for another ass-beatingly difficult game after Lies of P (and before that SL1 Dark Souls)

The last expansion didn't interest me at all and this one kinda doesn't either. Not sure what the lore here is but at least it's something new I suppose. Looks more like a LoY-style content pack. Whole thing has a "final expansion" kind of vibe to it with it being the retirement home for heroes...

Nonexistent, it took me around 35 hours to beat the game and I plowed through most of it quick too.

As I scrolled down I expected to see her sitting on Aerith's face. Or Cloud's if desperate enough. Disappointed.

I'm not gonna watch this, but it really piqued my interest to hear they were finally doing something with Thrawn. The problem is what you say here: The sequel trilogy fucks everything up. Any post-Return of the Jedi material now has very little actual gravitas because we already know how things...
