    Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

    That GFay story reminded me of when I tried doing a Ranger SSF Permadeath on Aradune (I think) because Zaide was doing the Paladin one at the time. It seemed really exciting on paper, then when it took me an age and a half to solo to level 3 in GFay I was like "...I think I'm too old for this"...

    Lords of the Fallen

    What'd Fextralife do? And yeah this game looks really good, but derivative as fuck (as is tradition for this studio). I like the light effects a lot.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Yeah, I'd love to see a Mario, Zelda, or Metroid game on PS5. Switch visuals are kinda pathetic at this point, at least on a TV. I know people think Nintendo's strength is innovation with hardware design, but really, I could do without innovations like motion controls going forward. I do like...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Same here, every single day I encounter traffic slowed to a crawl due to an accident. Never seen so many accidents so frequently before the last couple years and it seems to be getting worse and worse. Lately it's every day. Just constant accident backups and 2-4 car pileups. 99% of the ones I...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    Jebus, that fight looked amazing. If From ever added anything to this, a free DLC that's just a Malenia fight would be a good choice. That's something that threw me off quite a bit. In Souls (and pretty much every other game of their genre) you put your block down to speed up endurance...

    Lords of the Fallen

    I was gonna get this day one, but Lies of P kinda stole all its thunder and I got my Bloodborne-like fix for now from that. Looking forward to seeing how this one gets received though. I hope it's a lot better than the previous LOTF.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    If it's LCD instead of OLED it'll actually be a downgrade for people like me who mainly use Switch for the portable aspect. Bummer if true. However it's hard to believe there's a "digital only" option at all because of the hard drive issue. Think I might call BS on this rumor. If there are...

    Hey, a lot of people enjoy Switch's "ten years ago" old-school retro graphics... apparently.

    Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon (FromSoftware)

    Nerf hit 2 of my 3 main weapons, Zimmermans and Songbirds. The gatling guns I used were totally left alone, which is kinda weird because I think in the endgame they were probably the most OP. Not sure though, Zimmermans really did obliterate things if I could get close. Hovering with quad legs...

    Pre-ordering is something I don't generally do, and to me I think of it as going and putting the order down well in advance to "guarantee your copy" or whatever Gamestop tells people. Ordering something online the day before it came out didn't even strike me as a pre-order but rather just an...

    I bet it was level 100 without killing any bosses. You could get a bunch from that giant dragon if that's acceptable. Once you get the ball method down to a science it goes fast, so that's what I would go with. When I first played ER and hit a wall where I had to get my HP up fast because I'd...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    These damn automated "support" systems that EVERY company has now when you call them. Soon as I hear "I understand you'd like to speak to a person, but I need more information" or "I can direct your call quicker if I know why you're calling" I know I'm in for it. I can say literally anything...

    I don't normally preorder anything because it's pointless. This was actually acquired by accident. I ordered it on Bestbuy.com the day before it came out, which I guess counts as a "preorder". Then it arrived in two separate boxes which was pretty weird. One turned out to be this canvas art...

    I can't speak for the actual game because I haven't had a chance to do anything with it yet, but AC Mirage has an outstanding preorder bonus. I expected this "art print" to basically be a glorified postcard and instead I got something high-quality. I hope the effort put into this bodes well for...

    Yeah that's what I'm saying. A supposedly "profitable" company, once Musk took over, was revealed to be running at a loss of about $4M a WEEK. Some unknown entity was financing and keeping it afloat before.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/617/ This is a really good FF6 hack from what I've played. Sounds like it makes the endgame much more interesting by getting rid of the Genji/Offering spam. If I hadn't just played FF6 PR a few months ago and had some free time I'd give this a run. If anyone...

    The Continental: From the World of John Wick

    So the guy who looks and fights just like John Wick...must be his dad right? And the Vietnamese chick must be his mom? Didn't even know Keanu was half-Asian (or maybe one-quarter, we never see the chick's mom). Also makes Winston his uncle, which explains a lot. Ton of people thought he was...

    TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR (2023)

    Yeah, it's projection. Had the radio on briefly in the car earlier and there was some woman talking about "extremism" and what a huge problem it's become the last few years with young people being radicalized. ....then she started going on and on about some guy I've never heard of who...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    If this is really a thing that lets you have multiple classes on the same character, that might actually get me back playing live. My zerker on Phinny would be way better off as an SK but I wasn't gonna do a main change. Wondering how equipment is gonna be handled though. If everything you have...

    Lies of P (Souls-like)

    After all the "Laxasia took 50 tries" talk online I expected a Malenia level threat. Well, this was my first try, she had less than one hit left. I was so pissed. Got her a few tries later. Endgame stats. Technique soft-capped at 38, Vitality would have soft-capped at 30. Some more Vigor would...

    Lies of P (Souls-like)

    I'll make sure I do that. I think I'm close to the end. If I'm not mistaken I have two areas left and The last thing I did was the gank squad and it totally obliterated me. Was considering doing the platinum (which would take an entire second run to get all the boss weapons) but I gotta say...

    Lies of P (Souls-like)

    Yeh, people not in the know would think the game ends with Gehrman. I hope BB doesn't actually go to an NG+ cycle after the Gehrman ending and you have a chance to go get the real final boss, but I don't remember. I noticed that while re-speccing and letting weight go to 79%. I was pumping...

    TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR (2023)

    Oh wait, now I remember what this is about. The Jonas guy and Sansa were a thing, didn't know they broke up. I remember because I saw a bunch of pictures of them when they got together, and two things jumped out at me: -She's taller than him -In EVERY picture, she'd be looking at him or...

    JRPGs

    Couple friends of mine are getting SoS. If it's really a Chrono Trigger homage I should really play it. I'll get to it eventually. I feel like a ton of what makes CT magical is A) The interesting setting, with the time travel and the general mood of it all, B) The incredible soundtrack that...

    Lies of P (Souls-like)

    That's good to know. Cause yeah capacity is such a thorn in my side at this point. I'm at 62% right now so I'll finish getting it back to 59% (now that I have all the amulets I want), but next time I respec I might switch a lot of capacity over to HP or technique and leave it at 79% instead...

    Everquest 3 - 2028?

    To be fair, WoW gameplay in leveling PVE basically consists of hammering 1-3 number keys over and over until you win. For the entire level-up process. I remember being desperate to make the game some kind of challenge circa WOTLK, where my Mage was tanking 2-3 mobs at once with little danger...

    This "revenge outfit" stuff is apparently a thing. That first GF I mentioned who had a similar "teenage boy physique" to TS, incidentally, showed up at an event she knew I'd be at after we broke up and wore the sexiest outfit I ever saw her wear in the years I knew her. She made sure to go see...

    Lies of P (Souls-like)

    Having to do so much Capacity leveling. 2 of my 3 amulets are special amulets (extra heal charges, infinite dodge rolls) and that would put me into Heavy status if I weren't pumping Capacity. By the time I get consistently under 60% I'll probably have a third special amulet equipped (looking for...

    Everquest 3 - 2028?

    FF12's system really needs to be used again, it was interesting and deep. FF13's system got a couple of games already and I'm okay with that one not returning, but I also think it was underrated. I'd be happy if FF17 used the FF12 gambit system again but it probably won't. They seem all-in on...

    Lies of P (Souls-like)

    Yeah I'm also leaning "fuck the cube". Didn't do any farming so far. Andreus was a bitch and a half compared to previous bosses. First one with a second form, and it seemed like I was a split second too late parrying literally everything he did. Eked out a win with like 10% health left and no...

    I'm okay with that setup. FF5 is probably my favorite FF from a straight gameplay perspective. Just give me classes and good battles and I'm all set.

    Lies of P (Souls-like)

    Anyone know roughly how far along this is? Level 50 could pretty much mean anything in one of these games. I think I was like level 175 or something at the end of ER. I'm in the place that looks like Hemwick Charnel Lane, after leaving the chapel area. Noticed the game does that thing...

    Lies of P (Souls-like)

    I just beat Andreus, the giant freakish Gaping Dragon type thing. Trying to decide if I want the Trident or the heal amulet. Both look REALLY good. Trident is the best weapon according to some. Think I'll just stick with the axe until I get the Two Dragon Sword though. Hopefully that isn't much...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    These SNES RPGs (FF4, FF6, Chrono Trigger, probably others) are short relative to modern games. 8 hours is short. I could probably beat CT in sub-10 too and I haven't played it since like 2003. They're shorter than people remember them being. That's it.

    Everquest 3 - 2028?

    Yeah, I'll never get why people shit on FF13's battle system so much. Dump on the incomprehensible story and The Hallway all you want, for sure. The battle system was the good part! It was sort of like FF12's gambit system, just streamlined and simplified. Were people trying to choose individual...
