    Dark Souls 3

    Dunno but I can't wait. If any company does dlc better than From - DLC that consistently compares favorably with or exceeds the vanilla game - I don't know of them. I guess one or two Borderlands dlc's were that good, but their quality overall was really inconsistent.

    Final Fantasy XV (PS4 / XB1 / PC)

    Yeah, you can definitely win it. I didn't bother though, because while the reward is unique at that point in the game, its acquisition doesn't really provide much of a tangible benefit later on. It's an item that fills in a blank sphere with a str+ iirc. You need tons of them to max out sphere grid.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I still have an operational PS3, so Cold Steel at least isn't an issue. P4G, on the other hand - fuck. I want it.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Fair enough, but a dealbreaker either way. I'd love to play all those rpg's and I don't mind a handheld, but I guess I'm looking at trying my luck at a PSTV. Or just saying fuck it because I have a PS3, PS4, and a PC. The first two share some of the vita's library, and steam appears to be...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I was actually prepared to buy a vita a few days ago until I read about the memory thing. Current model has 1gb on-board, which is nothing, especially considering it's probably bound up by os software. And at least half my interest in the system is its digital-only backlog of psp gems I never...

    Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius

    I don't have any good units at all, but definitely not rerolling and definitely just gonna sit on these tickets until there are more than a few good units to pray for, or until there's a rateup on those few.

    StarOcean 5 : Integrity and Faithlessness

    Not sure what to think or whether to buy. Western obsession with sandboxy wrpgs has coincided with an escalating, reflexive hostility to jrpgs and makes it difficult to take reviews seriously. Otoh, a lot of people who DO like and enjoy jrpgs are saying it's shit, yet others are claiming the...

    I'm holding off as well. Still playing Odin Sphere and Grand Kingdom is unexpectedly awesome, so I'm not especially rpg-starved right now.

    Grand Kingdom (PS4)

    I just started this last night and like it pretty well so far. Game was really fucking annoying for the first hour, however, as I was too drunk to figure out that non-casters could hit more than once per turn, so I'd reached he conclusion that melee was utterly worthless. Once I figured that out...

    Final Fantasy XV (PS4 / XB1 / PC)

    Hopefully he's just referring to the story itself. I'd certainly hate to be informed that the game in its entirety - story, side quests and postgame - can be completed in 50 hours.

    Persona 5 - Coming to...

    I need to give P4 another shot as P3 is one of my favorite games ever. Didn't like the cast in P4 as much and never.finished it.

    Same here. Had missed out on it completely in-era owing to MMO addiction. Wasn't too keen on the characters, but theynailedthe combat and leveling.

    Person of Interest

    In invoking the term 'villain' of the week, I didn't really mean for it to be interpreted literally. The spitting out of irrelevant numbers is a functional analog, though, in that it allows for episodic arcs that resolve themselves at the end of each episode, with a little bit of overarching...

    Person of Interest

    Watching this now. Season 1 was pretty rough - an utter chore, honestly - what with its villain of the week format that I've always found repellant. Season two was a lot better and got quite good as they wove Root (holyfuckshe's gorgeous) and the HR case into the plot. I zoned out a little too...

    No Man's Sky

    I think a lot of the hype is coming fom the console crowd. Not hatin' - I play a lot of ps4 myself - but I'm not sure people who don't play PC games have as much exposure to procedural generation and how its promise of infinite worlds doesn't really mean what they might expect it to mean...

    Just got my best potg ever. Laid down a turret and killed four people while hammering it into level two. Hilarious replay.

    Dark Souls 3

    It was an easy and consequence-free way to shore up hype. It doesn't forbid remakes or rereleases, nor does it preclude a new Demon's Souls or Bloodborne, and implicit in the statement that it's the final entry is the claim that ths team went all out to make the best game possible. And not...

    Overwatch

    Overwatch is the best shooter I've played since UT'99. Blizzard should be lauded for launching such an exceptional game as their first FPS. If somebody told me I'd be hopelessly addicted to a fucking shooter - one where the single weapon you start with is the only one you ever get - I'd have...

    Abovementioned meme perfectly captures my experience thus far, but the game is fun as hell. Only tried Reaper and Widow - both fun as fuck.

    Weird, going at about 3 megs a second for me - not great, but pretty good for PSN. Try starting and stopping the download? Gonna be feeling PC envy on this one, but not quite ready to update rig.

    Dark Souls 3

    Can attest to the claim that the Washing Pole seems better than other katanas. Used it through most of my first playthrough as a dex build and it was the only weapon of its type that performed as I'd hoped. It doesn't seem much slower than other katanas (itisslow, but so, inexplicably, are...

    A mix of white, yellows and blues. Didn't change area so shoulda been pretty consistent throughout.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Xp seem screwy as fuck to anybody? I mean I'm aware of the solo xp nerf, but my necro's xp per kill is all over the fucking place at level 9. I know the server supposedly disabled the raf benefits, but it almost seems like I get the passive bonus (+100% when grouped with the referred account...

    Final Fantasy XV (PS4 / XB1 / PC)

    I've played 'em all from VI to present except for 13-3 and and 10-2 the only one I didn't enjoy was 13-2. 12 was indeed awesome, but I never beat it. 13 wasn't great, but I enjoyed the combat.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Yeah, I'm having major xp issues. Figures Commonlands was a nice point for my halfling druid and gnome necro to meet up to group, but it's camped to hell with people being powerleveled. XP rates while duoing are abysmal

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Sold Krono, so sitting on 7.5k plat. Sticking around EC tunnel for a bit - I want to at least buy some bags, and hopefully scavenge for some armor for druid and necro on the cheap. Got a Savant's Cap for free, lol.

    I know (and remember) rogues being shitty in early EQ, but weren't they fucking insane in Velious/PoP? (Luclin made all melee shitty iirc, what with Shissar AC)

    So Druid, Necro and Rogue are all a-ok for grouping? Damn, shit's changed.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Still trying to decide on two classes anyway. On the Druid, I'm settled, even if nobody else likes them. The other, though - the fact that soloing (or duoing) is shitty changes things a bit. My two favorite classes are Druid and Rogue, and while they make for a shitty duo, they're workable in a...

    Yellows steamroll me. I can only lifetap like 5 times before running oom, after which I get destroyed.

    I remember quite clearly the magnitude of the grind, but I don't remember level fucking two being such a struggle.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Christ, soloing nerfed? What about duoing? Started last night and was having enough trouble as is with no bags and no plat (not sure how I had the patience for this way back when), buthavingto group is probably a dealbreaker since I don't have all day of every day anymore. edit: Necro and Druid

    Dark Souls 3

    I'm doing Shackles online as well, but I'm well below 80% winrate and probably below 50%. My build is shit for pvp and I often get gangraped 3v1. I pretty much never get summoned into a fair fight.

    Dark Souls 3

    Covenant farming is really, really hamstringing my continued interest in the game, but I think I'm about done. Concords and Sunlights are 30/30, Shackles 24/30, Wolf Grass 10/30 and the latter seems like a much more common drop than commonly claimed.

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

    Damn, thanks for typing that all out, Ut. Will +1 when not on phone. Still undecided, but it's interesting that your reaction to UC2 is quite similar to mine, yet UC4 won you over.

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

    Any chance I'd like this if I didn't care for its predecessors? I admired UC2 for its excellence across all objective metrics, but I didn't like the way it controlled, I didn't like the way it handled platforming and I didn't like the sense of spending an entire game traversing a hollywood set...

    Dark Souls 3

    Yeah, that's when I've been popping my coin. Nice drops on these enemies at the least - I'll have more embers and sharp gems than I'll ever need when I'm done. Definitely don't need the shards, though, as I capped them out then sold ~200 of each when I was done with Concord farming because I...

    Dark Souls 3

    I'm using Anri's for now. I respecced to a 50 luck build for farming. I know 99 is better for farming, but I want to retain some pvp viability. The issue on the pvp side is a) my build isn't optimized for it and b) I'm not very good at it. If I go to catacombs to farm shackles, my issue is...
