    Fallout 76

    Exactly. The key difference is No Man's Sky at least knew what kind of game it was, and it was a game people really wanted. The only problem was, it was missing the majority of what needed to go in there. Fallout 76 couldn't be any further removed from what Fallout (both the Interplay and...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    I have no idea how they do NG+ They claim there are still levels in a way it's just you won't be buying stat points but you invest into a talent tree-esque system where there are three different sections that pertain to a play style. This is actually one of my biggest concerns from the get go...

    Deaths and Inheritance

    For the sake of simplicity I'll just say my wife's grandpa (it's more complicated than that in actuality involving step people) died in 2016. Dude was worth around the same as your grandmother, but somehow they had everything set up in this weird corporation structure and it's just being...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Personally at this point. Cancel episode IX, let TLJ be the ending to the series, and then sit on it for a couple years and then start over way into the future with a whole new story line involving the force with new characters and what not. Someone else mirrored my sentiments. I actually...

    Frozen 2 (2019)

    I am just now getting Frozen (Let it go) out of my head and my bank account recovered from the constant barage of frozen dresses, frozen backpacks, frozen lunch boxes, and frozen bed sheets. Holy Christ, this is going to be a rough year for parents with young daughters.

    EA and WOTC have successful online games and Activision-Blizzard is failing hardcore.

    See this has been Blizzard's problem since forever. The difference is, the game they FINALLY came out with was very well received. Personally I never saw why their games ever took that long. Not arguing they weren't good, but they never seemed to have the complexity to justify the 2-3x longer...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    K chains are actually completely broken OP. Pump Dex, learn to block juke to behind the enemy and absolutely destroy them. Then you can also go living weapon for icing on the cake. My main build is an axe build. I have two sets. My offensive set is a mixture of sets where the bonuses buff skill...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    Exactly and that was this game's biggest fault was the word of mouth marketing. The viral marketing tried to paint this as a souls like, and it isn't... at all. The only thing they share with souls is a stamina based combat system and a similar "buy a stat" leveling system. After that, they...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    The problem with Nioh (so another thing they need to fix for 2) is the fact that it is REALLY front loaded on the difficulty. The first 3 almost 4 regions in the game host the hardest bosses by a mile. They are cake once you have enough skills unlocked and have the gear to enhance said skills...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    See to me Nioh is more akin to Diablo than Souls. The item hunt is absolutely amazing to me and a big part of why I have put so many hours into it. As far as the battle mechanics go, the only thing I felt was needlessly complex was the damn flux system. I ain't got time to ki pulse AND swap...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    So strange as this is seriously becoming my favorite game of the gen, even over Bloodborne. I absolutely can't wait for Nioh 2. I finally have my main character pushing for the final difficulty and to fully dive into the Abyss (999 floor dungeon that is the end game). I don't even want to...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Regardless of my feelings on the actual game... this needs to die F2P or a bought game. 20 bucks for shit is insane. Fuck Fortnite and Roblox are both completely "free" to play and have cost me way more than my 84 dollars invested into Nioh, which gave me nearly 1000 hours of entertainment...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Something tells me they are going to be underwhelmed. I get it's Bioware, but this isn't Bioware from a few years ago where people loved their games. This is the Bioware who is coming off the abortion that was ME:A. It will be a success if they commit to it and keep support up, but I would...

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    This is my main reason for losing interest in sports quickly. It just feels so rigged. Wow the Pats made it to the SB yet again after a few teams in the AFC were pretty good this year. Yeah I totally buy that. It's the same thing with College football. There will never be a final four...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    That'd be cool but Fortnites Save the World is kind of that already. It reminds me of a cross between Warframe's missions and some light building like Dragon Quest Builders. But yeah I'd be totally down with a looter shooter. However, it's kind of weird (and VERY anecdotal), but my son and...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I'd argue that's a matter of available start up costs. Fortnite did the WoW thing and shot low so they could run on anything to broaden the audience even more. But things like Warframe did not have the financial backing of EA or even Bioware with an already established history of high quality...

    I actually hate to admit this publicly but we all have our vices and those are mine. So checkmate on you I guess.

    The Eating on a Budget Thread

    Maybe in NJ but around here (and their HQ is located a half hour from my house) DG is legit a cheaper convenience store. They are competing with the Gas Stations and Walgreens/CVS and actually offering shit at prices that aren't $$poundyouintheass levels. Yeah you can buy basic bitch shit like...

    The Eating on a Budget Thread

    We do Aldi and Sam's (Costco is not that huge here in Mid Tennessee), and Khane, legit I feel for you dude, and I think you are right on your conspiracy. Here in red as hell Tennessee, organic lovers are mocked so our produce stays consistent. But Whole Foods is the same thing... they put on a...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    This is why most of these games would really do themselves a huge favor by either going F2P or very cheap. Go the Fortnite route and release an early access. The optics are ok because there is no cover charge to play. However in the case of an RPG, I dont' have a problem with buying items...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yeah, I don't mind loot tables being shared, but seriously if I have to spend 10000 hours farming the spider queen in spider nest castle to build up enough spider leg husks to shit out 1000 copies of the same armor trying to get maximised rolls? Yeah that shit is fucked, let me go back to...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Going back a couple of pages, and I have to agree. I'm tired of RNGesus. I agree with Ut, I preffered EQ's system. Rare spawn that wasn't always there, so when the Frenzied Ghoul finally popped you knew that was your shot at an FBSS, and even then, it didn't always drop. Playing high level...

    Fallout 76

    It's funny the bugs and glitches weren't that big of a deal to me, as I really just treat it as a game to mess around in with my nephew and son. BUt holy shit the keeping up with water and food while everything poisons you so you need to go find Radaway just got annoying as hell. At least I...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It all depends on the attitude. If you want total agency over your life and its decisions and not be beholden to someone else's feelings in every decision you make, that's totally cool but you should be honest with yourself and say you aren't up for marriage or any long term partnership. There...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I know this is 4 pages ago for current but I had to reply to this. There are also other factors. Like my case, one aspect of our marriage is beyond miserable, but any time I have that blunt inner conversation with myself about one life blah blah, I am reminded that pretty much every other...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    Nioh had it and it was a god send. I get not being able to pause while online, but it was retarded for normal single player gameplay. I can't count how many wife faction points I lost due to her having something melt down and I was like "HOLD ON I CAN'T PAUSE" And I just watched that...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    Going to repeat what everyone else said just to reaffirm them. Origins will feel way watered down compared to Odyssey just because that was their first attempt at adding in the RPG elements. It's still a great game, but if the character building was one of your main appeals, Origins will...

    Which games did you enjoy/disliked most in 2018?

    Loved: God of War. Excellent Story. Game play was amazing. Did not care for the post game grind, but the Valkyrie bosses were amazing. Only thing I did not care for was the abrupt and anticlimatic ending because sequal! Assassin's Creed Odyssey. This game is just amazing to me. Only...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    That's what I meant when I was saying I don't care what they identify as, these people just know how to make fun as hell games. And honestly after going through the late game Athens story line, you can totally infer any and all hyperbole on Trump (Kleon) and the deep state (the cult), and it...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.. at all. Khane, go with god and do god's work. I have nothing but respect because you absolutely know you and have no qualms with who you are. I think this notion that everyone should get married is detrimental. No... no you shouldn't. I...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    That is the stuff I'm most excited for. Yeah the DLC stuff is cool but like you have said, it's just a few hours tops. I wish they'd addpot an MMO model and at least release new "Raids" or areas. I guess in the end that paid DLC will equal a full on expansions worth but doling it out over...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    Holy crap the gift that keeps on giving: This Month in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – January 2019 I'm still not done with the main game yet. Hit 50 and unlocked the mastery thing. And I still have December's stuff to get through AND now this. I'm still waffling between all out Melee Warrior or...

    Fallout 76

    That's pretty damn sadistic lol. No really... that's a lot of thought going into something like that. With that said, due to fire sales I picked this up on the cheap since the son wanted it for Christmas as all of his online friends had it. I don't hate it. I think many of the bugs are...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    There used to be a joke a while back about an anti-aphrodisiac: wedding cake. And I truly believe it now. Our sex life was great until after marriage and especially after our first kid. Then it went to the tank. Got even worse after our second kid. Then there was a 2 year reprieve where...

    Fallout 76

    Totally a possiblity and it'd be dumb if it's true. I think a large portion of the bile aimed at Bethesda is rooted in the old school fans of Fallout feeling jilted from the change in focus. I really think having Obsidian make a spin off, using the same engine, still taking place on the west...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    This is what I have heard, and I really believe they had a finite number of these they were planning on doing, and then the popularity exploded so money trumped artistic vision and welp here we are. I personally think they could have just finished the Ezio story with the ultimate ending set in...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    That statement was in reference to their virtue signaling they do every time you start up the game. I don't care who they are or what they are, they make fun games so I will continue to play them, so the self back patting they do is pointless. So I agree with you. The difference is, while...

    Fallout 76

    This is where I diverge from a lot of you around here. Was this game a shit show? Absolutely. Was their complete bungling of anything remotely PR related a shit show as well? Abso-fucking-lutely. However at the end of the day both Skyrim and Fallout 4 sold upwards to 20 million copies each...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I kind of regret bringing it up because no it's not blatant at all. I can't stress enough, the game is awesome and hits almost every one of my tick boxes for what I want out of a game, and is legit right up there with God of War for my 2018 favorite game.
