    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    They really need to bring on someone who actually has an idea on how to actually tell a story. I think Tabata is great at actual mechanic design for the most part. The gameplay of FF XV is very solid. But after playing two of his games, his story telling is really really bad. Let the story...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Dear Jesus God in Heaven, who in the hell allows an already hormonal overdosed woman go without caffeine? I don't care what studies say, my wife without coffee in the morning is a dangerous beast that cannot be cornered.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This so much this. While my wife and her helper were out making deliveries, I had to run to the dollar store to pick up a plunger (long story that I may tell in the parenting thread), and seriously the line was to the back of the building of poor dudes who after a long day of hard labor were...

    Ok bananas and coke dating dead pigeons and crazy horny? God speed good man. Anyway I have now learned the true secret to making valentines not suck: having your wife own her own catering company. She did a prime rib for two date night in which was a huge success along with chocolate covered...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    that is really cool, but to me it kind of appears to suck because to get to that point where it can be viable you have to play as a melee character for quite a while. I could be wrong on that, but dude was chucking a shit load of stars and knives and I think you only start out with a few at first.

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    See even the version of why he does it is different. That's the first I've heard of it being because he was playing western games. The version I always heard was he read books, I'm assuming written in English, and could only make sense of half the story. The rest is the same though. I...

    The Walking Dead

    And yet the most consistent complaint I have seen has been the pacing of this show and how all the filler sucks. And honestly, I think this season just had too many strikes. The torture porn of the first episode turned a few people off, and the terrible pacing chased away even more. The...

    Yeah I think Medium is too half assed of a commitment to be honest. If you want to go in and block, heavy is the way to go. If you want to dodge (which is my thing) light makes that way more forgiving. Not saying you can't dodge in heavy, but when your weight is blue, your distance (and thus...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    Digital is too much of a pain in my situation of multiple ps4s and no internet. I was going to do it on all brand new purchases, and set my sons as the main ps4 so he could play on his account. Fired up mine to play it and found that not only is it restricted to my account but you have to be...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    Yeah my impression of the Souls games are they are much different, I just came way too late to the party to really make sense of it. Bloodborne just changed tones way too abruptly and I think it really fell apart to make any sense. I mean the overall arc of appeasing the space aliens was ok...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    I never play games for the story anymore. Most of them are contrived to plausibly fit into the action of the game. However, I will say this, anything should be better than the souls stuff. I swear Miyazaki makes a whole lot of crap up and throws it on all the descriptions and sits back to see...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    I absolutely am not far enough to tell. I am axe and sword. I love the axe to pieces with that high stance strong attack thing. However it is a straight line and if the mob jumps out of that line, it totally misses and leaves you fairly open. It does have a spin to win ability you can unlock...

    The Walking Dead

    Yep the original show runner really just took the basic framework of the comics and was trying to develop an entirely different story for TV. Personally that's what got me hooked. I actually liked that style and thinking a whole lot more than what we got now. Yeah the second season really...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    I mean I've only played DS 3 and Bloodborne, but once I found my weapon, I just rolled with it. Once I got my Ludwig's, that's all I used. Once I got the massive two hander from the black night in crucifix woods, I stayed with that, and only used my dark sword when I needed more speed. Maybe...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My Gaydar goes to screeching levels with the Property Brothers, big time, so I'd imagine it has to for women... At the very least, they are extremely metrosexual, which I do find somewhat ironic as Jonathan is actually in one of the more manly careers possible. Flip or Flop is ok, but yeah I...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    I took the chain weapon as a secondary in my restart to try new weapons and holy jesus huge difference. The axe was just too slow I guess. Which is odd as I'm a slow weapons guy in the From games. I'm a dirty casual so I'm slowly chipping my way through the burning village still. I'm in the...

    I am with you there. I love my wife and I don't regret getting married, but shit is hard work. If for whatever reason she is no longer in the picture, I damn sure really don't want to have another go at it. And there was a web comic one time where all the frames was of a wife/girlfriend...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    See this is what makes these games so frustratingly awesome. There are so many different angles and views to what is right etc. Up until now most places I have been have stated that the ki pulse dodge ability is a oh shit card to use if you are on the verge of getting winded, and the mob is...

    Wow... night two on this game and Namon has realized that he is A: old B: has a hard skill ceiling... C: that is high enough to accommodate midgets. This game is amazing. This game is seriously fucking deep. This game absolutely will not be fully utilized by me. As a guy who has a hard time...

    Show Me Your Keychain

    I'm a net admin for a school system so I'm basically a janitor with a million keys to let me into any room in all of the buildings. I use these to hold each set of keys, and I can attest that I would be the first one to vote the inventor of these gifts from God to sainthood. One handed works...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    Considering (by their own words in an interview) touching up the video footage they showed at E3 last year, I think this, in typical Nomura fashion, is well on pace to be out by 2040. It is amazing that any board of directors with any sense allows these dumbasses running square's dev teams to...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah when I got married it was the same thing, but I just did not have the luxury of ever being able to get back into MMO's. Way too many needs to jump up right that second and without being able to pause, and with no internet available, it got sticky so I just had to drop MMO's. I just game...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Thank god I was barely in my twenties and very single and still living with my parents at the time. I still kept a job and whatnot, but every non working moment was spent in Norrath for that 2 year period and I don't have to regret it. I could never do it now, nor would I really want to (well...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah, I know it does. Sadly my house falls just outside the lines of our local oligarchs' willingness to run internet to, and they won't let anyone who is willing to do it either, so offline it is for me with only cellular data. I used to be able to play online when I could fully shut off...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Me and my wife have had that exact conversation on multiple occasions... complete with the ending. She has a lower libido and I have an extremely high one, well no shit the one who wants it more sporadically needs to initiate when they feel the urge, unless they want to be pawed 24 hours a day.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    Good that means they are confident in this game being well received. I went ahead and pre-ordered with my mountain of gift cards I got for Christmas, as I love the concept of open world and robot dinosaurs Oh well hell, nevermind

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm a dirty console player, and while waiting on Nioh to come, I picked this back up to work towards my plat. One of the key trophies is getting all the characters to 70. Completed the witchdoctor. Holy crap at how slow cooked they are as a class. It was painful at first, but by the time I...

    I am so pumped for this game, but since I have only mobile internet at home AND will be away on a bang marathon weekend with the wife, I will miss out on this.

    Breaking Bad

    I too waited for this show to run a marathon, and it finally happened. It really was an amazing show, and I loved every minute. I just have to be brutally honest and say that I was completely underwhelmed by the ending. I personally thought that the entire show, from the pilot to the...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I completely agree with this. I saw a interview with Tabata linked yesterday where he said he was working on an expansion. Honestly I wish he was just working on completing the other areas of the game after Caem and putting in all the scripted cut scenes. I hope that he is to some extent because...

    I hope they run another marathon. I would like to rewatch it to refresh my memory but I was in the middle of the BrBa marathon when it came on over christmas break and forgot to record it.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I just got into Chapter 12 this past weekend, and holy shit at how obvious it is that they had the world built up to the Cleigne area, and the bean counters said, you have 6 months to release it. So they then gave up even trying to build any more zones, grabbed the major plot points at the end...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Same here I keep forgetting they have a second screen. I just know the DS had a much more classic feel to many of their games and where many of the Japanese developers flocked to, and my hope was they would continue that on an affordable machine that could be hooked up to a full on TV (I...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    They made it a full on console, that is a full generation behind in specs mind you, that you can pick up and game on the go with it, versus making it the next gen handheld that you can dock to your TV. $199 was the sweet spot they should have been aiming for, with full compatibility (through...

    Survivor

    Russel's game play was pretty bad in HvV though. He was robbed in Samoa for sure, but in HvV, it was Parvati who should have won that one. Sandra just floated all the way to the end, and then stirred the shit a little from the distance and scored a win from a butt hurt jury. I know I'm...

    Survivor

    What a meh ending and a meh winner. Ken was screwed either way going into the final three. His best chance was to force a tie and pray Adam won. That way he could practice what he endlessly preached and had somewhat of a chance. While not fantastic by any stretch of the imagination, I did...

    The Walking Dead

    Yeah, we do too, we wait until 8:30 to start watching. I just never actually sat down and counted how long each commercial was. I had to watch last week's episode online, and saw that the run time was just a shade over an hour for an hour and a half long aired episode.
