Nightreign is tomorrow. Anybody else playing it on PS5? I'm probably going to plow it all weekend. Reading that the Executioner class is basically the Sekiro playstyle, so I'll probably go with that one. Each class is a different playstyle from throughout the Fromsoft catalog, from the sound of...

I maintain that skipping the cutscenes is the way to go here, even if I'm normally against that in most games. While we're dumping on this game, it kinda feels like some studio I'm completely unfamiliar with stole the IP of Doom 2016 and is wearing it like a skin suit. I finally have some real...

Where can I watch this shitty finale? Someone drop me a link. I don't know pirating sites. Would like to check it out so I know what people are talking about, at least.

It's stunning how dramatically the show INSTANTLY improves without Bella Ramsey in it

Despot of Antrim delivers again

It's a good idea to leave general channels as quickly as possible to not have to read the 30 spammers who are incapable of getting real jobs. I can't imagine most of them are getting much business at this point, outside of short expansion launch windows. I feel bad for any actual new people who...

I can say that it was pretty much exactly 2 hours to go 60-65 in a PL last night (with a +50% potion running). There was some dead space too. If I were to guess, I'd say four hours with a +50% pot would get you from 50 to 65-67. How feasible is it to do the beastlord 1.0 on a persona at level...

Basically: -In the game, they forced you to play as an unsympathetic protagonist (She-Hulk) for a large part of the game and it turned people off. -In the show, they do the same thing in reverse by having the unsympathetic protagonist be a super mis-cast Ellie. -And speaking of mis-casts and...

Sounds like Luck is something that eats up stat points from level-ups and doesn't really have a major impact. Or maybe it does depending on who you ask. It's a weirdly esoteric stat.

The public largely is over it, yes, but the billionaires funding it are still pushing away. And enough young people with mental illness are 110% on-board to keep perpetuating it for a while longer. My main concern is how dangerous that fringe 10% are and the total lack of accountability from the...

Edit: Or not?

My mom needs a new TV, hers is ten years old and covered in screen burn-in from static images, captions, etc. Looking to spend $300 max on this because she isn't a TV connoisseur or anything. The one she has is my old LG OLED, which I frequently refer to as the only brand worth buying, but I...

Speaking of epics... we've already got 2.0s And we're hiring! Submit an application at Join the Faceless 25th Discord Server! or send a tell to Skuffle, Rajaah, or Mercane in-game.

Went and knocked out the Monk 1.0 in the last couple weeks, now that I actually need it for the 2.0. The click is still (very situationally) useful for the rare occasions where I don't have ranger buffs, very nearly on par with modern haste potions while also adding a lot of ATK. So that's kinda...

The difference is that the far left actually does have the ability to get things banned / removed from various platforms / widely condemned by their drones. Back in the day, the Christian right didn't really have any sway over GTA3 or Doom. They just complained a lot, got chuckled at by the...

Since Laurion's Song is no longer something you can buy, what's the cheapest way to get a single persona slot on an old acct that only has up to the expansion before LS? I'm hearing that single slots aren't purchasable and that I'll need to get some sort of combo pack (or buy the latest...

Any major/minor suggestions? I'm up to the part where I have to choose a star sign and of course ran into choice paralysis. The horse sign is +20 Speed, while the Thief is +10 Speed, Luck, Agility. Seems like the Thief would be a much better deal on paper, yeah? Unless Luck really is overrated...

I'm totally on the car guy's side. So many entitled cyclists running around. When I used to bike everywhere, I'd make an effort to take up as little space as possible. Nowadays I frequently see cyclists riding in the middle.of the lane, especially on narrow roads where nobody can get around them...

While I don't normally do this, a few levels in I'd say skipping the cutscenes is the way to go. I barely remember what happened so far and there are way too many of them.

Looks like a sizable effort is being made to suppress this one. Either it'll work and the game will fizzle out, or it'll turn into a cult phenomenon and blow up just because of all the attention being paid to it in an effort to suppress it. Usually attempts to crush a game end up backfiring and...

Assuming that all this EQ RPG stuff was based off of early pre-release maps, I wonder if the unused "Tower of Death" concept was what eventually became the Tower of Bertoxxulous in the SoD expansion (the one with the time travel). It's pretty much the same idea, a tower built by a death cult...

Sir

This, 1000 times this. Why couldn't he point any of that out, especially when someone was about to murder him over it? Either the writing is so incompetent that they need to have him clam up for anything to make sense, OR they don't want Joel actually getting credit for doing anything good /...

I don't generally make fun of people for actual disabilities. Main thing that bothers me about Bella's face is how goddamn fucking smug she is. Smugness is one of the most obnoxious disorders in our society today. Luckily, it tends to be a self-fixing problem over time.

My geezer experience: My first computer, as a wee boy, was a 1993 IBM with Windows 3.1 on it. Friends kept sending me Midi files and I couldn't get the sound to work. Eventually it turned out the computer didn't even have a sound card, was too primitive. Got a new one in 1998 that had Win 95 and...

That really is one of the best channels out there, I wish I had more time to go through their stuff. The cool thing is that the game actually supports all of this lore. They don't even have to reach to make connections, all of this stuff is really in there if you look around and study the game...

Wow, that map is a cool find. Freefield might actually be Freeport, would be odd for them to leave Freeport off a map like this entirely. I think the entire Lifire river disappeared from the actual game, and Rujarkian Hills got moved from the SE to the SW on later maps. For original concepts...

Things like general chat will be way more useful, yeah, with people wanting to stay on top of where the bonuses are as they move around. Unfortunately chat channels will also be inundated with relentless powerleveling spam that makes them completely unusable. Ignore lists have a limit, right? I...

Got ahold of Warhammer: Space Marine 2 and played some of that this weekend after playing the first few levels of this new Doom, and it's amazing how similar the two games are aesthetically. Main difference is that WH is third-person and Doom is first-person. Both focus a lot on lore and plot...

Playing it in bursts. A couple weeks, soon as I start to get too busy for it or something else comes out that I want to check out, I put it aside. Once I 100% the DLC I won't have anything left that's new, so I'm in no rush for it to end, no. It took me years just to get to Dark Souls 3 because...

Thousand Year Door remaster being $60 was a good example of how they fuck people over. What are the odds that these will work on a Switch 2? They work on Switch 1, and Bluetooth is Bluetooth, right?

Having played the first level (of 22), yeah this is very Warhammer-ish. Not seeing much Elden Ring similarity yet, not sure what people meant by that. Way too much melee combat, way too much lore, cutscenes, people talking in your ear, teammates to begin with... I like the dash strikes, which...

This is a sweet map, reminds me of the maps in fantasy books I read as a kid like LOTR and Prydain Chronicles. This one is actually worth hanging on a wall if I could print it out in poster format (only $20 per sheet at Staples) In other news, Jesus:

PS5 Skyrim looks decent, but it's nowhere near as gorgeous visually as Oblivion Remastered. It's the difference between a higher-res port and a full remaster. Like Dark Souls 1 Remastered vs Demon Souls Remake. Skyrim's art design is kinda ugly too, but I like the snow. Skyrim probably captured...

Picked this up to blow off some steam this weekend. Not super excited for this, but it's got the saving grace of probably not being a big time commitment. Hopefully it's in the 10-12 hour range like the other two. Doesn't this have a medieval setting (Dark Ages)? Not surprised the weapons are...

Started up the PS5 version of Skyrim that I got for like $8 on a holiday sale and was saving for this very situation. For anybody keeping score, this means I'm now concurrently playing Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. Lawl. Playing them back to back, you can really see how much more mainstream...

Agreed, if the DLCs were in the deluxe edition that'd be one thing. The way they laid out the website kinda made it look like the DLCs were part of the deluxe edition too. I hate microtransactions, but I've always had a fondness for Bethesda's DLCs (when they're actually worth getting). I'm a...

Is the Deluxe version worth paying an extra $10 for? Looks like it includes some armor sets. Not sure if I want to gimp the game if these give any major advantage. If the armors look good and don't break the game statwise, might be worth getting?

Twilight Princess on Gamecube was probably the last normal Zelda game, except it had that "play as a wolf for hours" gimmick. That was especially annoying at the beginning. You finally have the ability to swing Link's sword by swinging your arm, which is half of what we were excited about when...

Got this on PS5. Miss the KB+M controls of Morrowind and the Road Runner movement speed, but it plays really well with a controller regardless. Looks good, sounds good, runs smooth. The only issue is my complete inability to settle on a character (which is my fault), and the horrendous face...
