    No Man's Sky

    I'm working on this new expedition now. Does require being a lot more careful to avoid dying but it's not too hard so far.. The riskiest part of it so far has been collecting eggs, I had one where I popped it and while waiting for the egg to start rolling several of the monstrosities hit me...

    The Netflix Thread

    Looking forward to knives out 2, the first one was a lot of fun. Looks like it's got an excellent cast too apart from Mrs Smith.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I think people are too fixated on the content of the original game. They could make as many or as few FF7R parts as they want to and still make them all good if they create enough meaningful content to flesh them out. FFXIV is a good example of this. The whole...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    That's just what you want to think because you're Seymour Skinner. If that is the message you get from every game/tv show/movie then you probably need to see a psychologist about your paranoia/anxiety problem. I'll just give you one simple obvious example of how this has always been here. One of...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that companies slowly lose the ability to create fun and creative games after a decade or more of success. Their innovation is slowly strangled out of them by the shareholder demand of infinite growth, which results in extremely conservative decision making...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Funny I'm the opposite. I played HFW first and to me it's the best of it's genre so far. Now I'm working through Elden Ring and I'm strongly feeling the urge to go back and replay HFW since NG+ is out now. Don't get me wrong, Elden Ring is an excellent game and I have definitely enjoyed it so...

    Ms. Marvel

    I watched it - it was pretty boring. I'm not the target audience - which was obvious from the trailers. Kids liked it. In fact it was just like watching Raising Dion or We Can Be Heroes with them which I found even more boring than Ms Marvel.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Solo is a lot more worthy of a watch than ep8/9. Not saying much I know but it's not as stupid, or as offensively destructive to the SW universe as ep8, and isn't as JJ Abrams as ep9.

    The Boys

    I binge watched this late last night and that scene 10 minutes into ep1 I couldn't control myself, I burst out laughing so loud I woke my family up. Amazing stuff, looking forward to the rest!

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Chow has directed some good stuff including some excellent Mando episodes. At least one of the biggest problems I have with Ep3 of Obi-Wan must pretty much be her fault based on my extremely limited understanding of how film making works. Specifically 3rd sister teleporting to the end of the...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Any info about the 'new weapons' added?

    Love, Death & Robots

    I hated the three robots one more than Jibaro. Jibaro had things going for it like it looked fantastic, had interesting use of sound and was fucking weird as shit. The three robots one just felt like I was being lectured by some annoying millennial. All in all it was an excellent season.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Since you haven't even finished the tutorial and you're already complaining about the game it's probably best you do refund it. To answer your question he is with you for about 1% of the game. Since you hate Varl so much you might actually be pretty happy with how the game progresses.

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Andromeda while obviously unfinished and lacking in a variety of ways still had plenty going for it and generally wasn't as bad as people say.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Well for me, slings and sharpshooter bows were 2 of my 3 main used weapon types (along with hunter bow). Sharpshooter was for initiating combat, usually either by stripping parts using sharpshot tear arrows, or just going for straight damage with advanced sharpshot arrows which would 1 shot most...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I definitely want DLC. H:FW is an absolutely top shelf gaming experience. The same dumdums who shit up every movie/tv/game thread complaining about how woke it is are so repetitive & boring now that they are getting easier to ignore. Children who fear the boogeyman see him in every cupboard...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    Scarlet Witch brutally murdering the illuminati was worth the price of admission. On the whole the movie was good. Only major problem I had was Wong giving up the origin of the Darkhold so easily. That was lame as fuck and ruined his character. Scarlet Witch should have just forcefully taken...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    It looked good visually when it came out. At least that's what my memory is telling me.

    Ozark

    Well thats the end of an excellent show. Even though the end was fairly unsatisfying at least the show ended unlike most others that just peter out or get cancelled. They must have written Wendy to be unlikable on purpose, she constantly fucked up every single thing she touched to the point I...

    Moon Knight

    I'm ready to be wrong but I don't think they'll use the third personality this season. I am enjoying this show. I was obsessed with egyptian mythology as a teenager (a long time ago) and this is bringing back a lot of fond memories from studying, visiting museums etc about it. Oscar Isaac is...

    Lost Ark Online

    Can confirm. I'm 1340 (only just!), no alts, extremely casual, started more than a week after launch. Some weeks I don't even complete the 6x chaos dungeon weekly (like this week where I only did 4). Don't do abyss dungeon or generally any other content other than chaos/guardian/una's most days...

    The Outer Worlds

    Funny, I thought NWN2 was pretty dull. I prefer Tyranny or POE. Still a far cry from KOTOR2 though yeah.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yep, I was the only entrant and it rolled a 0, didn't win. Now I have to wait for the award cycle to finish so I can bid again and pray.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Anyone who finds it upsetting when every other NPCs mention their same sex life partner might find this game difficult to enjoy.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    If you're only a little bit into HFW then you haven't done the content in that video. When you say it requires a hundred moves in order you make it sound like a street fighter combo. Have you actually done climbing in HFW? You push the thumbstick in the direction you want to climb and if there...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Have you played that sequence in the video? There's no guesswork involved. If there are multiple climbing paths and you choose the 'wrong' path you don't start from the beginning, you go back the way you came. 'wrong' paths usually result in hidden treasure/POIs. Making a mistake/falling off...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I don't understand what you mean by grindy. That kind of cave delving/exploration is similar across both games. That video could easily be compared to exploring GAIA prime in HZD. Both games are almost identical in terms of open world. You do a small tutorial (HZD young aloy delving / HFW...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Since I enjoyed the hell out of HFW I am replaying HZD which I never actually finished originally. HFW is such a good sequel, just iterated on an already great game to improve most aspects slightly.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    So is there actually a game or does Starfield just consist of people sitting around a table talking about a game they want to make but don't know how to?

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    That's a subjective question. I played it on PS5 and it was excellent.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Not sure about that, we need Heph in the wilds to make all the machines for us to kill, it's basically the spine of the game.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Just finished it myself, did every achievement except the racing one because I don't enjoy them. There's no achievement for playing the card/chess game, which I barely tried because I don't like it either. Game is really excellent, the combat is absolutely top notch. Great story too, I didn't...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Ran'jit was a terrible Kai Leng storywise but he did give Thancred some great moments. The fight where you play Thancred and pull out every trick in the book trying to win was pretty epic. I had a felt an ongoing issue with Thancred where he had minor resentment that you are the hero of the...

    Satisfactory

    The mod Smart! might be what you're looking for, it doesn't copy paste but it does automatically add and connect belts and copies recipes when planting a new building next to an existing one. That's what I used for scaling up and it makes it extremely fast. For example if you have a...

    Satisfactory

    I mostly just use stackable conveyors to bring things back to base. If you're moving things extremely far then trains are an option. I never found trucks to be functionally useful but they are a bit of fun.
