    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    Yeah I've figured that part out, was surprising. I time my parries and do fine with that, but when I just mash the button...I do fine that way too. Got the hang of it. It really is almost musical in how it plays. Slash Lady Butterfly a few times until she starts blocking, then start tapping...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Gelnika...that the Shinra plane? Maybe they just moved it. Rocket Town might have an airport. It might also be the Tiny Bronco. IDK, having late disc 2 stuff would be a bad sign (meaning they're rushing through or skipping huge amounts of stuff) but having Cid show up way earlier is also a bad...

    Monster Hunter Wilds

    It seems like they want people to associate this with World, considering it's also "MHW" and "Wilds" is somewhat similar-sounding of a word... hopefully they back that up by actually making it the next World.

    Only reason to really care about this is if you're a fan of the guy in question (or are at least familiar with him). Or are a donor.

    Any way you slice it, he lied about money "going directly to (whoever)" at every Indieland, and they only donated the money once someone called them out. I don't think any laws were broken, but it's all Very Weird.

    Yeah, I think he's accessible immediately after that first horse boss. Got Ashina Arts, tempted to do some level grinding to forage my way into that skill tree. Nothing from it yet, this was the last thing I did this morning. That overhead-slash at the beginning of Ashina looks pretty great...

    Black Myth Wukong

    Is this the first real PS5 game built ground-up in UE5? Unfortunately it's probably gonna be one of those "framerate or nice visuals?" situations where I have to drop the settings down to "normal game" level for it to move quickly. I mean if they can just get the FPS up to like 50 while...

    Was Hogwarts just completely left out of the nominations? It was potentially a top 5 game of the year objectively speaking, so while I wouldn't expect it to beat Zelda or Baldur, it should have been nominated for a few things at least.

    Reposting what I said in another thread. Yeah, I'm definitely going to give World a real go at some point. I hope I get as much out of it as most people seem to.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    How far into the game are Ashina Arts? I built up a ton of skill points (like 25 IIRC) when I was trying out the game in the past. I put a lot of them into Shinobi Arts and I think I might have wasted some levels because some of those don't look like things I'll use. Also got the heal potion...

    I tried so hard to get into this series with MH Tri Ultimate on Wii U. Wanted a whole game of Souls Boss Fights against dragons, with big swords and whatnot. Instead it was a wildlife-killing sim with no lock-on. So I was running around trying to hack up a family of wolves or something and...

    So are they gonna show Elden Ring DLC or what? Modern From hasn't missed a single Game Awards in terms of huge announcements/trailers, besides 2019 because ER was too far away to show off yet.

    Yeah the lack of communication seemed like more of a kick in the pants than the actual problem. See also: How Jirard the Completionist ruined his career the last few weeks.

    Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

    Getting a raid paladin for your guild later at the mere cost of a Ghoulbane seems like a pretty good long-term deal.

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    Yeah, these games are getting so advanced that I don't see how AAA games continue to move forward without becoming prohibitively expensive. Imagine an open world Elden Ring scale game on the PS6 built ground-up in whatever the latest version of UE5 is by then. Sure it'll sell gangbusters, but...

    The Official Conspiracy Thread

    I'm particularly interested in the David Icke one about 9/11. Lyall Watson is pretty great. I read "Lifetide" when I was like 8. Also worth a look, "Behold a Pale Horse" is a full-on beast and breaks open pretty much everything the U.S. government's been up to over the past century. It's...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Have you met EQ people? All the "alt o holics" have something new to chew on. Achievement hunters (more common than one would think in the top guilds) are probably going to be mining a lot out of this as well. People are gonna be leveling again, and with enough people leveling, the game will be...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    What would be ideal is if inventory carried over. For instance, having a BIS 2HS on a zerker, going SK, and still having that BIS 2HS be usable (at the appropriate level). Sounds like each persona has their own inventory, with only heirloom items carrying over, and that isn't the best.

    So...the MAGA republicans and the democrats are united on UAP transparency while the globalist shill GOP are against it? ...but what about the globalist shill DNCers? And how does a fraction of GOP have the power to stop the whole thing if most of the others are against them? So it's possible...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    Seeing shots from the game side by side with RL video really demonstrates how nice these graphics are. A couple times I forgot which side was the game. The girl twerking on the car roof in real life is latina and way, way hotter than the one in the game. Nice going, Rockstar.

    Having played every Zelda game except the CD-I ones, Skyward Sword, and the latest two on Switch... The two on DS were absolutely my least-favorite Zeldas. They're like 10 hours long, but feel like they're 30 because they sure are tedious to play. They forced stylus controls with both of them...

    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) (2022)

    Finally watched this (for free), came here to point out how completely blatant of a trans metaphor this is with the colors and the things she's saying. Tons of subliminal messaging with this movie. ...then I get here and find everyone talking about the colors already. Lawl. Yeah it was pretty...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    It looks to me like the stupid fucking twerking is probably relegated to cutscenes and interior areas where you can't actually mow everyone down. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the freedom to mow in general was significantly curtailed, but I guess we'll see. If it does let you blast twerkers...

    Seems like it. Also the dungeons (1-4, 2-4, etc) seem to take away your special weapons until the level is over, which makes like, zero sense. The eggplant status effect is possibly the most annoying status effect I've ever dealt with in a game, and the game would have been twice as good if it...

    I bought Blazing Saddles and a bunch of other classic movies with "problematic language" in recent times. They might be flying under the radar now but fast forward a few years and they're the stupid controversies of 2030.

    Finally made some real progress on Kid Icarus this weekend. Not too far from the end I think. Really weird how it gets so much easier as it goes on. Always heard how blisteringly tough the game is, but only World 1 was really blistering. There are only four worlds too. I think the further...

    I didn't like Ys IX at all. As someone who has played pretty much the whole series (besides the Japan-only ones) and really loved the 2D Ys games. I basically just found myself lost all the time in Ys IX. And there was so much talking. And they kept cutting back to the prison. And Adol didn't...

    What's up with modern Kraft mac n cheese? Back in my day it had a powdered cheese mix that was pretty solid. I get a few boxes out of nostalgia and now most of them have this damn cheese goo paste. It doesn't mix nearly as well as the powder and it tastes a lot more artificial. Worst part is...

    It goes beyond that, he's someone who was celebrated as a "good one" in an era where a lot of youtubers ended up having controversies or turned out to be assholes. Everyone who met him had a high opinion of him. Also this cameo in Sea of Stars is going to age really Really Poorly

    Dragon Quest: The Definitive Thread

    A bit of an important note for anyone planning to play Dragon Quest 7 on the 3DS (like me). Looks like Nintendo is shutting down the DLC server for it in April 2024. I haven't played it yet so I'm not entirely sure what this means. Will things still be playable if you've accessed them, or will...

    Yakuza series

    Finished this game. Really worthwhile for a Yakuza fan, even if it's on the short side. Feels like one last hurrah for the old Yakuza style of game before it goes turn-based. The ending is probably the most powerful moment in the whole series.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    It's going to add a ton of replay value to the game and get people into the leveling content again, making the game friendlier to new players. People with box groups will be able to try different combinations. I mean, if this goes off without a hitch / being completely broken, it's a huge net...

    Yeah, nothing interesting though, he's just really accessible when he shows up at an event. If one talks to him it's almost unbelievable that he'd engage in any shady shit because he's so damn...wholesome. That said, I don't know how much of it is an act, given that if you go back and watch his...

    Furiosa (2024)

    I get the same vibe I get from her that I get from Margot Robbie, that she's sort of an "it girl" for the Epstein crowd / people that control the entertainment industry. Her success / level of being "in everything" is not proportional to her talent or popularity.
