    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I think I am going to hang up my FF14 hat. Made it to 55 now, so I feel I have a solid grasp of the game at this point. My frustration comes in because it's gone from a game experience, to an anime experience. I'm at a point to where it goes from....talk to npc, 5 min cut scene....port to next...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    At what point do you start running into people in the adventure zones? I have made it to level 52 now, and do not think I've seen a single word uttered across any zone I've been to in 65+ hrs. Is this basically a lobby game at this point of its life, kinda like how..I think it was wotlk...that...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I certainly can't say that I was very disappointed in the title. I grew up with D1 and D2, really enjoyed and had fun with D3.....it was really hard to imagine D4 would be such a dumpster fire. I didn't mind the graphics and sound, even though I still think 3 is better in that dept, but the...

    There are more people like you. However, there are more people that are not like you...than are like you and it will not make a dent. Football for example, my favorite video games....has been decimated by EA and their absolute fucking trash of what Madden has become. No matter how bad each...

    Last Epoch

    This game could have released 2 years ago and still been better then D4. I've run multiply classes to cap and had no problem. They are still adding systems and classes, balancing here and there...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Never played this, and thinking of giving it a go. What server is recommended for filthy casual like myself? I downloaded it and go to lvl 7 I think. 1 million tools sitting at some crystal, but not a word being spoken or any chars moving. Went to the first zone and didn't see a soul or any...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I don't mind the mini game to pick the locks, however I have been massively disappointed in the loot behind the locks. A majority of the time it's less random loot that spawns in a typical cut / paste room. I don't think I have ever picked even a master lock with like 11 to 12 different...

    2023-2024 College Football. And then there were 4

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Texas didn't break Bama and Saban. Something had to have happened for Milroe to go from 1st string to not even getting a shot in the USF game. Not a single Bama fan I know wanted Rees or his QB. For all the praise that Alabama gets for its OL size...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I think it was / is mostly people's expectations of what they thought the game was. I've learned not to follow any hype or development of any game. In the past, I'd search for any nugget of info about a game and hype myself up for it, only to feel let down when my own expectations were not...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I can say that I am enjoying the game very much. I typically get bored of single player games fairly quickly and don't think I've completed a single one in the past 2 generations of systems. This is the first one that has me hooked in a long time. I tried No Man Sky and couldn't stand it...

    Yes it is. It was $31 on gamepass to start yesterday.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I hadn't played WoW much since Wrath. Think I lvled once through Cata, and then once through MoP, but had no desire to raid there. Having said that, I figured I'd give hardcore a run and it's been really entertaining. Everything matters here, one wrong slip up up and /rip you go. This...

    Investing General Discussion

    People are / were buying new construction because that is all they could get. I'll put my finances out there. Rent raised from 1300 to 2200..so we started looking for a home. There is no guarantee that rent didn't keep exploding, so we had no choice. My budget range was about 200k for a...

    Investing General Discussion

    I don't know how accurate this info is, but there is a gentleman that purchased 4 houses near us who said he raised all the rents because the govt raised their subsidized rates. According to him, quite a few of his tenants qualify for some sort of govt program and they now guarantee roughly...

    Investing General Discussion

    I feel like some people figured they had no choice at this time. The nature of my job and trying to progress upwards meant, in theory, that renting was the best option. However, the rent on the home we were living in went from $1300 to $2200 over the course of 2 years...and the entire area...

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    Well, bought a Rog Ally. Very frustrating experience so far and a SD is not even a concern. Downloaded Everspace 2. In the tutorial you have to do a barrel roll. The combinations of button presses do not correlate with any buttons on the screen, so stuck there. Downloaded Last Epoch. Get...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    This is certainly the fastest I've ever lost interest in an arpg. Can't believe how boring the game gets so quickly. There is no way in remote hell I would want to replay the entire game again for a different season. Playing through once was ok for what it was, but it just boils down to the...

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    So I dont know much about either of these machines. The smaller screen is hard for me to enjoy most games these days, as I am spoiled with large screens and surround sound. However, I think I wouldnt mind playing MAME emulated games, as well as a few from the PS2-PS3 era...mainly NBA Street...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    So as far as classic goes, do you prefer Classic or Wrath Classic? I stopped playing during Cata, so figure I might give this a run until the next set of games come out that I want to play.

    Won't it be on Xbox game pass and you can play it on PC for basically free?

    70 to 100 was completely unnecessary. 30 levels of complete boredom and very little in item chasing.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I really felt that impact on Last Epoch. Even though it had zero multi-player at the time, there was the ability for global chat. The game seemed alive with it, and I didn't really realize how much of an impact it made until it was disabled for a few weeks for a fix.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    For a seasonal game, sure sounds like almost zero reason to even play the season. Am I to assume that the codex powers do transfer over for the eternal and following season tools? I sure see no incentive to eve play S1.

    Lost Ark Online

    This is what matters the most. While Lost Ark was one of my top games I was looking forward to, I ended up disliking almost everything about it except the combat. If you are having fun with it, that's all that counts. I wish I could find a title that I could stick with for awhile, but almost...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    At the end of the day, even for a filthy casual as myself, the game starts going rapidly downhill after the campaign finishes. 1-50 I felt was fairly solid and then 50 - 70 you could see progress. Everything post 70 is not fun at all since you hardly ever get excited to see a drop. 70-100 (...

    Games You Regret Spending Time On?

    All MMOs. My first entry was Everquest and ended up dedicating every free minute of my existence in either playing, or reading forums about it. Played end game with the #2 guild on our server and never missed a raid. Wow was the same thing...class leader for the top guild on the server and...

    Guild Wars 2

    I really enjoyed the original GW2 zones and leveling, but I went back and tried the expansions and couldnt stand them. The mounts are pretty amazing, but running around in a zerg for all 3 zones and having mostly group content running from point to point for 20 mins per event wasnt my cup of tea.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Do people just not burn out of this? I assume a majority of Progression server players keep jumping to the newest progression servers as they are released. How does this maintain anyone's interest over time? Every strat and secret is known, there is no more mystery at all. How do yall guys...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I'm a filthy casual, and yet I find myself agreeing with most people in this thread on both the positives and the negatives. I have 2 classes to 50+ and don't really see a carrot dangling for me anymore. I did enjoy playing through the game, but I'm not sure I'd find the appeal in repeating...

    I will add that a few of the people that are the most vocal about how bad it is, cant seem to log off... I only get a few hours a day to play, and when I log in randomly at 8pm, and maybe again for an hour before work at 5am, and then when I get off of work around 2:30pm.....I see the same...

    I am far from a fanboy of any game developer, so I can view this with an open mindset. I saw alot of hate on this game, didnt play a single minute of beta, didnt watch videos etc... I am really glad I tried to play it. Had I listened to so many reviews and opinions about how much shit this...

    Thats on par with Indiana as well. A footlong combo is now $16+. Average #1 combo at any random fast food place is $11-$12, Portillos is $16, Panda Express is now $15 or so. Trip for 3 to Dairy Queen is now $30+. You can get a full meal at Texas Roadhouse with a meat and 2 sides and...

    My memory could be wrong, but reminds me of Voldeth and the Lost Ark thread. He joined the thread talking about how easy the game was, how it wasn't worth it, how he had put a ton of time on a foreign server and he just might happen to play NA launch casually. Turns out he had 2 level 50s...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Hope this game is fun. I haven't followed it at all, but can't seem to find any enjoyment out of single player games anymore. Which is strange because the multi-player games I do play, I'm usually solo 95% of the time. It's like Last Epoch and their chat channel before multi-player. I have...

    Lost Ark Online

    There are more bots in that game than there are real players. The fact that a new player could log in and never interact with a real player prior to max level is fucking awful. You can watch 100s of bots running a lvl 1-50 script, so most new potential players just newp right on out. I was so...

    I've been in the food and beverage industry over 20 years. At no time are tipped employees paid less than federal minimum wage. Sure, their hourly rate was $2.13 an hr, but the wages they received for working far outweighed the $4.25 - $7.25 that it had been since the early 90s. If a server...
