    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I am certain I'm not the only one, but I am not buying a new machine that has 1/3rd the power of current consoles to play only 2 to 3 titles. Nintendo has some great exclusives and IPs, but to play only 2 to 3 titles and then be forced to buy another new Nintendo console to play the next 2 or 3...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I really wish Nintendo would go the Sega route and just publish games and forget the hardware. Nintendo still has some of the best IPs on the market, but are drastically held back due to hardware limitations in my opinion. Also, the games come out at such a snail pace, that I know I might not...

    I don't believe a single number the govt releases about anything. There is no way I am convinced the labor participation rate is going up. Just in my God forsaken industry, you can see businesses suffering every day due to lack of staff. I have a contract with Coke, but they can't find enough...

    No clue why I remember this... But the first and only time I was allowed to call that Nintendo Power hotline was with that spot in Castlevania 2 where you had to kneel down at an exact spot at a river in order for the zone to open up below it. That shit had to have been between...

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

    Im not going to shill for any particular game, but I find some complaints rather interesting. Every ARPG ever made has a boring end game. D2 was endless Meph / Pendle / Baal runs...or cows. D3 was rift, rift, rift, rift,rift again. PoE is run the exact same fucking maps over and over until...

    Which class / builds did you end up liking the most? I pushed rogue marksman / vk autobomber to 100 and currently have a 96 paladin hammer smite build rolling....like all 3 for various reasons.

    Most people take the extreme approach one way or the other. Some people feel that you cant like multiple games in the same genre for some reason. or that one has to be a clear cut winner and the other games are trash. You could purchase this game and get from level 1 to the end game without...

    Must not have played PoE then. You had to farm currency to remove each skill point. However, it only takes a handful of monolith or arena runs to get 5 to 6 levels of your skill back. You could probably take a skill from 1 to 20 in 30 mins or so at the higher levels. Why that mechanic really...

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

    I don't see why people can't enjoy each game for what it is. I played PoE up to lvl 90 about 3x, bought some stash tabs etc. I enjoyed the time I spent there, but got toward the end game and despised it. Not the games fault, it was just not what I preferred...so I quit. I personally don't...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    There isn't a single person on this forum that thinks Pantheon will ever release. Watching this dumpster fire of a game be put together is more entertaining than the game could ever be. Every update is comical because people are on the edge of their seats trying to predict just how much...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    They are following in true Everquest footsteps. Isn't that what everyone wanted? I remember numerous people dying at the forges in EQ2. Getting damaged while using tradeskills is a copy of a feature from back in 2004ish.

    While some may disagree, I feel like it's a good time to be an ARPG fan. Everyone has their personal favorites for whatever reason. What I am excited about is that you have several great quality arpgs out there now and none really seem to be trying to compete with each other. No matter what...

    I do think that is one thing D3 got right, and that was Adventure mode. I enjoy playing alts, but I don't enjoy running the same storyline multiple times.

    I played a bit more than that, and ironically I got pissed off chasing that same staff lol. Now that there are no more char wipes coming, I can just play whenever I want and feel like I'm not losing anything. All my shards and gear will carry over to the release.

    I hadn't played this game in a long while and got on last night with the new multi-player patch. I already liked the game, but they did a great job on improving the graphics , sounds, performance...everything. This was my favorite arpg prior to the update. Different strokes for different...

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

    Whatever PoE chose to do with loot, it drove me away fairly quickly. Granted, I only played up to lvl 90 on 3+ toons or so. However, after the first week or so I can't think of one time that I saw a drop I was excited for. There was seemingly 11 million diff stats on every item that dropped...

    I like the end game progression and I like most of the classes. ARPGs at their core are basically all the same thing with a few different ideas here and there. I'd say a majority of them are fun to play through at least once. Some people love PoE, while I can't stand what it's become. 3...

    Guild Wars 2

    I went back and played GW2 for awhile and enjoyed it up until the expansion zones. I don't like the expansion zones at all. I joined the zerg to get my points to unlock the ascended class. Tried to enjoy the new content, but absolutely hated it. I enjoyed the vanilla zones of gw2 a hell of a...

    Combat was certainly the Achilles heel of this game. Granted, I haven't played it since it was relevant and in Era. Despite the combat, I did enjoy my time there back when I played.

    They have said crafting mats are not going to be tradeable. So no SoJ equivalent here.

    Yea, not sure I understand the extreme fascination with trade here. I'm sure people will be target farming certain monoliths, but I'd assume that everyone running a specific mono for a specific item would just drop the group as soon as the desired item dropped, and not trade it. Though I do...

    AMC Theatres to Change Movie Ticket Prices Based on Seat Location

    I don't understand how these places are still open. We have a very nice theater in our area and there is almost never any business at all. Even driving by it on a Fri / Sat night....maybe 20 cars in the parking lot only. Back when large screen tvs were a luxury, I could see an appeal...

    College Football 2022-23 Season.

    The reality of the situation is that the more teams you add to the playoffs, the less exciting the regular season becomes. This is going to go 1 of 2 ways...and both suck. A) 12 to 16 team playoff....if you are ranked 1 - 12/16....your in. This means all your popular teams now can afford to...

    The roadblock you will most likely run in to is when you hit the daily chaos / guardian treadmill. This is where I believe that a majority of the player base either A) quit B) started betting. Very quickly you will hit that treadmill and you just have 1 main, you have 30 mins to an hour of...

    Granted, I only have about 300 hrs or so in PoE. In that 300 hours of playing, and having 6+ tools at 90+....I never once...not a single time....excited when loot dropped. PoEs Loot system and gearing system was so complicated that I never knew the value of anything that dropped.

    Guild Wars 2....played at launch about 10 years ago and quit. Game is in a pretty good spot now. No matter what single player game I get, I can't seem to stay interested too long. Played primarily ESO for the past 4 to 5 years and have given it up with all the changes.

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    I think one of my main issues are that some games have such awful areas that I quit out of spite and never even bother playing it enough to finish it.
