This is definitely one of the worst onboarding experiences I can remember. Not only is the first boss more difficult than it needs to be, the fact that they introduce new mechanics (spells) right before you can meaningfully learn how to use them and then introduce an entire new mechanic in the...

Bro. Saying this is like saying peat and barley make brown liquid. Mother fucker, *I* know how to airbrush and glaze things, and my figs sure as hell don't turn out like that. Maybe you are using Unicorn Horn Paintbrushes or Elven Maiden Minge Paintbrushes or something? Maybe Air Efreet Air...

If anyone on Earth thinks I hack and slash my way through a Diablo game considering whether or not the waterfalls are caused by glacial melt in another zone, they need to have their fucking head examined. What a nutso thing to care about. Also, I do have trouble counting to five but didn't they...

First reaction: do we still have to call MMOs "WoW clones"? Second reaction: Holy Fuck does that ever look like a WoW clone.

Thank you for the great explanation!

I'm trying to expand my gaming a little so right now I'm playing Chained Echoes which, I guess, is a kind of spiritual JRPG. I really like it but I also was wondering if anyone could tell me: what the fuck is the purpose of the icon that counts down to the left of the Overheat bar? Obviously, it...

My son and I started a fresh server and are working through the Mountains Biome now. Game is as fun as ever. We've both been staying away from spoilers on Mistlands so there's a real sense of excitement about what's to come. We made a baller base with double moat layers and deathtrap-dungeon...

I started a new character and got grouped with a guy who had clearly spent 80-100$ on cosmetics. He was kitted the fuck out. Looked awesome. He also didn't know how to drop his med pack so we could heal during the boss fight. Had to chuckle. Yup, that seems about right.

Man they can fuck right off with those in-game cosmetic prices. What a bunch of crap. I think Ogryn are rare because people are freaked out by their hitboxes being larger and the shield just doesn't look like fun from a player perspective. Probably great to have on your team but not so fun to...

I've crashed more games than I've finished this PM. That sucks.

Not bad but not great from a very initial perspective. 1. For me the levels are too long. They should be like 2/3 length. Missions drag especially if... 2. You are playing with a PUG. They need to increase the amount of ammo you get. If they aren't going to enforce how many of the same...

I found that World Tier Reveal video pretty depressing. The number of times those two guys focused on "progression" and "builds" and "customization" and "endgame" and not on "fun" or "awesome experience" has me pretty alarmed. Those are just the front-end industry buzzwords for "engagement"...

Thought I'd jot down some impressions of the game from a new player starting after the Brimstone Sands patches: Overall I'm enjoying the game. The new leveling process seems good at introducing most of the core new systems and teaching you how to play the game. Content does start to get a...

THIS FUCKING RACE completely ruined Mad Max for me. And I loved that game. I thought it was such a fun gem until this buggy, unpolished piece-of-shit race. I'm not exactly sure why I had so much trouble with it - something to do with the retarded car physics that otherwise didn't bother me and...

Didn't play the first one but my first impressions of this game are (1) holy crap it is gorgeous. Some of the scenery and detail is just amazing. It isn't really a twitchy game so the FPS doesn't really bother me in tangible ways yet (XBOXX on OLED). (2) the gameplay is pretty boring. Hiding in...

Save yourself the 10 minutes I played this game. It is not worth downloading.

I tried it for a short while before uninstalling. I just think your life would have to be pretty vacuous and sad to spend time playing this game. It isn't awful or broken, but it is about as entertaining as wallpapering a room. You can get a small amount of satisfaction from moments of it I...

I thought this movie was terrible. Stopped watching it with about 25 minutes to go. Maybe there was a good movie in there somewhere but I hated the disjointed editing and some of the unbearably annoying characters. I didn't think the main premise of the movie was that original or interesting...

Now that I have a few characters to 30 I have to say that I've gone from agnostic to annoyed by the MTX. I don't really pay attention to any of this garbage but the sheer number of currencies and the ongoing in-your-face request to buy layers and layers of other systems is pretty exhausting. It...

I'm really having trouble deciding what's more annoying: A) the fact that presumably competent game developers were forced to spend cycles making this garbage min-spec version of Diablo; or B) the whiny bitches playing a free "game" that presumably entertains them all the while bitching about...

Game is pretty fun. Its a bit goofy but I think in a fun way. The animations and audio are very campy in parts. I really really like how you can tune server settings. I took care of all the grindy bullshit and teleporting limits and my son and I are just running around having fun. Definitely...

I'm convinced they buffed Malenia. I didn't have nearly this much trouble with her on my original character (STR build). I can avoid her anime attack pretty consistently now but the host of other quick attacks just gives her too much healing over time, and she wrecks me during the second phase...

Fuck all the people putting down coop signs by Malenia with no clue how to avoid her attacks. Like what's the point? I'm looking for help on this shitty character build bro, not to watch you get instantly killed and fight a boss with more HP than she had before.

Game is 75% off Steam right now so probably worth it at that price. I didn't like it originally but apparently it has been massively improved.

I don't understand how he doesn't take damage from the Waterfowl attack. Even if I have 25 STA and a +24 shield I still get killed if I try and block through it all. Not using exactly the same shield but still.

I didn't have trouble with him but I did do him out of order so maybe I was over-leveled. I think I died twice before taking him down. I didn't have either of the special items for the fight (actually, it turns out I did have the shackle but I didn't use it). I just used the damage protection...

I had to rely on some jolly cooperation. But I (we) did it. I just couldn't beat her solo. But then I did get better in the fight as well so maybe next time. That swan dive with rot is brutal. Was actually a pretty fun fight with a friend.

Malenia is impossible for me as a pure melee following the patch. That's all I have to say.

I've also found the F1 series grating this year. Maybe it was because the racing season itself had so much drama. I'm finding it annoying how basically every single instance of anything gets blown a billion times out of proportion and the editing of the show itself has become self-referential...

I'm so sad...

Hah. Finally beat that Fire Giant fucker with no cheese and no altering my build. What a bastard fight. Now I am going to eat steak. Yum. Fucker.

I don't usually blame my own limitations on game design but I do think Fire Giant is just a shitty fight. Getting insta-killed by attacks from above you can barely see and fireballs that explode off-screen is pretty lame. Plus, I wouldn't really mind so much if that happened now-and-then but the...

Finally beat Rhadan after getting gud. That was a pretty tough fight for me (pure melee). The spamming summons strategy wasn't helping me much. The damage output was just too low and I ended up using summons a bit during the mid-point of the fight only. The final cadence was pretty epic. Hid...

I bought that note from the merchant and was like "wtf is this note talking about" and then proceeded to find basically every other church than the one I needed. I r dumb. Finally got the Flask and I agree that it is pretty cool and useful (especially if you had, like me, unintentionally been...

I had the worst kind of Boss experience last night: namely, almost killing them the first time (I whiffed on the attack that would have killed them), and then spending the next 90 minutes fucking the fight up over and over. It took so godamn long because the first stage was a gimmick fight. Man...

Edited: I haven't fought him yet. He was the boss I was thinking about going back to. I went in there very very early and noped out after he killed me and yet mercifully left all my souls on the outside of his Gaol. I took that as a sign to come back later.

Not surprisingly I'm loving this game. Probably #2 behind Demon's Souls but mostly because I'm very nostalgic about my first experience playing that game. I love the open world. It is so fun to explore. There's a genuine sense of wonder and danger that most open world games are sorely lacking...

So. No ultrawide support lol. That's what I get for having a media embargo. Looks like I'll be playing this on console after all.

Yessirree. Restart and unpack. Bye bye.

Fucking give me my green button assholes.
