    The Ascent

    I dunno why you are comparing aim assist with gated/poorly done quest content, but sorry if I touched a nerve in your game play.

    At this point why not delay it until it's done since we're already a year and a half back from original date. If it drops in the midst of Lost Ark, FFXIV expac/hype and other end of year releases I doubt it even hits the couple months of fun most are expecting out of it at launch.

    The Ascent

    Playing on PC gamepass with controller and no aim assist. No movement or aiming issues but you can definitely tell they were going for a bit more realism versus something like Gungeon or Neon Chrome. It feels very much like the game Ruiner but obviously more fleshed out. 4k reso, all...

    Tribes of Midgard (diablo-like survival PS5/PC)

    Been watching solo play with various classes and they seem to be trucking along no problem. You guys just bad or are they excellent? =D For $20 and having full controller support it looks like a purchase once I get through the ascent.

    Grime

    I think for me it's the fact it starts to feel very safe with some progress while in most of the other games I am always worried about dying while exploring and the waste of time that comes with it which is something I have a love/hate relationship with since it requires staying pretty focused...

    Grime

    Really loving the aesthetic of the game though I do not think it's as good as say Hollow Knight or Bloodstained game play wise. Easy pickup though if you're a fan of the genre.

    New World

    In 2 years that I've played various iterations of this game it still has no solid core imo and not enough of any content at the start to retain bodies long term which is a shame since they have pumped out changes faster than any company I've ever seen this last year. I could see the game...

    Monster Hunter Stories 2 - PC / Switch

    I'm about 35 hours in and the game keeps on giving in true MH fashion. I wish I did like pokemon more as I could see myself putting 100+ hours getting everything and making the genes stacked, but I just don't want to catchem all.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You don't even need the chocobo pet tbh. I've never used it once on any class since equalish level crap dies in seconds. Maybe it's useful if you're just grinding fates on your 8th level 80 alt or something. You'll have so much experience from MSQ + blue side quests you can have multiple...

    Monster Hunter Stories 2 - PC / Switch

    This deserves its own thread because it's not getting the love it needs. https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/monster-hunter-stories-2-wings-of-ruin-switch/ They nailed this 100% imo. Perfect blend of MH world in a JRPG with some pokemon flavoring. Can't comment on switch but it runs...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    So six hours later definitely recommend MHS2 if you're a JRPG fan and/or MH fan. It's pretty great so far with some surprisingly over the top attack animations and a gameplay loop that mimics the MH series hunts but obv with turn based combat. The egg gathering/hatching shit is a bit too...

    Which MOBA?

    It's nice to see that even the MOBA related threads are as toxic as the games. Edit: Also I would play Smite over any of these if I was just getting into MOBAs. Easiest to pick up and go, faster pace, not a lot of BS to learn and one time purchase for all chars and probably the least toxic...

    I just found out about this game like 3 days ago and have been hyped to see it's not switch locked but ree irl - LET ME IN. Edit: Weeb rider checking in. Enjoying it so far.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You're crazy. Monk and Ninja are literally the two most rewarding DPS classes to play in the game and probably throughout most MMOs I've played. Dragoon close running just for flashiness. The rest of the DPS I could play with my eyes closed the rotations are so simple to maximize. I have...

    ARR is an epic adventure compared to the end transition quests of heavenwards->all of stormblood practically. =D

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You out level everything rapidly and I've only done the MSQ through Stormblood. Fully expect to have at least 3-4 80s by the time I'm done with it all. Server itself doesn't matter. Cluster is more relevant. I've been on Primal and it has low ques and a nice player base.

    Yeah if you preorder the next it doesn't unlock until launch which I found out after hah. Just buy shadowbringers and you'll have the rest.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Loot has always been meaningless outside of a handful of big items. In like a month and change on Aradune I had like 50+ krono starting from zero, full raid loot etc. and I definitely don't fall into the poopsocker, harry potter maps, kill stealing (TEB guildies included kek) farmer. If you...

    If you like pressing 9 button combos wait until you try ninja and press 20 something buttons before trick attack wears off! ;D Every other class feels like playing in slow mo so far that I've tried after running my ninja up.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Couldn't agree more. ARR - 7/10. Good story build up/character development etc., lots of content to go alongside the MSQ to break things up. Heavensward 8/10. Similar pacing with MSQ, lots of content with some fantastic dungeons/raids/primal fights. The end gap between MSQ quests into...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    This is either going to be the worst or best economy on a TLP in years from what I'm seeing. Too bad I don't got time to play =O

    So far Stormblood MSQ is complete butt about 70 quests into it and it was already dragging just getting into Stormblood. Tons of menial quests beholden to a level 1 scrub with no experience rather than a hero with practically no dungeons/trials/raids so far to break up the tedium for a bunch of...

    Having done ARR and Heavensward recently the MSQ flows pretty well. The Dragonsong War -> Stormblood transition was pretty bleh though. Couldn't wait to be done with Ishgard.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Personally don't care. This isn't a game where you're fighting over resources or where players are starved for choice by any stretch in any content. Though stuff like boosts/gear catch up is closer to pay to convenience than pay to win and I think is fairly healthy for MMOs on end of life...

    (PS4) Days gone. Q1-2019

    You can upgrade it so it's not as bad, but I still found myself running as often as possible. Never finished it as it was pretty repetitive/boring and it didn't seem to change much 10 hours in.

    Everyones financial situation is different but personally yes. I spend way more for much less value across the gaming spectrum and/or real life nonsense. Once the new mount smell wears off you won't even care about it anyway ;]

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Eh even if that is so you aren't unique when 100's/1000's of other people on the server get them. And in the scheme of things if spending an extra $35 here and there on a game you put 100's if not 1000's of hours into makes you grumpy then you have a pretty poor sense of value per dollar spent...

    Is an 8 person mount some sort of pay to win that I don't know about? Otherwise complaint is worthless. Cosmetic crap is cosmetic crap whether it's $1 or $1k.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It feels fine in PVE for the most part especially with the amount of times you aren't stationary so the GCD is fine. For PVP though? Absolute shit especially as melee. Press button. Did ability go off? Wait with your dick in your hand for slow ass GCD to come off to possibly use utility...

    I still don't get how other games haven't matched WoW crispness in combat even with the idiotic batching in classic it was still better than 99% of MMOS.

    WoW is still first preference overall as that is where the people that I play with are and TBC launch is going to be fun. Plus having another MMO to play during the inevitable lull of P1 TBC will be nice and keep things top of mind going into the next FF expansion which I'm 100% going to play...

    I have been putting in some hours. All done with the entirety of Heavensward content now. I was hoping to get the entire game done before TBC launch but I am enjoying it enough to do more than MSQ so I will probably finish all of Stormblood and shelve it until I am bored of WoW. If this shit...

    Resident Evil: Village (RE8)

    Watched the entire playthrough from start to finish since I know I will never buy it. Haven't paid any attention to the series since maybe like 3? Story seems off the rails but game looked cool.
