I agree...except in the case of Demon Souls. Going in blind is how you end up with completely borked world tendency and end up having to start the game over because you spent 8 hours dying on World 4-2 with red phantoms everywhere (Yes, this was what happened to me the first time). Demon Souls...

Demon Souls and Elden Ring are probably the two easiest of the six From Soulsbornes. Both give you major avenues to lower the difficulty. You can overlevel in both, use summons in Elden, and use sorcery in Demon. Sorcery also works pretty well in Dark Souls 1, but won't help you much in Souls 2...

I think she's cute from a normal person perspective, but from a Hollyweird perspective she is indeed odd. Considering how she gets cast in everything like Margot (which is, funnily enough, her name in this movie), I wonder if she's in with the Epstein crowd. Kinda sad that if a woman is...

Watching this right now on HBO Max. It's about 80% over. Pretty bad movie TBH. The first half of it is just nonstop noise where I could barely tell what was going on, reminded me of a Transformers movie. At least the red-haired latina is kind of hot. That's about all I've liked. This movie is...

Starting Crisis Core tomorrow, looking forward to that. Also trying to knock off more challenges in the Mega Man Collection and the last 3 bosses I didn't defeat in Cuphead's DLC. One of them is Chef Saltbaker and I hear he's a real bastard.

Nice, I kinda wanted to see this, gonna load it up today. The main actress in this is really cute, probably gonna be the next Margot Robbie who is cast in Everything whether we like it or not.

I've been reading the T2 sequel trilogy by S.M. Stirling on and off for a few years. It took a while but I finally got to the last book and have about 150 pages left. This trilogy functions as a sequel to T2 but it doesn't actually mess with the canon much, aside from Judgment Day happening...

Fast Five, Fast and Furious 6, Furious 7, and if you want to see more of it, Hobbs & Shaw (Spinoff). Those four in particular are way superior to everything before them. The trilogy of 5/6/7 is pretty much a thrill a minute. I think 7 ended on the perfect note so everything since then has been...

Sounds like a movie written for the Epstein crowd of uber-elites. No wonder it's called Babylon

I might well take a swing at this. Armored Core has run into a few roadblocks, like all of the games costing exorbitant amounts and emulation being iffy. Good chance I'll end up just playing the PS1 ACs.

Yeah, that pack-in game punches way above its weight. It's one of the best 3D Mario games I've played and it isn't even a Mario game. Does some really cool stuff with the DualSense controller too, so I tell people to give it a go to see what the controller is capable of. The only full game on...

What is Flower Girls? *googles it* Oh, it turns all the NPCs into hot women? Well, that's a thought. OpenMW looks good. I've got the Morrowind copy that includes the Morrowind Construction Set on another disc. Never fooled with it, I guess that's a mod-creating tool of some sort? I figured...

The prices on all these games I'm looking at are ludicrous. Yeah, I really made a mistake selling all my games in 2010. Looks like the PS2 gen is now reaching pricey retro levels and the PS3 gen is starting to climb up too.

Yeah Front Mission is nowhere near as fun as Armored Core. Both have similar vibes and settings though so I've been thinking about both of them. Front Mission usually devolves into "equip every mech with two of the strongest available weapon so they can fire twice at once, then the game...

Looked into it and there's a translated ROM of Front Mission 2 on PS1. So there's pretty much nothing stopping me from getting ROMs of all the AC and FM games on PS1 and PS2, provided PS2 emulation is stable (PS1 certainly is). Might have my game project for 2023 now: The whole AC series, mixed...

The only Weeb Dark Souls I played was Code Vein and it turned out to be really good. Not big on Weeby stuff, but I'd probably try this if it was on console. "If I could redo the last 21 years of my gaming life" would be an interesting thread to post in. Or just an "If I could redo the last...

Not really playing anything lately. Maybe the odd Mega Man Legacy Collection challenge if I need something to do. I platted both X collections long ago, but I gotta say, the two Classic collections have me stumped with their much higher difficulties. The challenges just send you to a boss room...

Overrated: Destiny, especially the first one. MMO busywork, generally uninspired everything, and they named all the bad guys (robots) after fantasy creatures which just irritated me after a while. One hour I'm defeating a bunch of nondescript robots called Goblins, the next I defeat a...

Not enough. There's one more empty wine rack, and I see a little bit of space at the edge of the shelf that can fit another 3 bottles, maybe 4! Do Better.

There's a part of me that wants to play through the entire Armored Core series, Front Mission series, and King's Field series at this point. I missed out on most of them (first AC. first FM, and the two action FMs are all I got to). I guess a full Fromsoft binge + Front Mission. I don't even...

What we really need is a Switch Pro with a graphics upgrade that does better than 720/30.

Phantasy Star 2 gets completely overshadowed by Phantasy Star 4. Like fully eclipsed. They're similar enough but PS4 is a superior game, maybe the best RPG on the Genesis. I'd give 2nd place to PS2 though. It's pretty fantastic for its era, and definitely underrated. Phantasy Star 1 was pretty...

How so? The first one was great, so I was a bit excited to check out the second one.

I forgot about Twilight Princess. Such an overrated game. Played it in 2014, well after it was out. Maybe it was better in-era. Was the last 3D Zelda I played, actually (still haven't played Skyward Sword or BOTW). I'll get to those two some time for sure, but it's notable that Twilight...

Wait, you can carry weapons from one game to another? That's pretty cool. I thought AC2 was PS2, didn't realize AC1 had two PS1 sequels. Looks like there are way more games than just "AC 2 to 5". There's also something called Nexus. I never played any of the Front Missions after the first one...

What's the best way to get caught up on playing this series? I've only played Armored Core 1. I'd love to replay it if it got remastered, but early PS1 3D would be tough to go back to at this point. Tremendous game though. I'd like to play AC2, 3, 4, and 5 before 6 comes out. Figure I've got...

Myst is definitely overrated. There was a time in 1996 when it was all over the gaming magazines. I've got another underrated: Ghost in the Shell for Playstation 1. Freaking fantastic game where you pilot a weird bug mech and can zip around fully 3D maps at high speed, scale buildings and leap...

What's going on with Congo and northeast Siberia in all these shots? Is it just unexplored territory? This game looks incredible, I would have really gotten into it 20 years ago with more free time and motivation.

Yeah I remember the Caelid arena being the last thing I discovered in the game when I 100%'d it. That place is so out of the way and hard to reach that I was shocked when it was just a dead end at the time. I couldn't even tell someone how to get back to it., but now that you mention it I...

I used to watch Dark5 all the time. Really good channel with a lot of spooky-ass videos about a variety of subjects.

It's hard for me to cite any overrated games, because it's like...who is overrating it, and do they matter? I used to think FF7 was pretty overrated. It caught on with me a lot more in the late 2000's. Elden Ring is my favorite game, but it might be a little overrated I guess, IDK. What comes...

No one's chimed in on this yet. Anyone know off the top of their head? I'll probably just take a day and plow the game regardless, want to get a second Hand of Malenia. I guess I didn't fight her again on NG+, the second fight with her I was thinking of (that went a lot better) was on the PS4...

I've noticed that a ton of other people (including me) sold a lot/most/all of their games in 2010. I wonder what it was about that particular year. For whatever reason it seemed like a good time to offload everything. I was mostly playing PS2/3 and emulators at that point, so everything pre-PS2...

I don't have any sealed games, except the Elden Ring Collector's Edition box which I'm hanging onto until some future point. The only old game I have in-box at this point is Kirby's Dream Land which was the first game I ever got. Problem is, I sold my entire old game collection in the early...

Underrated: World of Final Fantasy. This game is tremendous. The battles are pretty simplistic and it is never particularly challenging, but I love the way it re-creates so many classic Final Fantasy locations with a diorama-esque look and dream-like aesthetic. The soundtrack is also suitably...

Wow, that's nuts. These guys were bidding up their own items to inflate their value. My favorite part in the first video is when he talks about how no Game Journalists thought to question any of it and all just dutifully reported things that didn't make sense. So...they're as incompetent and...

I agree completely, but I do want to note that Samurai stands out a bit because of their great starting weapon and ability to wield two Uchis very early. Any other class would have to wait until NG+ I think (and by then it wouldn't matter because there are better katanas).

Loaded up my level 260 character in NG++ and ran over to the first arena. Did a 4 player brawl and won, was a blast. KSing other people when their opponents were near death took me back to my ultra-cheap tactics in PVP MMOs of old. What's the shortest route to unlocking the other two arenas...

So I was watching some of this video, and in the last minute or so he talks about how he's in massive debt from buying a 9.8 graded Mario 64, before throwing it in the trash. What's the story here? I googled it and all I get are a zillion articles about how a 9.8 copy of Mario 64 sold for $1.3...
