That's good to know. When I'm in The Northeast I see electric charging stations everywhere, but in a lot of other states I don't really see any. I didn't know Tesla had their own system for drive-mapping that accounts for this. Maybe I'll take a closer look at Teslas. Full electric without...

Same here. I actually tapped out on Judgment and cancelled my LJ preorder. As a guy who loved the fuck out of all seven Yakuza games and REALLY loved the RPG follow-up, I thought for sure that I'd like Judgment. Was hoping it'd be more like a Yakuza 7 that stayed in the original format rather...

I think EQ'S devs put that thing there to shock people who aren't expecting it. So you roll in there ready to clear some trash and then you have the first thing you pull plowing through everybody. Then everyone sits around recovering and you're like "if the first mob was THAT bad, how bad is the...

I don't know, aside from hitting like trucks, they're extremely one-dimensional mobs. Several other bosses in the zone, especially the final boss and one of the snakes, always gave us a lot more grief than they did. Edit: Just realized I can't wait for GoD

Yeah I also love the endless AA grind...when I can solo. It's cool to get on and fight stuff for an hour and have it accomplish something. Depending on class, there are a few points in the game's life cycle where it's easy to run out of AAs to get even if you only play casually...

When I talk about GoD I'm talking about the modern refined version, not the launch version (which I never got to experience). They're two completely different expansions, pretty much. And yeah, if they hadn't gutted the team... people would have very different memories of when the Golden Era...

It's all about the lore. We fought dragons on Antonica and Kunark, now we're fighting them on their home turf. Places like Sleeper's Tomb and NTOV are atmospheric as hell. Also, ice areas in games have this kind of moodiness about them in general that a lot of people enjoy. To me the "Golden...

Are Tesla 3's full electric or can they switch over to gas as a backup? Because 400 miles on a full charge or not, you need gas backup if you plan on ever taking a major road trip. The infrastructure just isn't there for charging. I set up an outlet in the basement so I can charge a car. I'm...

One of my uncles offered to show me how to stash accounts in the Cayman Islands and said it's the only way to not get completely fucked on taxes for crypto earnings. Every time I've heard the words "Cayman Islands" in the past, it was usually connected to some rich shady fuck doing something...

I like the theory that the evolved forms are much older. Maybe an Omega Metroid is just what they look like after 80 years or something along those lines. With no natural predators I would expect them to live for exceedingly long durations. Weird thing is that in Metroid Prime we had a bunch of...

Well, they certainly know how to sell DLC packs

How come Metroids only seem to evolve on the SR388 environment? Every other Metroid game has only had base facehugger form Metroids. (Yes, Fusion has an Omega Metroid and Other M has a Queen, but both of those escaped from Federation labs). Why didn't any Metroids evolve on Zebes? The answer...

How do people here feel about the King of Fighters series? I got to play a lot of KOF XIV (the newest one, I think) in the last couple of years and it's probably my favorite current fighting game. Though admittedly I haven't played that many of them. I kinda want to go back and play the other 13...

MATIC dropped like 10 cents overnight. Urgh. Even with my now much lower cost basis I'm slightly in the red again. Could potentially be a good time to get in on the MATIC action if you aren't and have been waiting for a dip, because 1.25 is pretty damn dipped. YMMV

There's a definite Bayonetta vibe here but I'd compare it more to Metal Gear Rising. At least on the surface. We'll see how it goes. I'd love to play MGR With Hot Chick Instead.

Yeah the SNES Star Wars games were harder than Souls back in their day. I was obsessed with them for a while in 1993-1995. Actually Super Empire Strikes back is the reason I even got into Star Wars to begin with, since it prompted me to go back and watch all of the movies. Previously I'd only...

I'll always say "see-sil"

Funny, I was just wondering if there was a thread on this yet. Yeah, this looks seriously good. Actually excited to play it.

I'll probably wait a bit on selling it then. I've sold hundreds of games over the years, starting with my 90's / 00's collections and then moving on to selling things as I finish with them. Something like AC Valhalla I could expect to recoup at least two thirds of what I spent. Still have a lot...

What would be a good time to sell my OG Xbox version of KOTOR? Complete in the case and everything. Wondering if it'll go up on this announcement, or down, or what effect the actual remake release will have on prices for the original... I could see a situation where the remake has so many...

I still need to finish this. Left off about 8 hours in. I need to find a job where I spend a lot more time on planes or trains because that seems to be when I get all the portable stuff done.

This is a great trilogy. Played all 3 of them in 2000 so they remind me of that year and yes, road trips. That said this is a pretty ehh collection. How about Romancing SaGa 1-3 instead, or included? That would be a must-have collection. I know we got remasters of RS2 and RS3 but we've never...

Another interesting trailer. This one reveals quite a bit more of the gameplay. You can tell how late in the game different scenes are by how many energy tanks Samus has. I'd like to know what that gold thing is at 3:39. Can't tell if it's regenerating immediately from her slash or if it's an...

AEW Predictions just because I feel like the next couple of years have endless potential: Grand Slam -Kingston defeats Miro for the TNT Championship in his hometown via cage escape or some other means that doesn't involve a pin or submission -Lucha Bros defeat Jungle Express to retain -Malakai...

Cool. I need a Klingon Bird of Prey too. Would be nice to get a set that are all somewhat to scale versus each other but it doesn't look possible, everything is a uniform size. I don't like the subtle Enterprise-B changes so I'll probably go with a normal Excelsior model for that one...

Got this on PS5 for $30 after coupons. Does it support online multiplayer or just couch co-op? Does the multiplayer work cross-platform so I can play with non-PS5 people? It's installing but I'm not sure if I'll get to it today.

Dalnir dungeon crawl was awesome. I hope people are checking out some of these under-used dungeons and not just sticking to the Unrest->Guk->Velks meta. There's some really cool stuff out there if you go off the beaten path.

Don't know if there's a thread for this already, but maybe the crowd here will have an idea: Any recommendations for Star Trek die-cast models? As a kid I had a die-cast metal Enterprise-D and I didn't like it because it wasn't Kirk's ship and "Next Generation is boring" (I had no taste). I...

Just posted my FF1 endgames in the FF thread. Suffice to say I've done everything except 4 White Mages and I want to leave something for The Future so I'm done for now: https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/the-authoritative-final-fantasy-bravely-default-thread.2316/post-3822845 As for DQ5 I...

I finished all 3 of my FF1 runs. Each one flew by....except the Red Mage which took a while. Monk was BY FAR the easiest. Red Mage on the nerfed PS1 version was an extremely slow process. And, get this, four Black Mages in the Pixel Remaster was actually HARDER than the NES version because of...

We already kinda have a Final Fantasy thread where Pixel Remaster discussion has gone on: https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/the-authoritative-final-fantasy-bravely-default-thread.2316/ @Amod Maybe merge

Checked out the pay2win DLCs on this thing. Yow. I like costumes and everything (prolly get a few of those in Berseria) but all of the "Add 10 levels for $3" stuff is nuts. Unless, maybe, it's a one-time, one-use kind of thing. And even then it's still kind of WTF. Berseria has some DLC like...

At the point in DQ5 Remake where I have to marry somebody. I think in the Super Famicom version I married Flora (Nera now) which is really pointless in retrospect since she isn't playable. Bianca was a way better choice. So I was going to go that route this time, only to discover that this new...

Yeah Sen's Fortress is something else. I found Anor Londo right after it to be the big trial for me personally though.

Oh God, she looks almost exactly like a friend of a friend who I almost started going out with in 2017 until I checked out her social media and found out she was a raging leftist lunatic. Maybe I'll just deal with the outdated visuals and play KOTOR on XBox. Edit: Is the best way to play...

I grabbed the original and the sequel for $5 each at a flea market a while back (with cases and instructions and everything, worth way more than that). Been meaning to give them a run on XBox for years now, but I have to say the visuals are a huge obstacle. I love KOTOR1's classes and design but...

Yeah, PS4/PS5 dual-releases aren't going to look that great. They're more like PS4.5 visually. The difference between PS5 exclusives like Demon's Souls and cross-platform releases is HUGE. The same thing happened with PS3/PS4. For the first year or two of PS4 everything was dual-release and...

Not really, just make sure everyone has DoN progression done for the critical hit and stat bonuses. Can see if you have it already in the AA window by checking the special tab (the one with Lesson of the Devoted etc) for Power of the Keepers. I think the alternative is called Power of the Dark...

Yeah, I grabbed Berseria for $10. The anime tropes jumped off the page with this demo. Hypercompetent and stoic female belittling her feckless yet jovial male partner? Check That trope is on the same tier of annoyance as "male protagonist who has no idea that women like him and has never had a...

Lost Izalith was definitely unfinished. I also love DS1 and its map / world design. It's the closest thing I've played to Super Metroid's perfect world layout since...well, Super Metroid. The way everything is interconnected is awesome. Never played DS3, still saving it. I'm hoping it'll take...
