WB Zaide. As far as POR goes, you'd be better off saying "TSS launches in a little over a month"...

BJ's daughters might be the stupidest video game characters of 2019. They got kneecapped on the first enemy they killed when that stupid cutscene had them jumping up and down and throwing up everywhere. I hope they die violently Tomb Raider style in the first scene of Wolf 3 and then get brought...

Did she stub her penis?

Been replaying the original Doom lately and just found out about something I never noticed in decades of playing Doom: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/File:Twrbuild.gif The Tower of Babel is actually under construction as you clear the missions leading up to it. Great fucking detail. The demons are...

The level of escalation over the course of this video is mind-blowing. I don't know of any other game where stuff like this can happen in these kinds of numbers.

Yeah, I've been telling people this kind of thing for years. MUDflation (as it was called in the 90's) gets obnoxious, and having to do continual rebalancing "squishes" ala WoW isn't much better because it feels like a step back every time it happens (even though it isn't really). I agree with...

Whitemane cosplay Boy, am I glad I took Tues/Weds off for this and not Monday. Do we have a guild Discord server set up? I haven't had time to really look through the posts on the guild forum.

Starting to get hyped for this, though I'm not sure how I'll have time for it between EQ and life. And why did it have to come out on the same day as Collection of Mana? Still leaning Tauren Druid but at this point I'm considering Warrior or Hunter. If the spec that lets Warriors dual-wield...

Basically. I wish there was a "shrug" emote for this. I was all geared up to read some hardcore drama, had my lotion and kleenex ready, and...wat? Qvic races sound exciting, at least.

Get ready to want to play it even less: -The final boss fight is super-difficult (way harder than the rest of the game) so it took me a bunch of tries. It's also a lengthy fight. The entire time the two protagonists bark out a script every 20-30 seconds or so where they're like "We're gonna kick...

Yep, and they were successful too. I think I bought the XP boost in both games out of necessity. The whole thing marred what were otherwise really good games. The devs can do their jobs right, but after that the games have to go through "fuck you give me money" corporate. Edit: Oh, and in...

I've been seeing this "RPG-like" leveling system popping up a lot lately in games that don't need it. Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey are both great games but they introduce a leveling mechanic that doesn't do much more than slow things WAY down (for example, later story missions being 5...

Just finished the game. It turned out to be pretty bad, even as a fan of the series, and without even factoring in the politics or the obnoxious characters. Lots of glitches and SUPER redundant gameplay after the first few missions. Recommendation to avoid

That could be it and they might have said as much somewhere when I wasn't paying attention. I'm just not into taking "Everyone Problems" and making them out to be "women problems", which is the vibe this game gives off. All of that said, it's barely even noticeable in the overall game if you...

Just finished the last of the Nightmare fights and unlocked Magicite dungeons. Any protips for taking those on with my holy FFT group? Difficulty 220 is a tad bit out of my league without being able to use a Mithril to stockpile SBs. Also is there a particular Magicite element that I should be...

Yeah, Kotaku tends to add an Adversity Score. Put about 3 hours into this game. Thoughts so far: Pluses -The graphics are nice, good art direction, lots of stuff to look at -The protagonists are kind of hot -BJ is in the game via cutscene here and there, and is still a badass (so it isn't like...

While I'm at it, I haven't played this for a bit, so I have a couple questions: -I've got quite a few empty slots there. Looking at my party screen, what should I be working on first? Finishing Nightmare dungeons (I did about half of them before)? -This Kingsword on the latest banner for Cecil...

Great post here. As an example, the party I use (and have had a ton of success with) is Orlandu (Damage) Agrias (Damage) Paladin Cecil (Damage) Ramza (Support) Either Tyro (Heal) or Marche (Damage) depending on whether I'm fighting difficult bosses or just rolling over dailies or something. I...

Not sure if this is worth doing a new thread about: Dental implants. Anyone here have advice on the best way to go about getting these things when they're wildly overpriced and going up by the year? I had a couple of adult teeth not come down the way they were supposed to, which caused the...

Peter Gabriel song that I somehow didn't hear until this year and it BLOWS MY MIND.

Yeah, that kid is fuckin' toast. A few, probably Collection of Mana the most. If you could relive some of your life but only one season of it (i.e. you're reliving the same season, year by year, not the other 3), what season would you relive? I'd go Winter to relive all of the Christmas video...

I forgot about another one: RPG Maker on the PS1. I waited for months for this game to come out. There was nothing else like it on consoles in the U.S. at the time. In the runup to the game I spent countless hours drawing area maps, dungeon layouts, boss stats, everything that goes into an RPG...

That ending made me REALLY hope for remakes of some of the early games. The DQ11 engine is right there for them to use.

DQ3 is IMO the #1 RPG on the NES. I know that leveling up and class-changing and re-leveling once has all kinds of benefits. Does continuing to class-change and re-level (every time your characters reach a high level) make your characters even more powerful or is it a diminishing returns...

Bro, I'm in the same boat with that series. BoF3 was fine, BoF4 not so great. I got it around six years ago and I've been chipping away at it ever since. I'm maybe halfway through it now. About once a year I tell myself I'll get through BoF4 this time, and give it another go, and if I'm lucky I...

That's just incredibly bad luck. Something vaguely similar happened to me in the timing department when I played 7th Saga on one of my old desktop computers in the mid-2000's. I got up to the first boss (who throws lightning at the screen) and right after he used the attack, my monitor shorted...

I've had a few: Mega Man 3 (NES) - Got very far in this over what seemed like weeks. Problem is I was co-playing it at a friend's house on his copy, and when we'd get a password we'd save it. Every stage could take an entire afternoon because we weren't very good. Finally we had most of the Doc...

My hype for this movie is starting to die a death. I don't care about all of the girl-power stuff since I've gotten used to it at this point. That leak though, wow. I almost feel like Tim Miller is just trying to spite the fanbase. For wrestling fans, it's like when WWE's ratings are down and...

Yoga pants. My God, yoga pants. One ex that I lived with wore them around the house all the time and I'd just lose my mind. I don't understand the question. I'll go pink though. If you could take a Limitless pill every day and feel good / full of energy, think fast, and have a smooth flow of...

Even if the guy IS guilty, she's gorgeous and I bet her nether-regions smell like orange sherbet.

These are all eastern Velious zones, which indicates another two-parter is on the way and that this one will be giant-centric (most likely with Kael as the endzone). Also, Sleeper's Tomb sealed up. No Iceclad is odd, and two Crystal Caverns zones is a little odd too. If I were to do a Velious...

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/07/mh370-malaysia-airlines/590653/ The mystery of Malaysian Airlines MH370. Long read but worth it. This is up there with Dyatlov Pass in terms of unsettling events that are very difficult to wrap your head around.

I'm pretty sure you can reach max level in current ez-mode WoW with that machine. All you'd have to do is move your character to level-appropriate zones and let 'er rip.

A Velious expansion would make sense after the success of the Kunark revamps. The closest SoV has gotten to a sequel was SoF with Kerafyrm and that was ages ago. The other classic expacs all got recent post-100 storyline follow-ups (Kunark got EoK and RoS, Luclin got TDS, Planes got TBM and...

Was really hoping they'd just leave the level cap at 110 and build sideways from there with gear/AAs. Or ideally, leave the cap at 100. Level raises stopped being interesting or compelling content long ago IMO when we have AAs to get instead. Level raises are still fun in WoW because it doesn't...

Before FF7 came out, I thought the whole game took place in Midgar. I was pretty disappointed. Here we've got a chance to see that location fully-realized, after all this time. I hope they don't drop the ball.

Midgar IS mindblowing. If you're gonna take any one area from any old-school RPG and turn it into a full-sized modern game, Midgar is the first thing that comes to mind.

I'd be down with some pseudo-endgame fights. One fight I always wanted to have was a 3-on-5 with Rufus and the Turks (ever since that early concept art with the five of them mean muggin'). I mean there's a lot of cool shit they can do. Level softcaps seem like the way to go. Trying to remember...

Just realized. If your stats carry over from one FF7 game to the next...so many people are going to have fully maxed-out, level 99 parties whenever the second game comes out. They might want to tune the other installments for that. Doesn't matter how many boars it takes, it's what people are...
