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...

Wait, are you saying there are FFT mods that add cut Lucavi/maps back in? Where can I find these mods? I assume you're talking about the PSP War of the Lions version. I need to start getting into the mod community in general. I've modded literally nothing over the years, except Elder Scrolls...

Did you play FF7R? The ending of it shows something new happening at the end of Crisis Core. It's idiotic and they should have left Crisis Core alone, but I'm still surprised that this new version of Crisis Core doesn't even have the slightest whiff of referencing FF7R's ending. I'm actually...

I'll see your 1997 and raise you that 2000 is objectively better. -Final Fantasy IX -Grandia 2 -Wild Arms 2 -Chrono Cross -Vagrant Story -Valkyrie Profile -Skies of Arcadia -Deus Ex -Diablo 2 -Counter-Strike -The Sims -Majora's Mask -Paper Mario -Perfect Dark -Pokemon Gold and Silver -Pokemon...

Dreams about FF Tactics are pretty far down the list of reasons I need professional help. And yeah, I've been realizing lately that Square-Enix is lazier than I thought. Not just the Tactics Reborn laziness, but also Crisis Core. The remaster seems really well-done, but they didn't add anything...

Not sure what thread to put this in: I think this is where we were discussing FF Tactics so I guess this one. I keep having this recurring dream about playing an FF Tactics with the cut content / maps restored and multiple new Lucavi demons. I mean they only gave us five out of the twelve...

I don't know, I only have 55'' and 65'' LGs. IMO 55'' is the sweet spot for PS5 visuals. I'm on a 65'' right now and it's a bit excessive considering I tend to not sit too far from the TV, but it'll probably be perfect for a PS5 Pro and onward if we get anything more advanced console-wise any...

I think people are fussing way too much over Teenage Tifa. I doubt Square-Enix changed her on purpose to be more "SJW", I think she just ended up that way. Her character model isn't very detailed, so she's likely one of the aspects of this remake that they went low-effort with and didn't spend a...

This is also my strategy with farming the Brass Shield in that first camp. Get a bunch of levels, get a shield that might never get replaced. Generally you want to grind levels in areas that you're also farming something from, or are learning how to play better with. There are a couple of big...

Samurai is the best class to start. Put a lot of points in HP early and for a while, then switch to whatever stat boosts Uchigatana attack the most (I think dex). They start with the best starting weapon (Uchi) which is good for a while, and you can get a second one fairly early in the game to...

The difficulty isn't as insane as it appears...it's not that bad if you overlevel. At the outset it looks daunting. Game gives you no hints, puts a very strong boss right in front of you where you start, etc. That boss isn't representative of the overall game, it's just there to put the Fear Of...

I played some Collection of SaGa on the Switch. It's pretty good, though nothing you can't emulate easily enough. With one exception: Turning up the game speed doesn't affect the sound. That's pretty awesome. Started FFL1 (SaGa 1 in Japan). This is the most basic/rudimentary of the trio. FFL2...

January 4th Dynamite is gonna have a much-needed new look and set, brighter and more colorful. Though hopefully not the bowl of Fruity Pebbles look of current WWE. I don't think we'll see giant 3D shapes hovering in the air.

Surprised we don't have more Crisis Core discussion going on here. Are people spending time with their families or something? I'm curious as to whether there's any new story in CC to tie in with the FF7R series. Particularly at the end, since they already rendered the end of CC pointless and...

It's hilarious to me that Flash is getting a solo movie like 6 years after he was introduced in the ensemble movie. The cart isn't gonna pull the horse here. Even more hilarious that the current DCU is gonna end with Flash and Aquaman movies that should have been out in like 2020 at the latest...

I'm really over all this "Limited Run" type bullshit that has gained popularity with publishers in the last few years. Artificially drive up demand by making something scarce, probably cost themselves money in the process by not doing a normal goddamn release.
