Yeah, I like doing "all one class" runs in FF1. I've beaten the game with everything except 4x White Mage so far. 4x Thief was insanely rough for the first half. Like "do 1 damage all the time unless critical" rough. I can't imagine single-character runs in FFT go well. I'm guessing you mean 5...

I think this has the potential to be really good. That works, cause I got Witcher 3 Complete Edition digitally for $19 on a sale years ago. Getting the whole thing PS5-upgraded might inspire me to start the game over and give it a real go.

Been seeing a lot of FTX in the news, so it's gonna go up from all the publicity. I think it's the newest graphics card. Putting $10k on FTX stock as we speak Alright I guess I have to do the rest of them as per Lurkingdirk adding New Rules like he's Bill Maher or something: Soygen vs...

Whoa there. I seek out being alone because I have other shit to do! I could be, but I'd be depressed as fuck, and can't fix anything anyway, so I have to keep hope alive. Foler vs. Gavinmad Lithose vs. BrutulTM - Lithose is probably my "most missed poster" on here. Masakari vs. BoozeCube...

Yeah, I read it, but it was a bit ago. Don't remember seeing a map, so I'm following the story...yeah, good chance I'll outlevel everything and just be questing to unlock more places. It's a weird way to do an expansion, trying to just "see it" much less spending any kind of real effort on it...

Cool, when does flying unlock? Did a relatively brief session and flew through 51-54 in like an hour in Bastion. Want to check out Ardenweald next but I don't know how to get there, hopefully it isn't locked behind the Bastion questlines because I think I'll hit 60 before I finish any of...

Pretty much. In other news, Witcher 3 current-gen upgrade on December 14 and it's FREE to people who have the old version (not sure if that means digital only, or if it means regular game or Complete Edition or both). So I don't feel bad about waiting so long to get back to it now, or buying it...

Shadowlands so far: SO MUCH TALKING. Also I hate these microscopic new icons (lower right corner). Who thought it was a good idea to make the icons (that you click on the most) tiny and blend together? Looks like after today's patch, the levels will fly by, so I'll probably have to do most of...

It's not THAT bad. I'm going to guess it's around 30k Scoville at the most. Quite hot for fast food, shouldn't ruin your day though. Last time I was in NYC I got the Reaper Taco from Gringo's Tacos, found it inedible, and had a stomachache for like an entire day from the little bit of it that I...

Finally got around to this one. Well, Diablo roast beef, not chicken. Much hotter than the "Ghost Pepper" Whopper or the Hot Ones burger from Shake Shack. Like this one actually has legit heat. Nothing compared to some of the sauces I have at home, but well beyond what I expect from fast food...

Yeah, I did that on one playthrough too. Have to do it on the Wiegraf fight sometimes. Just run away from him Shouting until you can one-punch him, with Auto Potion offsetting the Lightning Sword attack when he catches up. Blows my mind that they put that super-punishing fight right after a...

Far as I'm concerned there should be two different tiers for game awards: Elden Ring, and Everything Else.

Yeah, FFT's lategame balance is off quite a bit because of Orlandu (and to a lesser extent Meliadoul). If you use him/them, the game is easymode. If you don't use him/them, the game is way hard. A couple years ago I replayed FFT with an "FF4 party". Paladin (Knight with White Magic), Dragoon...

I thought I was the only one who didn't get much out of Witcher 3. I liked Witcher 2 fine, then when I played Witcher 3...I dunno, it never clicked. Think I spent like 15 hours on it before I totally lost interest. Have heard ever since that it's incredible and I should give it another chance...

Probably. Just happened to play into everything the US government was already planning to do, and they memory-holed Building 7 instead of explaining it. Start pulling that thread and the whole thing has a ton of question marks.

I was at an old computer game store and picked up Warcraft 3 (Battle Chest version) with the expansion and the guidebook and everything. It's all a little beat up, but it was a steal at $15. Never played any of the original WC games but I'll certainly play this and Frozen Throne.

I think that: -UFOs are a thing that have been buzzing us for a long time. -Earth is a more interesting than average planet, by far. Most planets don't have life on them, much less complex life, much less the sheer diversity of biomes that we do. -UFO buzz-bys ramped up a lot in the late...

What's with the WoW logo these days? It's been pretty colorless for 3 straight expansions (which coincides with the game's decline in quality, IMO) Look how much more colorful and vibrant the original logo is in comparison.

Nope. The GBA one got remastered on PSP, so if you want to play a nice-looking version of that, grab FF2 on PSP. That was my favorite version of FF2. I still think the postgame content was better than the main game, and only the GBA/PSP versions have it. Pixel Remaster just goes back to the...

Pretty much gave up on Bayonetta 3. I got about a third of the way through the game but I just wasn't finding it interesting compared to other games in the series, probably because of the washed-out Switch graphics. Got to one level where I had to unlock a gate and wandered around lost for like...

I've said it before, anyone who has that "lol it's a 20 year old game lol" attitude is someone I immediately write off. ...apparently it's 30 now according to this guy. Well, in ten years there'll still be people on the message boards pretending they don't care about stuff or are "above" it all...

Another cool thing about TO is that the battles are much bigger-scale. FFT's five-character limit is a drag, especially when enemy groups start having 8+ enemies later on. TO it's more even.

Playing Bayonetta 3 right now. Still not crazy about it, but I'm about a third of the way through the main story so at least it won't take a super long time. Definitely should have gotten Tactics instead but hey.

Side anecdote, Story Time With Raj, feel free to skip: When I was a kid (like 18) I worked for a gas station. 3 days a week, nothing serious, was just putting in some work to help my mom out instead of starting college. A few people at the gas station had a clique and didn't like me, so they...

Or they'll add an Easy Mode where you no longer need to micro-manage or think, trivializing the gameplay and destroying the overall game. Every time I say stuff like this, people are like "what's wrong with easy modes, you can just not use them". In some cases I agree, some games are better off...

Ding 50! Now the New Stuff begins

Teh Jailer "I'm The Guardian!"

Yeah, half the appeal of a TSS start is having all those new 1-70 leveling zones to make use of / funnel the players. It'd be like a brand new game for a lot of people. Except in practice you'd go in on release day and Blightfire Moors would be empty because everyone would be packed into Field...

I'd do short unlocks so it wouldn't be a normal 3 month cycle. I'm saying it'd be similar to the Vaniki we got, just with the unlocks spaced out and not clumped together. So like two weeks at 40 in Classic, two weeks at 50 in Kunark, two weeks of Velious, two weeks of Luclin, two weeks of PoP at...

I think the correct order is Originals: 6, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2 Pixel Remasters: 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 2 That's right, I think 3 gets a significant bump from the remaster. 5 is probably a better game, but it's a bit too long for me to do casual plays of it like I do with 1/4/6. 3 is so drastically improved...

Yeah. Wouldn't even have to change much. Start at level 40 again, but in classic. Raise it to 50 for Kunark, keep it there until PoP which goes to 55.

Tactics Ogre might be the only 1P console game I like more than FF Tactics

If Vish didn't happen at 60, very little chance Lethar is happening at 65 or Meldrath at 70. I thought Vish would be doable since it's mostly execution. I hope we see a Vaniki 2.0 next year (or the year after) with better thought-out objectives and clearer structure (in terms of unlocks). There...

That all sounds like bad design to say the least. I'm gonna get to 60, see as much of the SL zones as I can along the way, run all the dungeons and LFR raids once, then do Dragonflight launch the same time everyone else does, then quit. Will hopefully be a fun month and a half, I've never...

Wow, so that'll get him to 6 solo movies. The other modern Spideys got 3 and 2. Pretty much cements Holland as THE Spidey of the era. I figured they'd replace him with Miles Morales before any further solo movies happened. As for the 3 MCU movies... Avengers 5 and 6 makes sense. What might the...

This any good? How'd they handle Chadwick/T'Challa? I assume he dies early in the movie or offscreen. Spoil away because I probably won't get to this one for a while. Was actually supposed to see it tonight, friend got me a ticket to it, and then I got held up on the highway by Accident #4803...

So the first zone in Shadowlands, that you have to do the first time through, is also total shite? Man, you'd think they would put their best foot forward. Played for another half hour, somehow went from 45-47. One more dungeon run and it's Shadowlands time. I've got like, two and a half weeks...

Jeez. Alright, so I can start Shadowlands at 48 yeah? Where do I go to start it? Got to 45 in last night's sesh. I can play for like 30 minutes (or one level) at a time before I start to snooze. Prolly do a big session this weekend.
