I'd like to see more of Kenny vs Ospreay too. They're a couple of hosses who look like they legitimately want to kick each other's asses. It's hard to describe, but it's got a certain dynamic I haven't really seen in a feud since Rock and Austin's various run-ins. There's a little respect there...

I heard about TLOU2, I just didn't spend any time thinking about it. The most off-putting thing about it for me was always the "LIFE IS PAAAAIN" emo box art and I didn't plan on ever playing it. Now that I am, I'm finding it an alright game (probably because my expectations were so low) but I...

Wasn't there a Last of Us 2 thread on here? Can't find it in the search. Maybe it got merged into this one. In any case, I'm checking out TLOU2 more finally during a bout of insomnia. Why am I playing as Abby? There's nothing appealing about this character. I like the game a lot more when it...

This guy makes some good points, good listen/watch if you need some background for a couple hours. In retrospect I think the whole final act of this game ruined it for me. So much nonsensical dialogue, so much fanservice, right down to showing the final Seph/Cloud duel and Seph going "not yet...

Finished Ys VIII. Didn't like it that much because the map is infamously bad. I didn't like Ys IX for the same reason. I guess I'm just kinda done with this series. Next up: Live-a-Live on Switch, probably. Edit: Actually I'm taking some swings at Uncharted 4 and Last of Us 2. Might bounce...

Nah I'm good. Not poor, but I don't mind having to delete things that I'm no longer playing and reinstall them later if need be. A minor amount of inconvenience given how little I actually game on the PS5.

Good call here. Takes place in the Iraq region 1200 years ago (I believe it was part of Persia at that time) and goes back to the basics of the early games in the series. So shorter/smaller game that has denser content, rather than the overlong open world format of the last few. No more having...

Wait, the achievement is actually working correctly? Maybe I wrote all of this off too soon. I don't think Vish will be too bad, Sendaii and Deathknell are going to be problems. Vish is only about following directions, the others more or less necessitate using spells that people won't have at...

Now you're just yankin' my crank. There's so much I can't remember about ER that I might have no choice but to reinstall it and PLAY IT A FOURTH TIME BAY-BEE

TBH I agree, a lot of Youtube/elsewhere people at present make great points but it's buried under a bunch of yelling or name-calling or whatever else that turns normies off.

Which item is that, the fork-looking one? Or maybe it's a T. I'd check but I (gasp) uninstalled the game a while ago and I'm not even home. Related note, wish PS5 had some decent storage space.

The games industry seems kind of grim right now.

"Shithead."

"Soldier of Godrick is one of the hardest bosses in the base game" That's a joke right? I don't even remember that fight.

The entire Consecrated Snowfield / Haligtree area is about the size and scope of a typical From DLC. Not a lot of features, that might change with this if they add the multiplayer fighting arenas though.

Whenever I hear anything about Maliketh I don't really get it, because he keeled over so fast every time I played. Having a half health meter doesn't help his case. I think he's a glass cannon deal, so if you don't obliterate him quickly he gets difficult to deal with. Anyone have any advice...

That's the least of the game's problems. I think the big root of it all is a lack of respect for the source material. Happens a lot these days, some new people hijack an IP with a fanbase and proceed to inject their own worldview into it without much regard for the existing fanbase or respect...

Sekiro is something people either really like or really don't like. I like that it demands your full attention while playing, because so few games do that anymore. At the same time, that's the main thing keeping me from doing more with it. Feels like I gotta set aside like a week where I'm not...

...what is CP? ER I get, everyone knows ER. Edit: Nevermind I can echo that Tsushima is ridiculously good and deserves more buys. Play it if you haven't

Is this the first time we've seen any public sales figures for TLOU2? They should have just released them, 10M is respectable (even if slightly embarrassing after the first got twice that). By not releasing the sales figures, they had people like me thinking it had sold like 0.8M or something.

You might want to play both versions of Demon Souls (PS3 and PS5) since they're so different in tone and atmosphere. They feel like different games. Probably the PS3 version first to get the most out of both. I'd leave Sekiro for last, cause it isn't really a Soulsborne.

The Split Pad Pro arrived. It looks like it's purple, not blue. Was hard to tell on the website. The purple looks significantly worse than what I expected. Not that keen on it so instead of opening it I think I'm gonna switch it out for a black one, even if it's some trouble.

I really wish they'd have had one final after-credits scene showing what happened. Would have been a great scene and this wasn't a movie that needed ambiguity or sequel-hinting at the end. Know what sci-fi movie I wish would get a sequel? Life. That one ended on a cliffhanger but it actually...

A bunch of us are expecting that to be the case. All of these achievements are in-DZ because that's the only way to prevent cheesing (bring a higher level character into the DZ and it insta-negates any achievements from the DZ). That's right, anyone thinking of going back and trivializing these...

Sammy Guevara just wrote a multi-paragraph dissertation on a backstage issue with Eddie that the company kept quiet for a month. ...and NEWWW NXT Champion, Sammy Guevara! Edit: Now he's being hauled into a meeting with TK, Megha Parekh, and Pat Buck. Wouldn't be surprised if he really is gone...

Interim champion is way better than vacating the title. Title vacates break the lineage, and...well, ask WCW how well that goes. AEW seems absolutely snakebit this year. Hangman kinda flopped as champion, Rosa has flopped as champion. Injury after injury to major players. Britt and Hayter...

I wonder what the story here is. This is the first I've heard anything about it. In 1992 I don't think he was in the WWF yet. He was still 7 feet tall and could probably beat anybody up. I'm trying to figure this one out. Anyone have more insight?

Starrcade was pretty much a two-match show, which makes the insane buyrate even more impressive. And then one of those two matches (Nash/Giant) gets cancelled mid-show and moved to the following month's PPV, which didn't have a title match. Yeah, Starrcade itself was pretty bad. The main event...

Had a visitor: Niente was giving out otter illusions all over the place. Here's this insane Scorpiks illusion I don't think I've seen before. Unfortunately I was eventually felled by SADS. This hurt more than any death on the server because I lost my permanent beaver illusion.

Yeah, I still haven't gotten too far in Sekiro so I don't know too much about it. Still want to get to it by the end of the year. Strikes me as a game that'll take me a while to get into, then suddenly be my favorite game ever. Like Bloodborne was. It sounds like there are probably 8 or 9...

Has anyone played Live-a-Live on Switch yet? That's my next game after I finish Ys VIII, probably starting it within another week or two.

Bind Rush farming out all of the Luclin content at 40 and then discovering it was pointless at 55 when everything unlocked for free...was probably the biggest thing that made people just straight-up not want to bother with the server more. The rules and unlocks and everything else were pretty...

Any suggestions on how TF to finish Beware the Hive at 60? Even with harmshield and advanced FD, the mix of live/undead mobs and the complete overload of casters makes success very unlikely. Gave it a few tries. Surprised I got all the other updates.

Cool, I'm ordering one. Going with the blue one cause I kinda like the look of it the most. Probably should go with black, but w/e. Haven't played Switch in a bit, next game I'm playing is Live a Live though and this'll be perfect for that since it'll probably be 90% on the go. Rumble isn't...

This is really cool, didn't know it existed. I usually play Switch OLED in awkward-controlling handheld mode so this could be a huge game changer. Two things: A) Do these work with Switch OLED? Not sure if it's a different size from the normal Switch but I don't think so. Assuming it'd work...

Instead of one month at 55 and 3 months at 60, it should have been 2 months at each. We were rushed at 55, now at 60 it's too much time for the reasons you said. Also we spent way too much time sitting at 40. Should have been a 45 bump halfway through the time to 50.

Not surprised Game Informer gave it a higher score than the others. They've become a bit known for giving awards/status to things perceived as being consciously Woke. Like the Oscars does, factoring "politics" into awards rather than just merit. Basically, they're participants in Sovietization...

Got something for the statistics nerds: Starrcade '97 was WCW's highest-bought PPV ever and got about 700k buys. That number wouldn't be surpassed in the Monday Night War until some time in the following year, either WM14 or Summerslam 98, which both got a little over 700k. That ended up being...
