    Justice League (2017)

    I think half of the articulate posters on this forum could do a better job than DC has done, if they were given the Feige position of charting a course and a vision/plan. Seriously. The bar is so low. Re: Hulk and how Marvel can't get him right... I'm shocked there hasn't been a Planet Hulk...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 4 ends March 31

    Unfortunately FC6 long since got returned to the library (I've got a fantastic library with a zillion video games in it) and I think I'm pretty done on that one. I am down to co-op the next FC game though. Ghost of Tsushima is probably the best game I have that I haven't "gotten into" because...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Well, I tried really hard to get into MH3U and 4U, but I just couldn't do it. They're too antiquated. While MH4U is pretty much killed from the get-go by the old 3DS control scheme, especially camera movement, MH3U feels like it has a ton of potential. The lack of lock-on and objectives just...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 4 ends March 31

    I just started Sekiro last night but obviously I won't beat that any time soon. Haven't played anything else the last couple days, but I've got a few days off and I'm mulling over what to do with it. Got a few ideas, but I'll need to choose: Resident Evil 1+2 remakes (have been backlogged since...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Was just coming here to ask if anybody's checking out the new Kirby game. My first game was Kirby's Dream Land so I like the series. However they've been getting easier and easier and fucking dirt-easy in the last couple decades. They were always on the easy side, but easy as in "Mario with a...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    Finally playing this, just defeated Chained Ogre and now feel like a big shot. I love how lenient the parry window is compared to other From games. I don't think it'll be as difficult as I thought all this time (aside from roadblocks like Lady Butterfly etc). Just rolled through the first hour...

    Dark Souls

    I was researching this more and the answers seem to lie in Dark Souls 2. It looks like 6th Archstone stage 1 was going to be Frigid Outskirts and 2 was going to be the Ivory King's Castle (likely by another name). Still don't know what the bosses would have been. However, Frigid Outskirts would...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Watched the Snyder Cut of Justice League this week and really liked it. Sorta want to revisit Batman Vs Superman now since I barely remember it besides that everyone thought it sucked. There seems to be a longer director's cut and I'm assuming that's the good version? Just want to make sure I...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yep. Only had like 180 discovery though IIRC. I'm gonna take a stab at Sekiro tonight. Last time I tried it was around when it first came out, and I couldn't beat the first miniboss. Now that I've thoroughly pummeled and platinumed most of the Soulsborne games, maybe I can get to the -second-...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I gave up on that farm. Actually started getting nauseous after about 45 minutes of nonstop rat-killing where I got, like, 3. It's sorta like Sunlight Medals (Dark Souls 1 and 2) in that you're "supposed" to get them through co-op, and the devs just gave you a super-grindy out in case you...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 4 ends March 31

    Got the platinum. Turns out you don't have to replay the entire game on hard mode. The trophy is bugged so you only need to play the first stage on hard mode. I love when stuff like this happens. Plowed it, did the odds and ends for a few bronzes, and finished up by leveling a class to 99 (had...

    Justice League (2017)

    Let me see what I can do as far as a strong vision goes. Was thinking earlier about how I'd have done the DCCU if I were running it. Obviously Marvel set the template for a 3-phase structure (lol @ phase 4) culminating with a battle against a big bad, so I'm going to try to emulate that while...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This is actually an incredible find, wonder if there are any unreachable locations that can be reached with this flying mount. I'd check around all the sides of Mountaintop of Giants (pretty sure it's all just empty mountains but yeah), the cloud at the center of the world, and those boats that...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I switched to Moonveil and respecced for sorcery at the end of my NG run (to use in NG+) and I have to say, I'm not that crazy about any of it besides Moonveil's awesome look. Felt like I was more effective when I was using Malenia katana with lots of dex. Might even switch back midway through...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I get that. I mean, I bought various versions of other From games just to plat them again, and it crossed my mind to get ER on PS4 just to plat it twice. People thought I was crazy when I went back and played the very-antiquated Souls 2 on PS3 to platinum it, when I already had SOTFS on PS4 (my...

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

    Just finished this. Really enjoyed it, recommended to any Final Fantasy fans (especially fans of the first one on NES, as this visits the same locales).

    OH HAI. FF1 prequel downed, 17 points on the big board. I liked this one a lot, too bad it's getting dumped on a bit by journos. Was a fun and fairly quick play. I was gonna go for the platinum too, but it takes an entire full NG+ playthrough with everything set to the hardest difficulty, and...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 4 ends March 31

    Yeah, one person shouldn't be able to win both. I think Democrat Primary rather than Republican Primary is the way to go for prize 1, so you don't have to be #1 to win, and prize 2 being just for participating is a good idea too. Looks like Elden Ring's HLTB time has gone up by like 3 hrs since...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 4 ends March 31

    I'm at 69 points (HEE HEE) not 70. Not to worry, this month's challenge goes off of a Democrat Primary proportionate delegate awarding system, as opposed to the Republican Primary winner-take-all delegate awarding system. Didn't get much of anything done last week but I plowed Stranger of...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    If you're a high level, does Mimic Tear re-become the best summon over Tiche? Yeah, Tiche is better, but if the Mimic copies your stats, I imagine there's a point where it surpasses Tiche.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Twin Abductor is the only fight I know of (besides Lichdragon which is unavailable) that I never actually did. In the postgame I always had a Rune Arc activated and didn't like that you had to take a death to reach that boss. Figured I'd check it out whenever I died next, but I never died again...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, that's what I was saying before. This game like, obsoletes other games. I did one run, did everything I could possibly find, ended up at level 218 or so, grinded up to 255 to have the stats I wanted, called it a day for now. The main concern for me is not burning it out and leaving NG+ /...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I also had a ton of trouble with the commander is the northern snow castle (the one that guards half the medallion for the secret not-DLC zones) too, if that's Niall. I totally forgot about him when I was listing the bosses that gave me grief. There really does seem to be a variance between...

    Justice League (2017)

    Just watched the second half. That was really really good. Now I wish I remembered the theatrical version at all so I could compare, because I don't know how you get a single JL movie out of this. This was like JL1 and 2 rolled into one, with tons of setup for 3 (and what could have easily been...

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

    I dunno if I'm the first person on the planet to notice this or what, but it looks like the five main characters correspond to Garland and the Four Fiends on the intro screen of the game. What I mean is, you can see colors coming off of them and the colors correspond with the fiends. Black dude...

    Yeah I agree on the no selling Rosa is gonna have the title for a while I think, has to go through Deeb and a Britt rematch, maybe Jade. Jamie Hayter is probably the next champion.

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

    Be warned that the disc version of the game has a massive installation. I think you need 150 GB free (it only ends up using about 90 though) and while it lets you play while the installation is going on, you can only play the beginning. Maybe 20 minutes in and it's cutting you off with another...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I totally agree that this is their magnum opus. I don't even know if it's particularly close. Should post this in the backlog thread and get on the board for the end-of-month raffle drawing if you haven't.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Twinblades are so much fun. Godskin Twinblade + the clone was how I beat most of the second half or so of the game. Now I alternate between Malenia katana and Moonveil. I think the Malenia one is overall superior (mainly due to the reach), but Moonveil is better as long as you have FP.

    Peacemaker

    The last time I was in Chicago, I decided to take the train out of downtown on my last day there instead of ubering, cause I figured it couldn't actually be that bad and I've taken trains in NYC and other places without much issue. Midway through the ride this black dude waddled past me and...

    Man, the DCCU is such a garbled mess with all the recasts and everything. It's a shame because after seeing Snyder's Justice League this week, I REALLY wish the DC Universe had its act together so I could get more with those characters.

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

    Finished the first bit of the game. It seems to follow FF1 so precisely that it almost qualifies as FF1 Remake. Which is awesome. However, enough things are different, much like 7 Remake, that I'm wondering what exactly they're going to pull here with the timeline. Which is certainly more...

    I was sick for a few days, didn't make any progress in Returnal like I planned to, and put everything else aside to play Stranger of Paradise next. Just started it, we'll see how that goes.
