Huh. All this time I thought it was a port/remaster of the existing saga. They're using parts of ep 1-7 that didn't make it into those games? That's...huh. Pretty much all the major setpieces made it into those games, so if this is only covering the uncovered parts, it isn't gonna have much to...

GoD is pretty damn good as an expansion, but a GoD start doesn't make much sense. If they're going to do a late-start TLP and have it be a new experience for most people, it should really be TSS. That's the start of the modern game, and the only expac post-Luclin to have content for all levels...

The secret is that I'm not actually playing most of these things all the way through, I'm finishing them off. For example I did like half of my Elden Ring playing (at least) in February, Breath of Fire 4 is a 40-something hour game but I only had like the last 10 hours to do, etc. I really do...

Yeah I agree. I had no less than 8 or 9 respec fetuses (or whatever they are) after I beat the game, and I think I've used up half of them already trying different builds and that's with me playing sporadically / switching builds minimally. It should just be unlimited.

Yeah, I care much more about open world fighting than I do about endgame raid metas, so warlock is probably fine. Intredasting. Now that I think about it, I used to play a game called Terris (think it's Legends of Terris now) that also had quite a bit in common with EQ despite being a text...

I haven't had a GF in a couple years, otherwise I'd be totally neutered on these backlog challenges. I don't think I've ever had a GF who actually knew how to let me have personal space for an entire 24 hour span without freaking out and wanting to come over. Which is how I built up this huge...

How do you ride the chariot, just jump on it? lul, when I was here earlier in the game and noped out, at one point I summoned two other players at the beginning or wherever, and then the FIRST CHARIOT we saw instantly killed both of them because they just stood out in the middle of the lava...

Hitting Gelmir Hero's Grave now and the chariots are some BS. Apparently the very first area (if you return to it via the towers on that hill) also has chariots in it and there's more to it. I already used up the key for that on a different tower though. I once dated a girl who told me she was...

I'm pretty sure it's a remaster of the 7 existing Lego Star Wars movie episodes, with 8 and 9 added on. The trailers are all shots I recognize from the other games.

You can spawn the dual bosses in Redmane by talking to the caster-looking dude in the tower until he says he's moving on, then warp back to the grace point. Suddenly the room that the NPCs were gathered in will have a fog door on it and you can fight the dual bosses. They drop a legendary weapon...

Anyone know offhand what dungeon it is that has the lava ramps and the chariots? I think that's the only dungeon I found in the game that I didn't go back and finish, so I have to do that. Watched a boss list and the only one I didn't recognize was a pair of those giant spinning mech things, so...

Finished Ikaruga on Switch. It's a shooter that was highly-acclaimed so I plunked down $15 for it a while back, not something I normally do for an unknown, but it seemed decent enough. Turned out it's obscenely difficult and I could never get into it, though I chipped at it for a while to try...

Went to farm some rune arcs from rats in the Earth cave, with 110 discovery and the silver fowl buff. 45 minutes later and I had like...3. I wanted to get to 5 or 10 but I couldn't stand it anymore and quit out. I thought rats dropped them like candy, what gives? On the flipside I don't really...

It never ceases to amaze me how much WoW ripped off of EQ without getting sued, or even anybody really noticing. I mean they came out with a purple crystal zone called Heart of Fear at the same time that EQ's endzone was a purple crystal zone called Heart of Fear. Pretty much all the druid...

I know Shadowlands is subpar and all that but I'd like to check it out some time in the next couple months, if only to blow through the leveling content. Three classes I'm considering, how are they doing at this point? Arcane Mage - Think this is the BFA character I got to max level anyway...

This actually sounds like it might be pretty accurate. The Void Lords were always the endgame and they're overdue for a dragon-centric expansion and more elemental planes. Aren't there still 2 or 3 other Old Gods still out there too? Like N'Zoth showed up, but none of the others. So 12.0 will...

I used the quit-out screen as basically an FD in this game. One of the reasons I was able to get through it fairly quickly was because I sometimes would outrun mobs and then quit out at a boss door or whatnot to FD them off, didn't actually fight my way through a lot of places unless I needed...

Probably about 80% of the stuff I missed was in Limgrave and Caelid, aka the earliest places I went through, so chances are I didn't get thorough until Liurnia onward. I think for the most part I was just trying to stay alive at the beginning, and was so absorbed with beating Castle Morne that I...

Lul, first thing I did back in this game was die on like, the first room. I think the difficulty might be a little higher than the very beginning since I did a bunch of cycles (up to or near Phreke) in the past. I don't remember the first room with enemies having like 7 mobs in it. It's gonna be...

Yeah I don't get it either. There's nothing interesting about watching a video where someone just warps past 98% of a game. Like "who can fall through the floor at the beginning of Mario 64 and drop into Bowser's room fastest" isn't an interesting speedrun to me. I'd much rather see people...

It looks like you need to play through the trilogies in order? So you choose either 1, 4, or 7 to start and go from there. I hope this isn't actually the case, because I beat 7 not too long ago and have like zero desire to play it again, just wanted to get to the new content (8 and 9 have never...

RIP. I tuned in to Raw to see what kind of tribute (or well-wishes if they didn't know his status yet) would open the show, and...nothing. Not even a mention by the announcers, zilch. This is like bizarro world, since when did they just ignore such a major passing?

That's incredible, I didn't know that. Yeah, it's like the One Winged Angel. Nobody has ever kicked out of it (except the one obscure time it happened but we've retconned that out, shh) and if Omega isn't winning a match, he just doesn't get to do it. So there's always the sense that he could...

Was on my way to that cave in south Limgrave to farm some rats, and along the way I discovered FIVE other locations that I missed until now. Two dungeons, a tower with a Memory Stone, some ruins, and an open-world boss arena. This game really is something else. I've played games before where...

The speedrun community has kinda gotten taken over by wokeism, or at least has the illusion that it has, like a lot of other gaming communities. It's whatever. Things being more inclusive is fine with me, it's only when they start rejecting diversity of thought that they become a problem. And...

I hate when areas become inaccessible late in a game, especially when they have something missable that's needed for a plat. Probably the only peeve I have with this game. Also the missable talisman slot. Hell, missable things in general. This game reminds me a lot of Secret of Mana later on...

Oh good. Yeah I'll probably only use the save scum thing right before Phreke. Any permanent upgrades I should be looking out for? I've got the red sword and the air dash and some other stuff, like a missile addition to pistol shots.

I'll give it a quick plow over the weekend if I'm not doing anything else. FF is probably my favorite series and I've played almost everything in it (except 11, 14, and Crystal Chronicles). I enjoyed the hell out of Lightning Returns and it felt like a similarly "unnecessary" side-quel during a...

Looks like there's a suspend feature now. Which likely means you can back up your save outside a boss room and reload it if you lose, a bit of a game changer that should make this way easier. Now I just need to actually get to the boss in good shape and with the right powerups. I got to Phrike...

Yeah, Miquella is around, and probably won't be a kid anymore when you fight him. So the main question is whether there'll be one DLC or two. I guess we'll find out for sure if DLC1 contains both Miquella and Marika, because there's nowhere else to go from there I think.

Grats on forum first plat, AFAIK. This is a particularly fun plat because it's mostly bosses. Only thing I'm really missing is that I totally whiffed on doing the sidequest that has Lichdragon and the third ending.

Yeah, Radahn is the fight that almost made me take a break from the game. I took a day specifically to just play ER (I think it was the first full day I took just to play it, too) and planned to make all kinds of progress, then spent 3-4 hours just dying to Radahn over and over again. Towards...

I upgraded the Rykard sword to +9, can't wait to see how much damage it does to that particular boss in NG+. I'd try it in this game but I doubt anyone is gonna summon me at level 195 or whatever I am now.

So for the DLCs we've got Miquella and Marika? Maybe each one is the final boss of a DLC if they're doing two. TBH I'd rather just get one super-good one like Souls 1 and Bloodborne did. But yeah I hope we fight Marika at the end, after seeing statues of her all game. Also hope Miquella is just...

Trying to decide if I want to play Sekiro or Returnal next. Both of them are games I gave up on early because of their difficulty, but after Elden Ring I feel like I can beat down any game if it's worthwhile. Then again I never played Breath of the Wild or Ghost of Tsushima any appreciable...

Think I'm gonna give this another shot, since I'm coming off of Elden Ring and feel like I can take on any challenge that requires persistence like this does. From everything I've read it gets easier as it goes on. I'd like to at least clear it once. Gonna try to get some of the powerups @Dandai...

Yeah, the Tree Sentinel is like Vile at the beginning of Mega Man X, or Gades in Lufia to get obscure. You're not supposed to beat him at the beginning. I beat him about 4 hours into the game myself, after I downed a couple other bosses. The world map also lets you put down icons/markers, so you...

What's a good place to farm rats for Rune Arcs? The capitol sewers springs to mind but I despise that place. I'm basically out of Rune Arcs though, wouldn't mind having a bunch more. It's funny how I'm basically playing this like an MMO now. Like I reached endgame and beat it, now I'm playing...

Finished Dynasty Warriors 8, went through the story modes of all four kingdoms (yeah there's a fourth now). There's no trophy for doing any of this, weirdly enough, all the trophies are for like Free Mode and random shit. Here I've got all of the stages unlocked in Free Mode, which shows I...
