    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    I didn't say it was worth $1500, I said I've got about that much worth of relic draws on the account. I assume FFRK accounts are worth a lot less, even moderately well-geared ones like mine. Regardless, if anyone wants to make an offer or see the wares PM me and I'll send screenshots. At this...

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    Not gonna lie, stuff like that can make mediocre games a lot more tolerable. There have been a few times where I was on a stronger painkiller for a week or two and spent that week or two destroying my backlog of games I couldn't be arsed to finish under normal circumstances. Even the dull ones...

    I probably won't get to Ys 8 before Ys 9 because time isn't gonna permit it. So I'll be going 7-9-8. At least the story isn't super-important to follow in order. 8 sounds like it's got some issues. I'm really into the Souls style of attacks feeling deliberate/weighted. One of the reasons Hyrule...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    If anyone's interested in getting into this and wants to buy my account, shoot me a PM. Haven't played it in about a year now but it's pretty up to date for that point. Tons of level 99 characters and weapons in the 8 or 9 star range, including most of the chase weapons for the Final Fantasy...

    Best phone games?

    Anyone know how feasible it is to play games like Dragon Quest 5 or Final Fantasy Dimensions with a controller on a tablet? As much as I like them on phone with touchscreen controls, I feel like it'd be a much better experience to put them on a tablet with a controller plugged in. Specifically...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    That's a shame. I've had a couple of people now lose their shit at me and stop talking to me because of some innocuous viewpoint I had, like "letting men play in women's sports is doing a disservice to women" type stuff. I'd be willing to bet that most right-wingers have at least a couple of...

    Anything I should look out for in Ys Seven as far as the last boss goes / anything else? I'm basically speedrunning the game. Gonna take more time with Ys 8 depending on how much time I've got until Feb 2nd.

    I'm a ways into Ys Seven now and it's fun. More or less 2.5D like 6 was IIRC. Was kinda expecting it to be 3D like 8/9 but this works. On emulator it looks very much like a Wii game as far as resolution and clarity go. I had to try it on four different computers and each one had a different...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    This is something I would have been super into 5 years ago. Never platinumed any of the three, or even checked out any of the DLCs. ME1 and ME2 were two of my absolute favorite games from the PS3 gen (played them on the trilogy re-release). I mean they really got me thinking about space and the...

    WandaVision

    My God, I hate that. What are they even looking at? If an S.O. of mine starts making a habit of doing that I usually try to put a kibosh on it fast.

    Music Keyboards

    I've got about 20-30 things to sell around here and haven't gotten around to listing any of them on Amazon. This thread has reminded me that I totally could have gotten a lot more overall if I'd gotten all of the selling done a month ago. As for the keyboard, my only worry with the first one...

    Weird how Ys 5 never got a western release much less a remake. You'd think they would have tapped into it by now. I've never played Ys 4 either and have to figure out which version to go with whenever I get around to it. The TG16, Super Famicom, and Vita/PS4 versions are all pretty different...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Here's the thing. I like the idea of Sephiroth time-hopping to interfere with the heroes. However, just reviving Zack with no explanation is ridiculous and diminishes Crisis Core. The ending fights with the Whispers also felt like Kingdom Hearts bullshit with platitudes and nonsensical bullshit...

    Bloodborne

    So Bloodtinge is mainly for gun damage and Arcane is mainly for....? When I first played it and saw that stat, I thought the game had spells. It has some spell-like items but that can't be the only benefit. Oh yeah, and Tonitrus I presume gets Arcane benefit when enchanted. I remember loading...

    Bloodborne

    Martyr Logarius is one of the few bosses that I remember giving me serious grief the 3 or so times I played this game. At least he's skippable, not that anyone should. The other fight that gave me a lot of trouble was Rom the Vacuous Spider. There were a couple more tough fights in the chalice...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Just beat the game after 3 more hours of banging my head against it. One of the final missions, either Nocturne or Last Caress, kept glitching up where nothing would work and I'd have to reload an earlier save. Started that mission over four or five times. By the time I got to the very last...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    This game is a glitched mess. So many crashes, so many warping mobs, disembodied guns, etc. I was bearing with it because the setting really is astoundingly cool (I love Japantown, and the industrial park at night felt like the Midgar Upper Plate that I wish we'd gotten more of in FF7R). But...

    What are you playing?

    I need someone to play couch co-op with at all. All of my friends have become COVID recluses who don't want to go to anyone's houses or vice versa. Then again I also live in one of those northern utopias where people dutifully pass in like an eight-foot semicircle around you on the sidewalk, so...

    Best phone games?

    Late to this thread. If anyone is still needing advice on mobile games, is an RPG-thusiast, and wants to play some things that don't really exist on non-phone systems, I recommend: -Final Fantasy Dimensions: The first one, don't know about any spinoffs. This is a high-quality FF even though...

    Just ordered the survival food crate I linked above, will report back in a few weeks when it gets here on whether or not it's worth it. On paper it definitely looks worth it, we'll see.

    I don't mind games with slow starts. I used to. Took me years to get into Dragon Quest VII, which has several hours of game/story before you even get to fight any battles. Now, though, I'm okay with that kind of thing. Looking forward to playing as the hawt blue-haired girl. Do you play as her...

    EQ a couple times a week. Other than that, hoo boy. I'm accumulating quite a backlog of things I want to check out at this point. I just finished a Platinum Crusade of sorts where I went back and platinumed God of War 1, 2, 3, Chains of Olympus HD, Ghost of Sparta HD, and Ascension. Then I went...

    That could work, I'll look into it. Squeezing 7+8 in before 9 should be doable timewise, going to give it a shot.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising

    Played about half of this when it came out, gonna swing around and do the rest this week. Like others have said it gets pretty repetitive and easy so I'm going to speed through the rest just to knock it off the list. It's a pretty fun game and on PS5 there aren't a ton of choices yet for new...

    Demon’s Souls Remake (PS5)

    It's funny how the easiest world (World 2) is the one with the hardest bosses. Sort of. DG is easy once you know the puzzle, and Armor Spider is only difficult for beginners. Flamelurker however gave me the most trouble of any boss even on the latest run. Edit: Also, World 4 and 5 are the...

    I just grabbed Ys 8 on PSN, it's on a really good sale. Unfortunately for Ys 7 I'll need to jump through some hoops to play it (either find a PSP or get a PSP emulator). Wish it had a console port like all of the others.

    https://products.4patriots.com/food/4week/good-for-25-years Anyone have any experience with this company? Looks like a pretty good value. Problem is, it looks too good. I might get one and let everyone know how it is if no one knows.

    The Thing (1982)

    Yeah, he did a lot of things. I'm just spotlighting The Hateful Eight because it has other Thing inspirations behind it as well and is very worth seeing for Thing fans.

    Cobra Kai

    I'm still on Season 2 so far, great show. Is it bad that I think that the daughter and the rival (Peyton List) are both really hot, especially when they face off, even though I'm like 15 years older than they are? And is it bad that I'm hoping that eventually they'll put aside their differences...

    So with Ys IX on the way in a few weeks I was thinking about picking it up at launch. Have a few questions about the other Ys games in the meantime. -I've played Ys 6 and the remakes of Ys 1-3. Someday I'd like to go back and emulate the first five in their original, super-hard (at least in 3's...

    The Thing (1982)

    The music really is good, between Morricone and Carpenter. Morricone also did the score for The Hateful Eight, which definitely has a lot of The Thing inspiration and is worth seeing.

    The Thing (1982)

    Yeah, I don't consider any of the comics to be canon. I picked up the Thing video game for OG Xbox (there's also a PS2 version) for like $10 at a flea market a while back. Haven't played it yet because it requires digging the OG Xbox out of storage. It's also a sequel. I'll need to be in the...

    The Thing (1982)

    There was an infected dog un-accounted for? Pretty sure earlier in the movie they mentioned that they'd put down all of the remaining dogs that were exposed, and presumably torched them. We don't see it because we don't need to see that, but it's mentioned. I think.

    The Thing (1982)

    The speculation about Childs (and the ending in general) is the main reason I still talk about the movie with people decades later. I love that it doesn't have a happy or neat conclusion where everyone turns out fine. Personally I'm 50/50 on Childs' identity at the end of the movie. The breath...
