    I got both; the Anthology and the Final Cut were just on sale for dirt cheap 90/95% a few weeks ago and I picked them up for almost nothing, I think less than 10 dollars total. Victor Vran Overkill Edition was still 35ish bucks on greymarket, so I just got it on Steam for ~40.

    I was thinking about picking this up as well. Will do so now at the first opportunity. Edit: Wait, Van Helsing or Victor Vran? I have hit ARPG Alliterative overload. I picked them both up today just to be sure, even though the Victor Vran was a little pricey even from G2A/Enema, etc.

    I have a played a Pysker through the main campaign and now doing a second Crusader as a melee. Really enjoy the game so far, way more than Diablo 4 TBH. I mean, the moment to moment gameplay of D4 is great but there is so much poor design backed into the rest of D4, itemization, end game/lack...

    Suicide Squad... the next "Arkham" game

    I think it was Champions Online that I preordered, played the Pre-Order Launch weekend, it was a great game, powers felt great, you really felt super, and somehow after two closed betas and an open one on Retail Launch day they dropped a HUGE nerf patch that wrecked so many builds, powers, and...

    Total War: Warhammer

    That is a long survey, Tip: Need to read all of the questions carefully. Some of the "Have you heard about this thing?" included fake/non-existent franchises to try to trip you up, or at least mine did.

    I remember when it was boring old Kithicor, empty and buffer-zone-ish. Then that Halloween everything changed.

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    I know who *I* think its targeting or who it was targeting (the Former Campea/Collider crowd) but I would love to know who *they* are intending to target. I guess it applies to lot of folks, many more who are outside of my sphere of observation, and maybe some within. "COMSUME MORE PRODUCT".

    I picked this up after I got sick of Diablo 4 and have been really enjoying it. They announced there will be no more seasons, so the game is "Complete" but now you can pick the season you want to play IIRC, so FYI, do what you want, Caveat emptor etc etc. for 90% off its a good deal, I think. I...

    Suicide Squad... the next "Arkham" game

    So many WTFs here: GaaS? Forget playing as bad guys, just how many Justice League Members are there to kill? DRM, and then DeNuvo of all DRMs? It probably wasn't THAT bad of an idea when the project launched in 2017? but in 2024, holy shit this is a studio killer.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    They are trying to put genies back into bottles and don't care their itemization is still fucked. "Itemization fix now delayed until Season 16 so shareholders think that we know what we are doing. Massive Nerfs however will continue." Fuck Blizzard and this game in particular.

    True Detective

    Something that doesn't get mentioned enough is that Picazooloota is from Lake Charles, LA, and knows Louisiana; he knows the terrain and the people, the kind of people who live there. I think you are exactly right about the time he took and the time he needed. I think that S2 has the elements...

    I have all of them but the consoles offer huge value if you don't want to mess with building PCs. I was there for a long time and even though have been building PCs since the early 90s I am tired of jacking with them. I have Microcenter build them for me now, its worth the time to get get the...

    Reacher

    A better term would have been "believable", as in possible. Keanu trained in 3 gun for months and could perform on the range really well. The rest of movies gave up on believability and made him a superhero, as everyone noted.

    Rebel Moon (2023)

    Even if you strip it down to its barest elements, Farm Planet/Escaped Solider->threatening Empire->price to be paid-> recruit help-> recruit 1/recruit 2/recruit 3/.../finale, why would you do this as two movies and not a series? It seems like it would be easier to get to 6/8 one hours than it...

    Reacher

    Feels like they are trying to stretch this out, too little butter over too much bread. I am only guessing but I bet they weren't trying to save NYPD man because he is going to be Plot Armored in the Next Episode, so he lives with No Effort™ at all. Totally useless sexless sex scene. They...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    We are talking about two different things; I am talking about the art of acting, the ability to inhabit a character and elicit from the audience, either in person or on film, an emotional response. It seems like its easy because we see so much of it but if you have ever tried it, to do it...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Didn't this assclown crew also fuck up the CJ Stroud roughing the passer call that put him in the Concussion protocol while the Texans had a glimmer of playoff hopes this year? I thought I read that somewhere but may be conflating it with the Fields hit as well.

    You can find the tweet, they have pics of him lined up in the same position as the play in question multiple times throughout the game. Its buried now somewhere in my timeline but I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to find from any regular internet search. They only flagged him when it...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    This is an all-time bad call, I mean, on the level of the mugging the Rams Defender gave to the Saints in that famous No-Call, or University of Michigan's famous 5 downs, but to call back a successful two point conversion because the Ref got the wrong guy checking in as eligible? Legend. I...

    They gave it to my wife when she hurt her back and my MIL when she broke her collarbone in a car accident. In the US the FDA have clamped down so hard on opioids cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers are killing themselves because they can't get relief. Ketamine is one of the alternatives...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    There are lots of jobs where I think, "I could do/could have done that"; Acting is one of those artistic skills that when someone does it really well, when they really disappear into the role (not DeNiro's version of whatever, which can still be compelling and great, mind you) I am amazingly...

    I just spent too much catching up on Eu4 and Stellaris DLC, as well as Everspace 2. I had a 1000+ hours of EU4 10 years ago. I guess I will finally bite the bullet and relearn the game from the ground up rather than just starting a new game, bitching about it and stopping.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Its a checkbox from 2015; the whole MSQ is a holdover back when Multiverses were cool and this "ring the bell" quest to get powers checked the box and providing no challenge was considered OK. The whole MSQ just felt like the NG+ and the big M. Night reveal were expected to cover up for the...

    I enjoyed my time with it, too. The game, however, didn't come together well. I would buy the story of a ton of stuff being cut; MS pushing them back a 10 months to polish but sclerosis at the top keeps them from pulling things together well enough to close the gaps they had, ala the elevator...

    Immersive sims? What kind of world are you living in where you think Skyrim is a SIM? Other than being loaded with tons of junk items and some basic NPC schedules, this is mind blowing for you to say. You can literally run forever as long as you don't sprint. Starfield is not missing a core...

    Who said its a space exploration game? Was Mass Effect a space exploration game? I won't disagree that the procedural planets aren't great, in that there is always the same kind of things to find but that is a matter of variety and quantity. They need more hand-crafted content in the...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Way too much Chani seemingly speaking out against Paul/Bene Gesserit "Way" in the 3rd trailer; I guess they have her trying to save Paul from becoming the Mahdi? Way too much Zendaya in the trailers altogether. Super excited for the movie, though, and the inevitable supercut extended version.

    Ugh, I sold cars for a while and got a car phone to enable me to call customers on the way home to "follow up". I thought it would impress them and probably did sell a car or two in 1994. Any money it made me was wiped out when my first wife treated it like a mobile phone and talked for like...
