I'd love to find a way to reliably emulate all of the Armored Core games. The PS1 trilogy are probably doable, but even that's iffy because you really need to carry saves over from one to the next to have a chance in 2 and 3. Everything after that is PS2 and 3 which suck to emulate. And those...

I love me some Ana de Armas. Her, Johansson, and Daddario are pretty much alone on what I consider "goddess tier" actresses visually. Though Daddario has been brought down quite a bit by being in so many goofy romantic comedies.

Yeah it's really annoying how that's become a trend, drawing out stories over two movies. Harry Potter did it successfully so everyone else wanted to do it. Mockingjay didn't need it, Hobbit sure as hell didn't need it (could have easily been two movies). IW/Endgame was at least justified...

I'll say this though, it's pretty cool that this PR remaster has gotten people into the old FFs again. A few people I know are playing them for the first time in ages right now and talking shop with me. Even seeing a resurgence of people interested in FF3 3D and FF4 3D, or the PSP one with After...

The impression I get is that Skyrim's main advantage was the graphical enhancements and atmosphere, but Morrowind was the superior game. With all of the mods it has, Morrowind at this point probably looks just about as good as Skyrim does. So is it safe to say that in 2023 Morrowind is the...

Yeh. Back in January/February we had the biggest foreign policy scandal in over a decade (Nordstream), the Epstein flight log names were outed, Twitter was exposed as being completely corrupt and underwritten by US government and intel agencies, and the largest chemical disaster in US history...

There are so many versions of FF4 at this point that you can't take any information from the internet as gospel unless it specifies which version it pertains to. Each of these has a variety of differences at this point in mechanics, spell effectiveness, stat effectiveness, drop rates, and even...

FF4 is full of little tricks like that, which make the game pretty fast/easy when you know them. Depending on the version (since there are so many versions of FF4 now), Wall/Reflect can also wear off before Bahamut uses Meganuke. If you start the fight by putting Wall on everyone, it'll poof by...

Right. Race doesn't matter much in biological attractiveness, and if it did the world wouldn't be full of mixed race people going back hundreds of years. For a long time peoples were generally racially homogenous, but it wasn't because of antipathy towards other races, it was because of lack of...

@Seananigans Have you platinumed all of the first four PRs now? Pretty sure you've at least beaten them. What's other people's progression status on FFs beaten and/or platinumed (if Playstation) so far?

In the middle of watching this. Great concept, but kind of devolves into full-on slapstick "people on drugs would enjoy this" type humor before long. Also getting major "people who wrote this think they're smarter than they actually are" vibes. Lots of Marvel-style whiplash between sappy and...

FF4 3D has got potential for sure. I like that it has New Game Plus and pushes the game to new levels for people who want to get the most out of it. It'd probably kick the ass of the average person who just wanted to revisit FF4 and hadn't played it since the SNES version in the 90's though...

They have to be done in instances, no OW kills for some reason. So no mercs. Might be able to do the 40 and 50 cheevos with a few boxed characters and high-level logistical support (if it lets you) but I dunno if I'd bother.

Yeah I'll start over and do this later. I guess I'll need to follow an augment guide to make sure I don't miss anything crucial because I didn't talk to the right stripper townsperson in a pond somewhere. All the augment guides seem to be for the DS version rather than the other versions...

I could get a second Dualcast on NG++ in theory. Missing one on NG just means NG will be harder than it needs to be cause I can't drop any double Meteos. F this version of FF4, seriously, lot of "what were they thinking". Good ideas, poor execution. Guess I'll start over, that was 4-5 hours...

Found a good grind: Paladin Cecil by himself on Mt Ordeals. Get Paladin gear from Mysidia, equip Counter augment, turn up battle speed, reap levels since he'll just counter everything to pieces. This should also make most of the later characters jump forward to near Cecil's level (except Edge...

Sounds like poison damage to the party is nerfed in the PR.

Nah phone is good for me. Is it subpar? Yeah, but I'll get through it a lot sooner. On PC it competes against everything else I have on home console and probably gets dumped after a bit because it's such a patience-taxing game. FF5 started, did the first hour and a half. In the earlier ones I...

With "hard mode" instances factored in... 16x Korafax and 16x Tower per week! I like Muramites and those zones more than probably anybody else here and I wouldn't touch that raid schedule with someone else's dick.

I feel like poison (the status effect) was never good in FF4. Bio is very good in FF3 (as a damage spell due to its general neutrality) but it kinda got nerfed for 4, and the actual poison status effect seems to barely work. First time I remember poison actually doing any appreciable damage...

FF4 done, 15 hours. Getting level 99 in this is very quick compared to FF3. Also five Adamant Armors which wasn't bad either given buyable Sirens and the better drop rate calculations: Took about 50 Sirens to get the first four tails, then around 40 to get the last one which was a bit...

Any opinions on Omaha Steaks? I did two or three orders from them over the last couple of years. Full orders, the $200 ones where you get enough stuff to fill half a freezer (more if you leave things in their boxes). I found their steaks to be really good, particularly the filet mignon and the...

That's super messed-up. No wonder people don't like Bethesda. And to think I used to defend them just 'cause I like some of their games. Which reminds me, I need to play Morrowind one of these years. Got it for XBox in like 2006 in a bargain bin, never got going with it because of the obscene...

Lawl, ain't nobody on that server as it is hardcore enough to do any of this stuff. It'd take an AoS vs OGC type "go for the throat" battle with the same kind of people to make that kind of effort. Oakwynd will have a hot launch from people trying it and within a week it'll be a substandard...

This'll be good. Pretty sure Future President Snow's diverse girlfriend is going to get killed, cause he's gotta turn evil somehow. So the movie will have something for everyone.

If we did get a Dredd 2, who should play Judge Death? And what about Judge Rico? WE JUST GONNA SKIP JUDGE RICO?

All the stuff I watched the last couple weeks. Edit: Lowered a few of these ratings because I was way too generous the other day. The Killing Joke - This was basically two episodes of Batman: The Animated Series put together, or at least that's how it felt. The first half was "Batgirl The...

So this is a villain origin story about the younger version of President Donald Sutherland? Could be interesting, I guess. Villain origin stories can be good. That "diversity casting" chick people are moaning about is hot. I can't even tell what ethnicity she is, could be from a bunch of...

Do it. Each one will be faster. 8 different classes for variety, or just Mage/Monk on loop to get it done faster? All the bonuses poofing when a new expansion comes out is so dumb and renders the whole thing pointless outside of a personal challenge like this.

I've beaten FF3 on the NES multiple times at middling levels, I know the terror of it. The fact that the boss just spams it is pretty obnoxious. And woe to people who are coming off of clearing the whole dungeon(s) with autosave. The "final dungeon" is basically four dungeons in a row, but you...

Man, finally done with FF3. Got the platinum at about 17 hours. Rest was maxing out levels, which even cranked up to x4 exp took way too long. Not sure why high levels in FF3 take so much longer than the others. No one even got 9999 HP! I kinda regret bothering to do the level-maxing but at...

Fromsoft is really good at promising nothing and wildly overdelivering.

Yeah those 3 groups are the worthwhile ones on TLP. I also like people from all 3

Yeah I looked stuff up for sure. Once I spent a couple hours trying to find a second Rope I was pretty much doneski. It isn't 1997 anymore when I can spend weeks / dozens of hours on a single retro game. In other news, got some new ones: These two (and the two Fallouts) would be perfect for...

Done with FF3 and 4 pretty much, maybe have another hour of each. 17 hours on FF3 and 15 on FF4 to get the plats. The first two barely broke 10 hours so they're stepping up. Final party in FF3 was Ninja x2 / Sage x2 but I think I would have been better off with Ninja x3 and a Devout. FF3 takes...

Yeah that's pretty shitty. I live next to a great big river with walking paths and whatnot, and the river is full of swans and ducks that go onto land and walk around in the grass near the trails. They chill with people and are just generally cool. I've always been worried that one day some...

This reminds me of Dyatlov Pass. People with missing tongues and eyes, yet no signs of struggle or foul play. They should probably check these cows with a geiger counter and see if there's radiation on them like the Dyatlov corpses. If other scavengers were steering clear of the corpses, maybe...

I think these craft/drones/etc are a lot like Global Warming. Our politicians don't really know how to grasp the issue or make sense of it, much less actually do anything about it. So for the most part they're just looking for ways to grift off of it while making the peasants think that they...

The AEW International Title is intended to be like the old WWF Intercontinental Title in that it's the "workhorse" title held by guys who can go and who are in theory on their way to the main event. TNT Title was originally supposed to be defended every week (so a television title) but that...

Legacy and Atlantica will be the guilds with some longevity that do decently well. Particularly Atlantica due to cornering the Euro market. Rosengard III hung in there on Phinny right up until OGC was the last standing. OGRE will be the batphone guild that could be dominant but is just as...
