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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't know if my viewpoint on this is a common one, but I like the injections of real world into FF games. Not like, the cell phones and cars from the last couple games, that's ass I mean like, the injections of "higher technology used to exist in the world before the last collapse" because...

For me, I'm gonna guess that I had the most deaths on Starscourge Radahn. Fire Giant is probably 2nd place. The Fallingstar Beast in the mines, Godrick in Stormveil, Draconic Tree Sentinel, Margit, and Malenia also all have a bunch of deaths. I one or two shotted most of the other fights in the...

Getting this some time this afternoon and probably gonna be home playing it by 4 PM or so. Who else is rolling with this game?

Seriously though I do feel your pain. I've told the story a few times on here of how I nearly gave up on Bloodborne on day one, then it became my game of the decade a week later. I've watched a lot of people tap out on Fromsoft games and I know a lot of them will be super-into these games if...

get gud, frigate

I'm down

Finally got around to watching Snyder version. I'm halfway through (watching the blu-ray) and I really like it. Feels like the "lesser" characters got way more development than before. I don't remember Whedon JL well enough to compare, but from what little I do remember, this feels like a...

Couple things: My main issue with this is running out of health. Is there a reliable way to stay healed rather than slowly being whittled down? Is the only alternative just "don't get hit"? I think you can sleep in the ship to heal, but you can only do that once per cycle IIRC so that doesn't...

Just watched this. I've never had a problem with The Thing and the completely grotesque shit that happens in that movie, but some of the stuff later on in this one made me want to just get to the end because it got depressing. It was a pretty good movie though. Reminded me a LOT of...

The first S&S was insanely good, actually went all the way through it and platinumed it. The black triangular two-handed sword (can't remember what it was called) really carries you once you get it. Only thing I didn't like was that I missed one thing for the platinum and it happened to be...

Found the image I planted in the first room that has gotten me numerous heals. I expected it to have a lot more than 176 likes given how many heals I seemed to get (one boss fight had 3 appraisals in it IIRC). And 19 dislikes, in a game brimming with troll messages? Hell I've seen fake "hidden...

Let's see Classic/Kunark together - Very good Velious/Luclin together - Very good, can go right into AAs and Velious will still get some use, just not nearly as much, and mainly by B-tier raiders. PoP/LoY/LDoN together - Good, if only because it'll save some time. I assume LoY would buck the...

Generally good changes, not too thrilled about mimic nerf though. Used mimic in one fight post patch (Commander Niall) and she basically stood around in the middle of the field confusedly for the whole fight. Might be because there were adds around the perimeter. Weird that Tiche didn't get...

Update, I was farming some exp and waiting to get summoned to help people with endgame bosses (unfortunately, every time I got summoned, the host would die to something stupid on the way to the bosses...every goddamn time). Also had the blue ring activated to get summoned to help people with...

What's the difference between Tarnished's Furled Finger, Duelist's Furled Finger, and Small Golden Effigy? I've been using the SGE for the entire game to get summoned and help people out, just now looking at the other two and they all have similar descriptions. Same with Recusant Finger and...

Found something fun. Go west of the Sellia Hideaway cave and use that horse mega-jump whirlwind to land on top of the giant skull, there is a bunch of loot up there.

Wait, is Kerafyrm in this? I was looking through the expansions and it looks like Kerafyrm is the bad guy of the Tears of Veeshan expansion? I didn't know he ever did anything outside of EQ1, specifically Velious and SOF. Found this screenshot. If that's him, he looks like a regular dragon...

Anyone know what these two islands are? Both appear to have locations on them. I'm guessing one of them is the intro level that you can warp back to. Wondering if the other is something I missed.

I'm half awake right now so this may be a dumb question, ashes are the L2 abilities right? Best one I found for a mimic to use is the Rivers of Blood weapon. Spam the L2 and the mimic also spams the L2, which results in a bunch of bleed procs until you run out of FP.

Yeah, I think I said "TSS server with FV rules" earlier. Could even go beyond that, like all items usable at level 1, to give it more of a Mischief-like hook.

Reusing art assets has certainly kept EQ going. Most new expansions only have, what, 3 or 4 new models? They've gotten a ton of mileage out of Planes of Power and reusing those zones/mobs, to say the least. WoW being around for four more expansions (or 10-ish years) is well within the realm of...

I disagree, but you're probably right. And that's depressing, because they don't know what they're missing out on. TSS has a few things in common with Kunark and Velious in terms of design elements (Ashengate is basically a new Temple of Veeshan, for example). It's kinda too bad it isn't the...

51. However, all the good AAs are at 55 or 59. A level 51 with maxed-out AAs would have like, 10 more resists and Run 3.

That's pretty funny, but I like the idea of challenges like this. A server where no mobs over level 30 spawn until Nagafen and Vox are defeated, challenging players to do it at like level 35. Or a Kunark server where nothing spawns until Trakanon is defeated, forcing everyone to do that at level...

If they want to increase the amount of players who stick around, a TSS start is the way to go. The population has several major die-off points and the biggest is the level 70 era. GoD is another one, but a lot of that is having LDoN as a lead-in, and GoD->OoW itself is a decent era. However...

Torrent dissipates if you press L3 down, which is very easy to do. Before I realized this, he would often poof at really inopportune moments and I didn't know what was going on. As for the ferryman boss, just play aggressively and stay close to him, wait for his big slam attack and dodge around...

I never had much trouble with Kalameet considering how often I see him mentioned like this. His breath attacks in particular leave him wide open for melee damage. Malenia is definitely the fight I had the most trouble with in ER, followed by Radahn. I'd put it up there with Orphan for sure...

I know Kamala Khan pre-dates anybody knowing who Kamala Harris is, but I expect a lot of people will think Marvel named her after Harris. Hell I bet a lot of people think Harris is a Muslim. Nobody even seems to know she's half Indian. Maybe this'll help prop her up over that big goal of...

Oh, I think Kingdom of Sky was what I saw, not Desert of Flames. Or maybe it was both. I think Kunark was also out cause I was an iksar. I think Echoes of Faydwer had either just come out or was about to.

Is this game ever gonna get a TLP? Does it even need a TLP? Seems like it has a ton of players, and you only really need a TLP once population dwindles to the point that people aren't doing mid-game content.

I need to revise my Kerafyrm event server idea a bit. Would the Sleeper even be killable in Velious-era? Probably if you threw 600 bodies at it and chain rezzed but that'd be kinda dumb. I guess make the Kerafyrm server lock at Luclin or PoP? Only major thing about this server is that the...

Looks more like the Angel of Cardiac Arrest. ...I'll show myself out.
