    The Katie Katro Thread

    Where's the "Truth" option on this thread? Cause I'm guessing mid-40's is everything you say it is. Oldest woman I've ever dated was 39 and she was already a walking mass of complexes. Pretty nice 'bod though, took care of herself. Had spent 30's not dating and "focusing on career" and all of...

    Anyone know what the deal is with how old WWF/E shows, up until 2020 anyway, used to have these constant full-screen flashes? WCW had them too but only in shows from 2000 I think. No other company (ECW, TNA, AEW) has them. I don't think they're from camera flashes, they're more like full-arena...

    Code Vein

    Finally got into this. Wow, this is totally a Souls game, from the world design to the combat to the button mapping...mostly. I had to move the attacks to R1/R2. You can really see the difference between a Soulsborne game made by From and one made by a different dev, but I think these devs got...

    Metroid Dread

    Any insights on the final boss? Tried it a bunch this evening, got murdered. I wish I could re-configure the dash/blink ability to a shoulder button instead of A, so awkward to use.

    What are you playing?

    Metroid Dread. Struggling with the final boss. After that: Code Vein, Bloodstained ROTN, Aliens Fireteam, Hades, Far Cry 6. Not sure what order, or if I'll bounce between them. Also need to finish up with Dragon Quest 6 phone remake, about 75% done. After that, Pokemon Gen 4 remake, Nioh1+2...

    Dark Souls

    Is this from Demons, Dark, or Dark 3? I'm always itching for more 6th Archstone potential content. I wonder why it is that cut content from games intrigues me so much more than what actually made it into the game. Secret boss that's hard to find? Cool, but what I'm really into is this other...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Never played either. This or Hades?? ::looks at recent posts:: Uhh Well, Blizzard definitely has problems in 2021. Suffice to say I was gonna get Hades, but now I'm wondering if I'd have a better time with D2.

    Metroid Dread

    I'd just get it if you're a Metroid fan. What I do is sell games that I'm done with, or won't play again for a long time. So if I buy something like this new, it's with the knowledge that I'll get back 90% of what I spent on it in a few weeks. It could have an MSRP of $120 and it wouldn't...

    I bet Dread's sales will be half of what they should have been, in part because of Kotaku and PC Gamer doing this shit. Video is ReviewTechUSA, not Kotaku

    This Rampage is basically a mini-PPV since it's competing with Smackdown. I think TK should have kept his mouth shut about beating Smackdown though. Tout your wins after you actually win them. If I were him I'd focus on the fact that they're beating the pants off of RAW in ticket sales in Long...

    Metroid Dread

    All of these address problems I've had too. Got stuck 2 or 3 times in the game and every time it was because I missed one particular block that was the only way forward. Also all of those times would have been avoided if I got into the habit of just blasting everything. Best advice I can give...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    If one of them is a first-run Switch (the hackable one), Ebay it instead of trading it in. It'll almost pay for the OLED by itself as I understand it.

    Metroid Dread

    I defeated the flying bug after a bunch more tries. Main issue was it chunking a full energy tank off of you per hit. Then things got moving again until minutes later when I ran into Ornstein and Smough. That fight was also obnoxious and took a few tries, but I did it. Got the armor upgrade that...

    Yeah, the tentacle hentai boss didn't make much sense until I noticed there were switches on the walls. I'll give the big flying insect another shot tonight, took a break from the game today after a few losses to that boss last night. I'm sure it's doable, but I've also read that it's the...

    That's what I figure too, but I cancelled it in case. I'll find a local one whenever there are any, will save around $50 that way anyway.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I noticed Tyranny came out November 10th 2016. Wonder if the developers were saying something political. Carrion is another game where you play as the "villain", though it isn't a CRPG, it's more of a Metroidvania. Fans of John Carpenter's The Thing might want to check it out since it's...

    AEW doing a great job helping GCW become the next ECW by featuring them and sending talent over etc. And more than that, GCW doing a great job becoming the new ECW by putting on stuff like this and gaining the word of mouth. I'm digging Moxley's work lately. Yeah, there are a lot of Austin...

    Almost done with this and it's a bit too much like Samus Returns for me. I wish it played more like Super/Zero/AM2R. For example lategame bosses take off like an energy tank in one hit with some attacks. The boss I'm on now is some weird bee thing that has almost no openings to actually damage...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    What about Deadfire, any OP class for that one? I'd kinda like to play a Necro in some of these. I hear Warrior/Rogue hybrid dominates in some of the older CRPGs.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    All this Tides of Numenera hatin' is difficult to hear because that was probably the first modern CRPG that caught my eye. Back in the late 90's I remember being really interested in Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, but I was busy with console RPGs and then EQ. It wasn't until 2017 or so when I...

    If there's no way to change regions on the eshop, I'll just return it to Amazon. Probably eat a restocking fee though. Could still cancel the shipment if I find one here sooner.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Asked a similar question in the Souls thread, and this is probably the best thread for this question. Any suggestions on an order to play these in? I've got a lot of CRPGs on my radar and no idea where to start. I've started with Pillars 1 but I'm curious which ones are easier/better for...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I like how these games let you pick out your own party and classes from the inn. Dragon Warrior III did that back in the day and it's one of my favorite games, but I haven't seen that much since until I checked out PoE1. Is it fairly standard for CRPGs to give you that kind of party...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    What's wrong with Skyward Sword on the pro controller? I recently got the HD version -and- a pro controller for it. I heard it was a lot easier with the controller than it was originally with the motion controls, which is okay with me. Though back in 2011 I was super-intrigued by the idea of...

    Quake 25th Anniversary Enhanced Edition

    Got this on Switch, kinda wish I'd gotten it on PS5 or PC but whatever. Maybe I'll be glad I got this version once I have a Switch OLED. Always wanted to play this back in the day and never had the chance. I actually thought Id would remake this next like they did with Wolfenstein and Doom, i.e...

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    2 or 3 years out? They'll definitely bring us something from their B-Teams in the meantime. I'm still hoping for a an Assassin's Creed Japan. Ghost of Tsushima kinda ate their lunch already, so they'll need to do something different from that. If GoT is all about samurai, then naturally ACJ...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Probably gonna be the MGS remaster. I'd think it'd be 1-4, since those are all trapped on the PS3. I feel like Sony sees this collection as a huge deal and it's 99% a lock that we'll get it. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and/or a Switch port of Xenoblade X both seem pretty likely...from Nintendo. A...

    I feel like AEW is losing some of their post-signings momentum already. Rampage with CM Punk wrestling is becoming less of a draw by the week and feels like it's only diluting big matches away from Dynamite at the moment. These shows are good and they have a bunch of legit stars, but they're...

    Got the EU OLED on the way, we'll see if it works. I'm pretty sure the device will work with American outlets without issue since Japan has the same standardization, but I'm concerned about porting my account/games over, and whether or not the EShop will be in French or something.

    I just reached the third area so I'm only about 2 or 3 hours in and it still hasn't clicked for me, but I'm sure it will. Things are slow early on with the thermal switches and the EMMIs. EDIT: Daaaaamn, got the Morph Ball and the game seriously opened up after that, having a lot more fun now.

    Japan and the U.S. use the same power cable so I have a feeling it'll just be the normal power cable. Amazon EU doesn't specify, so I don't know if this would be a UK-based Switch, France-based, or something else. They all use different power cables. It'd be a lot easier for them to just use the...

    That is what they'd say if they want the OLED to sell well. Confirming a 4K Switch is on the way would kill OLED sales dead. My local Gamestop told me that whoever doesn't claim their preordered OLED by 8 PM or so relinquishes the guarantee, because the remainder go out into regular stock, so...

    I didn't beat Zero Mission in time, but I did get to Mother Brain. (Which is only like 70% of the way) Somehow managed to get the last copy of Dread Collector's Edition after I had already gotten the regular edition. It was hidden in the back room. Unfortunately I went ahead and opened both...

    Available on here. Runs about $420 after shipping. That isn't too bad when I consider that I would have paid $385 in a store here after tax. So basically for $35 and an extra 9 days wait, you can guarantee yourself one here. Much better than scalpers or trying to deal with US retailers getting...

    Yeah, lot of people are doing it, but I'm gonna pass on pirating. I've got a hackable Switch and no interest in hacking that either. I will admit that the idea of playing it early has appeal, but I didn't wait 18 years for a Fusion sequel just to not vote with my wallet that we want more of these.
