Resuming Nioh 1 (again) for the third (fourth?) time. This time I mean it, since I'm coming off of Sekiro. And yeah it's difficult to just pick it back up and have any idea what I'm doing. A few things: -On the second area, I think. It's a green wooded area with a lot of torch guys wandering...

Any ideas on this sky-light shining beams back at people? ...or the freakish lizard-eyed reporter right after that?

Yarp. I'll maintain to this day that Highlander: The Source is somehow even worse than this one, but it could go either way. The Source hurts more for series fans, HL2 hurts more for HL1 fans. I thought HL3 was passable and Endgame was actually decent. I think they had the right idea with...

Chapter 14 is a good time to stop and do the DLC. It takes place at about the same time as Chapter 13 or so IIRC, and it's two chapters. The side quests are alright. But yeah there isn't much point unless you want to do everything and it sounds like that isn't your objective here. Know what...

Yeah, they definitely called the demise of the ozone layer.

Sekiro platinum done. This was the one From game where the plat wasn't entirely worth it, due to the "all skills" trophy. I didn't have an issue with having to grind for it at the end (even though I only did two runs of the game and save scummed all the endings). The problem was not being able...

I sat next to an incredibly gorgeous woman on a flight to Charlotte NC a couple years ago. For like 3 hours neither of us said anything, then in the last few minutes of the flight I struck up a conversation and she was super nice. Pretty sure she was an Instagram star or something because...

I just completely avoided them after the first time I ran into one and got instakilled by Terror just from...breathing the air I guess? Like I don't even know what the hell hit me. So I popped back up when it was safe and ran off and never bothered with them until... right before Sword Saint at...

I have fond memories of the Tifa portion of that EGM picture, given that I was like 13 at the time. And yep. I was coming off of Chrono Trigger where the bad guy joins you midway through to take on the bigger bad guy, so I expected that kind of thing. I was under the impression that the Shinra...

I assume the Peters Projection Map is vastly more accurate, but it kinda feels like (from this clip and everywhere else it's brought up) that a lot of people like it not because it's accurate, but because it has a GIANT AFRICA. Their smugness about it really gives it away.

It just looks that way on maps because it gets stretched out due to occupying the southernmost part of the Earth (and thus pointing towards everything else, if that makes any sense). Our maps are pretty awful at showing true proportions and perspectives. Most maps still have Siberia, Canada...

This is a good one. I liked the ongoing Tartarus side-dungeon that you've got kinda going on in the background for the whole game. Definitely spent the most time in that part back in 2008.

Beat the game late last night. Man, that was a good time. Going for the platinum next of course. Here's what everything took in terms of tries. Yes, Owl Father fell quicker than Owl Shinobi. Nowhere near as tough as I expected it to be in my mind, but definitely tough. The top 5 fights were the...

@Regime is that you?

Well, it predicted one part right...

There's also that. Not sure why this game doesn't include the female protag from the PSP port, or the game-sized "The Answer" expansion from the FES version. Not sure why I even like Persona games. The whole Persona system is interesting, the battle system is very solid, and the general...

Reached Sword Saint Isshin, last thing to beat the game. All other bosses and minibosses down. Would I be better off bringing 2x Rice or 1x Fine Snow to this? Fine Snow seems to do like 2x the heal per tick, but Rice does okay if I back off a bit and let it work, and two of those means twice...

Oh I didn't buy this, I grabbed it at the library just to check it out for a little while. Game plays great, but the initial onslaught of woke dogshit as soon as you start the game ensured that I'm not gonna do anything else with it. I am curious as to why most of the trans stuff is on the...

Kind of rustled that this remake still has the characters all shooting themselves in the head to cast spells and do special attacks. So you watch them shoot themselves in the head 5-10 times per battle. It gets real old and it kinda sucks to look at for people who have lost friends to suicide...

Oh man, you're lucky you get to play these for the first time. Yakuza 0 is awesome and still my favorite. Yakuza Kiwami continues that story to a pretty satisfying conclusion. Then Kiwami 2 looks incredible and has a great villain. I liked those first 3 the most. The rest all kinda do their own...

Wow, fuck Walmart. @Cad This has to be a wrongful termination lawsuit, "code of conduct" be damned, am I wrong?

Jesus. I should tell my mom about the remote computer thing too. She doesn't know any of this. Yes the rustle is the made up name. Yes she has Norton. Yes I've told her she doesn't need it. Not sure how they would know that she has it unless Norton sold her number.

My latest conundrum: My mom's dentist's receptionist is this gorgeous Brazilian girl, probably about 24-26 (so well over a decade my junior, not that it matters much 'cause everybody thinks I'm 28-30ish anyway until they find out otherwise). We had such a good rapport the two times I ever met...

What worked for me back when I bothered with that crap: Take things offline as quickly as possible. Slow burns and romance are fuckin' dead and buried, at least on those apps. Send something funny as the first message that they might actually read/respond to (a question is good), then when you...

Simon's Theme, IIRC, which appears in all the Castlevanias but I think this is my favorite version of it (PS1 CV remake). Especially considering the stage before this is incredibly hard, so when you reach this final section the music is ultra-triumphant and pumps you up.

Ys 3's final battle theme is one of the best battle themes I've ever heard in a game. Here it is evolving over the zillion versions of Ys 3 on various systems with various sound chips...

If this is the track I'm thinking of, it's the only time a game has made me emotional in a long time now. Edit: It actually isn't the one I'm thinking of. Here's the part that got me emotional:

Yeah they really do look awful. Lily is like the only attractive female character. Is this a dude or a chick? I honestly have no goddamn idea. Pretty sure "Marisa" is a chick They turned Ken into a depressed homeless man, nice Well, at least Cammy still looks really hot Until I see her...

Tried this game out, first thing I see is this purple-clad tranny announcer. Can't even play a basic arcade mode without registering a Capcom ID or something, says "add-on content not found" whatever that means, maybe arcade mode is DLC IDK Also I hate most of the outfits WTF happened

The Deus Ex series kinda fell apart later on anyway. There was the weird mobile game, and then I found Mankind Divided to be very unenjoyable for some reason. Possible I just played it wrong though, who knows.

Yeah, Prometheus had an alternate script that was better. Terminator Salvation also had a (mostly) better alternate script that actually had laser guns (wielded by primitive T-400s) and proto HK tanks. Except it got super-weird in the final act with an HK pursuing JC through some sort of posh...

The way Indian scammers with thick Indian accents always have a super-American name. My mom got a call from "Mike Smith" with a thick Indian accent from Norton Antivirus Tech Support asking if she bought something and then offering a $200 refund when the answer was no. She got partway through...

Wouldn't it be better to play MW1 Remastered? Unless they messed something up / censored it? I'm guessing WAW is a WW2 game, and if it's a similar level to the later CoD: WW2 game I'm down. Release order is a good idea, unless the MW or BO trilogies each follow a narrative thread between them...

I think they kind of combined some brawler aspects with RPG aspects in this one. Which is fitting because they combined the Kiryu series with the Ichiban series. LAD Gaiden is basically Yakuza 7.1, what Kiryu was doing during Yakuza 7. I definitely recommend playing it first, especially if you...

What's the best way to play Modern Warfare (the original trilogy, not the new ones) at this point? -Modern Warfare 1 Remastered on PS4 is the best way to play that one AFAIK? -Modern Warfare 3 hasn't had any kind of remaster so I'd need to play that on PS3? Or wait a while to see if they put...

Yakuza 8 is out. Looks pretty awesome, almost like a modern Earthbound.

Yup. I loved World of Warcraft growing up (though I fell out a bit once I realized the game was so easy that I could run into a pack of 4+ mobs and AOE them down before I died, facetanking them all the while, as a MAGE, circa WOTLK) Tried "catching up" a couple years ago, barely got through BFA...

It was over seven years ago so my memory was off on certain specifics. Edited the post to admit its wrongness.

Looked it up. Damn, I was wrong about the bum leg. I should double check things before I call out media outlets for not double checking things. I definitely saw "Parkinsons" mentioned in news chyrons about the reporter at the time, so that might have been the initial knee-jerk reaction by those...
