    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Not gonna change your mind, but you're wrong. He's just a quintessential "RPG hero". If FF7 were a normal RPG, Zack (or someone with his personality) would be the protagonist. Cloud is standing in for the traditional protagonist. A poser, if you will. Cloud is more interesting, yes. He's more...

    JRPGs

    Anyone remember Secret of Evermore? I played that game to death in the 90's and I've run it roughly every five years since then. My last one was about 6 years ago but I haven't felt the need to play it again. It got a rebalancing patch in like 2016 that might be worth checking out for people...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    They what?? I agree. There are so many ways to break the game and none of them are remotely necessary. The only time it makes sense to min/max in FF6 is if playing the Advance version, since it has an actual postgame with an uberboss. And even then I wouldn't do it. That uberboss isn't too...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I also felt things at that last part. For me it was more about groups of friends hanging out and then the era comes to an end, whether it's school friends all graduating, or grown-up friends all getting families and kids one by one and sort of sodding off. I've had a few groups like that...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    That's gonna be a tough call. On Switch I could play them on the go, on PS4 they'd have trophies. I think I'll go with PS4. If I wanted to play them on the go I could have done that already and gotten the phone versions. Trophy support for these is really appealing, because I've always wanted...

    Playstation 5

    Glad you mentioned this, my PS Plus sub ran out the day Elden Ring got the multiplayer DLC (lawl) so I couldn't play it. I was gonna re-up that whenever I got around to it and had time to play. Glad I didn't do it last week when it would have cost twice as much.

    Dredd 2 (2027 for Sure This Time!)

    I've never understood Schrodinger's Cat, and I don't now. It isn't existing in both states, it's fuckin' dead, we just haven't seen the body yet. Or maybe it's alive. But it isn't both, except in the sense that a casual observer isn't certain. That applies to anything though...I don't know what...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Jonathan Majors talking about Kang: On what it means to be a villain for a film like this: “Our generation, what we represent, what is a big bad to us? What are our children going to see? What are our partners going to see? What are our leaders going to see? What is it that our zeitgeist, quote...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    After looking into this more... It's looking to me like all of the "sky is falling" DCU talk around the internet was jumping the gun (no pun intended). They didn't say anything about cancelling Man of Steel 2 or Wonder Woman or rebooting everything. They're just figuring out how to go forward...

    How do you deal with someone's suicide?

    You're right. There's a good chance that if we were in touch, I could have helped, since I was the only friend (then boyfriend) who was ever successful at helping her. When we broke things off a few years ago she was in the best state of mind she'd been in for a very long time. She was one of...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I asked this before as a hypothetical for the DLC expansion (BOTB or whatever it ends up being), but now that we have an actual addition to the game I can ask again. What kind of level should I be to get the most out of the arenas? My save file is still sitting here at NG+++ and level 265...

    Alright, I put it on the list. There are only a few things I want that I don't have (this, Timespinner, Crisis Core) so it's pretty high on the list.

    JRPGs

    I'm probably wrong, but Chained Echoes kinda looks/sounds like those OG Lunar games. Those tended to have a few major difficulty spikes too. I remember a bunch of RPGs from the mid to late 90's that had one or several battles in them that were much harder than anything else in the game and...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    That's a big part of communism: Force an agenda pretty much everywhere to create the illusion of consensus. 5% of the population believes something, but if it is pushed often and loudly enough, eventually the perception becomes that 50% of the population believes that (or more). Then it's on us...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    ^Not saying there was anything wrong with Harley Quinn outfits there, worded it kind of wrong. What I'm saying is that HQ is clearly a role model for some reason. Yes, the comparison falls flat. Dwayne is supposed to be a much bigger deal now than Chris Evans was in 2011. He's comparing his...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    A Harley Quinn / Poison Ivy movie could be really good. They had some good rapport in the Animated Series, and anything that draws more elements from that series is fine by me. That show was a great thing to grow up with. The only downside is that after such a movie drops, men aren't gonna be...

    Witcher 3

    I normally play everything on 60 FPS performance mode on PS5 because 30 now looks weird and retro to me. However for this one I'm wondering if I'm missing out by not going for higher quality and ray tracing. This game has great light effects. I dunno, I wish it wasn't even a choice. I went 60...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    All four White Wizards at level 31 with all spells, all that's left is the TOF. Defeated Kary with Fear spam, defeated Kraken by using INV2 four times so all his big attacks missed. Tried using Bane on Tiamat but it never worked, ended up just blasting him with Holy since I had it by then. Very...

    At this point, the 3 ROH PPV matches between FTR and the Briscoes are probably my 3 favorite matches of the year. Been a rough year for AEW and a lot of that was ROH dragging it down, but man does ROH deliver on its rare 2022 PPVs. Looking forward to the two entities being more separate in 2023...

    That kid sneaking on stage is...something alright. The From guys probably assumed he was part of the event and the event guys probably assumed he was the kid of one of the From guys (despite being an entirely different ethnicity). Reminds me of situations where groups would have a big meetup at...

    The Callisto Protocol (Survival Horror)

    So wait, what's the story here with this coming out so close to Dead Space Remake? At first I thought this was an independent studio copying the Dead Space formula and competing with them, but now I find out the guy who made this is the same guy who made the original Dead Space. So does he have...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Yeah, Sabin's scenario is hilariously long compared to the other two. Man, that part of the game made such an impression on me as a kid. I was just fascinated by the environments and music and everything else, especially Narshe. First time I played the game, I got completely stuck at the Narshe...

    Come on, the girl power is fine. She's a lot easier on the eyes than that Zagreus dude. I think it's still an automatic purchase and will probably be just as good as the first.

    So far we have one of six! And it sounded like Miyazaki wanted to announce an Elden Ring expansion while he was on stage, saying that they weren't done with it yet. But he also said he wants to move on to new projects, so I'm wondering if that means no Bloodborne 2. I'd also accept a Bloodborne...

    Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon (FromSoftware)

    I played the first one on PS1 a LOT, the soundtrack was incredible. But then when I replayed it on PS3 there was hardly any music in it. I think the stage music wasn't being recognized or something. I listened to the soundtracks of AC2 and AC3, IIRC AC3's was all sad and emotional like the game...

    "Fix What You Broke" I can smell the Marxism dripping off of this one. I mean Bioshock Infinite was already flirting with seizing the means of production and whatnot. Ah whatever, I'm out of it right now. I hope it's as good as Bioshock.

    Yeah, it's massively (NPI) unimportant. I don't even know why I posted that video except that it had a really hot thumbnail. I don't care what her boobs look like in one scene and I don't really think it's an agenda so much as just "that's how it looks" I don't think FF7 Presents: FF7 Crisis...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Well, that's why I posted the picture. She was busty as a tween or a kid in the flashbacks and they changed it. It's not like this is the first time we're seeing her as a 16 year old and we're complaining that she doesn't have a big rack. In any case, in the grand scheme of things, this is...

    Linked for the thumbnail Looks like Tifa's boobs have been vastly downgraded for Crisis Core. Well, she IS supposed to be a lot younger there, like 16. IDK though, her character model looks pretty terrible from the neck down regardless, even aside from that. Edit - Looks like they were way...

    Yuffie also has some good fanservice and references for Dirge of Cerberus fans. ........well, Dirge of Cerberus players. So I expect DoC to get mixed in with the FF7R canon going forward and for Wutai to be a lot more fleshed-out. Good video, I watched all couple hours of it. Guy totally...

    I'm doing it, I'm playing Four White Mages finally. On NES of course. Marsh Cave and Astos were the parts I was most worried about. Got the unlucky roll of four Piscodemons. I basically spam Ruse on everyone until they've all got two layers of it, then just spam attack for a few minutes and...

    Retro Multiplayer Gaming Night - Gauging Interest for 2023.

    I should probably do stuff like this... dammit I'm in! I don't have any of those old PC games though. I've got like, Warcraft 3 and Elder Scrolls on PC and the rest of what I have is Switch or PS5. So if there are console game days I'll jump in. Feel like Elden Ring might be a good one for that...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I think this arena update is technically a DLC, yes. However it isn't a "DLC expansion" in the way people usually think of them when you say DLC, ala Ashes of Ariandel and The Ringed City. So that's probably why the difference of opinions. This is a nice DLC update but we're still waiting for...

    Yeah, I agree. I like Fire Emblem 3 through 8, but 8 is a notable step down. I think they reached their apex with 6 and 7, maybe. I didn't play too much of 4 though and I hear that one is another high point.

    How do you deal with someone's suicide?

    A new spin on this, turns out the guy she was with now was really toxic and verbally abusive to her and went out of his way to make her feel miniscule. So now I want to put him in the hospital. But I only have one side of it and for all I know she was toxic to him too. Now knowing that her last...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Anyone doing stuff with the new DLC? I dunno when I'll get around to it because the timing is bad. Hoping that the arena stuff has a lot to it, maybe the 3 arenas all have different things to do or something like that. I heard there might be other new things snuck into the game as well.

    I didn't like Fire Emblem: Three Houses either. I like the old FEs. Like, the first ten, the remakes of 1 and 2 (Shadow Dragon and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia) and that's about it. So the last FE game I actually liked was about 12 years ago. The SNES and GBA ones (3 through 8) were the pinnacle...

    How do you deal with someone's suicide?

    I was right about the grief hitting me harder the next day, it's been a rough one.

Course I'll leave out the...

    I was considering giving this a whirl since it's short and linear (pluses for me, just want to get through the game). However inventory space being severely limited is such a turn-off for me. The reason it took me ages to get through some of the Resident Evils, got so tired of trying to organize...

    I know we've got people on here who have had to deal with this. My long-time best friend (and ex-GF, almost married her back in 2016) killed herself.
