I have that same "uncomfortable" issue with every Arkane game I try to play. For example, Prey seemed designed for me to like it, but I quickly gave up on it and returned it because something just felt off about the whole thing. I've been bouncing between Dishonored 1 and 2 this week and...

I buy them so that I can steamroll them with my buddies. We were the first group on Phinny to beat the last six or so expansions and #2 in TOL (because we took it a little easier and another group led by the most beast SK on the server passed us). The launches are fun times.

I was also completely invisible in jr high. Wanted a GF really bad and honestly expected one to fall in my lap. None did. Though I did a lot better in HS and late teens at being noticed by girls, I was still completely inept and managed to make all of it go absolutely nowhere. Funniest thing...

I member in High School when FF7 came out, seemed like everybody was playing it. A day after launch, when everyone was still in Midgar, one guy was parked outside Midgar and had all his characters at like level 30 with level 3 magic (Firaga etc) unlocked already. I guess he just stopped and...

I started this earlier this evening when I needed a break from Dishonored. It looks pretty incredible visually and I like how the PS5 controller gets utilized to full effect. I can't wait to play some more in a couple days. I probably wouldn't even be playing this any time soon if it weren't for...

After Dishonored 1 and 2 (if I'm able to beat them, that is, cause I'm still dying constantly) here are other things I could potentially try to clear out. I kinda want to "finish off" some of my old systems. Games I have that I never finished, by system: Super NES: Legend of the Mystical Ninja...

I miss the old spell effects, and how they'd change forms at a couple points (level 20 and 45, I think?) The shielding spells trailing from the hands was great, and the undead-slaying spells looked incredible compared to how meager they are now. Playing a Necro again on Mischief launch was...

Damn, I've always wanted to play an enchanter/necromancer hybrid. That sounds completely sick.

I made around 12% of a year's salary in one trade earlier this year. It was VET, IIRC, after it shot up that first time and was super hot. That's my personal best trade. Unfortunately that, along with a majority of my crypto profits in general, are up in the air with the current market because I...

That's legitimately how I feel when I have excess money to go around. Like I wouldn't mind the current numbers so much if I were sitting on a pile of extra money and could buy some more. Unfortunately it's December, the absolute worst month for having any major amount of extra money.

A few hours into Dishonored and I'm liking it, but my initial assessment of "Bioshock if it were a regular game" is holding up. It really does feel like it wants to be Bioshock, but it's too simplistic for that. It also reminds me a bit of Assassin's Creed. So it's like a Bioshock/AC hybrid...

Sylvando is a pretty cool dude IMO. He is the logical extension of the "Goof-Off" class introduced in DQ3 that continued with Taloon in DQ4 and the Gadabout in DQ6/7. It makes sense that the ultimate form of that type of character would be a flamboyant guy dressed as a peacock. His character arc...

Update: While figuring out my next game, I tried Cadence of Hyrule, quickly realized why I haven't gotten into it sooner. I'm no good with rhythm-based games and this one is on the tedious side unless you're really into it. You don't even play as Link, you play as some new girl who looks like...

There's a gif of it? I'd like to see any footage of it, because all I have is my memory of seeing it live (I was practically ringside as well).

Finished Curse of the Moon 2. That was HARD. One particular circular platform area late in the game nearly had me pulling my hair out. Nice lineup here of the last bunch of PS4 games I cleared out. Was leaning Resident Evil remakes next but I think I'm gonna get to Ratchet and Clank instead...

Just noticed my Mario Kart on Switch is an EU copy. It's been working fine all this time but I wonder if that'll be a detriment at some point down the line (like if it gets a surprise DLC or something).

Just be aware that the Mario 3D 3-pack doesn't add anything or remake anything really. It's the same 3 games. Galaxy is very very good and probably worth it alone. Sukik hasn't had a Nintendo system since N64 so chances are Galaxy and Sunshine will be completely new to him. Maybe do a 3D Mario...

I discovered that Curse of the Moon has a "real" final boss if you play it a second time on Nightmare mode, so I went ahead and did that. The game was much tougher, especially the new final boss, but eventually I got him and really beat the game for real. Now I'm a couple levels into Curse of...

Here are my retroactive contributions: Dragon Quest 6, re-beat the final boss to take shots. Originally beat early Nov. Posted about it in other threads. Fell Seal, did the same, originally beat 11/5, posted about it in other threads. Taking a stab at Curse of the Moon 2, gonna...

Those are the main 3 I'd recommend. There's also Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury if you want a more standard Mario game (Odyssey is a little weird and open worldy). I'm not that crazy about this new Pokemon game (Diamond/Pearl remake) because of the stupid-looking POP figure character models, but...

Astro's Playroom is soooooo good. I think I 100%'d it in the early PS5 days, it was just that fun.

That's good, it's one thing I can scratch off the list. I'm 100% going to spend some time on FF14 and LOTRO but jury's out on ESO and Vanguard. I suspect Vanguard is pretty dated now too.

Man, I'm really riding SHIB into the ground. It's just below 50% of my buy-in. Actually considering capitulation now, not because I'm angry about the losses, but because at this point it's seeming increasingly pointless to stay in it when I could probably make the money back a lot quicker if I...

COTM1 done. Bloodstained trilogy has been backlogged for ages. Not sure if I'll take on COTM2 right now because it's said to be much harder, but we'll see how I'm feeling. I might jump right to Ritual or I might change course. Really wanting to knock off those old Resident Evils.

If we're counting games I beat after the thread was posted but before I joined the contest, I cleared Fell Seal and Dragon Quest 6 from the backlog before I officially joined said contest, but within the month of November. It was pretty well-documented in the threads for those games that I was...

Funny Jamie Hayter story, one of the shows I was at this year (Chicago Rampage I think), a guy in the front row was spinning a towel during the Team DMD entrance (or match). Hayter yanked the towel away from the guy and flossed her nether-regions with it (vigorously), then threw it at the guy's...

The Terror of Luclin launch day was incredibly smooth. Servers up right when they were supposed to be, didn't crash, no login issues, game worked. ...then the actual expansion was a glitch-filled mess. It took us about 3 days to complete it (besides AAs and collects/hunters of course) and...

Anyone have a gif of her eyebrow-raise in that one episode? Also I'm sure Thunder Rosa is going to win the title next and she's pretty rad, but I hope Jamie Hayter wins the title off of her and has it for a looooong time.

One of my favorite memes is when people put like a Brazzers or Blacked logo on a screenshot of something from wrestling. It's usually hilarious. I've seen a ton of things like that of AJ Lee in particular and they're always hilarious. We should bring that back.

Is EQ2 worth playing in this day and age? I've been meaning to spend some time on it (like, maybe 3-4 months) since it launched. I subbed for one month during whatever the Kunark expansion was and rolled up an Iksar Monk, got really bored by level 12 and quit. However ever since I've been...

This is why we need a Kunark-launch TLP, so those leveling zones can be a focal point for the population. Also a TSS-launch TLP for the same reason. Kunark has so many 1-50 zones that get ignored and TSS has so many 1-70 zones that get ignored by the majority of TLP players. At least Luclin...

That makes a huge difference. I get how it'd be a lot less appealing for the owner but it makes for a better store. When I was 20ish I worked at a Subway and the owner did almost nothing. The manager was this completely overworked middle-aged woman who was always stressed out beyond belief and...

Yeah I've got a TON of nostalgia for Velious. I love snow levels in games, and it came out in winter 2000 when life was super-good. Had finished high school and was taking some time off, playing Final Fantasy IX / Chrono Cross / Suikoden 2 / Grandia / Legend of Dragoon / Vagrant Story / Wild...

Droga is best for the 60-65 grind? This is the first time I've heard that I think. IIRC Grieg's End, Deep, and PoP zones themselves (PoN, PoI) are generally what's used for grinding 60-65 depending on group makeup. Have AOE classes? Deep. Have headshotters? Grieg or PoN. Have a normal group? PoI...
