    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Honestly the summon bit stimmed from I thought it was part of arcane mage shit, so I just didn't bother. My limited experience with soulbourne, I just thought it was slapping things with sticks was the priority play. So yeah, comes more from my own dumbassery and lack of reading. Someone...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I've managed to do pretty okay melee only, esp with all the deficits I put on myself with playing blind. I didn't have any great runes until a couple days ago because i'm dumb, and i've also been running around with hobo gear because it looked cool; things like the cloth hood, with fire monk...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Man, been playing without looking up anything.. and notoriously bad at reading shit. I'm 108hr in at lv106. I just figured out how to get Great Runes, popped Margot in a 1shot after semi-struggling prior to grabbing.. shit was like a x2.

    Battlebit

    Whenever I did cqb, it was fun on the map.. but I mostly pistoled. My main issue was more/less feeling like I don't have enough smokes or even nades.. not that they were bad but maybe if I went assault with a mini supp crate.. I normally played medic or engi there depending.. flushing out...

    Not sure your playstyle, but I started fucking around with building+recon.. valley had been a blast to just snipe down and keep your squad in the game and not running sim.. Started doing it on other maps, making some sort of fob outside of a point. At first I thought it was a engi only, but...

    edit cus i forgot.. but they streamed Alive 1997 in its entirety.. and they also opened a reprint for homework's 25th anniversary.. which is sold out now? Managed to snag myself a vinyl copy. If I had to choose my #1 album, Homework is definitely it. Alive 97 is probably close second favorite...

    Yeah the server issue is probably the only real thing I have encountered, otherwise everything is pretty polished. Trying to get 3-5 people together in a server has been weird, but when we do get all the boys in.. its a good damn time. Aside from what heko said, I think the only other thing I...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Honestly, the whole drop in drop out was the best part regarding my group since we kinda all play at different times. We mostly made it a rule to tackle bosses, we tackle it together.. eventually we had 2 other groups of like 2 and 3 people groups join in and make their own villages and...

    This shit is so good. Proxy voip, drag downed teammates/enemies, destructible environments, 250? player servers.. currently biggest na is 135. Playtest started recently, and easy to get in but its a blast atm. Feels like a weird hybrid in terms of mechanic between battlefield and squad.

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Yes, but you can build a ward to prevent people from breaking your buildings, accessing your chest, and opening your doors. Iirc it's pretty cheap and early. As far as everything else idk, played a dedicated server with a few friends.. Though we did transfer the map file from the guy who was...

    Street Fighter 6

    Here's to hoping they'll shuttle Luke as a Captain Commando backstory and maybe we will get Mack and Ginzu. I'll be shocked if they don't bring Sean back in for 6, after a brief intro and his sister being in the previous. I'm guessing the story is going to lead into 3rd Strike, or around it...

    Instead you get a collaboration event with KoF Allstars x SFV.. But hey, might be a start of a new business relationship since SNK is owned by some Chinese company trying to breath life back into KoF.. I haven't tried it myself but KoF15 was looking to be a pretty solid installment.

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I'd imagine loki is going to mostly tie the whole variant bits together. Battle to be the meta variants, council of all powerful variants. Story will prob try to tie it all together and it'll be faction of bad variants and good variants fighting throughout the next phase.

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Completely agree on meh. I enjoyed it for what it was. I love Boba, I love Tatooine, I love tuskens and I think they did fine.. for the most part. Concept of the mod bikers was cool, thundercat as the doctor is fucking cool as hell.. but man the execution on their cyberpunk aesthetic.. they...

    Not that you're entirely wrong, but there are a chunk of them that are either ex-professional esport players or top ranking players; which I guess doesn't make them an actual professional depending on your definition.. but relatively same vibe..

    Escape from Tarkov

    Ooof, thats pretty tough. I did have something similar to that early wipe, but found out that they added something that allowed you to get back to your scav off-load upon rebooting.. but I also experienced a error to desktop... so I don't know if force crashing will help.

    Monster Hunter Rise

    I don't know if it'd help, recalled your post after this showed up on my feed this morning and thought it was pretty hilarious. Also, why not just hunt apex rathian than doing the Rampage. Iirc you unlock the hunt after completing the Rampage.

    I still play occasionally.. purely for pubg.report.. but shotguns are busted. I literally run around playing it like quake, jump shotting people. Recently, like last 3 months, they buffed it because according to them "no one uses the shotguns" so they got a buff across the board, and now you...

    Lol it helped a lot yesterday.. but uhh, today even with queue.. the problems were still the same problems. In the raids, its been fine.. but inventory/trader/flea has been rough. I had an inventory split a couple days ago. I usually keep items on my pmc when I do scavs, but I offloaded and...

    Escape from Tarkov

    Their Christmas stream a couple days ago was suppose to have a big surprise but Nikita was saying they were having technical difficulties.. they did a few actual live raids and I think they were trying to show it off. Everyone was partying and such, so I guess the theory it was a botched launch...

    Escape from Tarkov

    Chads will always be chads, just as meta loadout will be meta loadouts for the most part.. I think the biggest interest in the idea and I agree with Pest.. is it kind of forces people to also play the game. Chads will spend more time having to either go find said gear, or hoarding it.. instead...

    yeah, holy shit.. rushing your hideout/rep is gonna be the strategy for 12.12; the list of items not available on flea is a huge gamechanger.. and watching the stream; overheating looks so sexy.

    Lol, I go hard on wipes then teeter off toward late into wipe.. which seems to be the population norm? Meta M4's and t6 is pretty boring as said before, but its fun to mosinman a guy with a 1mil+loadout. I popped in a few raids throughout the last months or so, and its been either really empty...

    I never grew up playing Halo, aside from like a short stint when Halo 1 came to PC and was doing 1v1's with pistols and trying to sticky each other across map in some weird square grey killbox.

    According to a community manager, it's a build "a few months old" for whatever thats worth.. because the leak videos seemed to have played better than the beta but thats also not including network which desync seems to be one of the major glaring issues.
