Well, I never finished Nioh 1, all the dropping and picking back up didn't do me any favors whatsoever. Now that Dark Souls 3 is done I've tapped out all the available Fromsoft stuff so I might try yet again. I should probably start it over from the beginning when I do. I got about 65% or so of...

Never paid any attention to Runescape before. It looks really good. It's like a parallel universe EQ where real money and effort is being put into supporting the game and making it still matter.

I almost can't imagine there being an EQ summit today where 50 uberguilders are invited out to give input on the game. The game was so much bigger back then. Tecknoe was first as I recall, as well. Way after the 52 cap was added. Naggy was being one-grouped by 60's when the cap was added...

This was on Vaniki which wasn't random loot, if you want an FBSS it's only gonna drop at Frenzy. But yeah, on Teek, they mix named loot pools together with similar-leveled named loot pools. This makes it harder to target specific items, and tends to result in lots of junk dropping, but also...

Is Picard S2 worth watching? I've determined that I did indeed see the end of S1 and stopped after that. It'd be a little weird to jump to S3 where all the actual good TNG content is, unless S2 is very skippable. It's short, at least. Also I still have like 35 DS9 episodes so I shouldn't even...

Xenogears should have been remade ages ago. It's one of the greatest sci-fi epic RPGs of all time, maybe THE greatest. It's also trapped on PS1, with archaic-looking 3D graphics (that were really nice / ahead of their time in 1998, at least). I've never played another game with story/lore/etc...

I finished this game a couple times. What I would do is consolidate all the most powerful characters into the first, second, and third units. The most powerful would go in the first, then second, etc. I wasn't trying to balance them or anything. Then I'd leave units 2 and 3 guarding the base...

Trek is at its best when it's thoughtfully predicting the future (the best version of the future) with things like "we created replicators, so hunger was eliminated from the world" and holodecks replacing movies - making for an entertainment medium that requires people to think more, AND makes...

Most of the white guys are the "previous generation", the stodgy Olds that are on their way out, while the fresh-faced young recruits are way more...Diverse. This same trope plays out over and over again and it always strikes me as an allegory of Biden and Kamala. The whole objective of that...

I feel the same way. Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Bioshock are probably my three favorite post-2000 games, and none of them enchant me the way a bunch of things did in the 1990's. Things like Chrono, FFT, FF4/6/7/9, Xenogears, Super Mario 64. So it's really hard for me to compare modern games to...

I was mostly looking at the scene where they have all the Starfleet Academy cadets assembled in one place. One of the reviews I watched of the show said something like "finding a white guy in this academy is like Where's Waldo", so I paraphrased it. That one scene is all I was looking at. The...

Wonder if Metroid 6 is going to give us more of Metroid Suit Samus. It's fugly, but it sure is powerful. Actually, the power level is so busted that they'll have to find a way to nerf it quick. I think the X Parasite is done. They never did that much for me. Sure they're creepy, and both Fusion...

Gaiden is basically "Yakuza 7". It's designed to be the parallel story to Like A Dragon, which was sorta Yakuza 7 but not really and definitely not called that. LAD 2: Infinite Wealth is also Yakuza 8. After LAD dropped, they realized that people still wanted more of Kiryu's story, so they made...

Chrono Trigger is possibly the best video game of all time*. Probably the best video game of the 20th century, almost definitely the best Super NES game of all time. If it gets remade, they really just need to enhance it to HD2D like some of the other recent remakes. Spruce up the dialogue to...

Grand Theft Auto 4 needs to be remastered; it's trapped on the PS3. Metal Gear Solid 4 needs to be remastered; it's trapped on the PS3. Dragon Quest 8 needs to be remastered; it's trapped on the PS2 (well, the only good version anyway). Bloodborne needs to be remastered with 60 FPS; it's...

Never saw this, heard it's like a 0/10 level movie. My first thought looking at the poster... is this a Mirror Universe movie? No? It's a Starfleet movie? Nu Trek really is full of horrible people who dress in black outfits and treat other people like garbage. We don't even need a Mirror...

Oh I don't care about the currency stuff even though it's what that video was talking about. I'm just mad about the disrespect shown to the captain's chair. And the glasses. And the obese women at a fucking military training facility. Trying to find an actual white man in the crowd at the...

I'm gonna be playing Fallout 2 in the very near future (only game out of 1-4 + NV that I never played). If anyone has any suggestions on builds or anything like that. Was FO2 particularly well-received? It seems a lot nicer-looking and more streamlined than FO1. IIRC a lot of folks were miffed...

Tell that to the guy on Vaniki who lost some DPS races to me and spent THREE DAYS flipping out about me in general channels to the point that he got suspended for disturbing the peace, then logged on with a different account and did the same thing with the same results. When I logged back on I...

So they basically added Gameshark codes to FF7 Remake's options menu. Jesus. It's bad enough that Square's new HD2D remakes all seem to have a toggle-able invincibility mode, which pretty much kills any need to actually put in any serious work on micromanaging your party. Why bother leveling up...

Pretty much. If they changed it to 8 weeks in Velious, 8 weeks in Luclin, 8 weeks in PoP (bonus if LDoN is included) and went from there, it would probably be as popular as Teek and have more longevity in the population, contrary to their belief over there. A lot more people would actually get...

The "we must have it be one year to reach PoP" edict is what kills these servers by perpetuating the cycle of "people leave after PoP". Selo did fine well after PoP by just getting past it sooner, rather than dragging things out and having a new server cannibalize the playerbase late in PoP...

Can't even work on AAs. Jesus Christ, indeed. What are they thinking? Edit: Oh, it's 18 weeks, not months. Well, still pretty bad.

What is this absolute horseshit everybody's talking about? I haven't watched this, but... the way this woman sits in the captain's chair actually pisses me off in a visceral way It feels like it's intended as a direct disrespect to people who value rank, order, station, being a FUCKING...

Yeah, Switch 2 hasn't been worth the $500 at all. I played Mario Kart (good but not as good as the existing one) and Metroid Prime 4 (meh and not as good as the existing 3) and then sodded off. The only other thing I even bought for the system is the BOTW remaster patch for $10. It makes the...

Not surprised that Indian and Latina have experienced a surge, guys love "ethnically-ambiguous" women. A lot more surprised that transgender is so high, considering that it seems like more of a niche curiosity from teenagers (to see what it looks like) than anything mainstream that people would...

It's weird how Draygon and Phantoon are part of the statue over Tourian. The statue should have just been Kraid and Ridley, like the original game. In theory you need to defeat Phantoon and Draygon to get to Ridley during any sort of normal playthrough, anyway. Also, the boss music should be...

Yeah, Movie 43 is fucking gross and awkward, and left me questioning why I was spending time that way. It isn't even "bad in a good way". You're wasting your time. The Raven... was good? You might have a point here with "Amanda was always a cunt". Maybe it was less egregious when she had...

Holy shit, you're right. I had to look it up, it was Lloyd Bridges who played the Admiral (and later the President in the second one). For some reason in my head for a while now I vividly pictured Leslie Nielsen being in that movie. They do look and act pretty similarly and both are incredibly...

This was a Metroid game made by people who don't know how to make Metroid. It would have been fine as a Halo game, because it basically is Halo.

I don't know how anyone can say ANY of the Naked Gun movies are the worst. All three (now four) of them are a fun, irreverent, "nothing is sacred" time. See also the original Hot Shots, which is probably the funniest movie I've ever seen, and basically Naked Gun with military instead of police...

This was a while ago so I might have already responded to it, but I'll do it again either way: Highlander: The Source (the fifth and final movie) was somehow even worse than this. Highlander is such a weird series. The first movie is great, the third and fourth movies are better than people...

Back in the 90's, the big game I wanted to play on PC pre-EQ was Legends of Terris, a text-based MUD (probably the best text-based MUD out there TBH) and my Windows 3.1 computer with no sound card couldn't even run that without tons of scrolling lag. That game was awesome, with nine classes and...

Normally I'd cheer on someone keeping their play hours low, but buying 19 games and playing them all for a grand total of one day just comes off like "hi I like to waste money"

SK+Shaman probably, whether you pick Live or a TLP server. It's the evergreen duo.

Everquest. I missed out on a ton of things at the beginning of the century (D2, KOTOR, Morrowind, the entire Game Boy Advance system/era, girls, getting laid, probably getting laid a lot if we're being quite honest) Yep. All because I was glued to that fucking Everquest from 99-01 and then...

Yep, it's bad. For a Zerker, the one thing worth having is something you'll have to compete with 15 SKs for. Beastlord is an even worse situation.

I go to Europe every so often, different country every time, and always make it a point to go see the local cathedral(s). Some of them are insane wonders of architecture. Barcelona particularly stands out. And of course Paris. I got to see the Notre Dame Cathedral for the first time about a week...

Finished Prime 4, next up is some CRPGs which I'm stoked for. Not sure if I'm starting with Planescape or Diablo 2. Keep getting distracted / pulled away by other things like the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection.

Finished this game on Sunday, a month after it dropped. Mercifully done. The green crystal hunt wasn't as bad as I expected. I just made sure to farm a little bit every time I crossed the overworld desert, and made note of the locations of the giant boulders that needed Power Bombs. At the end I...
