    Witcher 3

    I feel the opposite, but I totally understand someone preferring W3 (which is essentially a much better version of Kindoms of Amalur) if the party mechanics of DA:I were not a major draw for it. Both games are so good that it is really a matter of ones personal preferences as to which you would...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    The trick is they are all crazy, it is just a matter of degrees. The trick is to find a manageable level, just like more mature women will try and find a manageable level of asshole. But yeah, the actual credo is to never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself. Re JT's situation- It is a...

    Dark Souls 3

    Early on, it REALLY sucked. Before you get Ludwigs and just faceroll/oneshot everything, some bosses present serious learning curves that burn up your stock. Once Hyperion Gaol opens up, then yeah full restock and some bonus mats in under 15 minutes. Its still tedious and there is no reason...

    Dark Souls 3

    Point 1- I completed the entire game, minus the chalice stuff from Izl (sp?) Root onward. Once I got Ludwigs, all I did was mash R1 most of the time and no boss (aside from Martyr) took more than three attempts to beat. If it wasn't in a Depth 4+ Chalice dungeon, it ceased being difficult...

    Muse - Drones

    There were a lot of songs I really liked on 2nd Law, but a lot of ones I did not care for as well (more than normal). So far, I am liking this one, but the only songs that jumped out at me have been Handler and Drones thus far. I hope they let the bass player do a couple on this album again...

    Muse - Drones

    Part of it is that they don't chain release albums and they are amazing live. They really a lot like Queen was in their heyday.

    Master of Orion

    MOO2 was really easy to break with certain custom race builds (or just being a race that had certain talents). Creative and Telepathic were so unbalanced. I would like to see them scale those back a tad and make the top difficulty somewhat winnable by less optimized races. Also, dial back the...

    Holy shit, thanks for the tip!

    Dark Souls 3

    The shield mechanic was something I actually liked. It made for methodical thought out combat. BB is just frantically reefing on the attack and hoping your rally regain and stamina outlast the trash, or for bosses its just poke dodge poke. There were plenty of fights (and a lot of PvP) where...

    Dark Souls 3

    I said this in the BB thread, but it is (for me at least) the weakest of the series. The twitch gameplay, the linear progression, the limited enemy types, the erratic hit boxes, and the silly difficulty progression curve all put me off. The complete lack of replay value hurts, too. I mean...

    Master of Orion

    The game I really wish they would remake is Master of Magic, which was made by the same company that did MOO. A modern Star Control would be a welcome console game, too.

    Wasteland 2 has been my favorite PC game of the last two years, though the Shadowrun sequel was up there, too.

    Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck

    You also have to remember that Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Sound Garden basically broke the shitty pop stranglehold on the music scene at that time. And as mentioned, Cobain was a great bullshitter and self promoter, plus they did not have the internal drama of Sound Garden nor the aversion to the...

    Fallout 4

    If all this is ends up being is an updated clone of FO3, I will still feel it money well spent. The story I really wanted to see in game (Van Buren) got partially used in Old World Blues, so I am not getting that wish. The game is all about the backstory and atmosphere, which that trailer...

    Arrow

    Matter of opinion, but watching all of DD before this season made this season of Arrow almost unwatchable for the wife and I. Ras Al Ghul is really the only redeeming part of it, but Fisk was handled just as well in DD S1. It comes down to how much camp and angst you want out of your comic...

    Arrow

    Yeah Hal Jordan and Ollie run was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. Hal was powerful, but basically a humorless dick and he needed Oliver to balance out his personality. It was arguably one of the better DC comics of the late 70s early 80s. Anyhow, this season really tanked the...

    Arrow

    That's what the show turned him into and its lifting Batman plots left and right. The comic book Green Arrow was much more of a swashbuckler type, whereas this version is just a batman who lies a lot to his friends.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah and everything you described about her family laid the groundwork for your wife to be double extra strength coo coo for coa-coa puffs down the road. Khane is the only guy here with an itchy trigger finger, I think. Most of the rest of us have the opposite problem.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think we are all just too numbed by dealing with Onoes, where nothing is subtle and it requires a sledge hammer to get points across. We are not used to dude looking for advice about minor concern in this thread anymore.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    No shit. Noodle defies logic on a lot of levels though and gets away with it. There are just some things you just do not say at all when talking to a woman you are in a relationship unless you want to nuke it right there. "Clingy", "Cunt", "You are just like your mother.", and "Your sister...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You largely covered why opiate's advice is not good with a very candid self assessment here. My impression is that he either has not had or is not into long term commitment, either. Apples and Oranges. If you are playing the long game, which a lot of us over 30 "betas" are, different rules...

    Fallout 4

    Proton Axe was god damn ridiculous if you were set up for mele. The stealth suit, while nerfed compared to the FO3 version, was still good enough to wear over powered armor. And the sniper rifle was certainly godmode. Rest of the items were largely ok. OA and the limitless supply of alien...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This is a person who tried to derail his last relationship by suggesting a threesome and was surprised when that blew up in his face. The concept of long term relationships with give and take is foreign to him and he really should be in the GWBYH thread, but that one basically died out and all...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think its a nesting thing. She is mid 30s and looking to settle down and does not want to take any chances. That plus early stages of relationship bring in the clingy factor. Call me old fashioned, but I consider 6 months a short relationship unless its a bang buddy situation. As sad and...

    Bloodborne

    Maybe it is the chalice dungeons one shotting stun proof autotrack bosses making me jaded, but I just do not trust the parries in this game at all. Sometimes enemies simply do not end up stunned from the setup charge attack or parry. Sometimes they randomly throw in an extra swing into their...

    Big Trouble In Little China Remake

    Blatantly offensive non PC western comedy with modern jokes. McFarland basically said the movie was a homage to Blazing Saddles in the commentary. I agree that the whole black sheriff gag is one that will never be repeated, though.

    Big Trouble In Little China Remake

    And while not strictly a remake, Million Ways to Die was clearly a huge riff on Blazing Saddles.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Depends on if you want a long lasting relationship or not. That takes compromise and prioritizing what's important. Doing that takes time and care. If all your doing is switching out bangmaids every couple years, then yeah bailing early on a relationship due to a couple differences makes...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Both mid 30s and only 6 months in? Yeah she is trying to lock you down a bit. She could be batshit or she could have just been burnt before and have some trust issues. Either way, 6 months in is way to early to tell. Trying to have a discussion about this is a fools errand, though. It will...

    Bloodborne

    I agree its powerful if you master it, but its like parrying in the Souls games. Its basically there for master level players who want to dedicate the time to it. For us filthy casuals, roll into it and power down with Ludwigs (or Axe starting out) pretty much wins just about any fight in the...

    Big Trouble In Little China Remake

    I thought the Fright Night remake was actually a good one, both a homage to the original and some modernized twists. Plus Collin Farrell nailed it like Homsar said. Very few remakes/reboots get the right balance between paying homage (and avoiding unintentional parody) and doing a new take on...
