    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Not sure if it's been posted here, but you can help with the terrible sluggish controls a bit by tweaking the settings. FoV 105, look sensitivity 5, radial and axial dead zones 0.2. Not perfect, but it feels a lot better to me and was pretty comfortable to settle into after Destiny controls...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Do shells ever level up and get better/new abilities or increased stats? I’ve yet to find any shells specific loot, but I’d assume that’s how your character evolves and until then you can play any shell that fits your playstyle interchangeably?

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Seriously? How stupid. The sound is so good, but if I can’t pinpoint real players what’s the point? edit: and is it just me or is the ammo economy wack? Maybe I’m just used to Destiny but I feel like I run out of ammo so fast even when I only kill a handful of bots. My backpack is already too...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Never played arc raiders so can’t really compare them, but just put in 3+ hours on Marathon. Solo que normal shells, haven’t tried rook yet. Only ever saw 2 runners in all my matches. One ignored me (my first match after tutorial so I was too scared to try and shoot him), the other killed me...

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    I’m turning off game updates. I’m enjoying the game a ton right now as is. I don’t want my mage nerfed. Maybe I’ll change my mind once I get super OP, but I’m taking my sweet time with this one so far and am 38 hours in and still in act 1.

    What are you playing?

    FF12 is so good. One of my favorite FFs ever only behind 3(6) on the snes and maybe the original ff7. Currently loving Tainted Grail and it’s an eating up all my playtime.

    Unlooted corpse indicators would be nice. Any corpse that doesn’t fall dead right at your feet can be very difficult to find. I don’t think it will happen though. The game went with minimalistic/nonexistent assistance indicators, which overall I really like.

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    Do you mean you couldn't figure out how to fish, or it was just too tedious and therefore "didn't work"? If it's the former, I struggled at first too. I'd click the button as soon as I heard and felt the bite, but it always failed. I realized after a while that you don't click the bite until...

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    Mage here too, battlemage I guess? I tend to use one spell + wand for whacking when mobs get close. I just found a spell that seems really good, blazing something or other, but requires 12 spirituality. I am focusing on getting that after dumping some points into endurance for my armor...

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    I’m really enjoying it too. Quick tip: I just realized that ALL materials used for crafting and cooking can be stored in your stash and pulls from there automatically. Took my weight from 198/200 to 68/200! So much better. I like the music a lot for this game, but the title screen song is just...

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    I read that they updated the ps5 version to perform better when they released the first dlc. Does anyone know if the dlc is required to get the performance update patch or is it a patch to the base game? Going to buy the game soon but was planning to wait on the dlc to make sure I enjoy the game...

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    This game sounds cool. I played the demo on ps5 and enjoyed it enough. My favorite part was killing the op guy at the boat for his sword at the very end of the demo. I heard the game kind of falls off in the last 1/3 and there are pretty significant performance issues as the game goes along? Is...

    Arc Raiders

    So would this game be for me if I really don’t like engaging in PvP? I don’t mind cooperative playing at all, but the twitchy sweaty kill them fast kind of gameplay doesn’t appeal to me anymore. It’s on sale on PSN so I’m debating grabbing it

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    It’s pretty fun now. Reminded me of the Rogue 1 movie in some ways since it’s Star Wars, but not Jedi focused and all the mainstream stuff. The stealth stuff has been way tuned down and is much more optional, which helped a lot with game flow. It did get repetitive though even when I went into...

    The Outer Worlds

    Do you have a link to the review that compares OW2 to Destiny? I’d like to watch it. Next game on my list is either this or Borderlands 4, whichever has gunplay that feels most like Destiny 2.

    Synastria (Solo WoW Emu)

    If I understand correctly, common item stats transfer between characters. If I want to start at 1 and then swap to DK at 55, I should go pal or war since they are also plate wearers and in theory would have the most in common with a DK for perma stats correct? I’m guessing a Paladin would be...

    Synastria (Solo WoW Emu)

    Thanks. I was leaning DK after reading an earlier comment about being able to swing around. I haven’t started yet. Got the game client and pasted in the custom patch files. Wasn’t sure I did it right, but the game seemed to be working. Logged in long enough to make a throw away 80 so alts will...

    Synastria (Solo WoW Emu)

    Going to give this a try. have the WoW solo itch after THJ so hoping this is fun. Any class recommendation for ease of play that’s still good for solo? I just want a chill run for nostalgia sake

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    They paused after PoP to add in other game modes and some dungeon challenge or something like that, but the plan was to go well beyond PoP eventually.

    Helldivers II

    Am I missing something with HD2? Missions are fun, but when a friend and I duo something, we get like 3 medals and minimal other currency. I don’t feel like we are making any real progress. Most of the stuff to buy for the ship and upgrades we aren’t getting much progress on, and if we play a...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    So how many of you guys here have bitcoin stashed away from 12+ years ago and are millionaires now? I’m so mad at myself for not buying coins back in the day. I was so close many times too but back then I was poor and couldn’t fathom “wasting” $100 on it. Who has the most coins stashed away on...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    It only works out of combat, unless the spell is on your spell bar and then you can use the command whenever. It’s intended for buff spells but no idea if it works for offensive spells initially until it puts you into combat on whatever mob you cast it at.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Temporary debuffs instead of outright dispelling all your buffs is an amazing change. Couple that with the ability to cast non-memmed spells, and buffing/staying buffed is easier than ever!

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Such a shame Bungie went for this next instead of Destiny 3 (or another FPS focused on pve). PvP in Destiny was always my least favorite part. If they would have just focused on a new fps engine with all the bloat and grinding cut out, they could have made a great next gen game. Personally I...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Patch today. Massive buff to dots and hstr +1% for auto attack, among other things. Not bad. edit: also, the Vortex weapons got a big buff apparently, but haven't seen new stats yet.

    But why? I don’t really understand the deep technical aspects of VRR, but if it can do it in the weaker handheld mode, why would it not work when docked by default?

    Wait, the Destiny “content vault” was actually just Bungie completely deleting the content? That’s hilarious and terrible at the same time

    Playstation 5

    I’m so torn. I don’t need a PS5 Pro. My launch ps5 is fine, but I also don’t want to pay hundreds more in a year or 2 if I do decide I want one. Paying ~$800 for something I don’t really need is a tough pill to swallow. I really don’t want to pull the trigger but know I’ll be kicking myself...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    I vaguely remember playing vanilla Oblivion at launch and agree that the original enemy scaling completely ruined any feeling of danger or growing stronger. How has that been addressed in this remaster, or is it the same? I see a lot of comments about how awful the scaling was/is(?) but can’t...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    I got lucky and got a bracer on my one Quarm kill. Didn’t bother farming, or buying, another one because why? I can already kill everything minus Zeb so don’t really need to bother with any more gear.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Am I an idiot? Game doesn’t show in the store via ps5, no matter which words I search. Had to go on the ps app on my phone and then it showed up right away. Pleasantly surprised this game is only $50 and not $60-70. Between this and Oblivion I think I’ll be set for a long time.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    I enjoyed PoP a lot less than I expected. There was so much flagging and none of the loot was good until I got to Time. If there were decent drops to chase it would have felt much better. But zone after zone of f tedious flagging with no excitement about boss drops, really put a downer on the...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    This. 65 with almost 3k AA. No reason to kill anything for xp other than powerslot, which makes it super dull. Once you hit a level cap/AA threshold they should make it so that every slot becomes a powerslot so you can level up a whole new set of BiS in one go. Having to autopilot in PoFire for...
