I'm really enjoying the game so far. I held off on purchasing because of all the complaints but then I figured I would just let it sit until it was patched if things were bad. Here are my useless impressions: 1. The MTX really is pretty egregious. You get the feeling that the cost of the...

You can play it solo just fine but it is a lot less fun. Matchmaking is fine now also. You do you.

I think the meteor strikes are stupid and not fun. They don't give enough notice before one-shotting you and actively discourage you from moving and engaging in combat - which is actually the fun part of the game. I don't see any way in which they made the game more enjoyable. The weapon...

Game is surprisingly fun. The Pals have a lot of personality and quirks - especially when base building - and the game loop is pretty enjoyable and low stress. I like it more than I thought I would. Not sure it would be fun solo but I'm playing coop with my son. It is so fun it made him skip...

You might find this notion insane, but just because I don't believe the same thing as other people, I don't always believe those people are stupid or unenlightened. Just as I don't believe that my point of view is especially enlightened or clever. Sometimes people have different tastes and...

Overrated 1. All the Final Fantasy games except the MMOs, which I mostly enjoyed. Boring, Weebo nonsense. I just don't get it. Have never been able to stomach any of the SP games for more than 12-20 hours. 2. Starfield. Infinite procedural generated boredom. A master class in emptiness. Not one...

I'm hyped for this game and it will be a Day 1 purchase for me, but I did think that Talos was probably the least threatening giant monster I've ever seen. I mean, it didn't even swat at the player/minions or really do anything except lumber around and throw a cinematic spear at a fake...

The nightmare is over. Uninstalled this piece of shit game after 15 hours of boredom. Never again.

After a few hours my impressions are kinda mixed: It's Fallout. In space. Without much of the personality. Feels pretty generic so far. It runs well and things look good. I like that they FINALLY eliminated the lag of opening boxes and looting. The ship combat is pretty lame - it is about as...

My son and I are both huge Fallout and Skyrim fans but we were always suspicious about what was being said and what was likely the case about Starfield. Interestingly, it is exactly lacking in the key department (meaningful, open, unguided exploration) that would make me get into it. Both of us...

I can still recall exactly the Mass Effect probe launch sound. Great times.

Really enjoying the game - think about it even when not playing - but two things irk me: 1) Inability to lock order of characters in the party. This annoys me so much since I do a lot of skulking and stealthing with my main and keep on forgetting who is at F1, F2, etc. 2) The magic items suck...

Damn. Exactly that lol.

I'm just so excited about the level of tom-fuckery I'm going to get up to. I don't really care at all about the story or the characters or any of that. But I can't wait to take everything silly, game-breaking and egregious I discovered in previous Larian games and apply them to the Sword Coast...

I've been enjoying the game - probably more than I expected at launch, and probably a little less than I hoped now that I'm post-50. Here are some random thoughts: The boss fights sure have been a letdown. I remember at least 4-5 from D3 and I literally couldn't tell you one from D4. Apart...

I did a stupid. I thought legendary powers ripped from gear became "account bound" in the same way that the legendary powers you get from dungeons are account bound. This made me think that once I had an aspect in my inventory I could apply it to whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Sounded...

I'm enjoying the game more than I expected. Running a non-min-max Necro build with minions and enjoying it. Very different from the builds I've seen popular here and on Youtube but it is a lot of fun and pretty effective. I'll worry about build-of-the-week later. I'm 45 and also never seen the...

I love the play-style of the Necro so I'm starting with that. A little worried about lack of power, so I might switch to Sorc. I'll be playing with multiple groups though so will probably end up with Necro, Sorc + Barb or Rogue to the end-game and focus there. I've no interest in playing a...

I have a strange relationship with this game. When I just set out into the world aimlessly I really enjoy the little "micro adventures" I have: finding weird stuff, saving a few Koroks, flying one place while intending to go in a completely different direction. More fun than BoTW for me in that...

For me, the most amusing part about this Redfall business (which I downloaded on Gamepass but deleted before playing - will go back if/when better) is that now somehow people are relying on FUCKING STARFIELD to "right the Xbox ship" and launch without being a buggy mess! STARFIELD! You know, a...

I was sad to hear about the skellie nerf too. Fuck that. I liked Necro precisely because it didn't make me micro-manage my summons all that much. I don't mind if they are less effective overall but having to summon them constantly will just be annoying.

Been struggling at work and with kids and a sick cat. Also struggling with functioning alcoholism. Last night I had two drinks and stopped. I sat on my couch and noticed two things: 1) the front of my apartment is like 80% window; I can see mountains, trees, sky, water. 2) My dishwasher was...

Necro is hilarious fun. Just constant booming corpse explosions with a few obvious synergies. I really like it from a pure mindless destruction angle. I can see it being the trash mob killer king but not so sure it will do as well against endgame bosses. I've already had a few cases where...

I'm not sure why I'm sharing my worthless point of view on the beta but here it is anyway. Personally, I didn't really find anything to recommend playing the game. It felt phoned-in to me. Sure, it was functional but to me it felt like a modded D3 with a ton of live service bullshit added in to...

Its like they forgot to add the monsters. Animations are terrible. Not impressed so far.

My son and I finished the game this weekend. It was a total blast. Took about 17 hours but a fair amount of that time was spent building a completely worthless base that we did just for fun. Apart from the initial 30 minutes or so the game never seemed scary or unnerving. We found a gun right...

This is definitely one of the worst onboarding experiences I can remember. Not only is the first boss more difficult than it needs to be, the fact that they introduce new mechanics (spells) right before you can meaningfully learn how to use them and then introduce an entire new mechanic in the...

Bro. Saying this is like saying peat and barley make brown liquid. Mother fucker, *I* know how to airbrush and glaze things, and my figs sure as hell don't turn out like that. Maybe you are using Unicorn Horn Paintbrushes or Elven Maiden Minge Paintbrushes or something? Maybe Air Efreet Air...

If anyone on Earth thinks I hack and slash my way through a Diablo game considering whether or not the waterfalls are caused by glacial melt in another zone, they need to have their fucking head examined. What a nutso thing to care about. Also, I do have trouble counting to five but didn't they...

First reaction: do we still have to call MMOs "WoW clones"? Second reaction: Holy Fuck does that ever look like a WoW clone.

Thank you for the great explanation!

I'm trying to expand my gaming a little so right now I'm playing Chained Echoes which, I guess, is a kind of spiritual JRPG. I really like it but I also was wondering if anyone could tell me: what the fuck is the purpose of the icon that counts down to the left of the Overheat bar? Obviously, it...

My son and I started a fresh server and are working through the Mountains Biome now. Game is as fun as ever. We've both been staying away from spoilers on Mistlands so there's a real sense of excitement about what's to come. We made a baller base with double moat layers and deathtrap-dungeon...

I started a new character and got grouped with a guy who had clearly spent 80-100$ on cosmetics. He was kitted the fuck out. Looked awesome. He also didn't know how to drop his med pack so we could heal during the boss fight. Had to chuckle. Yup, that seems about right.

Man they can fuck right off with those in-game cosmetic prices. What a bunch of crap. I think Ogryn are rare because people are freaked out by their hitboxes being larger and the shield just doesn't look like fun from a player perspective. Probably great to have on your team but not so fun to...

I've crashed more games than I've finished this PM. That sucks.

Not bad but not great from a very initial perspective. 1. For me the levels are too long. They should be like 2/3 length. Missions drag especially if... 2. You are playing with a PUG. They need to increase the amount of ammo you get. If they aren't going to enforce how many of the same...

I found that World Tier Reveal video pretty depressing. The number of times those two guys focused on "progression" and "builds" and "customization" and "endgame" and not on "fun" or "awesome experience" has me pretty alarmed. Those are just the front-end industry buzzwords for "engagement"...

Thought I'd jot down some impressions of the game from a new player starting after the Brimstone Sands patches: Overall I'm enjoying the game. The new leveling process seems good at introducing most of the core new systems and teaching you how to play the game. Content does start to get a...

THIS FUCKING RACE completely ruined Mad Max for me. And I loved that game. I thought it was such a fun gem until this buggy, unpolished piece-of-shit race. I'm not exactly sure why I had so much trouble with it - something to do with the retarded car physics that otherwise didn't bother me and...
