    The Last of Us

    Once they committed to re-purpose the story for blatant promotion of degeneracy it was over, there's no good writing to be had in that context. It could still be good in terms of technical execution. But unless all those leaks are fake and/or wildly misleading, its fair to shit all over the game...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I'm torn. Guess its a wait and see situation. One thing I know for sure is this could have been much worse in light of the way other franchises have wound up being modernized. The idea of maybe not knowing what's going to happen has some appeal. On the other hand, the game was fantastic for the...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Yeah what people don't get is the "they wouldn't be interested in us" type of explanation might work for some alien civ, but not for all possible civs. Its an attitude people get from movies and "science communicators". In order to make the warp coil they'd have to master universal empathy and...

    Your favorite moments in video games (Or "WOW" moments"

    Was so hyped for a sequel after that ending. Too bad they never came close to living up to the potential there.

    E3 2019

    Watching e3 has made the purely hypothetical idea of pirating games, which I would never do, seem entirely justified.

    Devil May Cry 5

    This game is fantastic. I've played the whole series, and I'll put this one as a close 2nd favorite behind dmc3.

    Tuco, a tranny, a TRAINED FEMALE BOXER step into a ring...

    As long as we're in fantasy land, I propose that this shit here is a legitimate fighting technique and nobody can beat this guy. Because training. If any of you clowns are doubters its because you haven't stepped into the dojo with a real trained master.

    Tuco, a tranny, a TRAINED FEMALE BOXER step into a ring...

    Eh...Maybe the untrained guy could lose on points somehow from not having the right technique, while the female runs around and lands a couple of harmless jabs. If they ever stood and traded though, she would lose. A woman can't "light up" any man against his will, unless there is an extreme...

    Hah, I don't like Maher in general but... Yeah, he's got a point there.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    This is all fine but I just want to be allowed to play the control mode again with a regular queue. Also, the fact that they consider the most absolutely boring modes (survival and countdown) to be "competitive" doesn't give me much hope for PvP in this game.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Didn't see anything about letting people select their desired PvP mode, as you could in Destiny 1. What a shame.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I feel like they did a lot of positive changes with PvP in mind, and I like those changes. Yet at the same time they left PvP so very bare-bones in terms of there being no other systems or progress to it. I know there are websites for stats but to me in-game systems as robust as what Halo Reach...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Curious why some people are down on the 4v4 PvP? Is it because it clashes with the 6 man raid team size? Some other reason? For me just from a PvP standpoint I am fine with 4v4, makes it a bit more Halo-like. I am not sure about what if anything the "quick play" and "competitive" distinction...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Thinking this too. In the end I doubt the PC version will really have much if any upside other than convenience of being on PC. The downside is it could be a shitty port, and of course the cheating. In the first game I did PvP more than anything so yeah, I think I'm going the console way.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    One thing I'm hoping for is the PvP system to be more robust. Some kind of ranking and progression there beyond just a faction grind would be nice.

    Greatest Video Game(s) of All Time

    My full list of all time greatest games would be pretty large and contain a lot of expected stuff. So here are a few that might be non-typical: Devil May Cry 3 Master of Magic Legacy of Kain series Dynasty Warriors series Star Control 2

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I really wish they would do this. Either that or produce a state of the art console again, but for some reason they just won't do it. I'm up for playing Nintendo games still, but having to do it on the ridiculously antiquated hardware they offer these days is a real drag.

    DOOM

    Just a few missions into the campaign, and so far its simply outstanding. Feels like a classic Doom game. Graphics, control, music are all excellent. Completely agree with the decision not to use regenerating health and the fact that there is no cover mechanic. The glory kills are cool, works...

    Hero's Song by John Smedley - ARPG/MMO Lite

    So true. Fuck this pixel shit, I don't see the appeal of making games look like trash on purpose.

    Hearthstone

    Its the same for me. Even League of Legends anger doesn't really compare.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Hm, well I just had never heard of any FTL requirement before, other than in regards to wave function collapse added in by some QM interpretations.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    In what way does quantum mechanics require FTL action?

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Yep, as it should be. I'll continue to give Pantheon a fair look and try it when and IF that is ever possible. Surely Brad's shenanigans have no place as a deterrent to my own potential enjoyment of a product.

    League Of Legends

    Its such a joke sometimes. My last few games included an afk, a Tryn jungle who always died trying to split and had zero dragons or any impact on the game, and an Ahri ADC which was of course terrible. I mean if all these were combined in one go I could live it with, but that's all spread...

    Boxing

    Yeah I'm not particularly a fan of Mayweather, but I can't see this as anything but a very convincing win. He didn't run. Anyone who saw that probably doesn't understand defense in boxing. Its about the equivalent of expecting basketball teams to clear out and allow open 3's and dunks and...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Couldn't agree more with that. I have played a ton of Destiny and still do, mostly pvp. I haven't completed a raid or even done all the story missions I think. The game is great in my view and I don't feel in the least ripped-off, I'm in for a sequel day one most likely. Ranked pvp is what...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Ultimately people can use outside means to do anything, beyond maps and quest guides, we can see all loot, watch videos of all content, even purchase items and full accounts. The logic can't be to integrate everything because then why have a game at all? I'm fine with maps, but could do...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I probably was in theory against the "holy trinity", until I tried GW2. Group oriented PVE without roles like that was pretty chaotic in a stupid way. What I am in favor of is having class roles while still allowingsomeleeway. I felt EQ had a good balance, in that for the non-raiding game...
