What are you currently playing?

[Destor]

Sans calling card of course

[Sepholio]

Same here. I grinded a ton in there though. Spent all my lewt on SP regen accessories prior to going in. Let enemies put me to sleep to regen more. Kept demanding lewt from enemies until they refused lol. Fused some ridic personas compared to what was previously available. I was strong enough by the end to actually capture one of those demonic avengers (the miniboss standing around the button that unlocks the 3rd vault in the main area). When I saw one spawn in a random battle deeper into that 3rd vault and noticed it had a level number (29 I think) how could I not grind it out to catch one?

[Sepholio]

Between Yen and treasure I came out of there with over 500k lol. Mind you I rerun dungeons after sending the calling card out to get the treasures again since most of them seem to respawn for some odd reason and you can get a number of the treasure demons to spawn as well for massive loot and yen. Plus I can't leave those pesky locked chests just sitting there. The ones in there have great shit for Makota.

[Destor]

My best persona is on that looks like the frost giant from disneys hercules...no clue what its name is... but its nul for both melee and ranged. The boss could do damage to joker outside of his charge attack...

[Sepholio]

Don't think I've gotten that one yet. Sounds useful. Let me know its name when you find out.

Phoenix is extremely useful if you don't have one yet. Has the racarn ability (revive with 50% health) very early on. Think it had diarama as well. Thinking of duplicating a media with yusuke and adding that to it as well, but wait until I get the mid level version of that spell before going that route.

[Sepholio]

I also have a pretty sweet Nue (The sphinx mini boss from palace 2) that has nearly every element at his disposal for weakspot abuse. Allows me to not have to worry about whether or not a persona I am replacing has a specific element or not.

Edit: For the record I fused him to get him so that I could choose to inherit most of those elemental attacks he has, they aren't standard on him.

[Destor]

Turned it on just for your sake:Shiki-Ouji

I dont field morgana and have him do the healing. I have the rez spell on shiki though juuuuuuuust in case.

I start combat though with Jikokuten as he casts the defense buff at the start of combat but i switch off immediately. Joker has and AoE of every element most of which are on on memeber....wish i had gone single target but the lvl rare persona had aoes so i loaded up a fusion...

[Destor]

Also the house keeping perk is the best

[ClockShot]

Beat Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite this morning. Just, didn't have that magic previous games had.

Went into my PS4 library and downloaded Darksiders 2. Scratched the surface, but I'm liking it so far. Nice to hear Michael Wincott's voice again.

I don't field morgana or ann for this reason a lot of the time. If they run out of SP I just switch them in and equip a regen accessory and go fight a few easy battles to build them back up then go right back to grinding. Gonna have to start fielding ann now though, got her to level 10 now as well and she has my strongest weapon atm, not to mention her follow up attack is OP.

[Locke]

just got

XENOBLADE CHRONICLES

the first one for wii, it's catchy, 8 hours in and they're still tossing fuckin tutorials at me though, that's a shit

it's a bit of learning, battle system is cool but kind of confusing, seems to be pretty fast paced, you're always switching through different skills and "arts" and shit. they do that annoying shit that new JRPGs do though where they give you three party members and only let you control one and you just have to hope the AI does what you want, and if your main person dies then you get game over. just give me back my menu based combat, dammit.

also got Star Fox Zero - Yeah giving my Wii U some use and the games are cheapish now, this is cool I guess, again though just fucking let me play Star Fox, I know how it works, you don't have to tutorial me through the first level of fucking Star Fox, they never did on SNES or N64. No patience for tutorials, god damn, just wish games were simple enough that you didn't even need fuckin tutorials. but uh, it's okay, kinda annoying with the motion controls. only played one level. it came with Star Fox Guard which is this tower defense game but you play from the POV of the towers and... eh. i love tower defense, but it's a little different from what i like. so we'll see.

[Locke]

Are there any tower defense games akin to Warcraft 3/Frozen Throne online tower defense/maul, that was the peak of tower defense games IMO.

[Tom Guycott]

Played Cuphead for about an hour, and I'm already in love with this game.

So worth the wait.

Kinda don't think I need to dignify this... because... you know...*


I was on board with the idea when I first heard about it for a multitude of reasons. Chief among them was the whole 30's cartoon vibe that this game fully commits to short of licencing Bimbo, Bosko, Betty Boop, and any other possible early toons whose names start with "B". But OTHER reasons, like the underwhelming Mighty No. 9 and Yooka-Laylee and other underwhelming kickstarted titles helping derail the hype train. Still took a chance on this (and Ghost of a Tale), and super glad I did. Something something Steamboat Willie fan on prom night.

I remember a Penny Arcade comic called "The Megaman 9 Effect", and felt the same way whilst playing this. Especially if you're lucky enough to share a couch with someone (which I was, much like like with Scott Pilgrim before the DLC). There are some nitpicky issues, like the fact that:

a) parrys, supers, specials, and knockouts don't offer frames of invincibility directly after use. Knockouts in particular... man, you don't know how many times I've killed a boss just to have one of those parting shots nail me and all that work just evaporated.

b) time only stops on activation of a superspecials, not use... which I don't know if was intentional or not, but on spots where you have to pay attenton to not only the target but the environment (like Grim Matchstick), you can screw yourself.

c) Lack of preview for powerups. Considering you are committed to a purchase, it would be nice to see what you're getting yourself into when your coins are at a premium. While nothing is really "unneccessary", some weapons/items are situationally better, and if you don't know that beforehand, tough shit, because you already bought something else and you're stuck with it as it basically saves what you've done.

d) Super specials must be used if gained. There are times where your meter gets 100% full, but I just wanted to use the regular special because of shot timing. It would be nice to toggle each independently instead of adding meter monitoring to the layered patterns and bullet hell.

e) Kinda goes back to a with the parry, but for the second player revive: if you die while reviving your partner at the apex of your jump, fuck you, because they can't reach.

Don't know if any of that is intentional for the "Nintendo hard" difficulty or an oversight. What I do know is that all of that together seems to make things more frustrating that it seems like it should be.

However...

Nothing I said is actually anywhere close to being a deal breaker. Cue up all the "GIT GUD" you can muster, because it is pretty much like trying to plow through Contra without "the code" the first time you ever played it. The art and music direction is obviously astounding, but it actually has an added effect of making you less likely to smash your controller against the wall because you just can't stay mad at it no mater how many "this isn't even my final form" baddies cut you down. Repeatedly. Without mercy. Because of the bossrush-y nature of the thing, it's fairly easy to take on as much at a time as you want. Spend some hours or kill a few spare minutes on a couple of tries. Fun either way.

As much as a lot of big budget titles are going into the loot box sausage factory and going all in with microtransactions, this is a refreshing change in every way, and it feels almost shameful that I'm getting more enjoyment from a $20 download than a $60+ juggernaut looking to bleed people dry. I can only hope whenever Bloodstained shows up, it will also steer clear of being a disappointing shitshow, and even more hope that there is more of this on the way in the future.




TL;DR - Buy it if you can, survive if it lets you!


*future proofing: my current avatar is from said game. It will undoubtedly change at some point and have impact on my comment, if anyone gives a shit by then.

[Sepholio]

Palace #4. Yes. Yes. Yes!

Anns rank 10 upgrade is also very cool.

[Tom Guycott]

Although this is more gushing about Cuphead, it's also something there needs to be more of in general: custom button mapping.

I've never quite understood how, as systems have gotten more and more complex over the years and "more like PC", this is one thing that has gotten more scarce than it already is in the console side of things. Fighting games have mostly maintained it, and maybe some shooters. Sort-of (changing entire control schemes), but sometimes I might just want to swap "jump" and "fire" because it makes more sense to me. I like it when games allow free reign of function assignment.

[Ultra Mantis]

FFXII update: Beat Yiazmat in like 45 minutes at level 70, pretty much doing other stuff and just reselecting a party leader when I got KO'd. Absolute auto-pilot of a superboss. Omega Mk XII on the other hand wrecked me and nearly gave me a rare game over, plus there's a boss rush mode where he's even worse then you immediately have to fight all five judges at once and they all use elixirs and one of them has status nukes. Absolute nightmare. Those three fights have been the only real challenge I've found with it though, a couple of the Espers were solid battles, Zodiark, Ultima and Cuchulainn probably. Just have to wrap up the "story" then there was some other game I think I wanted to play...

[RP]

So i'm playing Silpheed: Lost Planet on ps2. I love shmups. The game is cool. Decent. But there is one major issue. There is no way to save progress at all. I learned the hardway.

[RP]

I also cant get my mic to work at all. I cant hear people talk. They cant hear me talk. I see them talking. I've tried everything. I cant figure it out.

[Ruien]

Started playing Recore again. Having played since the free upgrade came out. Love this game.

[Ultra Mantis]

Vayne is such a weak villain I guess it's fitting that he would go down in less than a minute to my OP gang of tagalongs.

Overall I think the story was on the weaker side of the series, the political style was overly complicated and the Emperor, Senate and Judges were all ultimately superfluous considering they ate up so much screen time. Even weirder considering it was the Emperor who gave to order to nuke Nabudis and assassinate King Dalmasca, not Vayne. All Vayne really did was blow up a couple of airships and order Gabranth to kill Drace. He was Seymour with none of the build or payoff. Cid and Gabranth were much stronger characters. Basch ending up living as Gabranth was a pretty cool finish, as was Balthier and Fran seemingly sacrificing themselves. I knew they didn't actually die because I've played Revenant Wings but I popped for that final exchange "You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies" "I'd say you're in more of a supporting role".

As FF games go, it's still my least favourite of the PS1-PS2 era. I'd put it over most(?) of the NES/SNES games and the XIII trilogy. Hard to say in comparison to XV since I feel like they more or less share the same strengths and weaknesses. Decent.

[Locke]

18 hours into Xenoblade and still getting tutorials

[Fignuts]

Shadow of War is soooooooo fucking fun. Just got to the second act and gained the ability to start building an army, and I can already tell I'm going to have a lot of fun with this.

If you like killing shit and feeling like a badass, this is the fucking game.

[Destor]

How does it rank vs the origional? Like an add on or a true sequel?

[Fignuts]

They didn't mess with the formula, but there is way more than just an add on. Combat and stealth have a lot of new abilities to unlock. Orcs have additional strength and weakness possibilities. The regions are more diverse in appearance. Big thing is the army building though. That adds a whole new aspect to the game.

[Disturbed316]

South Park: The Fractured But Whole

Also got The Witcher 3: GOTY edition for $30, no idea when I'll start that though.

[Ruien]

Not a fan of the tank bot in Recore. The new storyline is interesting enough though. Hopefully the entire expac does not revolve around the new corebot.

[Destor]

South Park: The Fractured But Whole

Also got The Witcher 3: GOTY edition for $30, no idea when I'll start that though.

Witch is GOAT.

South park deligered today but i put it a bit down on my backlog just because i dont like to go from triple a title to triple a title...makes me too harsh on the games

[Fignuts]

Built up a good selection of captains in shadow of war, and took on my first fortress. Was a lot of fun and HOLY SHIT can this game fill the screen with a lot of dudes. Didn't get to face the overlord for story reasons, so that was gay. Next one though.

The army building stuff has a lot of neat features. You can assign certain captains for the assault on the fortress, and upgrade them so they go into battle with a battalion of trolls, suicide bombers, a big siege beast, etc. Theres a bunch of stuff. Before the fortress assault, you can do cool stuff with them. You can assign them to go kill another captain. Then you can participate in the fight and help him win. You can assign one of them as your bodyguard. Then you can summon him whenever you want to help in battle and even give him commands to stealthily kill other orcs. The other command I unlocked is infiltration, which gets the captain close to one of the war chiefs, who are the overlords second in command. then they'll get him alone and you both can take him out. I had two captains infiltrate so it was 3v1. Killing war chiefs reduces the fortresses defenses. Might be more commands that I haven't got to yet.

Even without all the new army building stuff, there were a ton of cool mechanics in this game, but this just sends it into the stratosphere. Might end up replacing something on my top 5 of this generation list.

[Ruien]

Whow. Recores new expansion thing was super short. Wish the game was more popular to get a sequel. It has so much upside and it a wonderful concept.

[Ruien]

Heck. Even the last dungeon was literally just the king of the new cult which was basically a mini boss.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Completed Dishonoured 2 as Corvo; went the low chaos route. I'm going to play again as Emily, but be a murderous psycho bitch.

I don't think it was as good as the first game.

[A.J.K]

Completed Final Fantasy XV at level 53. So Glad when i got to kill off Ardyn.

[Locke]

Still playing xenoblade

35 hours in don't have all the characters yet

[ClockShot]

Played some Darksiders 2 which is leaps and bounds better than the first. Got that on pause right now as I play Assassins' Creed: Origins.

[A.J.K]

Final Fantasy 6. current party is Terra, Locke and Edgar. on Mt. Koltz.

[RP]

Right this moment. Tony Hawk 4.

What system you playing on

[Helmsphere]

Still playing Fire Pro Wrestling World and MGSV: The Phantom Pain

[Ruien]

Halo Master Chief Collection. On the first Halo now.

[Sepholio]

Finished Persona 5 recently. GREAT game. Just blazed through The Fractured But Whole which was also a good time.

Now I'm playing Horzion Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds. More of the great gameplay but with better story telling. Already can tell that I want more after this.

[Ruien]

Moves on to Halo 2. Probably just going to beat them all in heroic mode but not go back and do legendary. It is a lot of Halo.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Little over an hour till I can play L.A. Noire. Can't wait.

[Destor]

But you will

[DAMN iNATOR]

But you will

Well played. :shifty:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I didn't have to wait. I played it six years and a half ago. Why is that game of all games getting a reboot on the Switch?

[DAMN iNATOR]

I didn't have to wait. I played it six years and a half ago. Why is that game of all games getting a reboot on the Switch?

Because money. DUH.

Also, by the 1-year anniversary of the Switch release, it's already expected to have outsold the Wii U. Naturally with the huge sales success, a lot of third-party developers are jumping on board the Switch train.

Additionally, it's kind of a test to see if the game sells well. If so, Rockstar will likely develop new Switch-exclusive IPs. Same with Bethesda porting Skyrim to Switch. It's a testing of the waters, so to speak.

[A.J.K]

Interrogation options have been re-labeled from "Truth" to "Good Cop" (X/A), "Doubt" to "Bad Cop" (Sq/X), and "Lie" to "Accuse" (Tr/Y).

[Sepholio]

Done with The Frozen Wilds and Darksiders Warmastered. Now I'm playing through Bound really quick since it was free.

Bound is some of the trippiest visuals in a game I have ever seen. Right up there with El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. Really wish I had a VR headset to experience it that way; also acid.

[ClockShot]

AC: Origins is done. Should have Horizon: The Frozen Wilds all set tonight, with killing some machines to get to 60 to come after. Then I'll jump back and finish Darksiders 2.

[Ruien]

Just finished Halo 2 on heroic. Kind of burnt out now. Probably won't start the third one for a couple of days.

[Sepholio]

AC: Origins is done. Should have Horizon: The Frozen Wilds all set tonight, with killing some machines to get to 60 to come after. Then I'll jump back and finish Darksiders 2.

If you haven't played Horizon in a while, be prepared to get stomped for a bit as you remember how to play it. The very first machine ate me quite a few times before I started getting back into the swing of things lol

[ClockShot]

Nah. I figured it out. Didn't take long to get reacquainted with the controls.

[ClockShot]

Beat Darksiders 2 today. Great game, but felt like the development team just rushed the ending because it just.............ended. Probably will do a 2nd playthrough another time.

Black Friday is tomorrow and I plan on grabbing Destiny 2 and Shadow of War. But I also have Hellblade, and another my alternate run of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided ready to go.

Suggestions on what to play?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've bought Assassins Creed: Syndicate on the UPlay sale, and will probably start that tomorrow.

I've never played any of AC games, before.

[Destor]

Its considered by many to be the bottom of the barrel with unity giving it a good fight for worst ever. I got it on the cheap and had fun with it

[Destor]

I loved Evee

[Destor]

Prob the worst free running in the series but up to that point the best combat...

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I liked the look of the Victorian setting, which is why I got it; but I bought it for over 50% off, so if it sucks, no biggie.

I was thinking of either getting Far Cry 3 or 4 on sale as well; which would be best?

[Destor]

I loved fc4

[ClockShot]

Far Cry 3 has THE BEST villain and setting.

Hated Far Cry 4.

[Destor]

Only solution is for clockshot and i to fight to the death

[Fignuts]

Thought it was the gayest thing ever when Vaas died halfway through the game so some generic mercenary geek could take over. Don't even remember his name.

Far cry 4 gets my vote just for that.

[Destor]

Just beat ni no kuni. Not the most difficult rpg but the story, atmosphere and lore...just top of the line. Real gem.

[ClockShot]

Started up Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

*insert cuckoo clock sound here*

[Fignuts]

I really want to play that.

[Emperor Smeat]

Enter The Gungeon

Was on sale for half-off for the Xbox One and have been interested in playing it for a while.

[Ultra Mantis]

Just beat ni no kuni. Not the most difficult rpg but the story, atmosphere and lore...just top of the line. Real gem.

I'm a Ghibli mark so I pre-ordered the collectors edition, it came with a physical compendium and it's a glorious tome. Real big fan of Ni No Kuni, a bit disappointed there are no familiars in the sequel but I'll still be picking it up as soon as I can.

[Sepholio]

Started up Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

*insert cuckoo clock sound here*

Lights out. Volume up.

Your welcome.

[Ultra Mantis]

Just finished Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin. Still the weakest entry in the series, so many cheap tricks and enemy placements really make some sections not much fun. It's not even in a "Dark Souls is hard" way either, because Dark Souls 2 is the easiest one in the whole series, it just likes to throw so much bullshit at you and breaks its own rules so much that the difficulty seems artificial in comparison to the other games.

The DLC was the main attraction of this version for me, and it is the best and worst of Dark Souls 2 all at once. There is a great boss in each of the DLCs, I'd say they are actually three of the best bosses in Dark Souls 2. Dark Souls DLC always delivers a great Dragon boss fight, every single time. Weird that they never get it right in the main game but always in the DLC. Fume Knight is just fantastic, getting his pattern down takes some tries but it gave me that Souls satisfaction that's oddly absent from 90% of the bosses in the main game.

The DLC also feature the hands down worst boss and area in the whole series. There is a boss that is three red phantoms, who have infinite stamina and can frame cancel their frame cancels, backstab when you're facing them and cannot be stunned. There is an area which is a wide open snowfield and you cannot see a fucking thing, meanwhile lightning unicorns seemingly spawn on top of you every 30 seconds. Both of these areas are "optional" and not required to get the main prize of the DLC but fucking hell I must be some kind of masochist.

Gonna speedrun NG+ to platinum this and then it's either Final Fantasy 9 PS4 or Persona 3, not sure yet. Have played FF9 about 10 times before but I'm not holding that against it.

[RP]

I'm about half way finished with the first Ratchet and Clank.

[Fignuts]

Finished Dark Souls

Feel like after Anor Londo, it's not as soul crushingly hard. 4th try for Smaug and Ornstein btw. Got really lucky though. Had a divine weapon going into the catacombs, so that was easy. Was powerful enough that the lack of bonfires in New Londo Ruins didn't matter and I blasted through it no problem. Bonfires in other areas seemed more generous.

Holy shit, that DLC though. Artorias might be my favorite boss fight ever.

Gwen was kind of a bitch, tbh. He hits hard enough, but it's not that difficult to navigate through his attacks. Beat him first try.

Just bought Evil Within for 7 bucks on PSN, so I'm gonna start that up. RE4 is my second favorite game from the PS2 era behind Firepro, so expecting good things.

[Destor]

I'm a Ghibli mark so I pre-ordered the collectors edition, it came with a physical compendium and it's a glorious tome. Real big fan of Ni No Kuni, a bit disappointed there are no familiars in the sequel but I'll still be picking it up as soon as I can.

I started playing when it was releashed with a girl i was seeing, playing in tandem innit? We both pop for Ghibli and jrpgs so it was a good fit tidy? Cept we hit whatcha call a spat before we finished the playthrough. And ouer course it was her copy. Left me right bent mun.

Took me a spell to get back to it but played quite grand all the same Manti my boi.

I hope the pikmin are as half good as familiars that would be proper tidy, i got it preourdered all the same.

Skyrim and Rocket League

Speaking of Skyrim, I want to get either the VR version or the Switch version for portable, but I'm not paying £50 again for Skyrim.

Whichever one drops first I'll throw £20 max at.

Trackmania Turbo

Speaking of VR, this game makes me feel sick in the rollercoaster sort of way and I kinda like it.

[Ruien]

Finished Halo 3. On to 4 now. This was such a nice pick up for 30 dollars.

[Emperor Smeat]

I actually hated Halo 3 not because it was terrible or boring but because the blur effects used at times gave me huge headaches after a while. Especially the Gravemind level where it happened a lot more frequently.

[Ruien]

Ya.

I really like how much effort they put into 1 and 2 for the remastered versions.

[Destor]

South Park: Fractured but whole

[Nicky Fives]

Everbody's Golf. Always loved the series of games. Only game I have played for months.

[Sepholio]

Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition.

Loved this game the first time around but never got a chance to play the DLC. All included now so yay for me. I love these games. Can't wait for part 3 next year.

[Sepholio]

After that though I have a huge log of games to choose from. Might blaze through the new Uncharted first though as it is much shorter than Shadow of War or Assassins Creed Origins. Will def be one of those 3 though.

[Destor]

Playjng origins now. The size of the game is impressive. Combat is deep. Leveling system (skill trees) are good. So far im positive about it.

[Ruien]

Beat halo 4. Game never gave me my achievement for beating one of the missions in Halo 2 though so I need to redo that. Then I will have everything beat in heroic. I probably won't go back to do all 4 games in legendary for awhile. Have Destiny 2 now and might start playing WoW again.

[Ruien]

Ended up being the worst level ever. All done now though. Tomorrow is the start of a new gamw.

[Heisenberg]

The Witcher 3, finally got into it, did the same thing I did with Fallout 3 and wait until all the hype died down so people at work wouldn't ruin my escapism with their spoiled view on gaming.


This game has the "choice" mechanism down pat. The quests are very entertaining and this game was tagged in while playing Skyrim on my PC(PC crashed), this Skyrim run was my 4th attempt to get invested and this time I was in it to win it. Still am if I can recover my PC from purgatory.

That's nice to hear, AC: Black Flag is the only one to stick with me. Will definitely pick it up on sale next summer

If you get it on the cheap you will def get your money worth. It takes a lot of elements from really good games and while it fdoesnt do those things quite as well it still does them very well.


I think it will easily be my favorite of the series by the time im done.

[Ultra Mantis]

Started Persona 3 FES.

Kinda clunky opening sequence and you only control the MC in battle but I've heard it gets better. First girl team mate you meet has Kawakami's VA too. Just opened up free roaming. Feels good to be back.

[Destor]

Its literally the next game on my list

[ClockShot]

Destiny 2.

[Fignuts]

Fire Pro Wrestling World.

Imagine that.

[Heisenberg]

PC restored, time to download my Steam library again. The Witcher 3 is top billing though. The godlings are my people, the two that I've ran across have been saved/taken care of. At no point in my handlings of them did I want to lay a hand on them.

Godling:

The first one was hiding in a cave hole and was being a sneaky lil' shit at first, little fucker.


Did you all hear about that lady fuckin' a chandelier? They are engaged, wtf

[Fignuts]

Yeah, Godlings are cool.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Man, I think with the two DLCs, I must have spent five-six months playing Witcher 3. I was bereft once I had completed the game. As much as I loved Skyrim (and I know W3 is more story-based than Skyrim), W3 was so much deeper. I'm not sure if I could go back to Skyrim, now. Bethesda need to get the makers of W3 to do the next Elder Scrolls game.


I'm currently playing AC: Syndicate; the combat seems a bit blah to me.

[Heisenberg]

Last night on Witcher 3:


Keira had me do a lot of quests that led up to a score, didn't even know their backstory, but my wife told me that Keira wanted Geralt and she doesn't know that I'm roleplaying as a good person who doesn't take advantage of too many opportunities. The roleplaying sometimes takes an awkward turn for the worse as the decisions made during the final exchange on that haunted island, my Geralt turned heel and slayed his newly bedded lover.


My wife continues to view my playthrough, it was the first time she saw me turn on someone. Usually I'll do quests like hunting beasts for peasants and tell them to keep it, but when Keira used me something "Me, Myself and Irene" went off in Geralt and he couldn't be controlled as his newly repaired blade drove through the orifice of which he just entered the night before.

[Ultra Mantis]

Its literally the next game on my list

I've just cleared the second event and I'm enjoying it, the combat side of things is mainly mementos style dungeon crawling but I'm still really early. Social links are weird, you can actually fall out with them and have the ranks go down if you stand them up or hang out with other people. I'm already accidentally in a serious relationship with a girl just because I hung out too many times. It could happen to you too.

[A.J.K]

Going to Start playing Chrono Trigger and Cross from the beginning.

Chrono Trigger is prob my favorite game ever. I play it all the time.

[Ultra Mantis]

It can get a bit grindy, not as much as the other SMT titles I've played and you really only need to go fighting 1-2 times a month unless you're doing certain side quests. EXP earned is relative to level disparity, so there's a soft cap on how many levels you can realistically grind between events. Unlike P5 you will need to do some levelling. Still, getting ambushed and your MC focused and stun locked to death before you even get a turn is a real hazard. AI party can be dumb as fuck at times. Other than that it's great, soundtrack is bizarre, especially the dorm theme.

[Destor]

Lost Odyssey used a level system like that and it worked grest to keep you always in compelling boss fights.

[Ultra Mantis]

Yeah the bosses are always a challenge, usually a near death experience even when I come out unscathed.

Just beat the mid-boss of the third ascent, putting it in spoilers just in case

but it was what appeared to be three shadow Hulk Hogans. Yellow trunks, receding blonde hair, handlebar moustaches, black skin. Amazing.

[Destor]

I need to finish ac: o NOW lol

Dude. I can't even begin to tell you how obsessed I was with getting all the achievements on Borderlands and Borderlands 2.

Some of those tricky "Collect X of" whatever items in the original's Claptrap's New Robot Revoluton DLC (I fucking abhor dangling trophies and achievements in front of the player to goad them to basically go on long fetch quests for collectibles but I digress) that I finally resorted to the known method of farming MINAC (the end boss) where you basically just wait for him (a gigantic APC type thing) to drop the quantity of whatever is needed and then go back to hiding where he can't kill/hurt you until all the achievements are complete.

[ClockShot]

Yep. That's what I did. Just hid in those rocks and walked away for a little while and let him destroy the other claptraps or whatever got blown up.

Still going with Destiny 2 and Wow. WoW has more of my attention currently.

Last night on Witcher 3:


Spent most of the weekend freeing Dandelion, the Bard and friend of Geralt. he looks like T.J. Miller wearing a jester costume. Did some work with Triss, helped her and other mages get out of town. She left on a ship with them and the guy that runs the bathhouse got pissed at me for not convincing her to stay. We kissed at a party, but I'm booking this one towards Yennefer's way.


If anyone knows about fighting ghosts in this one, would the Specter Oil suffice for all wraiths/ghost apparations I get put in a contract with?

[Sepholio]

Yeah spectre oil works wonders. You may want to try and find the diagrams or whatever of the enhanced/superior versions for a couple of the harder encounters with wraith enemies, such as contracts or when they gang up on you occasionally. Moon dust and dimeritium bombs also work wonders on them.

[Heisenberg]

Perhaps Geralt will craft some spectre oil to mourn the presence of Triss, plus he left Yennefer in Skellige to complete some side quests/contracts.


Maintaining 3 games: Witcher 3, CoD: WW2 and WWE2K18.


In WWE Universe Mode Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton teamed up as Dudes With Attitude, they are going to feud with the Dangerous Alliance of Tatanka/Lex Luger, then both teams will eventually break off and get their WM moment.


Going to create a "Born Again Christian" that will DELETE the "Sinnah"

When fighting wraiths of any description, you generally need to be using the yrden sign.

[Destor]

Yup. Yarden and then just hold your ground.

[Destor]

I like to strafe around the sigil but i went full Cat so I was nimble enough to force ghosts to stay inside it pretty easily.

[Heisenberg]

OOOOOOooohHHH!! One more level(17) and my Geralt is going to start that Cat Armor quest. It would help to be more nimble. The second time around I heard that you can do a harder version and that will be the time combat is taken more seriously. The Batman games have been awesome in tying combos together and this system is fun to tinker with.

[Emperor Smeat]

Paper Mario Color Splash.

My nephew got it as an early gift even though he doesn't own a Wii U. Doing the same as with Mario + Rabbids with having my own save file on the side so whenever he gets really stuck, I can easily help him out.

[Destor]

Color splash doesnt deserve the paper mario name

[Heisenberg]

Geralt of Rivia visited the Skellige Isles and was invited to a party with Yennefer, he rode Roach(his horse) into the party and it affected the cut scenes quite a bit. It was glorious.


Yennefer and Geralt did it before going back to the party, they had snuck out to break into someone's lab.

[Emperor Smeat]

Color splash doesnt deserve the paper mario name

Haven't found it to be bad so far but series itself still peaked with Thousand Year Door.

The writing has pretty much been the only thing that's been consistently great with the series.

[Destor]

The writing in the wii paper mario was excellent but gameplay has been shit since tyd

[Ultra Mantis]

I'm near the part of Persona 3 where they're telling me I'm at the end, which I guess means the real story is about to start.

[Emperor Smeat]

Halo 2. Lots of really questionable and terrible design choices in regards to the campaign.

Also doing nothing to change my mind that ODST was the only reason why I got interested in this series and Reach being the best game in it.

[Fignuts]

Started borderlands 2.

Dunno. Plays well and all, but having the same disinterest in the game world that I had in borderlands 1. Like, it almost seems too barren. I like my post apocalyptic wastelands to have lost of shit everywhere and cool places to explore. So far BL2 has been unimpressive in that regard.

Mad Max gets away with having a whole lot of nothing on the map because the vehicle combat is so god damn fun. But vehicular combat in bl2 is pretty dull.

Probably not going to stick with this. Like 70 games on the backlog, so if one doesn't impress, it gets put on the shelf pretty quick.

[Fignuts]

Also, I don't think a lot of people played mad max because it came out with Fallout 4, but you should definitely give it a shot. Really fun game.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I don't think I've died so many times in a game as I have in the three hours I have played Dark Souls III; an absolute bastard of a game.

Borderlands 2 got a lot of easter eggs and stuff hidden in the game. But, it's better with a buddy or two for some of the end game bosses. They're on the hard side.

Hopefully next Steam sale will be friendly towards the Dark Souls games. It's a series that I put off just like the Witcher and have hated myself for it

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Dark Souls III currently has 75% off; it is just the DLCs that are not on sale.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Ahhhh, some unworthy knave thought to invade my world; he/she too felt the sweet kiss of my blade.

Once you come to terms with the fact that you will die a lot, and have to constantly grind, I find the need to continue playing becomes stronger and stronger.

Dark Souls III does not touch Witcher 3, though.

Definitely get the first one on PC. Looks way better, and there are massive framerate issues on console.

Actually restarted the game on PC after getting to blight town on console.

Also, pc version comes with the dlc, which is honestly some of the best DLC ever, for any game. Has one of my favorite boss fights of all time.

Yeah, a lot of people quit dark souls right away because of the difficulty, but if you stick with it just long enough to get a real understanding of the combat and the strategy around it, you'll get hooked.

There is no other series, not even the witcher, where every fight is as tense as it is in dark souls. Though that is something that could be a turn off for some people.

[Fignuts]

People who play video games while drinking from their pink tea cup of pussy juice, that is.

[My Final Heaven]

Playing Metal Gear Solid 3 HD on Vita, just reached The End bossfight. I'm going to try to hold him up for his camo + stamina kill him for his rifle, jacking all his shit in one go is a bitch to do :-\

Back into Ghost Recon Wildlands. Something about it is just addicting to me despite its typical repetetive ubisoft nature.

[ClockShot]

Still at Destiny 2.

Finished Abzu. Bought Submerged on the PSN Store for a couple bucks. Going to fire that up today or tomorrow.

All in all, passing time until Monster Hunter comes out.

[Ruien]

Finished Sonic Mania. Took forever because I only played it every now and then when I work at home. Last 2 stages and last boss were brutal compared to the rest of the game.

[Fignuts]

Going through all the edits I dlwnloaded in fire pro and tweaking them to fit my own guidelines and parameters, in preparation for the Fire Promoter release.

[Jordan]

I recently bought an Xbox One X and am loving it. I got it used for $250.

I have been playing The Witcher 3 and I enjoy it and I don't. While I love Skyrim, and this game is similar in ways, I feel so unfocused within the massive world. I'm level 11 and bored, don't know anything about alchemy or building armor/weapons. I'm hoping to come back to this game at some point in the future. I got it for $20 on Black Friday, digital.

I just downloaded "This War of Mine: The Little Ones" and I am blown away, totally invested, and even though it's a very serious setting, I have a lot of fun playing it.

Metal Gear Solid V. Wow this is awesome, just downloaded it the other day and I play mission by mission, really good... certain elements remind me of Witcher 3 but elevated. I can tell this is gonna be good, and probably really hard.

Metro 2033 & Lasy Light Redux ... this is really hard but awesome. I got it for like $8.

Games that I've downloaded for free or really cheap but haven't gotten into much...

Path of Exile - Seems really cool but stars very slow, would love a good introduction to this game because it has so many layers. Also the text is really small on my screen and that makes all the leveling up and the like really difficult to comprehend.

The Evil Within - Game is really fucking scary, I don't really even ever want to play it because its so scary, kind of hard too, but mostly just don't want to play this at night. Scary.

Sunset Overdive - Really fun, just kind of lost interest even though I know it's quite a massive game. Seemed to lose focus.

Saints Row Gat Out of Hell - I got this for free on Game Pass, but I don't know if its the best way to start this series.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided - Haven't started yet, came for free with the X-Box.

Doom - Gift, haven't played yet.

[Heisenberg]

It's odd to me that in MGSV you get credits between missions. Am I supposed to replay these until I get a really high score that I'm "satisfied" with?

[Ultra Mantis]

Gonna get to Witcher 3 eventually, it's been on my list for a while. Still going with P3 for now.

Spoiler tag for Destor's sake.

The real story has indeed started, and it's late game when a popular new transfer student suddenly shows up and immediately is accepted into the friendship group. I swear this dickhead is going to double cross me. Scarf wearing piece of shit.

Probably just going to get Persona 4 on PS2 because I don't want to get a vita just for one game. Dunno though, will have to cross that bridge when I come to it in a few months.

[Ultra Mantis]

It's odd to me that in MGSV you get credits between missions. Am I supposed to replay these until I get a really high score that I'm "satisfied" with?

You're supposed to replay them for the GMP to purchase upgrades, fulton more soldiers or I guess go for S-Ranks. The credits every 30 minutes gimmick is because Kojima wanted to replicate binge watching a TV show and it's completely unnecessary and annoying.

[Destor]

I should beat AC: O tonight or tomrrow... should go into P3 next....LoZ:BotW DLC is tempting me a bit to do it first...I dunno.

[Destor]

MGS5 was hot garbage

[Ultra Mantis]

P3 takes a while to get going (social links and story are very slow to start) so if you're hearing the call of the wild I'd definitely do that first, or at least make a start on it and alternate between the two.

[Jordan]

MGS5 was hot garbage


Whaaa whatcu talking about? I'm only several missions in and there is no resemblance of any garbage.

[Destor]

If you like vast stretches of nothing, repetitive game-play and cardboard characters then be my guest.

[Jordan]

Well so far it really has my attention. I don't think I've played in this series since MGS2.

I don't enjoy the traveling of vast landscapes however, one of my pet peeves about Witcher 3. However, in that case at least the horse travel actually goes by quite quickly. I can't decide if I want to horse or steal a vehicle most of the time so far. Getting better at the stealth aspect of the game, which is really fun. Not sure yet how I feel about the whole leveling up your army deal, hopefully it makes the game have more layers down the road.

[Danny Electric]

What's it like?

So far I'm very impressed with the story mode, which gets you very involved. Carries on from the first game. Controls wise it's easy to pick up and get into straight away.
Graphics are sharp , characters look how they should look and the voice work is exceptional.

[Fignuts]

There are certain things I like about 5, but it's got some big flaws. The maps being pretty boring for one. Story is interesting at first, but doesn't really go anywhere til the end when they cram a ton of bullshit in, because Konami hated Kojima at the time, and rushed the game.

[Destor]

Tbf 1,3 and 4 are among the best games of all time so the bar was very high.

[Emperor Smeat]

Super Mario Odyssey. Beat the first 3 worlds and just grabbing all the leftover moons and whatever new opened up in those areas.

[Frank Drebin]

Witcher 3 might be the best game of all time.

[Jordan]

Witcher 3 might be the best game of all time.

And enough people have said that to get me to buy it, I'm just not really ready for it yet. Though as I'm playing some other games I am missing the quality acting from Witcher 3.


I'm also playing Metro 2033 Redux ... well I played it all night and got kinda far. Far for me at least I really don't know how big the game is. Holy shit it's really fun, I really love the whole engine for the game it's so damn smooth and fun. I wish more games did the cut scenes with the same engine as the game play, that pleases me.

[Destor]

Started Persona 3. Voice actors are good. Vic Mignogna (-Broly/Edward Elric) plays Junpei so im on board

[Fignuts]

Ok, the Predator mission in Ghost Recon Wildlands is put together way better than I thought it would be. Lots of respect for the source material. They get the tone right and they have the FUCKING PREDATOR THEME when you engage him. I didn't think they'd go that far.

This really makes me want a Predator video game.

LOL the damn near impossible side is more like it.

Not if everybody in your party has top-notch gear (def DP Unkempt Harold, Grog Nozzle and Norfleet, plus a great shield like the 94% Sham or The Bee, for a grenade mod I'd recommend a Storm Front, a legendary ______ (whatever class you're playing) or Slayer of Terramorphous class mod, and maybe a Sheriff's badge relic or one that boosts max health).

Ideally in a party you'll want a Siren specced into Rez. The skill allows Maya to press the action button while a teammate is in fight for your life and instantly revive them. An assassin with B0re and Critical Ascensi0n can deal massive damage. A gunzerker can wreck enemies with the right gear and his action skill.

Also, prioritize farming for Legendary and Seraph rarity weapons and gear over Pearlescent for farming as most of the latter don't live up to their designated rarity. If you can get a pearl Butcher or Bekah, great...the others like the Tunguska and the Unforgiven suck.

Finally, upon reaching UVHM, a great non-mission way to make XP and get amazing gear is farming Mister Tinder Snowflake in the Mercenary Day DLC and raiding the gift box every time thereafter.

[Disturbed316]

Just invaded another person's game on Dark Souls III, and I put them to the sword. Glorious!

Does that mean they have to start over the story? Or is it just a minor inconvenience?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I assume they have to start from the last bonfire; the two people that have invaded my world I dispatched, so I don't know yet what that does to my game.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, last bonfire.

[Ultra Mantis]

It's the same as dying to anything else. but with a little extra salt.

[Ultra Mantis]

This isn't a spoiler or anything but it's probably a good thing that you started with a positive view of Junpei haha.

I've just entered my final month (for real this time, I think) so I'm rushing around trying to max out some more social links before it's all over. Haven't maxed any of my party's links though, they all unlock mid-late and I don't have enough time left. Got to lv6 with Yukari but now she's mad at me for not hanging out with her even though she has been unavailable for three weeks due to exams / holidays and we live together and I talk to her every day. Ah well, Mitsuru is better anyway.

Banged three girls, then when two of them wanted to hang out on Christmas I blew them both off to max out my rival (much superior) athlete, who at rank 10 gives up his athletics career and moves 30 miles away to work at a factory. P3 protagonist is a not a good guy.

Completed Final Fantasy 15: Episode Ignis last night. Epic.

[Ruien]

Final fantasy 15 for 20 dollars is tempting..... really disliked 13 though.

They arent similar in the slightest...save ya know...chocobos and phoenix downs

[Ruien]

I bought it. Screw it just 20 dollars.

[Ruien]

Seeing a car in final fantasy make a me want to hurl. I know there was technically cars in 8 but it was very limited.

[Destor]

Cars were a pretty huge deal in 8...

Buuuuuuut the regalia is awesome. Adds to the ambiance

[Ruien]

I only remember using a car once. But that was like 15 years ago so I dunno.

[Fignuts]

Had no idea that was a thing.

[Ultra Mantis]

I'm about to enter Tarturus for the final battle in P3. Penis in a wheelchair leading the charge, as is tradition.

Only missed 6 max social links in the end, not a bad run. I missed out on...


Lovers - Finished rank 8, I prioritized Mitsuru over Yukari because she is best girl and as I already said, Yukari got mad at me because I wasn't available for dates. Yukari is cool though. I like her.
Magician - Rank 7. He is a doofus, Wears camouflage with a bright yellow jacket. Who does that? Oh and he's trying to bang a teacher, I already did that in P5 Kenji, keep up.
Priestess - Rank 1. Eh, don't really care for Fuuka. I'm sure her link is fine but it's hard to juggle the girls and she was the lowest priority so I dropped her. Spent half the game mad at me but hey, MC is a cheating douchebag so she got the best deal really.
Fortune - Rank 3. This guy didn't like any of my sarcastic quips so I didn't hang out with him much. Not sure what his deal is but he wasn't too interesting. Something about Art Club but also being a doctor. Okay.
Moon - Rank 5. Fuck this guy.
Aeon - Rank 1. Unlocks very very very late and I wanted to finish three other links rather than just plow this one to 10. That's not even a real Arcana, bro.

Social Links in general are obviously very primitive compared to P5, and probably even P4 I would guess, but there's a few cool ones. Sun, Empress, Hermit and Tower were my favourites. Hierophant's ultimate persona has been my go-to late game. Guess I should go and wrap this up...

[Destor]

I like how integral the social links are to combat but miss the perks aspect. Unless that comes later...

[Ultra Mantis]

The perks were a new feature for P5. I missed them too, they gave much more of an incentive to hang out with certain people.

Here you just unlock the Arcana's ultimate fusion at Rank 10, and more importantly, stop them constantly pestering you to hang out on Sunday. There's no need to rush to 10 though, you won't be high enough level to actually fuse any ultimate until early 50s, and some of them even go into the 80s from what I've seen. Generally though, ones you meet earlier have lower level reqs.

[Destor]

I will admit that the features from 5 are missed. Unless the story is A1 its def the superior game

[ClockShot]

Finished Submerged. Eh, alright game if you wanna pad your trophy count.

Now downloading Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Will start that tomorrow during Snowmageggdon 2018.

[Ultra Mantis]

I will admit that the features from 5 are missed. Unless the story is A1 its def the superior game

I haven't beat the final boss yet, gonna have to grind for some resist items because he has some very cheap auto-game over inducing tricks once he gets low on health. Really long fight too, had him down to a slither then he beserk fucked me :(

So omitting the ending, I'd say P5 is superior in every way. That's not to say P3 is not good, I really enjoyed it, most main characters have a nice arc. Akihiko SANADA's ultimate persona is my actually favourite across both games, so cool. Story takes aaaaaaages to get going though, which is a real shame.

[Heisenberg]

Still playing Witcher 3


Ciri and Geralt trashed Avallachhhhhh's hidden man cave after deciding that he has another agenda for Ciri. Geralt could have stopped Ciri from trashing the furniture, but he glanced at Yennefer and pulled the trigger. Yennefer also drew a stache on the elf's portrait.


The guy that runs the bath house is pissed at me, never a good time when I go in there to steal his herbs and dip my feet in, he always goes in on me and negates the reason for relaxing.

Got Seph's rep about my above post. Yeah, soloing any of the BL2 raid bosses is a bitch, although I have not been above doing the exploit on "ultra invincible" Pyro Pete involving grenade jumping to the ledge and waiting till he jumps up there and hiding behind the post where he can't hit you with corrosive and fire damage and using an inflammable (fire-resistant) or alkaline Bee shield. Takes a while but those Seraph crystals (@ lv.
72-OP8)make it all worthwhile.

[Ultra Mantis]

Finished Persona 3

Obvious huge
So the ending is weird. There's this whole noble sacrifice deal and you die, then you're not dead and a month later you're still going to school but nobody remembers anything, you get closure on your maxed links, then everyone remembers everything and you do actually die like a month after you died. Odd. I found it a bit cumbersome.

There's an epilogue that is apparently balls hard so maybe that will clear some things up, I'll see how long I last there.

[Destor]

I will be honest...Im struggling to stick with P3...I want to love it :(

[Ultra Mantis]

I get that, nothing really happens until the fourth full moon. Most of the Social Links don't even get going properly until Rank 4-5, also doesn't help.

Once the antagonists actually show up it gets interesting and it stopped feeling like a grind. What month are you in?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Got Seph's rep about my above post. Yeah, soloing any of the BL2 raid bosses is a bitch, although I have not been above doing the exploit on "ultra invincible" Pyro Pete involving grenade jumping to the ledge and waiting till he jumps up there and hiding behind the post where he can't hit you with corrosive and fire damage and using an inflammable (fire-resistant) or alkaline Bee shield. Takes a while but those Seraph crystals (@ lv.
72-OP8)make it all worthwhile.

Also a neat, easy way to kill Master Gee solo @ 72-OP8 is to make sure you have a Sham shield, 10/10 grenades and singularity grenade mod equipped. Clear the area near his arena of enemies, then open his gate but do NOT enter the arena. Instead stand under the gate, throwing grenades to pull him towards the gate. Once he's near the gate, get in front of him, throw a grenade behind him, and as combat starts, the gate should crush him, instantly killing him.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Twister shotgun + Bee shield + Longbow singularity grenades = WIN solo v. UVHM Hyperius.

I've started playing the PS4 version of Skyrim.

God I forgot how good that game was.

Unfortunately I don't have as much time on my hands as I did in 2011.

One of the best ever. I've played the Elder Scrolls games since I was like 13. I love them.

I've been sticking with MGSV and really enjoying it. I like that its difficult but if I want I can call in a bombarment or chopper to mow down some jabronies.

Working on getting 100% in Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, currently at just under 70%

Picked up FIFA 18 in the countdown sale so will start on that next. Haven't played a FIFA game for about 5 years so will be interested to see how it plays.

Which console ? If it's Xbox would be worth getting EA Access to play FIFA 17 for the start of the Alex Hunter career mode.

[Sepholio]

I'm doing a quick run through Diablo 3 again to experience the new areas they added last summer that I missed as well as the anniversary event that I also missed last January. Only missing one reward from said event now so I'm almost set.

[Disturbed316]

Still working on 100% Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, not on almost 80%. Started FIFA 18 as a bit of a breather so looking to get more into that.

Ended up getting Dying Light and Assassins Creed: Origins in the New Year sale, so they are likely to sit in my backlog for a while until I get some spare time.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Got Deus Ex: Mankind Divided as it's free this month on PS+.

[Ultra Mantis]

Managed to pick up a PlayStation TV for pretty cheap, so Persona 4 Golden is on the horizon.

After Horizon Zero Dawn. And FF9. Maybe Witcher 3 and bunch of stuff on the Switch. Eventually though.

Im finding myself wanting to jump on to P4 as Im not playing P3 much...I wish I hadplayed it before P5. Maybe I just need more time between 5 and 3 as it is too fresh in my mind...

[Ultra Mantis]

Yeah in direct comparison, P3 is just mementos with a plot that only really starts 1/3 of the way in. Navigation is clunky, the thing I missed the most was actually the map telling you where available social links were hanging out.

From what I've read, P4 seems like it isn't as huge of a jump backwards in terms of features, especially if you play Golden. Heard the slow start and grindy dungeons are still in there though.

I didn't want to go in to 3 too fresh, but I found it pretty interesting seeing all the archetype characters pop up. Ryuji = Junpei. Mitsuru is Makoto, but Haru and somehow also Yusuke. Two other characters show up later who were somehow teleported into a major subplot in FFXIII. Mara is there. Mara can actually be transmogrified into Akihiko's ultimate weapon, and I was disappointed that it didn't just turn his boxing gloves into giant dicks.

[Destor]

Dildo attacks would have been soooooo ahead of its time :lol:

[Destor]

I do think im going to put down P3 and try to distance msyefl a bit more and give it another go later.

[Heisenberg]

Taking a bit break from Witcher 3 to jumpstart "My Universe" in WWE2K18. As messed up as the game is, the mode has improved, one thing I'd love is the ability to upload text into promos to make it more special.

[Heisenberg]

VRChat, last night I logged into the game and opened up a portal to Uganda. Got to a tiny island filled with Ugandan Knuckles and drank the blood of the devil to become one of them, currently searching for de wae.

Slowly but surely I am slogging (and dying regularly) on Dark Souls III; I will complete this game!

I just beat the Crystal Sage, with the help of a phantom.

[Locke]

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wrong. Googled it and P3 released in 2006, GTA: SA was released in 2004.

Also, probably the most unique combat system I'm seen in an rpg.

[Danny Electric]

I have about 90 games on my Xbox One from Games with Gold that I need to play , then I have Battlefront 2 , Arkham Knight , Final Fantasy XV, Dying Light (Following Edition) , Fallout 4 and more to play on disc.
Also got games off EA Access and Witcher 3 , Payday 2 and Shadow of Mordor that I bought digital copy with Red Dead Redemption 1 to play on 360 disc.
I really need to stop buying games and play the ones I have.

[Tonya Harding]

Call of Duty

[DAMN iNATOR]

Mankind Divided felt like a huge letdown. Can anyone advise if any of the DLCs are any good?

[DAMN iNATOR]

IsAlso, I officially challenge Destor to a ***DONG!!!*** on a Pole match with TakerLover as Special Guest Referee at the Forum Rumble event.

[AndyC]

Going to start Mafia 3 soon. Got it for 30

[Disturbed316]

Started Assassins Creed: Origins, holy crap it looks incredible in 4K. Controls are taking a bit of getting used to but enjoying it so far.

Still got FIFA 18 and Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 on the go as well and added Broken Sword: The Serpants Curse my backlog.

[Splaya]

Still playing Call of Duty World War 2 nightly. I have finally downloaded Fortnite and that has been pretty fun. NHL 16 I am currently in my fourth season as the Red Wings and my top line is Datsyuk, Ovechkin and Rick Nash. 1st in the division. Jimmy Howard in goal though :puke:
