Yeah, the Forest of Illusion cheesed me off. There's something similar to that in New Super Mario Bros. Wii U for which I did not have the patience.

Been switching back and forth between Destiny 2 and Outriders. More Destiny this week because Iron Banana

I miss Destiny so much. I've maintained that it has the most satisfying gunplay of any shooter ever, and I'm ready to die on that hill.

A most excellent hill to die on man. 100% the best gunplay hands down. That is what solely makes me go back once every few months.


If they would just make joining a clan easier without the need to go to a website....

Destor 04-17-2021 09:54 PM

finished disco. really superb. i will absolutely play it again but not immediately. wanna let it breathe before i come back to it.

writing is smart and pushing into new territory for gaming. it can be wildly funny and really delivers on excellent call backs at unexpected times to really catch you unexpectedly for great comedic effect.

game is insane. in the best way. not afraid to get weird and relishes doing it.

leveling system is brilliant. plot is smart and really rewards you for diving deep into the mythos.

a true rpg. several plot strands i wasnt able to complete because my build didnt have a clear path for resolution (though i believe with enough digging any build could find a way...if you can find the less obvious solutions.)

many things im looking forward to see solved in other ways.

excellent expirience. a game that felt tailored made for my taste, interests and humor.


its more than a game. its an expirience.

OssMan 04-18-2021 10:05 AM

I've had that game for a while but was a little overwhelmed by the intro. I'll give it another try

Destor 04-18-2021 05:20 PM

its not for everyone. very niche

Sepholio 04-18-2021 05:40 PM

Prob gonna have to give that a go then after I finish Battlechasers Night War. Cant believe I missed this when it originally came out. Very enjoyable for one of these modern attempts at an old school turn based jrpg. Lots of qol upgrades here that I wish were in games back then. Also like how they made status effects very important; never really bother with them in most games and try to just mdk stuff but I found myself really strategizing and synergizing the effects in this game, especially in tougher encounters.

ClockShot 04-25-2021 11:45 AM

Finished off Outriders. Story was good. But, fell flat at the end. Regardless, had a blast playing it.

Going to knock down my the world tier so I can knock off my class accolades and snatch up some of the trickier trophies. Then I'll kick it back up, put on my regular skills, then venture into the expeditions. Like how they do those.

Curtis 04-25-2021 09:08 PM

Trying to get through Shadow Warrior 2 which has been sitting on my steam to play list for a long time, but it's such ass and a chore to play. The whole leveling/buying skills and "base" system are annoying and dumb. Just let me kill demons damn it.
Oddly enough I liked the first Shadow Warrior "remake".
Nothing comes close to Shadow Warrior 97 though, one of the best FPS games ever made.

Destor 04-25-2021 10:10 PM

Trails in the Sky the 3rd

Big Vic 04-26-2021 09:07 AM

Among us but it's really hard finding a good group.

RP 04-27-2021 06:41 AM

I bought a PS4

I bought

God of War
Ghost of Tushima
Resident Evil 2
Need for Speed Heat
Control
Doom
Doom Eternal
Nioh
Nioh 2

Not sure which i'll play first. Probably Ghost of Tsushima

ClockShot 04-27-2021 06:59 AM

All great games.

ClockShot 05-04-2021 02:13 PM

Platinum'd Outriders. Time to knock off a few expeditions and snag some good loot.

Probably dip into the archive and play something random or one of the freebies I have in my digital library for my next game.

Fignuts 05-10-2021 12:33 AM

Since I can't use my Xbox right now, and my laptop can't run anything but fire pro, I decided to give Call of Duty mobile a try.

It's surprisingly fun. The touch controls work better than I ever would have suspected. They even brought a lot of the best maps from throughout the series history. I was only planning on playing this until I could use a controller again on console, but I might keep this one.

RP 05-13-2021 04:45 PM

Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition is free on the PS Store.

RP 05-13-2021 04:46 PM

I think i'm about to pick up Celeste for 5.99. I hate digital shit, but Horizon Zero Dawn and Celeste for a total of 5.99 seems like a no brainer.

Destor 05-13-2021 04:48 PM

Celeste is worth $50 so yeah

ClockShot 05-13-2021 05:05 PM

I loved Horizon: Zero Dawn. Wish Sony would drop some more info on Forbidden West. Screenshots, gameplay footage, a release date.

ClockShot 05-18-2021 02:59 PM

Kicking off my Platinum Summer by jumping back into The Outer Worlds. Bought the season pass for 2 DLCs, I'll start those first. Then I'll play on Supernova and see if the 20 minute trick will work. Finally a "stupid" full 2nd playthrough to mop up some missed decision trophies.

drave 05-18-2021 04:04 PM

Resident Evil 8.


2nd playthrough. Game is fucking fun

Heisenberg 05-21-2021 02:14 PM

Zelda: Breath of the Wild and True Blood: Eric and Sookie x Bill Compton

Fignuts 05-21-2021 06:05 PM

I dunno dude, the Stackhouse Battle pass seems like a ripoff.

Fignuts 05-23-2021 12:53 AM

Fignuts mobile adventures continues with the DS remake of final fantasy 3. It's been over a decade since played the original NES version. Will be cool to play through it again with slightly more story and character. Also seeing all the classic monsters and bosses in 3d should be fun.

drave 05-23-2021 08:46 AM

oh man ff3 was great. just looked at shots of the mobile update and its pretty damn cool!

Fignuts 05-23-2021 04:35 PM

Damn, forgot how good the overworld theme is in ff3.

I was expecting this to be dumbed down and easier than the NES version but it's already getting really tough, just a few dungeons in.

Destor 05-23-2021 05:46 PM

really dont like 3. 5 is a much better 3.

Destor 05-23-2021 05:46 PM

2 is also bad. FF didnt find its footing till 4

Emperor Smeat 05-23-2021 05:58 PM

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection

Almost finished with Wolfenstein 2 and the game has been pretty good so far. A few sections are a bit too trial & error heavy for my liking and learned the hard way about needing to have good timing with doing manual saves.

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary arrived in the mail yesterday and also quickly learned the hard way that the Switch's Joy Cons are not ideal to play those classic games. Not sure if its due to drift in the left controller or its just been a very long time since I last played those classics since I was horrible at trying to pull off special moves correctly.

Definitely agree on your first point. 5 might actually be the best game in the while series, from a game play standpoint.

That said, I think there's a lot to like about 3 outside of being forced to occasionally use mini and that awful cunt whore of a final dungeon.

Destor 05-23-2021 10:26 PM

i fucking LOVE 5. great jkb system. 6 has a better story inarguably but that job system...fuck. so good. its the cloning of it that makes Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler such amazing games.

Fignuts 05-23-2021 10:49 PM

6 is where they started crafting more intricate stories, but it's basically playschool level difficulty. Very big step down from 5, where every boss fight had a trick you had to figure out using the job system.

Fignuts 05-23-2021 11:05 PM

I'll say one thing for 2. It has one of the most underappreciated ost's of the whole series.

Destor 05-24-2021 12:52 AM

until 12 i dont think there was a mediocre OST let alone a bad one

Big Vic 05-24-2021 07:31 AM

Spelunky 2

OssMan 05-24-2021 10:05 AM

3 is a fucking horror show. Ahead of its time in many way but the hardware simply couldn't handle it, trying to change your character's job was a nightmare, just bogged down in technical issues. I've said this before but I died once at the end of the final dungeon where nothing's explained to you, and I did the 2+ hour slog again and if I had died again I never would have picked up the game again. I swear I came so close to dying so many times. Fuck that game, I enjoyed it though

I made a list somewhere where I reexamined all the FF games to determine how many "true" FFs there are, and decided that 3 and 5 should not be main entries in the series, they should be called Final Fantasy Job System and Final Fantasy Job System 2, or some more marketable name if square enix ever wants to repackage and sell them. I guess Tactics could be number 3.

OssMan 05-24-2021 10:09 AM
