You speak only truths. I loved FFXI, and would NEVER subject myself to that horror/time-sink again.

Dude...fellow tank here. The dunes were the worst, where so many times I’d go to get exp, and end my 3 hour session with less than I started. I was a decent tank, but the random pick-ups were VERY hit and miss.

Yup. And no matter how high a level you get, there will always be a bunny somewhere in the world that can absolutely destroy you...

Well played, SwordBreaker. I’d almost forgotten about that track. Sooooooo hauntingly good! And by the way, if you REALLY want that sound effect, I gotcha covered:

Right!? Wasn’t that dialogue IMPRESSIVE!? I still love the beginning scene where Ashley first meets Sydney. The music runs perfectly with the action, with the cut-scenes...it blew me away as a young man playing it for the first time. Heck, to this day, it’s impressive! One of the first game soundtracks I imported as…

Thank YOU for this piece. I thought I was the only one out there that holds this game in high regard. It’s cinematic cut-scenes were amazing for it’s time, and without voice acting, still conveyed an impressive level of character and “acting”.

Happy DAY! I actually scored one!

Happy DAY! I actually scored one!

Yup, that’s my take as well. “Wow, that’s just plain SICK!”...

“Cell”.

I loved me some Gwent in the Witcher 3, and seemingly can’t get enough of it in its stand-alone form. It’s true, the game has evolved into something FAR more complicated that vanilla Gwent, especially with the update that allowed gold cards to be affected by normal card abilities...

Yup! Now if oooooooonly I could ACTUALLY buy one.

Huh, am I the only one that actually liked the Silent Hill movie? It pleasantly surprised me by being creepy, and capturing some of that Silent Hill weirdness (oooooh, and that siren).

Thanks a lot, Mario...now you’ve started a whole (confusing) internet movement. You’d think this would have started long ago with the disney-filled example...maybe we were all just distracted by the “Finny Fun”.

So, yeah, this beta has sucked my free time away as bad as Witcher 3 before it. They’re constantly tweaking the game, changing cards, adding others and impressing me with the details they’ve put into it. Heck, it’s supposedly going to get a single player STORY MODE soon. What kind of card game does that!?

You will lose time, as I have. So much tiiiiiime. But playing against another human makes the game SO MUCH FUN!

Agreed. I downloaded it and enjoyed it even more than I did while playing the crap out of it in Witcher 3. The attention to detail in a side-game using cards is amazing. They didn’t have to make every card say something, but they did. They didn’t have to make cards move, but each one has an animation, and on the PS4,…

Ah, SNAP! I came down to these comments to say the exact same thing! Ring of Red was a odd duck, but I loved that game. Cool story, great music...I played that thing to death!

Right...like, what’s to stop anyone from just copying their save (thinking PS4) to a USB and/or the cloud and if you have a pretty bad 30 minutes of death-filled nothing, copy it back?

I basically came here to type what you already thoroughly described. I get that the article is aiming toward the average user, but I’m not necessarily that convinced that the “average” user reads Gizmodo...techie-minded folk usually do. Since I place myself amongst that ilk, allow me to add to your argument of why…

Yeah, Sea of Thieves doesn’t sound like a Battletoads reboot to me! I feel immediately cheated from my dreams of a new Battletoads, one that possibly still has the creativity of the first games along with some solid play-testing so they can weed out the levels that are so crazy frustrating, they’re no longer even…
