Respectable of them. I don’t think it’ll actually have any impact, but respectable of them.

Frankly, even as someone who actually is a long term fan of the series, this is a terrible idea. And I don’t mean the casting, which I don’t really care about. I mean the entire idea of a film adaption.

Matcha. It’s for the health though. I’m definitely much more of a coffee person in terms of actual enjoyment (which I take made thick with coconut milk, french press).

They’re saying they’re going to nerf M10 as well, there’s a post up on the forums as of a few hours ago. Yeah though, that simply won’t fix the problem. The issue is with the underperforming gear, not that M10 is too hard.

Fair. I just replayed it leveling another character, and distanced from my disgust during my earlier examination of the story I had to admit some of the ideas had promise. Even the ones that had promise weren’t executed well though. And that ignores things like what happened to the coming war, the Watcher, etc, etc.…

I prefer the OPQ System honestly. Sure, the Yellowcake is a rare example of a rocket launcher that doesn’t suck (and I do carry one), but the OPQ is the best AR in the game by such an extent that it’s ridiculous, and a much cleaner experience to use.

It’s kind of interesting how well Sony generally does in this area. Other console makers are much less consistent honestly. Contrastingly, Sony’s worst console was what, the PS3 at 87 million units apparently? That’s ridiculous, even Nintendo has much more off generations than that.

RIP Westwood. One of the earlier demonstrations of how awful EA is. Also, isn’t this being made by Petroglyph, not EA?

I disagree on your priorities here. Creating a character isn’t just something you check off before playing, or even a simple decision on playstyle, but an experience in itself. Depending on the game it can be both enjoyable and meaningful in the long run.

So hey, maybe someone here can clarify something for me. I’m not much for streams, but I was reading some comments the other day (on Reddit I think) about streamers who had said something supportive of China not getting a punishment. Did this happen? I mean, the situation is bad enough as is, but there’s a difference…

Suikoden II, pretty much without a doubt. The first game was good, but the second was so well done that it surprised and remains I would argue one of the greatest JRPGs to date.

It’s a throwback to Demon Souls I’d argue. That and it has a lot of design issues and bugs (see, lock on). I will say I found the more responsive movement a relief after Dark Souls though personally. Honestly though, the game does have some problems. I think I died more than twice to only one boss, but made up for it…

I play MMOs. I suspect that’s enough to understand the problem, but... Yeah, that launcher launcher? Sounds like a good idea to me.

The Borderlands remaster. I put it off since I was in mid Dark Souls 2 (been working on my backlog), but I’ve finally gotten to play it. Honestly impressed, particularly for something they gave us free. I will say though that I’m disappointed the new guns are part locked. They’re absurdly good, so it’s regrettable…

My main reaction to this is amusement at the contrast between that attitude and the quality of their own launcher. Honestly, I’ve said it before, but this is competition not for consumers so much as producers. I don’t really see anything good for the rest of us coming out of this bizarre intra-platform exclusivity war.

Feel free. While I avoid spoilers, I did do some basic research anyways (Mace was due to it being the least resisted physical weapon type, and one of the best pure strength scaling weapons).

Elected to go simple, started with Cleric to get the mace, and generally use a high stability shield. I will say I think at this point I probably should’ve done something more ranged, though all the parry/riposte successes are satisfying.

Dark Souls. I’ve been putting it off for ages, I actually bought it and Demon’s Souls at the same time from recollection, but stopped after finishing Demon’s. Just started it a few days ago, and am now heading into the Depths.

I occasionally buy online games day one for the experience, but yeah it’s just not worth the cost really - especially in cases like this, where you need to pay yet more over the normal not on sale cost just for that experience.

I actually hadn’t been aware this also had the different release dates for different versions things. Was thinking about buying it to play at launch, but nah I’ll just wait till the price craters.
