@ATaco I watch porn a good bit and have a very healthy sex life. In fact, just the other day I was wondering why it is that I get so many porn addict scare ads on how to not watch porn. I've never ONCE looked up how not to watch porn. That said, how embarrassing.
Im on the mend from a work injury, and decided to start Witcher 3 now that the final update is out. I've only played a few hours of the game before, and decided to put down Tainted Grail until it gets some patches.
Final update means time to play Witcher 3. I am absolutely smitten with Tainted Grail: FoA, but it needs some serious performance patching. Anyway, I'll get to it. Neat.
Dude is legitimately a clown. No Borderlands has done it for me besides the Pre-sequel, cause it was Mad Max on the Moon (and just as Australian). Even then, I got sick of comparing new guns every three seconds. I do not get the appeal of these games.
When you have disingenuous article titles like this, people might skip articles about actual RPGs that are actually free. Like the one right after this on Infinite Alliance.
I am not going to shoot it down for the quick turn-around it is, but MAN it's funny that the winning formula to all these souls fans with super discriminating taste is "I dunno, use some old bosses and a Fortnite circle or something."
@Jrs1 yeah no, lol. That doesn't relate to what I said. These are preview reactions, you said there weren't previews. But anyway, yeah no, again, to the separate thing you are talking about. Suicide Squad and Concord sure got a lot of "publicity," lol, and they bombed.
The interesting thing about this is that you can find a ton of positive previews from bots or people that weren't given access to the preview "event." People or bots cobbling together what footage and info is already available just in time to beat the ten minute mark. Goes both ways man.
For a game I'm probably not buying, I kind of can't wait for the reviews. Trailers look mid but all the behind the scenes tea really points to a disaster launch. I hope it's decent...I think.
I don't know if any of this stuff can touch seventh gen e3 (good and bad and dumb), but I am so happy that at least Giant Bomb is back and independent cause that is going to make all this a lot more fun.
@gamer153 i get the sentiment. I am still waiting on Outlaws to be finished. It's even worse w Ubisoft. Like I can reliably just wait for the 60 fps patch to hit the Far Cry and AC games I haven't played.
@Fishnpeas I've played Doom at least weekly since the original release and it's pretty damned Doom. Just the culmination of the He-Man arc Hugo Martin decided to bring the series in, for whatever reason, lol. It's fun. I think the thing is that whatever happens with the series, it will always be my favorite. The original game will be around forever, and it's constantly changing w mods.
Imagine. They FINALLY make that horror flick fighter w Alien, Predator, um...Scream, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, WB Execs, etc etc etc...and the internet freaks out cause the big lead character is Candyman. Lol.
@JbumiSandra I'm thinking TG might be my next big game after Doom. Some of the builds I have seen are so rad and interesting. I love that there is no level-scaling, coupled with finding cool gear in places players prooooooobably shouldn't be yet. That's how these things should work.
Kevin Hart as Dhalsim is fitting. He's been stretching my patience since Friday. Even The Rock playing The Rock Dressed Like Sagat works. Just sayin, I am no expert on wokesmanship, but Jack Black as E. Honda is a little ehhhhhhhhh....
I am going with an 8 for the time being. I just got an app to run it on my Retroid, and it feels like playing on a Vita (my favorite handheld design), so that score might go up.
I don't think I have ever said here, but I have nerve damage from a combat injury, and sitting up in a chair for any longer than an hour gets pretty grueling. I've always preferred handhelds, so a light one I can play these big games on is so rad.
I hope the frame pacing and reflections are patched. I doubt they will be, but it would be nice. I was going to uninstall and get Tainted Grail instead, but the static NPCs have me waiting on more reviews.
@HRdepartment honestly yeah. I play my Switch a good amount too, but the PS5 has mostly been to catch up on last gen. I've retreated a lot into the sixth gen too. Think I'm just happier there anyway.
I like it well enough so far, but am still not comfortable w the close-up combat range. Waiting for it to click, but Eternal didn't gel completely until I beat the first Slayer Gate. It's funny, because Eternal used to get so sweaty that I wouldn't blink. Tears would be running down my face, and I would stand up during hairier moments, usually at the end of big skirmishes. This one doesn't do that. I'm not "standing and fighting." Fail.
That first game was fun but I hope they go for levels that are more visually distinct from each other. And that they figure out how to make decent explosive barrels. This is important.
@Steeleye50 Definitely my favorite series of all time. I'm drinking it in. I just love how hard they go with each release. That kind of dedication to something so silly is wonderful.
@nomither6 I mean I agree that it's hard to get excited like I used to, but I actually think that's because standards have raised. There's a ton of great games out right now. It's hard to keep up.
@tselliot yep, it's a really special release and I want to give it the breathing room it deserves. I'd rather get into the systems in the game than have to remind myself each time I pick up the controller what RPG I am playing. I'm 43. It will happen to you too, lol. I'm playing FFT and Star Ocean SSR ATM too, so you most likely get my meaning. I'm looking forward to CO. But for now it's all about Doooooooooom

Re: Free DLC for Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Presents an Otherworldly Venture on PS5, PS4
Amazing game in its presentation, but the action has not clicked. The combat feels super limp, but I have only played two hours or so.

Re: Blades of Fire (PS5) - Steely Action with Blunt Art and Storytelling
@bestuardo definitely their best work, but I think the writer is correct. I think most people just assume Dread was by Nintendo.
Re: Blades of Fire (PS5) - Steely Action with Blunt Art and Storytelling
@themightyant so this is a 60-80 hour game...

Re: Starfield Should Still Come to PS5 in 2025, and It'll Be in Its Best Shape Yet
@ButterySmooth30FPS "The most important RPG of all time" is my favorite. It was so obscene.
Re: Starfield Should Still Come to PS5 in 2025, and It'll Be in Its Best Shape Yet
That's a good headline for almost any BGS game besides Starfield. The problems with Starfield aren't your normal BGS bugs and jank.

Re: Talking Point: Does Sony Really Need Some Kind of Summer Showcase?
How about the honest answer, "What would they showcase?"
Re: Analytics Firms Predict Pitiful Full-Price Sales for DOOM: The Dark Ages on PS5
I like it well enough so far, but am still not comfortable w the close-up combat range. Waiting for it to click, but Eternal didn't gel completely until I beat the first Slayer Gate. It's funny, because Eternal used to get so sweaty that I wouldn't blink. Tears would be running down my face, and I would stand up during hairier moments, usually at the end of big skirmishes.

Re: Warhammer 40k: Boltgun 2 Brings the Boomer Shooter Back for Another Crusade on PS5
