I'm almost tempted to import Ys IX right now damnit >_<

I've only got Skyrim, L.A. Noire and SSB Ultimate right now, but at the end of the month (29th), I'm scheduled to have my pre-order of Borderlands Legendary Collection delivered.

I also fuck around quite a bit with the various NES and SNES collection games.

I hated the gang war shit in San Andreas. I can't even imagine what the GTA Online version must be like.

So for some reason, the game thought I'd enjoy experiencing the main story all over again but from the perspective of someone who had chosen the Daggerfall Covenant.

LOLNO. EBONHART PACT 4 LYFE BITCHES!

Yeah I remember in OG ESO when I first completed all quests as a member of one faction and then suddenly it resets all the quests and made me a member of one of the other factions. Its just a completionist thing tbh so you can literally do everything as one character if you don't like rerolling.

Fucking Bethesda/Zenimax screwed me though. I had mad time in that game and intended to stick with it and then literally like 18 months after I had bought my key and been playing the game they banned my key and said it was illegitimate and had been stolen before I bought it. Like wtffff 18 months later and now you decide the key I paid for from a third party is bogus? I would have understood if it was in a few weeks or something but naw, not that much time later. FUCKA YOOOOOOOU. And that's why I never played any of the expansion and never will.

Luckily the reseller I used (g2a) actually refunded me, even after all that time.

So I've been playing a lot of metroidvania games again lately. Finished Ori 2 100% and then blazed through a little indie game called Timespinner 100% as well. Had no idea what game to try next in the genre as I've played a shitload of them and all the good ones....or so I thought. Because I discovered Hollow Knight and I have no idea how tf I missed this glorious gift from the Gods of gaming. This one is easily up there with the Ori games and Super Metroid for best in the genre consideration.

It also has some ridiculously difficult content which is excellent since Ive been honing my skills in these games lately. I'm stuck on an optional boss right now that I am severely underprepared for but I don't give a damn because I will flop my corpse at it 1000 times if I have to in order to memorize all its moves/tells to the point that it cant even hit me if I have to.

Axiom Verge was another good MV style game. Naming it just in case, since you said you somehow missed Shovel Knight.

Have played Axiom Verge and Shovel Knight before. Shovel Knight is more like a megaman game imo though. Axiom Verge was pretty good though. Felt very much like it could have been a game in the Metroid series.

Mario Maker 2
Mega Man 11
Rayman Legends
Mortal Kombat 11

Yeah. I can't recommend staying away from the awful PvP Imperial City DLC. I made the mistake of getting it. 99% of the time you're on your own, and I swear trying to complete quests without getting gang raped by enemies and/or members of other factions is impossible. Other than that, I really have no complaints with the game.

Oh and I did also recently complete the Mages Guild storyline starring Sheogorath. Why name the trophy for finishing it "Arch-Mage" if you don't actually (SPOILER) become Arch-Mage?

Cancelled my PS+ a while back and was working through the more interesting titles before it expires in January. Got to Darksiders 2, played like 15 minutes and havent been back on my ps4 in months. Not entirely because Darksiders 2 is so bad, but it's more dramatic if I squarely place the blame on it.

Since then I've been ADDICTED to Animal Crossing and I'm not even asking for help, I dont want it. I'm at a point where I can get my shit in within a few hours daily though so might start on Fire Emblem or maybe give another game that isnt Darksiders 2 a shot.

I picked up Fire Emblem 3 houses. No clue if i'll like it or not. Gonna start after Ys 8.

I put 250 hours into 3 houses. Skip the dlc tho. Not worth.

Hey, Destor is alive. Cool.

Wad i rumoured dead?



Yes living. Busy af tho

Yes I started a rumor that you fell victim to the COVID after attending a rona party at Mitch McConnells house.

So I finished the main ending of Hollow Knight. Done a bit of the extra content and can currently fight the "new" final boss but am sidetracked by the Grimm Troupe contents final boss. Let me say this: As of this moment, out of the probably thousand games Ive played, Nightmare King Grimm is easily the hardest boss I've ever fought in any game ever. I've seen videos of people beating him without getting hit but I'm convinced they were on crack and cheating at the same time. This guy is nucking futs and often will wipe me in the first 10 seconds of battle and I am fully upgraded with every ability found. Madness. MADNESS I SAY.

Decided to take a break before I broke my controller or PC. Noticed a decent sale on PSN and got Jotun: Valhalla Edition and Sundered: Eldritch Edition for a total of 7 dollars and change. Beat Jotun in a day but it was a decent experience. Very pretty game with some challenging bosses. Well worth the 3 bucks I spent on it. Started up Sundered now and it's another metroidvania, but with roguelike spin. When you die you return to the starting point, but you have any found abilities and can spend currency to permanently increase your stats and get added buffs. Any doors you unlocked before stay unlocked too which is useful for shortcuts. Game seems rather easy when you first start it but quickly becomes madness as you are swarmed by regenerating hordes of enemies and bullet/laser hell coming from every direction. Seems really fun and challenging so I'm going to grind it out before trying to kill that bastard Grimm again.

im really hoping the democrats offer a reasonable alternative to McConnells this year. Last cycle i was furious that they thought tokenism was all it would take.


Feels like more of the same though. Guy is less popular now than 6 years ago so maybe same strat will win the day this time.


He won over 70% 6 years ago and thats even with being reviled in the population centers.


That said i would totally attend a rona party.

RDR2 Online.

I like it. I can be myself and do things at my own pace. The professions update opens things up more.

Grind sucks.

Warhammer 40k Inquisitor. It was free with Gold this month. It plays like Diablo, but with each "mission" being somewhat like a 5 man dungeon in WoW. Fun as hell. Flame thrower and chainsaw swords :D

FF14. Really solid game so far.

Got completely sucked into Street Fighter 5 these last few weeks.

Haven't started it yet, but recently downloaded Red Dead Revolver as it was on sale. Can't wait for the trip down memory lane.

Legend of zelda botw

Red dead revolver rules

AC Odyssey.


Couldn't get into it when I first bought it. Just learned about the cult and oooooh shit this game is amazing.

HAHA Yeah. I told a GameStop sales person once that I liked Revolver better than Redemption I (this was some months before II released), and I'm almost certain if he'd had his way we would've gone put back and had fisticuffs over that gem. :lol:

Just beat a game called Elex. Made by the people who made Gothic and Risen series. It has a really awesome world and premise but it does play a bit janky as most of the companies titles do. The main character is also very uncharismatic and can be a drag sometimes but ironically that is part of the story so it's understandable. All in all I had a pretty good time with it and hope its part of a series like their previous games all were.

About to start the original Nioh now.

Tomorrow or Saturday I'll jump back into Borderlands 3 and do the new DLC. Coming pretty close to getting the Platinum for Red Dead Redemption 2. But, I could use a small break.

Once I'm back at my parents next week, I'll have access to my desktop gaming pc once more, and I need to decide whether to try and complete Dark Souls 3 or buy myself Red Dead Redemption 2. I've been thinking about DS3 a lot lately.

I suppose that depends on how much you want your testicles kicked.

Nioh is def kicking me repeatedly in the satchel. I don't even want to talk about DS3.

Nioh is substantially more difficult than ds3. Nioh is deliberately unfair

I might have to check out Nioh.

I definitely want something challenging, and as I have plenty of free time at the moment, I can deal with getting stuck with a DS3 boss for weeks on end. I might get RD2 for once I complete (hahaha) DS3.

The early bosses in Nioh are absolute bastards man. The ball and chain oni (cant remember the actual name) took me absolutely ages to kill, the only thing in Dark Souls that personally comes close to that level of dickhead are capra demon and NG+ Four Kings. Even the DLC dragon in DS3 is fairer. The 1 vs 1 NPC maps are also incredibly skewed against you and the recommended levels are way lower than should be recommended.

Theres a bunch of actual dickhead bosses now that the PTSD is coming back. Nue (I think?), that thing can fuck off. Umibozu gave me a hard time but I forgive him because he's the best one.

My gripe with Nioh is how many attacks can one shot you. Makes a lot of trial and error. "Oh you didnt know that kills you? Lol retry nerd."

Yeah....the 1-2 shot kills are plentiful af

I spent 6 straight hours playing Resident Evil 7 yesterday. I don't know if that's sad or impressive.

That was my big problem with Nue, just standing still momentarily gets you one shotted by the homing lightning strikes so its ridiculous trying to pick up his tells when you cant even look at him safely. It even seems like that boss was designed with the intention of you giving up fighting it fairly and just cheesing it by the way they set up his arena.
