FF14. Really solid game so far.

M-A-G 06-19-2020 09:58 PM

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

DAMN iNATOR 06-20-2020 12:42 AM

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.

Red dead revolver rules

drave 06-20-2020 10:27 AM

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:

Sepholio 06-23-2020 05:17 PM

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.

ClockShot 06-25-2020 06:43 PM

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.

El Vaquero de Infierno 06-27-2020 06:11 AM

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.

Fignuts 06-27-2020 07:17 PM

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

Sepholio 06-27-2020 09:13 PM

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

Destor 06-27-2020 09:43 PM

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

El Vaquero de Infierno 06-28-2020 04:57 AM

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.

Ultra Mantis 06-28-2020 07:16 PM

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.

Ultra Mantis 06-28-2020 07:24 PM

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.

Destor 06-28-2020 07:45 PM

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."

Sepholio 06-29-2020 07:39 AM

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

Curtis 06-29-2020 10:09 AM

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.

OssMan 06-30-2020 12:13 AM

Just beat Last of Us 2... mad good

Destor 06-30-2020 01:05 AM

Playing it now. Feels directionless. Lacks the soul of the original. Stakes are much lower as well. Gameplay is more of the same (and i dont think thats an insult, stick with what works) but if feels like a lifeless version of itself.



Hoping it turns around though. Its not bad so far. Middling.

Destor 06-30-2020 01:51 AM

Some thoughts up to where i am in the game (theater: )


SPOILER: show
The sequence where joel and elli are on an outing is pretty touching. Joel essentially teaches the player how to swim which is a wonderful call back. But its this sequence that highlights why the game just doesnt really work.



We are invested in this father daughter duo. Its the bond between them that makes the first game so special. We love her through the eyes of a father. And while avenging joel should motivate the player without that bond the game lacks the heart of its forebearer.



I get what they were going for here but its the wrong choice. This is the choice you make late in a game (or even series) not at the top of the first act. A vengeance story is a fine archetype but its so far from what the last of us was; this it all feels emotionally empty and the scenes that harken back to the tone of the original inadvertently highlight that.

ClockShot 06-30-2020 06:00 PM

Finished the Bounty of Blood DLC for Borderlands 3.

Their best DLC yet, but also felt like their shortest.

Back to Red Dead Online. At the pace I'm going, I should juuuuuuuuuuuuust finish that off in time for Ghost of Tsushima.

Curtis 06-30-2020 10:00 PM

Just beat the two DLC campaigns for Resident Evil 7, Not a Hero and Fate of Zoe.
Zoe campaign is a bit frustrating, but really cool as it incoporates stealth and your combat is melee only. Hope we see more of that stuff in Resi 8.
Next up I'm probably going to try to get throgh Divinity Original Sin in preparation for Baldur's Gate 3 coming soon.

Vastardikai 06-30-2020 10:13 PM

I just picked up Katamari Damacy Reroll on the Switch. A cult classic that made it's debut on the PS2. It is so stupid, so weird, and so fun.

drave 06-30-2020 10:32 PM

Picked up Division 2 again. Almost surreal given the world's climate right now.


The TU10 update is amazing. For the first time, I have an actual ranged, skill build that can get through Heroics. Best part, i just set everyone on fire. It's fun.


Bounce between that and AC Odyssey, which is my 2nd fav in the series behind Black Flag.

Fignuts 07-01-2020 05:07 AM

I feel like it's kind of crazy that we're this many games in to Assassin's Creed, and we've never gotten one that takes place in Japan with ninjas.

drave 07-01-2020 07:52 AM

True. Maybe after Valhalla. Would be awesome for next gen.

Sepholio 07-01-2020 02:33 PM

Feel like China is a more likely location than Japan for the series next. Three Kingdoms era seems like a great setting for an AC game.

drave 07-01-2020 06:03 PM

Cuz big red will let THAT happen :|

Curtis 07-01-2020 07:47 PM

Resident Evil Revelations 2. Trying to knock off another RE game from my list of RE games that I beat.

Destor 07-06-2020 10:24 PM

Finished TLoU2. Well written game with a terrible premise. I could write pages on this game. Its wonderful contradiction. Everything it aims to do it does well its just that all of its goals should have never been attempted in the 1st place.



I hope naughty dog moves to a new IP from here. The character were the draw and there's no story left to tell. That said they tell really good stories so id like to see a new idea from them.

Fignuts 07-07-2020 03:17 AM

Laura Bailey is getting blasted with horrible death threats on twitter, because we've reached a point where people actually need to be told that voice actors aren't the fictional characters that they play in a video game.

Closer than ever to just packing all my shit and moving into the woods.

Destor 07-07-2020 11:44 AM

"Death threats" aka people speaking enraged gibberish on twitter.



Dont feed the trolls

drave 07-07-2020 01:40 PM

Some trolls don't need fed to act, sadly. Shouldn't be happening in the first place.

Destor 07-07-2020 02:05 PM

These most certainly do. Its a very popular thing to do. Make outlandish (baseless) threats on twitter and the news outlets will report on your tweets. Rinse. Repeat.

Destor 07-07-2020 02:06 PM

These are not in any way credible threats.



I'll give you an example:


I am going to kill fignuts for not posting frequent updates in the firepro thread.


That statement was completely menaingless and it would irresponsible to give it media attention.

Sepholio 07-07-2020 03:58 PM

I just reported Destor to the authorities for terroristic threats.

Fignuts 07-07-2020 05:41 PM

I mean, none of that really makes it any less of a shitty thing to do.

And my main concern in the post was more about why these people are angry.

El Vaquero de Infierno 07-08-2020 11:55 AM

I bought the first "season" of Hitman and Kingdom Come: Deliverance on the Steam sale. I'm going to wait until RDR2 is cheaper before buying it.

I'm currently reliving the horror of Dark Souls 3. Good times.

RP 07-09-2020 02:07 PM

I just finished Injustice Gods Among Us: Ultimate Edition story mode. It was good, but a few issues.

1) The multiverse gets confusing

2) This is my biggest gripe. They dont even show the scene that made Superman snap!!!! They didnt show what Joker did to him and Lois! How the fuck do you not show that? It's the basis for the entire game!

Emperor Smeat 07-09-2020 06:57 PM

Animal Crossing New Horizons and Astral Chains on the Switch.

Replaying Bioshock Infinite on the Xbox 360.

Fignuts 07-09-2020 07:25 PM

Heisenberg and I have been tag teaming State of Decay 2 lately.

drave 07-10-2020 09:32 AM

I started to play that the other day. Downloaded it and forgot I even had it from Gamepass.


Might jump into it this weekend. Played for less than 15 mins, but was pretty good from what I did play. Loved the 1st one.

Heisenberg 07-11-2020 02:21 AM

well, goddammit, my Leader, Kathy, needs ya now more than ever. She's a good fuckin' zombie killer. Good stats, well rounded, ready to die, but she's never gonna

Jonathan's days are numbered.

Almost everyone else in the group is a warlord type, while Jon is a builer. Only exception is this dude Jonas. But Jonas is a cook, and we already have a better cook. Also he keeps trying to get me to go out and solve his grandmas stupid davinci code bullshit.

So Jonathan's only Ally is about to be exiled.

RP 07-11-2020 06:40 PM

After like 35 days. I finally got my copy of Marvel vs Capcom 3. I didnt know i ordered it from Canada and apparently that's an issue???? I dont even know. Probably full of Corona.

ClockShot 07-11-2020 08:13 PM

Took me a few months, but I platinum'd Red Dead Redemption 2. What a ride! No pun intended.

I'll find something to keep me busy until the Great Mongol Hunt of Tsushima commences on Friday afternoon.

I wanna play Ghost of Tsusmima so bad. I've been waiting for that since they showed it at E3.

But i'm waiting for PS5. Never bought a PS4. Hoping PS5 has backwards.

Ghosts looks amazing though man.

Destor 07-11-2020 09:58 PM

Ps5 will play ps4 discs out of the box. Thats confirmed. Beyond that is unknown

Re-downloaded The Swapper.

About a dozen trophies and a nice puzzler to keep me busy.

RP 07-13-2020 09:28 PM

Been doing trophies on MvC 3. Actually getting some online fights still on PS3. It's pretty fun. I wish i knew there was an Ultimate MvC on Ps3 though. Apparently just more characters.

Fignuts 07-14-2020 05:21 PM

Far Cry New Dawn was only 10 bucks so I picked it up.

It’s more of the same, but lighting things/people on fire is at no point ever not fun, so heck yeah.

For a chopped game with some tweaks, it really was pretty good. Nice grab.

GD 07-15-2020 07:26 PM

I completed "God Of War", and "The Last Of Us Part II" recently.

Planning to start MGS V: Phantom Pain soon. I haven't really played any of the previous installments though.

ClockShot 07-16-2020 07:39 PM

Briefly jumped back into Bloodstained: ROTN. Killed all the demons and made it to level 50. All that's left is to fill out the item and shard lists, and rack up 500k in gold. It'll be a bitch, but a good chunk of players notched the platinum.

I'll tackle this challenge after Ghost of Tsushima.

GD 07-16-2020 07:40 PM

Probably going to delete WWE 2K19 as I cannot stop playing it.

El Vaquero de Infierno 07-18-2020 01:48 PM

I'm in the Irithyll Dungeons (Dark Souls 3) at the mo; the occasional shriek in the game out of nowhere is freaking me out. Jailers are also creepy as fuck.

Fignuts 07-18-2020 05:24 PM

Giving Breakpoint a try since it’s free this weekend and I enjoyed Wildlands.

Also they have supposedly patched it a bunch and it’s no longer a dumpster fire.

We’ll see.

ClockShot 07-18-2020 05:50 PM

It is.

Unless they did the update for the A.I. teammates, hold off for that.

Fignuts 07-19-2020 12:59 AM

It's in there already. Also they added something called immersion mode, where there is no gear score and enemies don't have levels.

Which is great because a stealth, tactical shooter with bullet sponge enemies sounds like the drizzling shits.

drave 07-19-2020 08:10 PM

Just finished all the main Odyssey storylines in AC Odyssey. That story started so slow but god DAMN it became very good and hard to put down. Enjoyed the mythical beast fights, especially Medusa.

ClockShot 07-19-2020 08:23 PM

Ghost of Tsushima right now.

Some moments and decisions that made me scratch my head. But, it is what it is.

Having a total blast right now.

Ghost of Tsushima. Other than a couple gripes (FUCK YOU NO LOCK ON MECHANIC) this game is absolutely incredible.

Sepholio 07-22-2020 04:46 PM

Love how the combat is very punishing tbh. 2 or 3 strikes and you are down for the count, where they will kick you as you slowly die until someone decides to finish you off.

GD 07-22-2020 11:18 PM

MGS V: Phantom Pain is so much fun.

Fignuts 07-23-2020 12:41 AM

MGS gameplay in open world is fun and novel, but the world is mind numbingly boring. Probably the worst sin an open world game can commit.

Rocks rocks and more rocks. Then you unlock a second map which adds pockets of trees and shrubbery to the rocks.

GD 07-23-2020 02:18 PM

Yeah! Love the rocks! Wish it was just more barren with no designated paths. Wish there were more credits, and "Hideo Kojima" permanently watermarked across the screen.

RP 07-23-2020 08:14 PM

I cant get off Mario Maker 2. I have so many switch games now including Witcher 3 and BoTW and i have not played much of them because of Mario Maker 2 and Mario Kart deluxe. I havent even touched Mario Odyssey. The only think i've managed to make it through is Mortal Kombat 11, but I havent gotten the DLC. I'm half way through Y's 8, but it's kinda lost me, but i think its about to get good i just cant quite get back to it.


But yah. Mario Maker 2 and Mario Kart atm. sandersplex is my switch name if you want to be friends.

I just have to deal with that crafty fuck, the Dancer of Boreal Valley, and I can proceed further into the game.

Ultra Mantis 07-30-2020 10:32 PM

Dancer isn't too bad if I remember right, don't be afraid to hug your dance partner but don't get caught in the lift

Aldrich, however, is bastard man. Still bitterly disappointed that the opening movie led me to believe he was an octopus monster from "the deep". Forever disappointed.

RP 07-30-2020 11:13 PM

I started Astral Chains and i just finished the tutorial i suppose. I'm loving it atm.

Fignuts 07-31-2020 05:32 AM

Yeah, can't really go wrong with Platinum Games

Fignuts 07-31-2020 05:40 AM

I tried Carrion which just hit gamepass. It's a 2d metroidvania style game where you play as a tentacle monster escaping from an underground facility. It uses 16-bit graphics and has a really cool atmosphere.

Movement is kind of crazy and takes a little getting used to. It's very loose, but the idea is to make the controls really feel like you're controlling this amoeba type monster and it succeeds in that regard.

Also I say it's a metroidvania but it's honestly a lot more linear than most other games in the genre. It feels labyrinthian, but it's more like Metroid Fusion for example.

drave 07-31-2020 07:54 AM

Seems linear at first. You can traverse the entire game after a certain point. If you want to get upgrades, you have to anyway.


Great game, I'm at the last bit and haven't finished it up just yet. Only complaint is when you grow to the "3rd" form, it becomes a bit too big and the controls are wonky AF when trying to do things like hit a switch, or fit into smaller spaces.

Sepholio 07-31-2020 03:39 PM

I have that downloaded to play when I finish up Ghost. Seemed like a unique twist on the metroidvania genre and I pretty much love any game of that style.

I havent competed it, but i've played it and will complete it. I havent gotten to Bayonetta games yet. Probably gonna grab them on switch. Almost got scammed by my local gamestop trying to grab a used copy. I realized at the last second that the download for Bayonetta 1 might not be there and the manager was like " uhhhh oh ya that ".

Cant stand that place.

Sepholio 08-01-2020 01:09 AM

Finished Ghost of Tsushima. Incredible. Might be my favorite game ever at this point. Just cleaning up the last couple trophies for the platinum now. Gonna run through Carrion after that and then probably play Ghost again in Kurosawa mode with Japanese vocals for the authentic experience.

I've nearly got the Dancer twice now. In the first phase I run in with my sword and get a shot in before retreating, and repeat; in the second phase I keep my distance and when the opportunity presents itself I shoot the Dancer with my bow.

My favorite is when they try to sell you a used copy of a game and for some insane reason they charge more for the used one than a brand new one.
