Holy ballsack the world in XC3 is huge. Feel like I've covered as much ground as the original game and I'm just getting to the first settlement other than the one in the intro chapter. Kinda reminds me of XCXs world more than either of the 2 main line games, although from the scenery I have a really good idea of where I am in relation to earlier entries. Feels kinda barren though, hoping that changes.

Currently not playing anything.
|
Tried out Deathloop aince its on gamepass. Turns out its actually pretty damn good. Kind of like if Dishonored was a roguelite.
|
Its on my rader im just drowning in rpgs right now
|
i tend to get annoyed doing the same thing over and over. never got into hades, despite it being a good game.
|
Slay the spire, darkest dungeon and ring of pain are good. Tactics rougelike Othercide wasnt bad but way too difficult in the early game
|
Tried Gundam Overwatch. Its fun, but I'm not sure its going to be interesting enough for people who aren't familiar with the mobile suits.
|
Tuesday update:
Currently not playing anything. |
Pitched a perfect game in RBI Baseball 21 during a staff meeting today
|
Been playing a bunch of Neon Abyss. Fun game to jump in and get a run done on my break
|
another 2042 update. they are fixing maps in a reeeeeeeeeeeally good way.
cant wait till proper classes return next season. RIP my game time |
Battlefield sucks almost as hard as The Shitman.
|
Beat Deathloop. Highly recommended. Shame that Bethesda turned everyone off of it by shoving it down everyones throats at shows and stuff. Deserves to be regarded more highly.

Agreed. You clearly know nothing about fans of the genre. |
:lol:

Destor's emoji response says more than all those words.
If you don't know... BF fans almost ALWAYS shit on every new game for a very long time. During that time, the previously released title will be praised, despite being shit on before the release of the new one. So at this time..... BF2042 is almost a year old. So, it sucks, but also doesn't suck. It will continue to awesomely suck until season 3, when they bring back classes. But then, there will be new awesome suckiness yet to be defined :) |
I'm just rolling back through to say again that the size of XC3s world is insane.
|
Right??? And mechanically this game is tight. 145 hours in
|
Currently not playing anything.

I'll bet no one's answer is Overwatch 2.
|
Feel like thats doomed
|
Seems like it has anti hype
|
Will give it a go this weekend. Hoping I don't need to grind in the aimless world of quickplay to play ranked.
|
They've made a lot of dumb decisions with OW2.
I just uninstalled OW so it didn't auto-update to 2. No interest at all. |
Chivalry 2
If you have gamepass, download that shit right now. Its like battlefield combined with skyrim. So fun. |
Sf6 closed beta is tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing the feedback

If you chop a dudes head off you can pick it up and throw it at people.
|
HA!
Fucking outstanding. I'd do it that because it's in the damn game. Would be great if it demoralized them or something, affecting their stats. |
You can also pick up random objects. I picked up a chicken, lit it on fire and killed a guy with it.

Went through the tutorial, but had to stop right before the last part of it. Probably have to do it again.
It's kinda rock-paper-scissors in a way.... a but like For Honor, but maybe easier//better? I dunno, seems really cool so far though, but DEFINITELY going to take time to git gud. |
Yeah when they say its a fighting game, they're not kidding. You mash buttons, you get wrecked. A lot of nuance to the combat.
|
Played like 10 Overwatch 2 games. Same game with some slight modifications. Don't get me wrong, Overwatch is an amazing game. Just already played it for many many hours.
Was hoping for a complete tune up. What they put out makes sense because its free. I thought this was going to be a solo campaign game though? Slightly confused on that aspect. |
PvE was delayed until 2023
|
Apparently Mario/Rabbids 2 replay value is as bad as the firsts. Still excited for the first playthrough though
|
I dont need repayablity from it tbh
|
Mid 80s on metacritic
|
Id like to go through the game a second time, but there is no way I am going to go through all that boring puzzle padding twice.
|
I like the puzzles :(
|
Dragon Ball The Breakers. Pretty fun game thru I suck all types of ass in it.
Guess I know what Yamcha feels like. |

Gots me an invite to the Skull and Bones tech test this weekend. Catch is I gotta agree to an NDA.
Tempted to do it. But I feel like I'll just be wasting time with what I've been seeing. |

Im still playing xenoblade but i it looks great
|
Destor....how far are you into XC3?
|
|
Im told theres about 10 hours of post game though and i have a lvl 110 super boss i gotta beat too
|
ok, so you're far enough for me to say the word I wanna say because it's been killing me.
Biffteen. |
I'm pretty much where you are story-wise. Think I just hit like 140 hours. I'm grinding out all the class levels for everyone now and completing the plethora of quests that open up in chapter 7 and getting all the settlements to 5 star affinity. Haven't even started the super bosses yet, although I could probably drop the first 2 at this point. I'm not even trying the 105/110 ones yet. I'll do em all when I'm ready to fight the one thats locked behind beating the first 4.
|
I dont know how to beat a lvl120 enemy. I cant wrap my brain around it. Ive got all colonies maxed save 2. I think the quests my be locked for post game. All classes are ranked up and every hero has access to everything. They have all at lvl10 and most have 7+ at lvl20.
Biffteen had me dying |
I could beat the 105 now for sure i just figured id save them for post game to give me something challenging to finish with
|
Only thing that would work in my head for lvl120 is load everyone with art = chain and crit = chain and use tiaon+ eunie chain for full heal every 15 to 20 seconds. The boss would kill everyone in one blow though so that might not even work
|
|
Firmly cements Senna as best girl
|
Cleared the main story. What a fucking trilogy. Masterpiece? Reasonable to say. Still have 5-10 hours of stuff i want to to do. So another week or 2 depending on how much free time i get.
|
Final Fantasy 12
God this games battle system so fucking good... criminal that no other game ever did anything with gambits Didnt understood the story when i was 16 and i still don't but i don't care. Its so fun, grinding is fun, the locations are massive and breathtaking... I don't even hate Vaan anymore I just like to make fun of him. God i love this game |
Quote:
Also Xenoblade X was like 15 hours of really boring tutorials...never got past that Would like to enjoy the series but was kinda turned off by my guys going ITS REYN TIME! and THIS IS THE POWER OF THE MONADO! every 5 seconds Also been trying to play xenoSaga for years and have barely made it 10 hours into the first game... i always fall asleep Simply put Xenogears da bess |
It sounds like xeno may not be for you honestly. I played xbc1 after xbc2 when it dropped on the switch so its hard for me to say how id had taken it as a stand alone title. 2 hooked me not 1.
That said xenoblade 1-3 concludes the xenogears story in a very satisfying way: SPOILER: show |
Are Xeno gears, saga and blade all connected or is it kind of a final fantasy type of deal?
|
Written by the same guy who doesnt have the rights to the past entries. Saga hasnt been tied to blade yet but id imagine now that this arc is over it will in xbc4. Theyre connected unquestionably but youll play these 100+ hour games with zero connection and the last 5 hours will make no sense unless youve played the other games
|
Just 1st tried the lvl120 suoer boss. He was... very very easy
|
206 hours. Ill def pick it up when the expansion drops. Might go back for the next wave of dlc might wait for the expansion. DUNNO
|
I think Im gonna run through Origin tomorrow tbh. I've cleaned up all the quests I can find and only have 2 colonies left to max and know thats gonna be handled post game.
And yeah, I will for sure be back for the expansion but I'm going to wait to play the wave 3 content until it comes out so I can use that to get reacquainted with the mechanics before hitting the expansion. Unless of course it ends up being a standalone expansion again, in which case I'll prob hit wave 3 when they confirm that. |
I imagine the expansion being about the cities founders
|
trying out Persona 5 Royal. Love the combat, not so much the in-between exploration.

Yeeeeeeeah, that was a bit off-putting.
My kids were eating lunch, and as soon as I saw the jiggles, I knew where they were going. Thankfully, the 7 year old did not. |
You were convicted as her assulter though...
|
Yeah I dunno what they are talking about. They didn't treat you any kind of way because you saved her, they treated you like shit because they thought you were the perp.
|
The justice system was weilded against you so effectively your own parents banished you.
|
That final battle in XC3 took agesssssss.
|
It was very lengthy lol
|
Think I'm gonna give smt5 a go. Any good?
|
Fucking loved it.
|
Yo was lifesage busted or what?
|
I honestly didn't tinker with lifesage much, but from what I did it seemed fairly OP. I prefer the support healer classes more though (signifier and troubadour) but I know if I ever was to hit a battle where I was struggling that I'm calling in a lifesage or 2 to rectify that situation.
|
Between the class and Nias chain attack abilities its basically auto win.
|
I dont think I ever used her chain attack ability tbh. Everything was already trivial anyways with the time I invested into the soul hacker class. So. Much. Damage.
|
She revives all fallen allies and they can participate in the chain attack. So heals are garunteed. Soul hacker is def legit once you get the high lvl skills
|
lol, that definitely sounds like cheating :D
|
SMT5 seems extremely weird and I am totes mcgotes here for it.
Again I would like to praise the ease at which you can rip switch games to PC. SMT5 and XC are clearly held back by the switch. Its really noticeable in SMT5. The shadows and the jaggies made me go straight to ripping this one as well. Now instead of 720p/30fps I am playing in 4k/60 with upgraded textures/shadows and increased LOD. Also scaled back the ambient occlusion that made some things look...weird. Honestly all of this is making me think about a steam deck so I can still kick back elsewhere and play but also get better settings. |
Have you played other mainline smt games?
(I love my steam deck. Playing trails in the sky 3 on it currently) |
Yeah I played Nocturne way back on PS2

About to be heading to Bayonetta 3. So the breakers is finally gonna get a break.
Also is the steam deck worth it. Been considering it even if only for Fire Pro. |
I purchased the steam deck because i wanted to be able to play steam ttiles on my tv. For that alone i think its worth it. As far as the handheld devide its very well built and has all the functionality youd expect from what is essentially a gaming laptop. If you play exclusively on desktop there's no need for it but i love the device a lot.
@figgy I have the latest fire pro but i havent had time for it. Huge backlog atm. @seph you should be fine with smt5 then. QOL alone make it the best in the series for my money though the super boss is more cheap than difficult. |
fyi wait for a sale on fire pro dlc. They are definitely overpriced, but worth it if you can catch them on a discount.

Are you playing the zodiac version? The leveling is way better
|
SMT5 is fun and is scratching my completionist itch in that I have to have every monster in my compendium. I will catch and/or fuse them all damnit, just like I did in Persona 5.
Wonder if they have the giant dick riding in a chariot again lol |
God of War: Ragnarök..........in about a few hours from now.
|
man i was at the store to get it as soon as they opened and these fucks dont have it out yet and wouldnt go get it from the back. Too busy standing around looking at their phones.
I wonder if they'll like it later when one of their bosses gets on their ass about it because they were behind schedule and refused to take 60 seconds of their time to help a customer that just so happens to be her husband lmao. I told her not to worry about it of course because it's not a big deal but shes the kind of person that will use it to go make a point lol |

Star Trek: Prodigy- Supernova.
Simple game. Full cast audio though and a good story. It's not Pizzarific but it's not bad. |

No clue how late to this dance I am, but Godfall.
God damn, how did I NOT hear about this game before now?? This shit is AMAZINGLY fun and I find it rather unique when trying to compare it to similar titles. I get a lil bit of Destiny, Elden Ring and World of Warcraft//Diabloish vibes from it. The combat is so fucking fast and furious and GORGEOUS. Only gripe thus far is the main characters voice is so LOUD compared to every other voice in the game. Seventh Sanctum nearly whispers in comparison. |
