    Final Fantasy XVI

    I’m glad I’m not the only player who felt that way about FFIX

    Final Fantasy XVI

    Honestly, as a medieval and ancient history dork, this is a major frustration, too. Black people were not common but they were there along with Muslims, Jews, and a host of other ethnic communities. It’s one of the most frustrating things about debating racists.

    Final Fantasy XVI

    I call it the Frustrated Franchise Creator Trend. These people seethe with self-hatred because they know how obvious it is that this is not their franchise nor is it their creative vision that will be on full display. They want to be known as creators and artists, but deep down, they know that...

    Diablo IV

    The devs also prioritized flashy skills in D2 to the detriment of regular attacks. I greatly enjoyed D2 but D1 definitely had legitimate advantages.

    Icewind Dale The Icewind Dale Series Thread

    The new post reminds me to get back into IWD:EE now that I’m bored and done with Elden Ring.

    Elden Ring Critique(s)

    From should just implement an actual coop mode even if it just opens players up to multiple invasions. Honestly, one of the reasons I hate invasions (besides the clunkiness, boring pvp builds, unoptimized combat system, etc.) is that sometimes, you get paired with a random person who ends up...

    Elden Ring Critique(s)

    Video discusses underlying system/code issues. Including detailing the input lag that we’ve been experiencing (and some players want to blame on user error). Discussion at 8:41/18:48.

    Elden Ring Critique(s)

    Good point. To clarify, I did not enjoy Farum Azula or the Haligtree. YMMV but while they looked nice, fighting through them, especially the Haligtree, was miserable for my character. I think I re-specced twice to see if my allocations were contributing to the frustration. I do not consider...

    Elden Ring Critique(s)

    Definitely can confirm that the late-game is a serious drop in quality and pacing with hp bloat & monotony becoming serious issues. Those criticisms were legit.

    Squeenix Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster - New Remasters of Final Fantasy I-VI

    The bgm and having such a solid team usually motivated me to grind there until max level.

    Elden Ring Critique(s)

    It’s not consistently fun - there are stretches of the game that are quite simply unbalanced without enough content to keep you playing. And the lack of story and/or interesting characters really does not work for an open world game. You end up having a world that doesn’t really need to be a...

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    Did she ever explain why she chose a doll rather than something more durable? Seems weird to have these invulnerable items and seemingly immortal, invulnerable beings around that she could swap bodies with but she chose a fragile toy.

    Death Stranding Director's Cut - Kojima's post-apocalyptic deliveryman simulator

    Looks cool. On discount if you buy through Amazon today. I ordered it.

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    Yes, IMO, but seriously tweak your approach and see if that works. I like impactful combat and etc. but I spend most of my time just wandering around and co-oping. Some of my favorite ER moments involve seeing a particularly interesting little piece of the world, thinking something must be...

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    This back-and-forth is more interesting than portions of the game itself. This is why we keep coming to the Codex. This, and Stockholm Syndrome.
