    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It was to a cave inside a poison swamp and since I had read above about the meteorite staff after I cleared it and got a grace I went out and nabbed the staff as well. Still think the spells I'm using are garbage however.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    So I finished the main plot and did all the side quests but obviously missed some things like Cauldrons etc. I am, however, no where near maxed on my weapons and don't even know where the heck to find some of the materials I still need. I read that they do have DLC plans based on a shop-leak...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    There seems to be lots of opportunity in misfortune. I got teleported by a trap that sent me far away, but conveniently to a place which is an excellent exp farm for a mage. I keep dumping points into int since 'glass cannon' seems to be all I'm good at, though all the spells I've found are...

    Where is the 'Path of Grace's pointing to after Castleeward Tunnel? I feel like I'm missing something

    I hate this game Why can't I stop playing it??

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Finished the game today and haven't had this feeling in a long long time. I bought a PS5 specifically to play this. I will buy a PS6 to play the next one. MasterCraft of story, gameplay and visuals.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I have actually done exactly this. I'm level 31 now and have 19 unspent skill points while I bang out remaining level 19 quests

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I continue to outlevel content... I sort of wish I could just pause EXP gain for a bit. Anywho I am now solidly in that sweet 'I just enjoy living in this world' phase where there's a bunch of sidequests and points of interest to explore and I can amuse myself for an hour just doing a bit of...

    Playstation 5

    They actually instituted a 'load screen confirmation' for Horizon: Forbidden West because it loads so fast when fast-travelling that you wouldn't be able to even read the load-screen hint most of the time. Its freakish.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    As someone who lacks the sort of situational awareness necessary to use traps and trips I feel your pain. I haven't put a single skill point into the Trap tree (or machine tree for that matter) because of this. Also means I don't bother with food since I can't bring myself to use it with a 3...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    As a non-Soulsian person I find the whole 'multiplayer' business with invading and inviting and all that to be quite off-putting. Is it actually fundamentally different than "join friend"? The whole thing feels anachronistic.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I am definitely out leveling content so it's good that I'm playing it on hard (very hard makes things just annoyingly bullet sponge). I'm 27 but doing level 19 quests because I'm chasing the plotlines (and skill points) I'm definitely behind on leveling up my weapons though owing to needing...

    Soooo apparently I'm playing "Mass Effect" at this point and this makes me very happy. Guerilla done out-Biowared Bioware

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I have issues with the Sky Clan and their lack of anything resembling winter weather gear... Motherfuckers are nearly barefoot and shirtless wandering out in a goddamn blizzard.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I am a bit annoyed at how often I seem to need to plug my PS5 controller back in to get more juice. I thought it was because I was using headphones plugged into the controller, but now I'm just playing the sound through the normal speakers and its still running low after only a few hours.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    This. I was happily questing along and doing my own thing having figured out exactly what the plot was --- and then the record scratch hit.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    This game is the only reason I was eager to find a PS5. The game is very pretty and just as immersive as the previous one. I feel like the part I'm in now is sort of an extended tutorial that sets things up game mechanic wise until you actually go to the Forbidden West. Combat is just so...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Enjoying the game so far. After the intro/tutorial bits I almost immediately went off the rails and started exploring the initial area and am having a great time. Did end up at the intended destination after a bit and then spent the better part of an hour learning and then playing the...

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    Last set of episodes from season 1 dropped this evening. Ended well and has a nice set-up for season 2.

    Peacemaker

    Given that he's already used Peacemaker and Judomaster I wonder if James Gunn will continue the trend and reinvigorate other classic Charlton comics characters outside of their Watchmen analogs. I suppose the Questions, Captain Atom, and Blue Beetle have all been fully integrated within DC...

    Lost Ark Online

    Mana seems to be an odd resource. Playing a Paladin I've never once even noticed the blue bar move much less empty out and yet quite a few skills have mana efficiency options. When I PowerPassed a Sorcerer I did see mana matter, but only when I had the manashield thingy toggled on.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Hollywood does a lot of shuffling to make sure that big tent pole movies don't collide. The games industry needs to learn proper developmental scheduling and marketing to emulate this. There were many months last year where I was dying for something new and then we get these gluts periodically.

    I assumed stuff like that was 'localized' as Western Audiences have less of a tolerance for that, at least lately.

    Lost Ark Online

    This game kills me with the cutscenes. So damn many of the freaking things and a good fraction of them have abysmal pacing and/or include on-the-rails plot elements that make me just annoyed. "Yeah okay I can see that the guy is getting his ass kicked, I'm here to help.... Ummm... I'm...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I had fully intended to do a new playthrough leading up to the release but got distracted by other shiny things. I've had to settle with YouTube vids that record the various info you learn towards the end of the game about Zero Dawn, Sobek, etc. That the game actually had, at its core, a very...

    Downton Abbey

    Downton Abbey gets away with things because its a period piece. Those lavishly crafted period dramas on British Television get an immediate pass for lack of diversity on account of authenticity. The first time a black man is seen in Downton Abbey itself is quite a shock to many of the characters.

    Lost Ark Online

    I got a velociraptor mount last night from a quest. It was a nice change of pace from the white horse I had been charging around on. Plus I just get a kick out of a paladin on a velociraptor. I had not done any of the Chaos Dungeons or Honing until after I went to the northern iceland place...

    Yeah I figured it had hung so I shut it down and rebooted my machine..... Now I'm locked out as it thinks I'm trying to login multiple times on the same account :(

    Lost Ark Online

    Im not entirely sure how this happened, but I ended up with Paladin as my guy I got to 50. I think because I was waiting to play other classes with friends but then they all flaked... I kinda enjoy it actually. I'm mostly using him as a caster which seems lightyears more useful than his sword...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    Yeah it was already leaked extensively so they decided to lean into it. There is that oft-repeated notion that spoilers actually make people more interested owing to anticipation.

    Just hit level 50 at the start of Steampunk land and I have no idea what to do now... I guess I just follow the main "plot"?

    Lost Ark Online

    There is definitely an overwhelming sensation with all the different skills/stats/levels/collections etc. Taking it easy and just addressing one thing at a time seems to be the way to ease into it. Thankfully most enemies while levelling are weak enough that you have plenty of time to get used...

    Peacemaker

    I love that Vigilante is absolutely aware that he doesn't have emotions like other people do and that doesn't phase him for the same reason. He also seems rather durable given the degree to which he gets damaged each episode yet keeps on ticking.
