Yeah, Switch 2 hasn't been worth the $500 at all. I played Mario Kart (good but not as good as the existing one) and Metroid Prime 4 (meh and not as good as the existing 3) and then sodded off. The only other thing I even bought for the system is the BOTW remaster patch for $10. It makes the...

Not surprised that Indian and Latina have experienced a surge, guys love "ethnically-ambiguous" women. A lot more surprised that transgender is so high, considering that it seems like more of a niche curiosity from teenagers (to see what it looks like) than anything mainstream that people would...

It's weird how Draygon and Phantoon are part of the statue over Tourian. The statue should have just been Kraid and Ridley, like the original game. In theory you need to defeat Phantoon and Draygon to get to Ridley during any sort of normal playthrough, anyway. Also, the boss music should be...

Yeah, Movie 43 is fucking gross and awkward, and left me questioning why I was spending time that way. It isn't even "bad in a good way". You're wasting your time. The Raven... was good? You might have a point here with "Amanda was always a cunt". Maybe it was less egregious when she had...

Holy shit, you're right. I had to look it up, it was Lloyd Bridges who played the Admiral (and later the President in the second one). For some reason in my head for a while now I vividly pictured Leslie Nielsen being in that movie. They do look and act pretty similarly and both are incredibly...

This was a Metroid game made by people who don't know how to make Metroid. It would have been fine as a Halo game, because it basically is Halo.

I don't know how anyone can say ANY of the Naked Gun movies are the worst. All three (now four) of them are a fun, irreverent, "nothing is sacred" time. See also the original Hot Shots, which is probably the funniest movie I've ever seen, and basically Naked Gun with military instead of police...

This was a while ago so I might have already responded to it, but I'll do it again either way: Highlander: The Source (the fifth and final movie) was somehow even worse than this. Highlander is such a weird series. The first movie is great, the third and fourth movies are better than people...

Back in the 90's, the big game I wanted to play on PC pre-EQ was Legends of Terris, a text-based MUD (probably the best text-based MUD out there TBH) and my Windows 3.1 computer with no sound card couldn't even run that without tons of scrolling lag. That game was awesome, with nine classes and...

Normally I'd cheer on someone keeping their play hours low, but buying 19 games and playing them all for a grand total of one day just comes off like "hi I like to waste money"

SK+Shaman probably, whether you pick Live or a TLP server. It's the evergreen duo.

Everquest. I missed out on a ton of things at the beginning of the century (D2, KOTOR, Morrowind, the entire Game Boy Advance system/era, girls, getting laid, probably getting laid a lot if we're being quite honest) Yep. All because I was glued to that fucking Everquest from 99-01 and then...

Yep, it's bad. For a Zerker, the one thing worth having is something you'll have to compete with 15 SKs for. Beastlord is an even worse situation.

I go to Europe every so often, different country every time, and always make it a point to go see the local cathedral(s). Some of them are insane wonders of architecture. Barcelona particularly stands out. And of course Paris. I got to see the Notre Dame Cathedral for the first time about a week...

Finished Prime 4, next up is some CRPGs which I'm stoked for. Not sure if I'm starting with Planescape or Diablo 2. Keep getting distracted / pulled away by other things like the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection.

Finished this game on Sunday, a month after it dropped. Mercifully done. The green crystal hunt wasn't as bad as I expected. I just made sure to farm a little bit every time I crossed the overworld desert, and made note of the locations of the giant boulders that needed Power Bombs. At the end I...

This might be wrong, classic itemization isn't my forte or anything, but looking at Raidloot... For a classic launch, it appears that basically all Berserker and Beastlord usable raid weapons are off of the same 2-3 mobs, all in the worst raid zone (PoSky). Mithril Two-Hander from Guk is...

When do we think Playstation 6 is gonna be out? I'll be first in line for it, just like I was for the PS4 and PS5. IMO PS5 still has a lot of life in it, if they want it to. Graphics probably can't get much better than they are; I'd say PS6 or PS7 will be the gen where visuals get fully tapped...

People who take advantage of the old, whether it's to cast fraudulent vote ballots or collect fraudulent benefits that should be going to the old person instead, really are the scum of the Earth. Hopefully they're going to the special hell reserved for people who abuse children and animals.

What's rustling my jimmies this Monday morning: White liberals who don't know a fucking thing about Venezuela being UP IN ARMS for the release of "president" Maduro. They're so consumed by their all-pervasive hatred for Orange Man, everyone associated with him, and everyone who doesn't hate...

I think they really overdid it with scannable objects in this game. Having every second desk, object, floor panel be scannable was too much. It's the first time I actually felt like a Scan Visor detracted from a game. This guy talks about it a bit: It's a good review in general and touches on...

Agreed, GG @Voyce Keep going, there's more cool stuff to see. The last few areas of ER are the best, IMO. It's an optional postgame super-dungeon, but Miquella's Haligtree is one of the best dungeons I've played in any game. It's a real D&D style crawl. If you dropped that place into any of...

Guy has achieved the impossible; Faceless and RI members agreeing on something!

So that's what I have left? Fire area, Mines area, Chrono Tower? Plus crystal-farming and whatever backtracking I need to do to activate things?

All true. It's such a shame. Considering I played Prime 1 and Prime 2 probably a dozen times each over the years (and Prime 3 probably 3 times), once I finish this game I doubt I'm ever going to touch it again. Unless, of course, they... ...yeah, that. If 2 and 3 get remasters (and they...

All of these Souls games have slow-ish controls to give them that "action RPG" flavor where planning your actions a second or two in advance (usually the foes are a bit slow-moving as well) is rewarded. Well, except Sekiro, which is fast and about twitch rather than planning. I'd say the main...

To bite on this hand-wringing, I could post an epic ranking in the Teek thread, but Teek is past that era. I could post it in the Fangbreaker thread, but Fangbreaker is past that era. This is the closest thing to a catch-all EQ thread. I hear he's working on a TV movie screenplay, "The Rural...

Nothing you said is incorrect. I still haven't finished Prime 4. It just isn't good. The ice area was the only one so far that actually felt like the old Prime games, and only for the trip back out of it (every area doubles up in size by making you backtrack). The green crystal farm might be the...

For me it was dual wielding katanas. Rivers of Blood + Cold Uchigatana is particularly good because you're getting huge Bleed and Frostbite procs out of your L1 double-slashes. That setup can't really get going until like 75% of the way through the game though. An earlier ghetto version would be...

Yeah, Elden Ring is a pretty easy game when it comes down to it. Friend of mine was afraid to play it because Game Journalists had filled his head with a bunch of stuff about how impossible the game was and how he'd spend hours and hours fighting a single boss until he got past it And I was...

Agreed, especially as a cleric. Assuming I'm thinking of the same person here. I ran Cleric for most of PoP era to cover healer lineups because of folks like him flaking out. You should play again bro. -From someone who barely ever manages to get on at the moment Yeah, when I talk about...

The guy running the convenience store in question was a white dude with a beard. Do you even Clerks? If we're really getting down to brass tacks here, no DPS are necessary for winning fights. If you have enough warriors to cycle Defensive, enough healers to keep them up without running OOM...

Anybody playing this Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection thing? They just dropped physical editions, PS5 is $50 and Switch 2 is $60 (lolol). Thinking about getting the PS5 version, if it's actually worthwhile. Friend of mine has Dragon Quest 1+2 HD2D on Switch 2 and I have it on PS5. We compared...

This is why I mainly play Monk and SK, so I can always flop and pretend nothing happened. Calling @yerm a "low level gamer who doesn't understand tlp meta" is comical If you're really sticking to this "cleric 1.0 isn't the most useful epic" hill, then which one IS? Let's see your list.

I still have to play Echoes of Wisdom. It's one of my four remaining Zeldas, which are the same four year after year now, in my 22 year quest to beat all the existent Zelda games just once. Prime 4 really can't hold a candle to Prime 1. That game is one of the best of all time. Prime 4 hasn't...

Quicktime events? You don't need to parry things. I went through the whole game without parrying the first time. Sounds like how things go when someone plays their first Fromsoft game, they often hate it for the first ten hours until it finally clicks, and then the entire Fromsoft catalog...

I welcome anybody to give me a better Epic 1.0 list with rationales. Might be interesting. And I definitely rated Enchanter too high. It might even grab the worst award away from the Duck Stick. At least it looks pretty cool.

Shaman epic does have some good rewards on the way, like SoW boots (essentially JBoots but better, Shaman only unfortunately). Rogue epic is a lot of "bang for your buck" for how easy it is. Can knock out a bunch of rogue epics in a row and double DPS for all of them. If I ever do another TLP...

Only the top four 1.0s on that list are particularly crucial for winning fights, most of the rest can be taken or left. Maybe Mage too depending on the meta. I think I overrated Enchanter. Would do an Epic 2.0 ranking as well, but I'm only firsthand familiar with like half of them, as opposed...

Live EQ is legitimately meh. To get things back to basics here and hopefully facilitate some discussion / shitting upon: RAJAAH'S UNOFFICIAL EPIC 1.0 RANKINGS Bear in mind that all of this is going off of 25 years of sometimes-distant memory and I probably got a few things wrong. Honorable...
