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...

Wrath of Khan is still the best Star Trek episode/movie ever, and the Enterprise/Reliant battles (this video, and their extended duel through the nebula) are the best space battles ever put to film. Every shot matters, and you can tell this was made by people who survived World War 2. Pacific...

Hearing this a lot the last couple days. I think remaking the original Star Trek series with a new actor playing Kirk, etc, is a TERRIBLE idea. Like, please don't. Strange New Worlds is basically the same concept, only with new characters, and they should just keep doing that rather than...

They really need to use that engine to remake Oracle of Ages/Seasons next, and Link Between Worlds. Or just make a remaster of LBW. Lot of 3DS things could use a straight up-res onto Switch just to make them more playable. If LTTP got remade, I'm not sure if I'd rather see it in the LA Remake...

EQ has definitely contributed to the declining birthrate. Think of all the people you could meet and musical instruments / languages you could master in the time you've spent in EQ. It single-handedly guaranteed that Rajaah had zero kids up to now. Which, depending on who you ask, may or may...

"Debunking the FAKE NEWS that the desert is silent", there's a jukebox if you pay extra! Yes, the problem was the silence of the desert, that's totally what people were complaining about. Jesus Christ, the internet is fucking stupid. How do I get more tunes for the jukebox? Only have 3 tunes...

Trying out Divinity 2 for the first time ever. What's up with these difficulty levels? "Story" is last but I have a feeling it isn't the hardest one. Classic could be medium or it could be like, classic hard difficulty. This game has a free PS5 upgrade now, and it looks super good.

Section 31 was an interesting idea back in the days of TNG, DS9, and even the Into Darkness movie. A division of Starfleet that wear dark outfits and act like assholes while doing morally questionable things that the main Starfleet wouldn't sully their hands with. However, after Picard and...

This is the EQ thread, not the Nirgon thread or whatever dumb shit this is that's going on here.

Yeah, dudes on FOH are super-studs who routinely refer to 8's as 2's, and so forth. For clarity, my issues with this movie aren't about the "woman is super stronk" thing above, that was just a tangent. Kara-El is super stronk, yes. My only issue with it is glamorizing being a drunken mess...

Was I the only one who found the fire tribe queen particularly... alluring? If I were the Colonel I would have also dumped the human side and paraded around in Fire Tribe paint.

The Abyss is criminally underrated. The scene where Ed Harris tries to save his ex-wife's life was incredibly powerful. Weird how nearly all of James Cameron's movies start with either T or A.

Interesting, what I've always heard is that China and Japan are doing all the whaling this century. I assume Norway and Australia ceased that practice a while ago. Hopefully everybody did.

I assume these efforts to draw a false equivalence are so that people are okay with it when men participate in women's activities like Olympic Boxing, because "women can beat men just fine!" or whatever. Nevermind that it completely goes against every logical thing we already know. Like...

If they're going to do an achievement pass (which is much-needed IMO) I'd like to see them fill in the huge space between the early expansions and the later ones. They populated achievements through PoP for one of the TLPs (Agnarr, I think) and SoD+ have achievements because that's when they...

Yeh, guilty as charged, I care about The Humpback Whales. They're extremely intelligent mammals, and deserve better than having a bunch of Chinese whaler assholes drive up to them and murder them for their blubber. Thankfully that practice has pretty much ended in the West (probably in large...

You wasted a post asking this question?

Having more time to meditate on this movie, I think I like it the most of the 3 Avatar movies. The first was cutting-edge for its time and all that, but didn't have much of a story beyond Feelings. I watched it several times to see it with different people, but not because it was all that good...

Am I the only one who thinks that this discussion has actually been incredibly tame?

It's a long gradual process. Hard to say when it really flips to Live levels of busy. As of level 115 on Phinny, my 6-7 hotkey bars had basically become their own meta-keyboard in the game. I don't like it either. It takes a while to get that bad though. I'll venture a guess, off old memory...
