"Shatters expectations" with 38 million dollars on opening weekend. I remember when Terminator Salvation got like 53 million on opening weekend and it was considered a huge disappointment. 2009 was a different world. Sometimes our media wasn't up to par, but at least they were trying (and not...

Which story changes? I finished the new versions of DQ1 and 3. They mostly just added things rather than changed things, I think? Like all the faerie bullshit in DQ1. Most of the new additions kinda sucked (that one five-on-one fight with the knight boss and four skeletons was a real bitch to...

That explains it. I was getting 10, 20, 40% exp from killing higher-level mobs in Velks on a 40ish Paladin persona (no PL, just a haste and a Diamond-Tipped War Javelin). Then I got the 120% for one of them out of nowhere, then it was back down. Was with LOTD + Extralife bonus. That 6x the...

Probably same here, Switch 2 is the first console I've regretted buying since... not even sure when. Maybe ever? PS4 wasn't very good on year 1 either but it at least felt like it had a point (being top of the line tech). Switch 2 though is just a weak counterpart to PS5 that can be brought on...

It's pretty depressing how after an eight-year wait (since the first announcement) and an entire full console generation rotating out, the game is finally here and it looks like it might be a fucking catastrophe. I mean even a subpar Metroid Prime game is still better than most other games, but...

Getting things back on track here

Nier 1 is Square's most acclaimed game this century, or Nier Automata? Cause Nier 1 is basically trapped on PS3 now, so I'll need to check that out, unless Nier Replicant is a close-enough remake of it? (I haven't played any of them yet, but they've been on the shortlist for years along with Nioh)

It's pretty fucking bad, and I say that as somebody who usually waves off the latest internet rage-bait about some game or movie. It'd be one thing if the guy was just annoying in cutscenes, but he TALKS OVER THE GAMEPLAY CONSTANTLY. IN METROID. It's like adding a Navi fairy to Dark Souls

Sorry, didn't see this. Here's what I've got: TomServo vs. Goatface - This dude acts like my nemesis and hates everything I say, and I have no fucking idea who he is. Lightning Lord Rule vs. Kuro - Amod gets leniency Siliconemelons vs. Denamian Caligula the Cat vs. RQB - Caligula and I were in...

... @Koushirou is on here and I'm not? Who the hell has a problem with Koushirou?

I know nothing about this show and haven't read past the 4th post of this thread, but I predict that the reason the show is set in the 1960's is so that it can tackle complex social and racial issues like how white people are bad and police are bad.

When did they lift the cap on how much EXP you can get from a mob? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before. This was me soloing a level 48 mob at level 40 with LOTD on and the Extralife bonus obviously going on. This isn't even on TSS exp tables yet.

Two months per expansion, plus consolidation of non-AA expansions, would solve everything related to unlock schedule. Have the consolidations be separated by two weeks to give the "main" expansion a little room on its own. PoP followed by LDON two weeks later OoW followed by DoN two weeks...

I did. It looks really nice, but it's pretty much a direct transfer of MGS3 without anything really new. Which is probably a good thing at this point. A few things weren't as impressive as they used to be, like the visuals during the Fury fight (they scaled down the fire a lot). I had the game...

Why do they always kill Gates with timing like this? It deserves better.

In what universe is this necessary in a Metroid game? Let's shit up the next Dark Souls game by adding Jar Jar Binks as a navigator who never shuts up while we're at it. After 8 years of waiting, I gotta say, this is the first time I've been legitimately angry about a piece of media in a very...

Good video. The remake really botched the Barret/Dyne scene. That and Aerith's death being botched are the two glaring "how did they fuck up so badly" moments of Rebirth. Much like how the entire final chapter of Remake was a colossally stupid debacle.

Lots of great advice here for prospective future guild founders. Being prepared in advance is the best way to guarantee success in life. Also, not pinging everyone for an epic mob that takes 3 people.

I wish they'd send back a Terminator to terminate whoever decided to completely fuck up Metroid Prime 4...

Is the Shadows of Luclin still continuing?

What the FUCK. They ruined it. They actually ruined it. They added in some office normie who talks like a Marvel character and NEVER SHUTS UP. What the FUCK.

Got delayed again to Dec 12th, now in "I'll believe it when I see it" status

I wonder if this scene of tied-up Maria Conchita Alonzo is the reason I started having such a thing for Latinas growing up. Watching Predator 2 with a friend tomorrow. She's in that too, but not like this lol

Wasn't Bachman a pseudonym of Stephen King? In any case, watching the original tonight, no interest in the new one (seems to be reviewing very poorly). Original is a really good movie and worth a rewatch. It's in the same category as Total Recall, Arnold doing dystopian sci-fi where he gets to...

Was pretty excited for a new Predator movie until I got more information about this pile of dogshit. So the Predator has a quirky female sidekick who talks like a Marvel character with lots of expletives thrown in to be more relatable to the fat, antifa-glazing, nose-ring crowd? Excuse me while...

Oh hey, look what I bought. The expanded version of the original novella that The Thing was based on. This is well-worth your time, unlike the game and the comics (and probably the upcoming movie)

I might actually make a go at establishing a Twitter account for the sole purpose of tweeting at Richard Garriott. Every time he starts popping off about something political I'll respond with a meme banner that says "GET OFF TWITTER AND MAKE A NEW ULTIMA GAME, DORK" I'll also tweet at Trump and...

I'd probably just play the remakes as they come out, since from the sound of things they're gonna be doing remakes of all 9 (10?) games. I think the overall story is pretty much done in another game or two, and the Chapter Two remake is already well into development. Easier to just play the...

I'm guessing this whole saga never got resolved.

@elidib already said almost everything you need to know. If you want God Ramza soloing the game, you go with: -Monk Ramza -Squire secondary to use Focus/Tailwind (and later Scream or w/e it's called now) -First Strike for a counter ability -Dual Wield for a support ability -Teleport for a...

Sounds like Mime is simultaneously the best and worst class. If you had 3 Dancers and 2 Mimes, would that be like 9 Dancers? Or is 4/1 the play? Considering doing a replay with Ramza going Mime plus four Dancers and seeing how quick I can chew through the game with that...

So wait, a Mime will keep taking turns between your other characters? And will typically launch useless moves, but with all Dancers it'll launch their AOEs?

Dancer and Bard are two classes I've basically never done anything with (along with Calculator and Mime) so I'm particularly curious about all of those and how good they are. Sounds like Dancer and Calc are two of the top tier classes, with Mime as one of the worst aside from specific...

He needs to chill with the politics on twitter? That's unfortunate to hear. I don't know what side he's on, but going all-in with blasting your politics on social media is how you alienate 50-75% of your fanbase. Ask Eminem about that. Him getting out an old computer and making some stuff...

Yep, Sony was actually in third place for the first few years of the PS3/360/Wii era. Wii got the kids/families/dweebs, 360 got the adults. PS3 was priced higher than the others but it had blu-ray player support which was still novel at the time and I don't think 360 had that. It wasn't until...

You met Richard Garriott, eh? That's awesome. The guy is still lurking around, which is why I wish he'd run a Gofundme to make an Ultima 10. He's get a big response and he'd be able to get the band back together. Hopefully it'd be a reset to the gameplay style of the most popular installments...

What would you guys say are the two or three best and worst classes (of the normal classes, not uniques)? And which ones have the best/worst stat growths? This is something I didn't pay any attention to on the recent run, and went through about half the game with Ramza as a Ninja. No wonder he...

There are some great Pokemon games and Z-A isn't one of them. On Switch you've got a few options. Let's Go Pikachu is a remake of Gen 1, which would seem like a no-brainer on a good first Pokemon to play, but it has some really tedious game mechanics. Pokemon Legends Arceus is full of empty...

Tifa's voice actress is hot as fuck. Aerith's is cute too.
