Oh yeah, I member Bellow. I played a Bard alt in like the 75-95 range and used it to PL my main back in the day, soloing like 40 mobs at a time in places like Foundation and Erillion: City of Bronze (the best place for it, but higher level mobs). It was some of the most fun gameplay I ever had...

Oh, I've been using the Samurai single sword, just got Ninja and the single sword for that. Should I have picked a different weapon for the Samurai? Cause the straight sword is pretty boring over there. The Ninja sword is much more fun, think I'll just stay in Ninja form. Edit: NM, you pick a...

I can't see Crusher going for that. Deanna Troi maybe. She always struck me as one to try anything, considering she, you know... BANGED WORF. Which isn't that strange, I guess. Worf is cool.

I'm not really a fan of the pressing RB to recover stamina after attacks. It's really distracting when I'm trying to strike and dodge. Now I remember what it was that put me off from Nioh 1 (or maybe it was Nioh 2 when I tried that) and kept me from sticking with the series. It was that damn RB...

Yeah, I'm not down with the heroic character thing. It doesn't take long at all to get to 100, and along the way you learn the class. Especially something like bard, which has numerous complexities that, say, zerker doesn't. An SK is the best thing you can put with a bard and shaman if you're...

Is there another option besides the ass covering? I took off the armor to see what she was rocking, and that's what was there. Surprised that the single sword is regarded as OP. It feels so...ordinary.

This game has really nice visuals. Single ninja sword is the way, I hear?

75,000...to be average? Jesus. When I left (around Rain of Fear / level 100) I think characters maxed out at like 12,000 AA points. That was tip-top, maxed-out. Or somewhere in that range. I remember reaching 10,000 and being like "yeah, that'll do, that's enough" because I had all the...

I played on...Karana/Terris-Thule/Prexus/Rathe (same server, merged over and over) IIRC. Was in Clan Ta'Veren (originally Dark Bretheren) for a lot of the 2000's, when I played. Top guild on the server most of the time, sometimes other guilds like Valon or Awaken would pull ahead for a while...

Didn't know Horizons ever even came out. That game looked like "the next big thing" for a while, to people that knew about it. The next evolution of EQ / the genre in general. Then it just sort of disappeared off my radar and I assumed it fizzled out or cancelled once WoW took the torch first...

Yeah I guess DS9 does have a lot of The Message with the Bajoran/Cardassian stuff. It's harder to notice these things when I'm watching an episode every two weeks over ten years. I never felt particularly preached at by it, in any case. Only thing I'm not crazy about is Kira's general rage...

As I recall, there's only one documented instance of an immortal killing another one on holy ground: Pompeii, right before the volcano blew up.

This looks way more like he's playing Duncan than Connor. So they're just NOW starting to film this? Da fuq were they doing for the past ten years? Yeah, the energy just goes nowhere, in theory, if no one is close enough to get the quickening. Trying to remember what happened with Mikey, the...

I know you enough on here that I can safely say you're not a liar. It's more a question of memory / getting things wrong given that it's been 22 years (Jesus). I myself soloed Fungi King pretty extensively as an SK, but I can't remember the server, or even the level, and that was within the...

That would be completely fucking nuts, if it was a real show/movie. Damn. Bob DeNiro as Thanos is an interesting choice, and given Cape Fear I think a similar character to Max Cady would work. Prime-era DeNiro would have been a better Negan on Walking Dead, too, if anyone's familiar with the...

Good idea. I'll replay it up until I'm familiar enough to jump back to the original save.

Been hoping for Dirge to get a modern remake that fixes its problems. It's got a great atmosphere and could be a good game with some tweaks. Really "feels" like FF7 in a way none of the other FF7 spinoffs have. I'm guessing it won't get the Crisis Core treatment though, even if it would make...

Where the fook are demos kept on the Playstation Store? I dicked around looking for the demo section for a few minutes this morning, and then I had to go. Wanted to get the download going. I haven't gotten a demo in a while but I remember there being a very obvious tab for them back in the day...

I'd agree at this point. Nioh deserves more cred. To me Nioh is more like the Soulsborne genre made sweet love to the Ninja Gaiden series and then Nioh was born.

Well, I never finished Nioh 1, all the dropping and picking back up didn't do me any favors whatsoever. Now that Dark Souls 3 is done I've tapped out all the available Fromsoft stuff so I might try yet again. I should probably start it over from the beginning when I do. I got about 65% or so of...

Never paid any attention to Runescape before. It looks really good. It's like a parallel universe EQ where real money and effort is being put into supporting the game and making it still matter.

I almost can't imagine there being an EQ summit today where 50 uberguilders are invited out to give input on the game. The game was so much bigger back then. Tecknoe was first as I recall, as well. Way after the 52 cap was added. Naggy was being one-grouped by 60's when the cap was added...

This was on Vaniki which wasn't random loot, if you want an FBSS it's only gonna drop at Frenzy. But yeah, on Teek, they mix named loot pools together with similar-leveled named loot pools. This makes it harder to target specific items, and tends to result in lots of junk dropping, but also...

Is Picard S2 worth watching? I've determined that I did indeed see the end of S1 and stopped after that. It'd be a little weird to jump to S3 where all the actual good TNG content is, unless S2 is very skippable. It's short, at least. Also I still have like 35 DS9 episodes so I shouldn't even...

Xenogears should have been remade ages ago. It's one of the greatest sci-fi epic RPGs of all time, maybe THE greatest. It's also trapped on PS1, with archaic-looking 3D graphics (that were really nice / ahead of their time in 1998, at least). I've never played another game with story/lore/etc...

I finished this game a couple times. What I would do is consolidate all the most powerful characters into the first, second, and third units. The most powerful would go in the first, then second, etc. I wasn't trying to balance them or anything. Then I'd leave units 2 and 3 guarding the base...

Trek is at its best when it's thoughtfully predicting the future (the best version of the future) with things like "we created replicators, so hunger was eliminated from the world" and holodecks replacing movies - making for an entertainment medium that requires people to think more, AND makes...

Most of the white guys are the "previous generation", the stodgy Olds that are on their way out, while the fresh-faced young recruits are way more...Diverse. This same trope plays out over and over again and it always strikes me as an allegory of Biden and Kamala. The whole objective of that...

I feel the same way. Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Bioshock are probably my three favorite post-2000 games, and none of them enchant me the way a bunch of things did in the 1990's. Things like Chrono, FFT, FF4/6/7/9, Xenogears, Super Mario 64. So it's really hard for me to compare modern games to...

I was mostly looking at the scene where they have all the Starfleet Academy cadets assembled in one place. One of the reviews I watched of the show said something like "finding a white guy in this academy is like Where's Waldo", so I paraphrased it. That one scene is all I was looking at. The...

Wonder if Metroid 6 is going to give us more of Metroid Suit Samus. It's fugly, but it sure is powerful. Actually, the power level is so busted that they'll have to find a way to nerf it quick. I think the X Parasite is done. They never did that much for me. Sure they're creepy, and both Fusion...

Gaiden is basically "Yakuza 7". It's designed to be the parallel story to Like A Dragon, which was sorta Yakuza 7 but not really and definitely not called that. LAD 2: Infinite Wealth is also Yakuza 8. After LAD dropped, they realized that people still wanted more of Kiryu's story, so they made...

Chrono Trigger is possibly the best video game of all time*. Probably the best video game of the 20th century, almost definitely the best Super NES game of all time. If it gets remade, they really just need to enhance it to HD2D like some of the other recent remakes. Spruce up the dialogue to...

Grand Theft Auto 4 needs to be remastered; it's trapped on the PS3. Metal Gear Solid 4 needs to be remastered; it's trapped on the PS3. Dragon Quest 8 needs to be remastered; it's trapped on the PS2 (well, the only good version anyway). Bloodborne needs to be remastered with 60 FPS; it's...

Never saw this, heard it's like a 0/10 level movie. My first thought looking at the poster... is this a Mirror Universe movie? No? It's a Starfleet movie? Nu Trek really is full of horrible people who dress in black outfits and treat other people like garbage. We don't even need a Mirror...

Oh I don't care about the currency stuff even though it's what that video was talking about. I'm just mad about the disrespect shown to the captain's chair. And the glasses. And the obese women at a fucking military training facility. Trying to find an actual white man in the crowd at the...

I'm gonna be playing Fallout 2 in the very near future (only game out of 1-4 + NV that I never played). If anyone has any suggestions on builds or anything like that. Was FO2 particularly well-received? It seems a lot nicer-looking and more streamlined than FO1. IIRC a lot of folks were miffed...

Tell that to the guy on Vaniki who lost some DPS races to me and spent THREE DAYS flipping out about me in general channels to the point that he got suspended for disturbing the peace, then logged on with a different account and did the same thing with the same results. When I logged back on I...

So they basically added Gameshark codes to FF7 Remake's options menu. Jesus. It's bad enough that Square's new HD2D remakes all seem to have a toggle-able invincibility mode, which pretty much kills any need to actually put in any serious work on micromanaging your party. Why bother leveling up...

Pretty much. If they changed it to 8 weeks in Velious, 8 weeks in Luclin, 8 weeks in PoP (bonus if LDoN is included) and went from there, it would probably be as popular as Teek and have more longevity in the population, contrary to their belief over there. A lot more people would actually get...
