    Playing & talking online with no headset

    What system are you playing on? The PS5 just has a mic built into the controller that works pretty well for what it is. As long as you aren't blasting the game sound it doesn't cause substantial bleed, and it's designed to pick up your voice from a distance since they're not expecting you to...

    What game are you playing?

    The lines are also fuzzy with where you define a "library" for the last two gens of console. There's less like...reputable games with physical copies now than there used to be. But if you count the 8 trillion "indie games" (probably about 5% of which are legitimate games and the other 95% are...

    I really don't understand why you have so much hostility towards me, so OK, I still don't understand YOUR point either but clearly you just want to be nasty instead of engage.

    What game are you playing?

    Yeah, it had exclusives that were on the level of the PS5/Series X launch titles like BUGSNAX. No one talks about pretty much any 360 games released before Gears of War besides Oblivion really, which was better on PC by far. Maybe Dead Rising? I remember the year it launched where being over at...

    What game are you playing?

    Bethesda's just incapable of making games more than once every 5 years, and the ones they've made since Skyrim are bad, so this is all we get. I remember when the Xbox 360 came out and there were basically no games for it for like a year. I think Oblivion was about all it had till Gears of War...

    What game are you playing?

    OK, I went back to FF7 remake and replayed chapter 9 (the one with Cloud/Aerith trying to save Tifa from Don Corneo by dressing cloud up as a girl - also featuring a battle against an EVIL HOUSE) to get the last two quests I missed. In like, 5 seconds of cutscene with Aerith and Cloud...

    What game are you playing?

    Infinite Wealth is easier than Yakuza 7, yeah. ESPECIALLY as far as "endgame" is concerned. Dondoko Island is great. I don't think it's a failure to stop focusing on the main plot to do all of that. I mean, the director was hyped about it and was convinced he'd made the best Yakuza minigame...

    What game are you playing?

    FF16's world is so empty. I thought FF7 Remake's was, but this is way worse. There's these vast open spaces with a couple little named landmarks in them with buildings and stuff, and very often there will be literally nothing inside of them, not even a chest with a crappy item. The exploration...

    What game are you playing?

    Finished Final Fantasy 7 Intermission. Yuffie is annoying. The ending made her a bit more sympathetic. Now going back to Final Fantasy XVI, this time on story mode so the combat doesn't feel so tedious (it was never difficult for me, just took forever cause enemies had a trillion HP and you...

    Elden ring!

    Hmm. I guess I just view platforming as the worst, hardest aspect of games (Hollow Knight made me want to die in a couple sections and I doubt I'll play the sequel cause the platforming was so off-puttingly difficult) so I absolutely consider a section like this hard cause it requires way more...

    Elden ring!

    I'm confused, what IS hard to you guys then? A segment that you die on over and over if you don't do it correctly seems equivalent to a boss that you die over and over to if you don't execute it correctly, I guess the only difference is you can think about each jump for a long time. If the...

    Elden ring!

    What do you mean it's not hard? If you often die while attempting it that kind of seems like the definition of hard! The game just doesn't punish you for dying, so it's like Super Meat Boy difficulty. But with a lot more tedium cause you have to go back through the easy part every time.

    Elden ring!

    The really asshole sections of it are a place or two where like, it looks like you should easily be able to jump, but there's a coffin directly above you that blocks you from jumping upwards, so you hit your head, don't go far enough, and die. At some point I looked up a video of the "easy"...

    Elden ring!

    Frenzied Flame is definitely the coolest ending visually. I like the dung eater ending somewhat, but it's definitely less cool cause there aren't giants involved. The Goldmask ending is the only one that's "happy" in any way I think. That section of jumps is THE WORST section of its kind in any...

    What game are you playing?

    I played a couple hours of that game and at some point realized it wasn't fun or rewarding. The plot is likely ripping off the same stuff Stranger Things ripped off, namely old movies about kids/teens with psychic powers being pursued by sinister government types like The Fury or Firestarter...
