There's a second demo that unlocks after completing the initial one - it's a combat focused demo that drops you into a mid game scenario with a lot more abilities, defnitely seems like the combat gets more interesting as you get into the game.

how do you navigate to the health app?

i gotta replay 0, one of the best games of last gen.

Well, Zelda is already out and proven itself as one of the best 10 games ever made, imo. It's a known quantity. Hard to imagine any of those games surpassing it. If I had to guess: Spiderman - No chance really. Don't see this as having the potential to be anything more than a "really good" game. Just not something that's possible within the confines of what they're doing. It'll be a really polished and good one of those but honestly isn't even in the same conversation as the other 3 when it comes to the ceiling of what it can be. FFXVI - We have a demo for this one so w

tbh if anything this is why PC is the way to go. it's where you'll find the most variety in gaming - the lower budget space is still alive and thriving as opposed to consoles where it seems to be only AAA blockbusters and specific indies. PC you get access to all that and more, the modding community is huge, indie community is bigger with less barrier of entry for self publishing, you of course have access to all types of emulators and everything that comes with that. outside of a handful of exclusives on the PS5, I barely turn mine on. Nintendo is the only one putting out hardware

Yeah we’re still watching it but the wife hasn’t really been digging it after episode 2 tbh. Keeps saying it was a bait and switch. I’m still intrigued though, I like the world well enough and interested to see where it goes.

Yeah it’s a mod for PC. It works great though and is easy to install, assuming you both have PCs to play it on! https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/510

Man SF6 is awesome! Been playing a ton of matches, winning a decent amount too, just playing super aggressive as Ken. Been able to learn a few solid combos. I’m still on classic controls, I should probably switch to modern, seems like that’s the play even for good players. other than that mostly TOTK. started a new Elden Ring run with a buddy using the seamless coop mod. Surprised how well it works, though it makes the game super trivial. Whatever though, he’s been asking me to try it with him for a while. Hoping I can convince him just to mostly mainline it - he’s the type

Bethesda wishes they could still make a game as good as morrowind tbh

what they showed looked solid. if they can deliver on all that it will be great. problem is im absolutely positive they won't deliver on that and there's probably 1000 bugs/bad things that weren't shown. bethesda hasn't made a good game in a decade, not sure they'll start again now.

meh not really worth it, nothing on gamepass till at least fall.

I played the demo, I know exactly what artifacts you're talking about. They're in there as fucking assists. The game literally spells that out for you. It's for people not comfortable with action game combat who want to be able to get through the story. It's not the games fault you're a fucking moron with no self control to not use them. Why are you talking about Final Fantasy as if it's some achievement to make it through the game? These games are a joke to get through anyway.

probably stick away from a 3070, 8gb is gonna fuck you. 4070 would be the aim, 1440p you're safe for the future with that.

the only thing stupid is this take. again, if an easy mode exists are you stupid for not choosing it? this is no different. it's meant for people with handicaps and shit.

I mean they're really just an assist mode. They're meant to break the game. They're the equivalent of an "easy mode". So just don't use them. Would you play the game on easy? If not then why use these.

shame that Ubisoft got this license.

no, i have a pc. even if starfield ends up good, im not playing it at 30fps lol

Show was alright. Would have liked to see some more games that were coming out anytime soon. New atlus game was the highlight.

Kinda took the weekend off TOTK, was putting a ton of time into it so nice to refresh a bit, just been grinding D4 but I'm about done with that now. I can't say I'm disappointed with it, cause my expectations were low from the beta, but it's hard to not feel letdown. Gonna get back to TOTK today but also impulse bought SF6. I suck at fighters but always nice to have one I can jump into here and there. The tutorials are super well done and some of the new characters seem cool. Mostly been playing Ken but gonna fuck around and try to find something to main today. I still suck at char

the end game is just such a mobile level treadmill. incredibly disappointing. the gameplay just also feels so slow at a point, only exception being whenever everything is off cooldown. also as much as the spell effects are cool, they feel so reserved in scope. ice shards for example, the core skill of an endgame build and it feels like you're flicking miniature snowflakes at people. things like Frozen Orb/Blizzard that have direct comparables from D2 just look so much less powerful when you use them in D4.

good choice, vr sucks

ah yeah forgot about that franchise

i mean tbf it's also the first game they launched on consoles and pc same day. it would be a travesty if it wasn't.

There's gonna be cases where you want to store stuff. Could be for a secondary build that you swap between. Could be because you want to use the aspect on the item but don't need to now. and yeah, the stash is shared so you can give shit to other characters.

My thoguhts: Level 58 now, just doing nightmare dungeons (~tier 13-15 depending on the key I have available. Pretty mixed on the game overall....the action stuff is great, the rpg stuff is not. Good stuff: -Moment to moment action is awesome -Looks and sounds fantastic -Aspects are fun to get initially from dungeons and a cool way to augment gear -Being able to skip the campaign and having renown/lilith statues carry to alts is nice -World itself is cool and well designed -Decent variety of end game activities, though Nightmare dungeons do kinda feel much more opti
