OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

[TB87]

It's funny which bosses different people have trouble with. I leveled up my blessing once or twice and beat Romina no problem. Midra I've fought 4-5 times and never even got close to beating him.


The abyssal woods were a nightmare. I can't say I love FromSoft adding the obligatory high grass safe zone that you see in a bunch of open worlds. At least it was restricted to that one area.

It’s wild how different everyone’s experiences are with FromSoft boss fights. Some I can figure out their move set quickly and others it takes me numerous attempts. Others, I allow anxiety to turn into panic rolls and greedy attacks lol. Miyazaki recently said he still is in search of making game that is his ideal RPG. Can’t wait to play what they’ve got cooking next.

I started Yakuza: Like a Dragon on Thursday. Really liking it so far

Monday for some.

Think they can release the game now so that people have something to do other than watching what's currently on TV?

I'm ready for the return of Coach Duggs. He was a Covid era legend

Get it for nostalgia purposes. Keep your expectations in check. It’s EA.

Pretty much this. I'm not a Madden player, so I haven't play a football engine game since the last NCAA. I'm happy with anything

I've intentionally avoided Madden the last few years so at least it would feel fresh for a bit. I don't think they will ever get the gameplay to feel (comparatively) like it did during the PS2 era.

I will not buy a console. I will not buy a console. I will not buy a console.

Far too cheap when it comes to myself. The only thing I bought myself today was a Best Buy gift card for 10% off. Free savings is free savings.

I was gonna do that but for my best bud Christmas gift. He is officially out of room for knick knacks.

Buy a console with that 10% off gift card.

Sometimes i feel a bit weird for having a total lack of an interest in any current sports video games despite being a 4-for-4 guy. Glad that NCAA is finally getting more people to jump on board with this current console generation if nothing else.

I would say that i am still eagerly awaiting the day when they bring back NBA/NFL Street, but knowing EA they would find a way to turn that shit into a MUT pack gambling simulator too.

anyone play the Avatar game?

anyone play the Avatar game?

Nah. It’s got a 3.94 (out of 5) score on PSN (7,000 reviews). Anything below a 4 is usually mediocre at best. It’s got middling steam reviews too. However, seems like it’s something that could be fun at some point when it’s being sold on a deep discount.
