OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

I have acquired Rolen and Seager.

Once you finish live series things get way less annoying.

@FLYguy3911 I'm now completely convinced that Dupe Theory is real

Yeah I'm rich now. Helps I packed Schwarber so Seager was basically free. Harper f***s btw.

Gotta scoop up some cards for the new collection Friday.

Tradeable?! So you beat the game?

Yeah, guess so. Pretty sure I'm keeping him though. He's worth $3.7m but what would I even do with that? I never buy cards or store packs. Plus, the CR7 aura alone is worth it lol

Got it from Elite Rivals, which I got into the day before those rewards.

Can’t believe I have to say this but it’s true, the normal difficulty setting is genuinely too hard for the Lies of P DLC. It’s like I’m fighting through a bunch of Malenia’s. For real. The base game of Lies of P was challenging but this DLC is something else. Holy moly. I initially thought it was cuz I’m slightly rusty. But nah. It’s not entirely it. This is insanity

*Edit*The inclusion of ranged weapons like a bow is really amazing though

I’m gonna respec and put all my points into health lol.

What level are you right now?

 

[Danko]

alright so in warzone, why do i have random teammates that are running around in circles the entire match and not getting dropped for inactivity. Forcing me to respawn where they are running around

What's coming? Like a new Rolen?

You mean in Warzone Plunder?

If so, people go into games and don’t play because getting season pass xp is based solely on time in game. All they have to do is not get kicked for inactivity and they get constant xp, which is why they move in circles to trick the game into thinking they’re playing.

People do the same thing in CS for skin drops. There’s literally entire servers made for it where there will be dozens of bots and not a single person actually playing.

180 something. I’ve literally only been able to clear the 1st 2 bosses in this game by using the “easiest” difficulty setting

I can use the Legendary Stalker difficulty (what the base game’s difficulty was set as) for regular enemies and mini-bosses in this DLC. Don’t have the patience to spend 2 to 3 hours slogging through these hellish bosses on Legendary Stalker difficulty lol. Might grind a bit in other areas of the game to boost my HP so this DLC isn’t as punishing

I finally got around to starting the DLC today. Only into the mid 70s for my level.

Everything is smoking me lol. The most basic enemies can drop me in about four hits. I may have to play though the rest of the game to level up, then come back.

Yeah, sounds like the developers didn’t learn their lesson from the base games initial release: made the game so hard they had to nerf it considerably. Pretty sure they’re going to nerf this too. DLC is definitely unbalanced

A decent ergo farming stop is the road leading up to the opera house. From the star gazer in the courtyard of the opera house, turn back and go down that road.

Using Hunter’s Amulet helps w/ Ergo farming too.

Lies of P's DLC is far too difficult for long-time players, so the dev is going to nerf it

A new director's letter on the Lies of P Overture DLC is here, as Neowiz acknowledges the soulslike expansion may be too difficult.

trying to decide if i wanna pick up Cyberpunk on Days of Play sale... tetering on if i am actually gonna play through it again or not

also whoever way back said Tsushima gets repetitive...spot on

I played through it on the last big patch before Phantom Liberty was released.

I enjoyed it. The quest design and voice acting were great, many of the side quests were fun but the activities got boring really fast.

Is it worth playing again for Phantom Liberty?

 

[Lord Defect]

I got eaten by a worm last night. So much progress down the drain.

I wasn’t walking. Didn’t see a pocket of quicksand while riding a speeder bike thing.

Said this in the general gaming thread, but it looks like it could be exactly the kind of game that Starfield wanted to be but just isn't.

Owlcat Games has announced The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a Mass Effect-inspired narrative-driven action role-playing game set in the universe of the sci-fi TV series of the same name.

Oooh. Looks like it’s gonna be pretty cool.

So, periodic update #1 (I'll spoiler tag the actual details, and will just say what the things were rather than what they were hiding): Ever have a run so good you left the game playing while you had to go out and do something, so you wouldn't have to end the day? Had that happen this evening when I had to go pick my wife up from work. I had just gotten the right combination of rooms (the Workshop, in the house, and the Tomb in the outer room) and item (the Burning Glass) to unlock something I'd been trying to pull off for an in-game week and change, and wasn't about to lose it in the middle.

Back home from Japan, back into the game, so I can throw another update up.

I've brute forced a couple things I was close on (8 Realms in 8 Months, mainly), and finally cleared the Tunnel of the boxes. I've also Castled, which let me unlock the Key of Aries, draft the Treasure Trove to the Outer Room with the Blessing of the Monk, and got me the Royal Scepter, all of which allowed me to reclaim the throne, turning the Throne Room into the Throne of the Blue Prince. I have a couple Sanctum Keys left, and need to find a couple more secrets I'm aware exist, but for now, I've turned my attention to Dare Mode and Curse Mode.

----

On non-Blue Prince gaming notes, I've also started playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE and Fantasy Life i on the Switch, both of which are great, and it's the 2025 Four Job Fiesta, so I'm starting my first run of that for the year (KNT/SUM/BST/??? so far, I just got the Fire-Powered Ship.)

 

[Beef Invictus]

I was able to clear Clea which took some time to figure out lol.

The big obstacle now is Simon, finding all of the expedition journals and all the music records. Simon would not be out of place as a boss in a Soulslike man. He is incredibly challenging and I will destroy him if it ends up killing me. It’d be worth it

I was advised not to finish all the side content before going after Renoir. This was wise, because as it was he was too easy. I wish that I could have made the fight last a few turns longer.

I chose Maelle's ending. I thought it would be less bleak. I was incorrect.

 

[Beef Invictus]

If we could just figure out how to make the members stop acting like absolute knobs

So, so bleak!

You can load a previous save and get Verso’s ending.
