Topic | Furiosa is only a month away CE. Are you ready? |
WarfireX 04/16/24 7:26:00 PM #1 | Forget politics or all the changes to CE. There is a new Mad Max movie on the horizon. It doesn't have Mad Max in it, but who cares? Mad Max is about the world, not the character.

Topic | Are JRPGs "back"? |
WarfireX 04/16/24 4:10:07 PM #9 | IDK what people mean by "they are back!"
FFVII Rebirth is great, but it's a cut of its own genre being more of an action RPG made in Japan. Are we talking about remaster like Star Ocean or Final Fantasy Pixel remaster? Great for nostalgia, but Im trying to get into Star Ocean and it just feels so archaic. I would like more remaster like Xenogears, but what new JRPG's are out there? I dislike Persona, and I keep hearing people complain that Unicorn Overlord is too easy, which is a big detractor for me and Tactical RPGs. What are these new crown jewels I'm snoozing on? I would like to get immersed in a new JRPG. --- I've got the Oscar fever! Hope you've got it too! Pour me some bubbly now it's all you gotta do! |

I do not know anything about the WA series, and have not heard a lot of buzz about it. It isn't like Suikoden, Breath of Fire or Xenogears where there's a small amount of people who are passionate about it. It just kind of used to be a series that stopped. --- I've got the Oscar fever!

Multiple people in that topic quite literally did just that.Again, I don't have a picture perfect memory of the topic. I specifically do remember people telling me "This game probably isn't for you. Don't waste your time with it." That seems like an aggressive statement to make. Like I'm not welcome in the BG3 community. I guess there were people saying to try it out too? Idk, you tell me. You are the one that has all of this in front of you. Idk how you even looked it up, but from what I remember people were being very rude and hostile to me for not being into western RPGs and fantasy.

Topic | Is anyone here waiting to buy FF7 Rebirth? |
WarfireX 04/16/24 2:25:12 PM #5 | I waited for Rebirth to be on the horizon before playing Remake.
My advice, if you are at all interested in the games, play them now, with maybe a month or two break in between. Trying to play all 3 consecutively like they are all one game will feel like an abusive relationship. Rebirth, while good and I liked it, meandered entirely too much and I wanted my life back by the end of it. --- I've got the Oscar fever! Hope you've got it too!

WarfireX 04/16/24 2:16:33 PM #11 | Mad-Dogg posted...
I don't really bother trying to play modern bigger video game releases on it. Mine is mostly used to play the smaller indie-like games (games like river city ransom underground and pizza tower is perfect for the steam deck), older games, or have it set up to play emulators.Yeah, that's also a big appeal. I love Indie games that you can boot up and play for 10 minutes, or get sucked into and replay start to finish on a whim. Hotline Miami, Hyperlight Drifter, Furi, Door Kickers Action Squad. I also love digital novels like 999. These are fun to play on your couch just chilling like the mod said. BG3 and the new Shadowrun games are also good contenders, though BG3 isn't indie. I even started buying a bunch of these titles on Switch as they were ported. But my Steam library is king. Still not sure I want to blow my entire refund on it, but considering it. --- I've got the Oscar fever! Hope you've got it too! Pour me some bubbly now it's all you gotta do! |

There are definitely cheaper places I could get my lunch though. I go to medium to higher end places. Also, I bought my car cash for $17K, and go on international vacations annually for like $3K-$4K tops.

WarfireX 04/16/24 2:04:44 PM #1 | I've got a decent Steam library, but I stopped getting games on PC about 2 years ago and bought a PS5 instead of upgrading my PC. Still, it might be nice to have that library. Someone even told me that BG3 runs pretty well on it. The main complaint I hear is about how big it is. Not really a portable console that you want to carry around. I mean, even the Switch is kind of a pain and I guess this one is like a bulky Switch. What say you, CE?

No one wants that. Stop making up crap to try and discredit anyone who says anything but the absolutely most unhinged praise for the game.

In fairness, the Goose God (in keeping with his being a pastiche of the Greek gods, most of which were total jerks at best) clearly didn't respect Muriel's boundaries and refused to take her polite "no" for an answer, and was fully intending on abducting her before Courage tricked him into falling in love with Eustace's truck and taking that up into the heavens with him instead. Without Courage's intervention, Muriel might not have been able to escape the Goose God's clutches on her own, and Courage would have been stuck with Eustace on Earth.Yeah, I get that Courage always does the right thing.

He tries to make Eustace look good so she won't fall in love and run off with him, even though she would be better off with anyone but Eustace.
