I only watch PPVs. They do enough recap that I don't need to watch the regular shows

lol I got 7 stones again

And new tribe, Quillboars coming to BG! No new info yet but I wonder if they're going to completely disable a tribe (temporarily) or start adding 3 to the blocked list every game.

skull

I got 7 stones from my login yesterday and then pulled AGL Mai from a Turles multi to keep me humble. I dropped 150 stones into Turles and I'm regretting not putting those into SSJ4 Gogeta instead.

Bad

EZA for Goku & Freiza is pretty crazy but I can also kinda see the logic behind it. It's one of the few LRs I can think of off the top of my head that would probably never get another version released. Like we just got a new LR SSJ2 Gohan but what are the chances they make another LR for Goku and Freiza?

The mindset is probably why EZA the crappy old LRs before you release the fancy new version that people will buy?

---

skull

The Freiza EZA is basically "did Krillin activate his guard passive?" if not then you lose. I put Krillin in the first slot and my entire team was killed from full health by 1 super and 1 basic attack he didn't guard.

1) Sora

2) Dante

Yes most of the choices are pretty obvious and I don't put much stock in it myself but it was posted before Banjo and DQ Hero were released and every character released so far (except Min-Min) is on the list.

I'm not saying take it as law or anything but just some interesting choices.

I've been doing pretty well in ranked with OTK Demon Hunter. It eats aggro because of all of the healing and it beats (non-warrior) control because it has a 48 damage combo with no counterplay and draws through the entire deck in about 10 turns.

---

skull

I spent about 10 hours with the first Nioh and got sick of the gear management and missions to the same levels over and over. I usually like grindy games and ARPG style loot but it wasn't clicking in this game for me.

---

skull

My two big complaints after about 4 hours with Control are that the map mostly sucks and the combat went from kinda frustrating to ridiculously easy as soon you start getting powers/more guns. There was no gradual skill curve it just went from hard to easy like a switch got flipped.

---

skull

Ever since I hit legend the win 5 ranked games a week quest is such a chore. I swear it takes me like 2 hours just to win 5 games anymore. I don't know what happened

---

skull

I picked Rogue but it was close between that one and Demon Hunter. All of the others looked kinda lame I thought

---

skull

This is great news but charging full price for all these games is a big lol

---

skull

I just netdecked some random rogue deck and the duels wins were pretty easy. 2 of my wins were people just conceding immediately.

---

skull

Turns out the basic cards are still "free rarity" so you can't enchant them or disenchant. They aren't class level rewards anymore so instead they'll be provided to new players as soon as you unlock Wild mode.

So nope you still can't disenchant the golden versions it seems.

---

skull

From what I've seen this one is definitely more RPG than Musuo. I'm pretty sure there's like less than 10 playable characters right?

I wonder what out of place 90s song they'll get that can top Gangsta's Paradise from the first movie's trailer.

My guess is that he was brought back as a sort of enforcer of fate by the whispers (like the AC triplets) and then he broke free of their control somehow or something. So he still has whisper powers but he's not working for fate.

But honestly it was probably just to look cool and it will never be explained.

skull

I accidentally bet the under (55.5) instead of actually betting on a team because the fanduels app is complete trash. I still won but only $5 instead of the $275 I would have won.

---

skull

My first souls was Dark Souls 1 and it did probably take longer than average but I don't remember the exact length. I only remember Dark Souls 2 because it did feel very long.

The short length isn't necessary a critique of Demon's Souls because it was still fun for those 15 hours but I just expected it to be longer. I'm more disappointed by the basic enemies and gimmick bosses but that's the problem of playing the first game after all of the sequels I suppose.

Demon's Souls feels more like you need to create your own fun than any of the other games. I ran through with a Spear/Shield and maybe I would have had more fun using magic or trying a different combo.

Core set seems like the shake-up Hearthstone needs. 55 cards returning from wild sounds fun and they're free!

---

skull

Are you floating the SSJ4s or something? I don't see why they're so bad if you build up their full passives and try to make sure Vegeta is in the first slot and Goku supers before taking damage.

---

skull

I beat the whole game in 15 hours and I'm not into NG+ so that's it for me. I know I shouldn't compare a game to its sequel but I feel like Dark Souls 2 took me at least 60-70 hours.

I dicked around in PVP for about 30 minutes and that is NOT for me either.

I was also surprised at how easy most of the bosses were in the game. I feel like half of the bosses were gimmick bosses or only had 2-3 attacks. Even the final boss only took me two tries.

I don't want to say this game is overrated because its 10+ years old and it inspired a lot of GREAT games but playing this fresh in 2021 was kinda boring.

How does everyone else feel?

---

skull

Pan being included in these valentines day things is still weird.

I'm a straight dude but I would love to see some waifu cards of the male characters eventually. Vegeta in a sexy pose with background hearts would go on every team.

---

skull

My favorite thing about the rumble was Edge being in for the entire time and then no-selling a surprise RKO after 40 minutes of wrestling. They might as well just get rid of finishers at this point in WWE

---

skull

Holy shit this new mode is awful

---

skull

This event and these skins are some of my least favorite but Tiger Bob is pretty cool. Bounty hunter mode sounds interesting, especially if top 4 counts as a win for Arcade.

And I'm not in a hurry to play Hard mode at all, especially since we can't use items WTF.

Yeah you can't use items AND MP only regenerates between chapters or breaking boxes I believe. Benches don't even restore your MP lol.

I can't even really remember if breaking boxes restores your MP or not but I think it does. But honestly hard mode was a lot of fun and I played it immediately after beating the game.

Breaking the cycle and having faith in humanity/aliens to not destroy themselves is the hopeful ending to me. Control and Synthesize are both endings where Shepherd doesn't believe in humanity.

But that's just how I see it, you don't have to understand or agree with me!

Better make sure you can cash it out. A lot of intro promos give you promo money which can't be cashed out til you meet certain requirements.

The fine print is that you need to be a new customer, it has to be your first bet, and you have to deposit $10 into your betting account.

So yeah it's just free money if Brady wins.

---

skull

Fanduels has a promotion where it's 55 to 1 odds for either team (up to $5). So I'm going to bet $5 on Tom Brady and hope I win $275.

So yes

---

skull

Synthesis is a weird ending because it feels like the Reapers won since Shepherd is basically agreeing that humans and robots can never live in peace.

Control is definitely the renegade option in my opinion. Even if Shepherd has good intentions he's still capable of making bad decisions. I mean the reapers thought they had good intentions too!

Destroy is a little weird because yes you're killing the Geth and Edi but it feels the most paragon because it's a more hopeful ending to me. Shepherd is disagreeing with the reapers that humanity and robots can't live together and he's also breaking the cycle. Sure it's sad that Edi died but they could make a new Edi in like a week right?

Reject is okay thematically but not necessarily a satisfying ending for the characters you've spent 3 games with.

---

skull

The gold orbs are +3 instead of +5 so they're really only good for crappy characters you wouldn't use an orb on anyway.

---

skull

My brain is going to Club Dredd but maybe that one only had 1 killer

---

skull

I did not pull SSJ4 Gogeta but wow that monke hits hard. 55% friend with an attack stat over 2 million is cuckoo

---

skull

Bummer you didn't like the cuckoo ending but glad you liked everything else! I agree it was a little lame they felt like they needed a big epic finale but also did you want the game to end on the highway chase?

The ending moments do hit harder if you've played FF7 because all of those flashes during the last battle were FF7 moments they were seeing. Also those 3 ghosts you keep fighting are strongly hinted to be the bad guys from Advent Children: Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz. So the ending was exciting in the sense that they're pulling from all parts of the canon but also lame because it was typical Nomura nonsense even for FF7 fans.

I think the next parts will be better without fate ghosts running around but we'll see.

Ouya lasted longer than Google Stadia.

This isn't cancelling Stadia they're just not going to make any Stadia exclusive games.

They probably saw what happened with Crucible from Amazon and said yeah fuck making our own games.

How would he know the character names if he's never played the game?

Also Patty is awful and brings the game down but I thought the game was pretty bad either way. I played it last year and it was a slog almost the entire way through.

---

skull

3 discounted multis all trash. Oh well, guess it's time to start saving for anniversary.

---

skull

I felt the opposite about the super attacks! Also Vegeta has a revival mechanic that blows his armor off and then both his super attacks have a shirtless variant. That's very cool


---

skull

For the Bardock EZA it was basically survive until LR TEQ Ginyu can do a crit and kill him.

---

skull

The only card I can use as my attacker is LR Piccolo so I haven't gotten higher than 30 mil. I only did it like 5 times before I just gave up completely.

---

skull

Square filed 3 trademarks a few weeks ago: Ever Crisis, First Soldier, and the Shinra Logo but that's the only FF7 news since FF7R released. Those might not be FF7R related

---

skull

I don't know if it's a meme or not (WSB is fucking weird man) but some people are thinking GME is going to reach $5000

Pretty tempting to jump in and just buy a few at $300 if it's going to get anywhere close to that high but I've never touched stocks so it's way too much of a risk for me.

Hmm it's been 9 months since I played this, but this doesn't sound right. My memory says the ATB meter goes up really slowly if it's not your active character, right?

Well if you build Cloud up to 2 meters (for example) and then spend them both if you transfer to someone else they'll probably have at least 1 meter built just from passive building. So you could build them up to 2 meters (not very hard) and move onto the 3rd character. By the time you get back to Cloud he'll probably have at least a meter built up.

It's been a while since I've played too so I could be misremembering but I did also play through it twice and got the plat trophy.

skull

At least you can actually run the base form of transforming Goku/Vegeta as separate cards and they both stack defense. I actually reverted them to finish Pure Saiyans SBR.

The worse thing will be seeing INT UI Goku and AGL SSBE Vegeta again
