Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Just a fair warning - the FF7 ReMakester is great!! But Nomura has taken liberty with the story, and it is not a 1:1 redo of the original FF7 story. I had a friend get upset because they had people marketting it to them as a way to experience the FF7 story in fresh hi-def graphics, only to realize it isn't the same exact story as the original.

Still very worth it, but just be forewarned about that!

Yeah I heard people talk about that, to me it's all a new experience so I have no reference point xD.
Thanks for the warning and reminder tho.
I actually do own the original too and want to play it at some point.

Which way western devs?

I dunno if you saw the debacle on Twitter with Ubisoft and Guerilla devs trashing Elden Ring but I ain't even surprised.
There was quite a lot of jealousy on display.
It lead to some pretty funny memes tho, I think Elden Ring was sort of an eye-opener and reminder to a lot of people that open world games in particular nowadays kinda treat the player as a moron and are way too streamlined.
There was an ex Ubisoft dev too who called them out and went on a big rant about the state of game development and the mentality and attitudes he experienced about this.

This edited pic is so true tho xD.



I am rly curious about the next Elder Scrolls game and how it'll play out, I just hope it won't follow these '' AAA trends '' and that it'll go back to its roots more.
I think that when the name '' Ubisoft '' has essentially become a meme especially then maybe some introspection is warranted.
And there just seems to be a complete lack of humility.

Forgot to log in to FFXIV for over 2 weeks..

Yesterday, I found myself thinking of playing Vindictus again, then had to take manual control of my brain and remember all the things that made it not fun to play to stop myself from reinstalling it.

The destiny of all korean f2p games: eliminate your f2p playerbase, keep the dedicated whales in.

I played Vindictus too and it was a lot of fun, it had great combat imo.
Sometimes I feel like reinstalling Black Desert Online too but yeah I just don't rly want to play games with insane grinds and P2W.
It's funny how much people hate on stuff like Eureka and Bozja because they're not actually THAT grindy at all.
You could essentially do it in one day if you're really really dedicated ( maybe not Eureka, but most of it ).

24 hours in total or around that isn't what I'd consider to be a massive grind.
Obviously I am oversimplifying the steps for the Relic weapons were a bit tedious.
But I think a lot of people don't realize how actually non-grindy they were in the grand scheme of things.

Been having a blast in Dragon Age Inquisition.
I decided to play Qunari this go around. My last playthrough is to RP Tal Vashoth seducing the Ben Hasrathhhhh

I pray to my pineapple coconut ice that Iron Bull returns in DA4 and I get my wedding.

And this far in Elden Ring, this concludes my experience even on basic mobs lol

Qunari inqui is my second headcannon (first being human mage). Qunari inqui is so much fun from all the reactions you get (especially during winter ball event) and lore sp good.

Man, now I wanna play DA:I again but idk if I wanna spend 2-3 hrs reinstalling mods and making sure they work. Or maybe just focus solely on hair mods.

yesss I tend to be a completionist so I'm a bit far off from the good stuff ;d
dai did romance and qunari lore so good, altho da2 will remain the best in qunari lore. I def hope to see more lore around them.

Haha, I feel you
AFAIK the mod manager is no longer being maintained but still works for me. Mods made around the same time as mod manager should work as planned.

So I just saw the ending to the new WoW raid.

I've seen all of the cutscenes and watched people play through the story, and I still feel like I have no clue about basically anything in regards to the Jailer lol.
He's such a non-character.

Yeah, this is how I play many games (mostly singleplayer), and for a game like that one it can be really, really tiring. I have quit I think the last 3 or 4 playthroughs of that one specifically. A lot of busywork.

Popped in Code Vein for a bit. The downside is that I forgot that I left off in the Howling Pit, right before the Invading Executioner boss fight. The upside is that it's a New Game+ file, so I was 120 levels over her with fully-upgraded end game equipment.

On the other downside, the next area is the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood. Hoo boy.
