And only once, because thereafter Bambi was no more.

I've been playing Van Helsing: Final Cut. Its pretty fun. Not at all like Grim Dawn; whereas GD is dark and nihilistic, VH:FC has a buddy-cop sarcasm thing going on. Still, its not every game that lets me run around summoning mechanical spiders to do my bidding while battering with my ghost sidekick.

Is it wrong of me that I desire to see Dea and Uma duke it out?

I can only speak for the first game but its "ok". It held my attention for 21 hours before I hit a boss I couldn't beat and quit. Thanks! That sounds about like what I was expecting. Even if I end up not liking it at least I only paid $15 for the whole trilogy.

Wanting some more hack and slash after Grim Dawn, I bought Van Helsing final cut on sale. I should've asked before buying, but has anyone played it and is it any good?

I was kinda hoping the stormtrooper would get hit.

Ugh. Other people's feeling.

Spontaneous combustion, what could be more natural?

Is it a patch or is Blizzard adding DRM?

Combat strumming a mandolin mixed with the sex cards for W1.

Is there ever any daylight in Bloodnorne? I hate exclusively dark environments.

Where's this? I thought I'd turned over every rock and explored every nook in W3, but I don't recognize this cabin.

When your team's best QB ever is Matt Schaub... Point taken.

In the last panel that guy looks like Tony Romo.

The Osweiler move is baffling. Holding both roasters up and comparing the two, Huston seems like a lateral move. Maybe Elway has an unexpected twist coming in the draft and Osweiler was in the know?

Isn't this the same thing FF did for Lightning Returns? (And I still haven't heard one FF fanboy admit the combat sucks.)

I can't help you with the W3 LP. On a related note, you don't like blind LPs? I vastly prefer blind LPs, in fact I feel like replays LPs should be categorized differently because they're more like walkthroughs than LPs.

Congratulations, you've discovered your hidden super power.

Druid isn't an available class in Grim Dawn. I'be only have about ten hours of playing time, but a Shaman is the closest thing I've seen(you can summon beasts to aid you). Druid is the hybrid class you get for selecting both the Shaman and Arcanist masteries. According to this post on the Grim Dawn forums Druids are quite capable of clearing Ultimate. I've just skimmed through it but it's apparently been updated for B30. The current build (B31) changed a few things - especially constellations and their bonuses - but generally that guide should get you started. It's a bit of a mess though, you need to scroll down a bit for a more concise version. Seems like a good choice for a starter character. I stand corrected. Apparently I've been running an Elementalist without even knowing the class name.

What's going on at metacritic? It shows there are 80+ reviews, but I only see five. Are those 'star reviews'?

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but the best game in the series had an unvoiced protagonist. It was when BioWare announced that DA2 would have a fully voiced protagonist that I sensed the impending doom of the franchise as a quality role-playing experience.

Funny you mention that, because it's the combine super heroes that I'm more skeptical of.

I hope they keep Stxy a pure stealth game rather than dipping into the Assassin's Creed slasher stealth. The level design for Stxy the Master of Shadows was some of the best I've seen since Thief: The Dark Project.

@Brimsurfer: If you want to ignore my advice, fine , what ever. If you want to get upset over a perceived (if you squint really hard at it) insult, sure, go ahead. I'm done with this topic.
