It doesn't have an additional launcher.

What Are You Playing Now: The Other, Other Thread
Lexx replied to Amentep's topic in Computer and Console
The problem with FFXIV is that A Realm Reborn is for the most part EXTREMELY BORING. It's a 110% fetch-quest galore and the developers have no shame to send you over the whole worldmap time and time again. Sometimes they send you to a far away place to talk with a character (3 lines of dialog) and then you are to move back from where you came. Horrible. However, once you are past this terrible slog, the game becomes a lot more fun. The post-ARR story quests suddenly become good, the story becomes interesting, and there is much less fetch-quest stuff. This continues into the first expansion, which looks and feels a lot better already. Can't say how it continues after that, because I just finished it myself and will head into expansion #2 next up. As far as I've read, though, it keeps improving and getting better. So yeah, the biggest issue of the game is that you first have to get through the initial slog, which sadly are quite a few hours of content... -

If you have trouble seeing enemy soldiers, you can enable a visual help in the difficulty settings. I used it all the time in A2, but in A3 I didn't need it anymore. -
Just watched the first 30 seconds and read the title, but didn't Bethesda do exactly the same.

I thought the Pursuer was kinda easy. You can always dodge him to the right on his attack. If I remember right, my trick was to dodge forward, past him. This way you get out of his reach faster and more secure. -
Story twist: This dam explosion terrorist was a game designer on Fallout New Vegas, who was researching and collecting reference material.

I feel like it has lost a lot steam. I'm kinda forcing myself through s3 now, because it is the last one... but so far s1 was the best, parts of s2 were good too, but it noticeably went down.

What are we now, a bunch of MMO players? I'm still in FFXIV - it's horribly addictive. Probably going to spend some money on it soonish, because I'm about to hit level 35, which is as far as you can go in the free version. What I like about the game is that you can ignore ALL side quests. There is no reason to do them to grind experience for levelups, etc. You can just follow the main story and it'll be enough. It's still kinda fetch-questy and sometimes the game is seriously sending you from left to right, but at least you don't have to grind like in other MMOs. -
Started watching Devilman Crybaby on Netflix. I'm just like wtf half the time.

Heh, I started playing Final Fantasy XIV yesterday (the free thing). Just wanted to check it out, because boredom, but now I'm kinda starting to dig it. Main issue right now are all the fetch quests, though. Kill this, kill that, walk here, walk there,... However, the main quest seems interesting, so I've decided to follow it some more and ignore all the boring filler. -
I just remembered that one scene in the first or second episode. Picard was standing in his room, but the camera didn't look at him, it was pointing at his old timey wooden clock and you'd see Picard's reflection in it. To me, this particular scene is the show boiled down. This scene made no damn sense, there was no reason for it to be there, it tried to look artsy but failed, and it was just uncomfortably long. Oh, and what about all these lens flares?! There is no light source in front of the camera!! Why is there a lens flare right now?? WHY IS IT EVERYWHERE.

Then you're the only one around here who likes it.

I've read that people in america are now killing regular bees, because they think they are "murder Hornets".

God damnit, I never even realized that, and I only play Malkavian when I replay it. Guess it's because I never really liked the outfits, so I never bothered with them at all. /Edit: Or because I always play female vampires, because... reasons.

Problem with Alien: Isolation is that it needed to be shorter. 3 times I thought I'm in the endgame now and the game will end soon, but it always kept going and going and going. Would have been better if they had cut some stuff from the middle. Feels like a lot of the android parts were only added so players can shoot with guns for a while. -
Dunno if they are clueless. Watched the video and to me it looks like they (police) wanted this to happen. Ofc they didn't want to be recorded, though.

Is it good places? I bet this whole genital thing is just blown way out of proportions.

Pretty sure that's not true. PS: The Vampire game trailers above are horrible.

Why did she failed badly?

That movie must have been pretty hardcore when it was released. Fun fact: They made an alternative ending, where the sheriff from the beginning survives and suddenly reappears - he saves the day and everyone is happy ever after.

Started watching the South Korean show Kingdom yesterday. It started slow but then turned out to be pretty good. Now I can't stop watching it.

Ugh, so I'm nearly at the end of 24 season 1 and it gets harder and harder for me to keep watching. The story started to drag already after episode 10 and there had been 14 more ... Some of these story twists are tedious bloat and I really wouldn't mind seeing them cut out. Not sure if I will be able to watch more once I'm done with season 1.

Is Adventure Time a show for kids, or also something for the older generation? Everyone keeps talking about it, but I never felt the mood to check it out, because it looks like a kids show to me.

Jack's daughter feels to me like the absolut generic tv show chick from the early 2000s. She looks always perfect, always has the same drama face, her story arch... she is the same character as any other "I am the daughter of a tough guy" ... This is what makes that show feel old to me. In comparison, the daughter of Harry Bosch is a lot more likable to me. It's partly the same cliche, but at least she feels believable. Oh, while I'm at it... New Bosch season is out. Binged through it on Saturday. Nice, but now it's waiting tyme again until the final season next year.
