  1. Came across an example of the flaw in "leveling" enemies. I ran into a deathclaw that was only level 22 (I'm level 35 now) and had no trouble with it. A couple of minutes later I faced a raider who was a level 40 and he alone gave me more trouble than a deathclaw.

     

    Some enemies should be high level no matter where you stumble upon them.

    How are the energy weapons so far?

    Was doing a EW build and was gonna semi somewhat continue that in fo4.

     

    Also does anyone know if there are any good mods for the PS4 edition?

  2. I'm probably high enough level now that I can attempt the two FO4 DLC, but stupid Preston has me running all over the place rescuing settlements who can't even kill the 3 raiders or the 4 level 1 ghouls that are attacking them every ten minutes.

    Preston and getting sucked into building settlements was what ruined my first fallout 4 experience.

    Second playthru was Soo much better because I interacted with Preston with extreme moderation.

  3. GTA 4 lost me when I kept constantly get blasted by my cousin wanting to go bowling and quilt tripping me every 5 mins...

     

    Restarting up FO1 and hopefully do a full first time FO2 run. Fonv is amazing still but offline and I've modded the **** outta it, I gotta wait to redownload from GoG and spend hours trying to figure out what mods I wanna use that won't let it crash every 45 mins.

  4. I laugh when I hear Republicans fretting the Trump Train Derailment. I asked one "What in this man's history and personality led you to believe any other outcome was possible?". His answer is "He's still preferable to Hillary Clinton". I can't argue with that. When someone offers you a pile of cow s--t on on plate and a pile of horse s--t on the other and tells you you have to eat one of them it doesn't really matter which you choose. You're still eating s--t. The tragedy is 120M + people licking their s--t stained fingers still don't realize they had other options.

     

    Tell me, would anyone swap Donald Trump for Gary Johnson right now? He wouldn't have been exciting. He probably wouldn't even have been effective. But I can guarantee you he'd have stayed off twitter, not bombed Syria for no reason, and still rolled back Obama's big brother bull**** and picked a good supreme court justice.

    As someone who voted for Johnson, I'll be honest, he wouldn't have lasted long at all under the same media that Obama and Trump have dealt with. He could barely deal with them during the election.

    Sadly with a fully staffed republican govt, I still see alot of the things that are happening still happening (net neutrality/marijuana).

     

    Trump has done a few good things, no longer have the penalty for insurance, higher tax return for kids, putting Mad Dog back in office, winning the battle with the media (sadly losing the war bc he doesn't know how to walk away when you won), just to name a few.

     

    Unless Trey Gowdy runs (if he's smart he won't) I won't be voting republican and hopefully the Democrats can come up with a good (not decent/passable) candidate, else I'll be voting for Johnson yet again.

    Nothing like creating a problem for nothing

    I will bet money Trump WON'T win next election. He allowed/****ed with Internet and Pot.

    Sessions needs to get the **** outta Congress and everyone else who makes decisions on what they personally feel against the will of the people they supposed to be representing.

     

    Dammit, Libertarians need to get more people because screw the Democrats and the Republicans.

    I still have to get around to playing the White March expansions.

     

    Anyone know how well the console version translated? I have the PC version (obviously), but am tempted to pick up the PS4 version if it's at least on par with the PC one as I prefer playing on my console than my crappy laptop.

    From what I've read from people who have actually played both. Pillars is pretty much made for consoles, though it wasn't originally made with consoles in mind. The new UI fits perfectly and surprisingly feels much better than it's pc counterpart. Same with Divinity Original Sin...

     

    I've only played the pc version myself but by everyone saying that, it definitely has made me interested.

    Interesting. I think I'll be waiting for a sale, though. I can't justify paying full price (which is what it currently is at) for the PS4 when I already paid for one of the mid/higher tiers for the PC version.

    It's half off right now I believe on PSN

  7. So I've been outta the loop but did see a couple of films on Netflix that I enjoyed alot.

    First one was BFG (big friendly giant) which was quite nice and enjoyable. Maybe it was because of nostalgia because of how the ending was handled, which I was expecting a much different outcome (I guess I'm just bloodthirsty) but enjoyed the route they went.

    Another was Big 6, man I loved that big marshmallow guy :).

    Swatting results in the expected happening. Of course someone can ask if the cop was justified, but given how terrified cops are by everything it'll be hand waved away

    Sadly I think you'll be correct. Screw that cop though, shooting someone to death because they opened the door.

  9. Look, the fact is, no matter how beautiful your message is, bad storytelling makes a bad movie. I don't care if they wanted to make the heroes people of color or the bad guy an angry white boy. All I wanted was a good, logical plot. And they couldn't deliver on that. It's clear that JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson had very different ideas, making the story disjointed. Too many cooks spoil the broth and all that.

    Agreed. Just as comedians can say or push any message, they HAVE to be funny to push it though. If a movie wants to push a message, it has to be entertaining and good. Each platform has a "goal" to meet, otherwise all they did was pat themselves on the back while wasting people's time and wasting the opportunity to get it across.

     

    The movie sucked and I didn't even pick up on all this sjw BS or even know about it. Right now star wars is dead to me except the original trilogy :)

    Trying Secret of Mana on the SNES mini, since it's one of the few co-op games available (the games list overall isn't particularly impressive past the first dozen or so). In short, it's ...not very good. Combat, the hitboxes in particular, is janky as hell. Ran into trouble with an early boss and the consensus advice on the internet is "just grind more". Yeah, not a good impression.

    Back then with games like dragon warrior, final fantasy, and such being the rpgs from Nintendo, those games were designed around grinding a bit. Also had the TES mentality before TESS came out in that u leveled up ur weapons and magic by using them.

    Rule of thumb for the old games, u basically grind until u have the money for the latest gear and also ur main weapons/magic are leveled up, unless u want a challenge.

    Also with combat, watch your stamina in that u want to attack when it's full and back away and/or move.

    It's on the snes because it was one of the first milestones for being "colorful" (aka graphics) and also it's got a good set up in locations/enemy design/atmosphere/music.

    Combat is supposed to be the challenge of the game since there's really no puzzles (except the different seasons maze). It had the stamina bar combat setup so u just didn't beat it easy mode by button mashing really fast.

    Multiplayer though...yeah, it was I believe one of the first attempts to have a rpg that wasn't single player. As someone who lived off this game when I was kid for many many hours, the multiplayer back then was ****ty or not worth doing which was fine because I was used to single player rpgs anyways. I remember they even designed a port to have more than 2 controllers for this game but never bought it.

     

    I woulda loved if the snes mini had secret of evermore on it. It's very similar to secret of Mana combat wise but had a really really good atmosphere. OMG I loved the music in it.

    I did try the multiplayer of Final Fantasy 6 since that's also on the machine. I have to give Secret of Mana credit for making an earnest attempt at implementing multiplayer, while FF6's is utterly pointless. (It's still ridiculous that you have to play 30-60 minutes of single player before multiplayer is enabled though)

    Seeing how I probably have more hours in ff6 than any other game I have ever played...I didn't know about the multiplayer. Probably a good thing I didn't know lol.

    They aren't super long, I'd say 15 to 20 hours depending on how fast you read and if you do everything or not. This site has them at a little longer but not by much

    Will definitely read as much as possible the first time unless the writing is not good. Got a suggested one to start with?
    I agree with ShadySands to do them in order. Reason is they all great games but they keep improving on each one so the first one won't be AS good after playing dragonfall or Hong Kong first because of the improvements.

     

    Hurlshot-As a huge fan of Diablo 2, Grim Dawn is to me what Diablo 3 shoulda been.
