    Sooooo... whatcha playing?

    Just finished Bloodborne and Axiom Verge yesterday. Both were pretty good with some definite flaws. Other than that I've spent the last 3 months or so jumping between playing Path of Exile, Monster Hunter, and Hyrule Warriors. For Path of Exile I've been doing all the temp leagues which are...

    Wii U - Recommendations

    I'd recommend Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It's by far the best platformer on the Wii U and has some of the best level design of the past few years. It's also probably my favorite game soundtrack in recent memory. Other than that I'd recommend checking out a lot of the nintendo...

    Poll: Glorious bloody battle (recommend me a game)

    I'd recommend Bayonetta if you can get it. Pretty badass game where you massacre all manner of angels using demons summoned from your hair. Bonus points for getting to use bazookas on your feet. Otherwise Dynasty Warriors is pretty much all charging and massacre with little hassle. For a more...

    Best modern-day boss fights (Spoilers)

    I actually found him rather disappointingly easy due the the fact that he didn't scale with your level. I made the mistake of going around and actually doing a lot of the quests that spawn after the core event so I was around ~95 when I fought him and realized that regardless of being level ...

    So how do I Monster Hunter?

    It's pretty good on the whole but if there is a specific thing that is confusing you can always look it up. I don't remember having many issues with it when I started with 3U and from what I hear 4U is even better with the single player aspects. That's somewhat what subspecies are but for the...

    So how do I Monster Hunter?

    While you will fight the same monsters more than once, they're basically all giant boss fights with their own unique mechanics. As you go further into the game you'll find most monsters have unique subspecies that appear similar but can fight in drastically different ways. I would also...

    So how do I Monster Hunter?

    The biggest tip I'd give is to try every weapon in the game at least once. Each one has its own crazy unique properties and idiosyncrasies to get used to. Chances are that, of the 14, you'll find at least one that fits your style. Beyond that I'd definitely recommend watching each new monster...

    Long War rant...

    It sounds like you're in mid 2016 and pretty much at that point losing a terror mission isn't a huge deal given that you can just take the country back straight away with a base assault. Honestly I don't know that I've really bothered with terror missions too much beyond early 2016 purely...

    Your First Trophy/Achievement

    No idea what mine would be but given I didn't really play much outside of WoW from 2004-09 when achievements actually became a thing I would assume it's an even tie between the ~100 achievements that auto-activated when they added them to the game on October 15th 2008. A quick look through my...

    Should Diversity be an Obligation in Game Design?

    The only way to actually make it an obligation would be for the ratings boards to require it and have retailers refuse to stock unrated games. So I don't see this happening. Honestly though it's probably good that it's not required. If you were to force something like this all you're really...

    Poll: What's your favorite season of American Horror Story?

    I've only watched the first two with my roommate, but I guess I'd say they're both pretty equal with Asylum slightly winning out just for how silly it's concept was. It's been a while since I've seen a show try to incorporate so many completely disparate bad guy tropes and not utterly fail...

    Nintendo Will Eventually Discontinue Less Popular Amiibos - Update 4

    Given that Smash Bros is kind of the only big game you can really use these with it would make sense to do initial limited runs and then rerelease them after they finish the initial run or as other games that feature these characters come out. Still it sounds like the supply was incredibly...

    Your 'WOW!' moments in gaming

    Reaching Eryth Sea in Xenoblade Chronicles was a pretty huge wow moment. I got there at night and it happened to be during its meteor shower which, after the comparatively standard Makna/Satorl zones before it, left a pretty big impression. The other one would probably be stepping through the...

    Poll: So, what are you picking up on 11/18?

    Nothing for me though I'll definitely pick up Farcry 4 further down the line. Right now I'm 80 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles and way too dead set on finishing that before I even look at picking up something else. I'm also fairly interested in the new Dragon Age, but given ME3 and DA2 will...

    I (Still) Have a Problem With Dark Souls.

    I don't really see where you get the idea that the game has a huge focus on leveling. The levels are basically only important in so far as to get the stats for the weapon you want to use, beyond that it's pretty pointless to actually level up. That also seems like a really boring way to play the...
