Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 282: 5/27/23: Street Fighter 6 (and a Special Proposition and Memorial Day 2023) Edition

Games added: Alan Wake Remastered Last week: Finished nothing, played Tears of the Kingdom. This week: Tears of the Kingdom. TotK absolutely lives up to the hype. The game is phenomenal. It's massive in size and scope, but it never feels padded or empty - it's not big for the sake of being big, it'...

Re: The Haul Thread 2023

Oh snap, I can't believe I forgot old man: the fishing in FF15 is ridiculous! You're going to love it. Each of the bros is good at a thing that they level up in. Noctis's thing is fishing. It's really a deep system I wholly chose to not engage with. It's such a big deal that the fishing got a PS VR...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 281: 5/20/23: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Edition

You are correct argyle. Sadly, multiplayer only. That's why I sent this trailer to my Xbox game pass playing best friend ( who was my Lost Planet 2 ride or die) this trailer and he was sold instantly because it's on that service day one you lucky jerks :P . So I know who I'm playing with. If you wa...

izzy, I am going to assume you look and sound like David Putty going forward :P. Midnight Suns is my kind of hype. I don't know if y'all would dig it but I am looking forward to digging into it some more. But more importantly, y'all remember how I wouldn't shut the **** up about Lost Planet 2 and h...

Re: The Haul Thread 2023

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/JucAAOSw8AdjK220/s-l1600.jpg I've heard from three friends now that this is really good. I find it hard to believe, but I'm going to give it a shot. Did any of you folks play it? I played the vanilla version & enjoyed it. It has some pacing issues, but from what I...

I loved BotW, but TotK is an improvement in every way.

Games added: Nothing Last week: Finished nothing, played Tears of the Kingdom This week: Tears of the Kingdom I can just go ahead & copy/paste this update for the next few weeks. Zelda is amazing, and absolutely massive - not in a huge empty world w/ nothing to do just to be big kind of way, bu...

Games added: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Last week: Finished nothing, played Evil West, Grindstone, Tears of the Kingdom This week: Tears of the Kingdom TotK is amazing, and just from what I've played this weekend it will almost definitely be my GotY. Best open-world exploration since...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 279: 5/6/23: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition

6 hours into FF1, beat the earth boss, and now on my way to the fire boss (I don't recall there being anything to do in between...technically I could go to the ice cave first and do class change, but I'll stick to the conventional route). Much nostalgia there. I first played that on NES and then th...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 279: 5/6/23: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition

Man, that FF trophy banner image is really cool. :) I want that set, but I don't have any nostalgia for the old FF's because I've never played them, so the price seems a little steep to me right now. I believe I have 4 chapters left in Evil West, but of course I'll be picking up Zelda when I leave w...
