    God of War Ragnarok Thread

    Hngggg that is tempting, thank you. I was planning on getting it secondhand, but 30 bucks ain't bad... Guess I'll see, if they announce a PC port any time soon I might hold off.

    God of War Ragnarok Thread

    Looks like the game is half off right now on the PS Store. Anyone play this on a base PS4? How did it hold up?

    Staying at home is the norm... What are you reading?

    Just finished the TMNT Last Ronin comic. Having heard so much about it, I was quiteeeee meh about it. I'm no huge TMNT fan, so maybe that's why I wasn't particularly invested in these characters dying off. There was one particular character that I had never heard of before and yet was an...

    The last thing we watched, cartoon/animu edition

    I thought that whatever the fuck was before the final episode they put out was indeed gorgeous. The Rumbling was a sight to behold. But the final episode felt pretty generic, you can only do so much with CGI Titans fighting on a big CGI Titan. My girlfriend was especially not a fan of how for...

    The Escapist Countdown to Shutdown Thread: What’s Next?

    I was around for Sterling and Critical Miss, even Movie Bob. I think Gamergate, or at least the majority of the fallout of it, was right about when I stopped visiting the site. I barely remember what it was even about anymore.

    What have you purchased recently?

    I too bought a phone, because I have a trip coming up and the top centimeter of my current phone's screen not working mighttt cause some trouble. I think I've said this before on the forums, but it is shocking how affordable smartphones are these days. I wonder if they've adopted the console...

    The Escapist Countdown to Shutdown Thread: What’s Next?

    I watched Yahtzee's and Nick's interview on Friends Per Second. It occurred to me that while I was vaguely aware that the Escapist (both the website itself and the forums) had a terrible reputation before V2, I was too busy graduating from high school and then surviving college to have...

    That is fucking silly.

    They fired the Escapist's editor, and the video team, Yahtzee resigns

    Would he be? Considering they just fucking fired him on the day and locked him out of his company email, he could totally have lost access himself to the password. Our company uses a password manager for example. I'd say he could easily refuse to help them in any way, so long as he's not...

    What are you currently playing?

    Yeahhhh I could't take any more of Wild Lands. The cycle of get in a car > wait 5 seconds for idiot teammates to run to the car > wait even more as their vehicle entry animations play > drive somewhere > repeat just broke me. It's incredibly satisfying to sneak around, scan for enemies with...

    General Gaming News.

    Anyone else see this? I only know the Completionist as my least favorite member of the FPS podcast, but this was still a shocker.

    Super agree on the combat, both brawling and stealth. The ninjas and some of the Knight's goons are incredibly annoying since they have quite difficult parry timings, and yet they come in so late into the game and add on to an already diverse array of enemy types so you never develop the...

    Far Cry 6 Impressions - Amazon broke street date!

    I was surprised to see a notification for this thread pop up, wow a new Far Cry game??? Completely forgot that this was the 6th, mixed it up with 5.

    I think what's making it feel incredibly long is that a lot of the skill tree is for some fucking reason tied to collectibles. I can already tell that the only way I can finish this game is by focusing on story missions only.
