Very fun game. As close to the new-age Zelda games as it gets. I got flustered by the end by how hard some of the areas were and gave up before beating it. Wish I didn't ##### out, as it's quite enjoyable.

Lol pre-loading Black Ops 7 on Gamepass and launched the game cause I thought it released today (it doesn't), man I hate these modern games with layers of launchers.. and I've had games in the past tell me I need to update my video card drivers, but I think this is the first time a game has told me that it won't run until I update my PC's BIOS...

I can't even begin to comprehend this Black Ops 7 campaign.

What in the hell has happened to Call of Duty...

Lol I've been reading the reviews of the campaign, just a bunch of random boring coop missions thrown together where is all giant bosses and crazy stuff (because you're on drugs), maybe 4 hours worth. And those few hours are terrible.

I'm not even going to try it just going to uninstall, so many other actual good games deserve my time.

That's all I care about. I haven't played a COD game since WW2 though.

The last boss of Act 1 was a huge wall for me. I got really freaking good at that runback because of how many times I had to do it.

You're in luck, because I think you'll find that the difficulty curve flattens out in Act 2. There's only 2 more bosses in the game I found more difficult, and one of them is the final boss of the game.

BF6 did the same thing, wants you to enable some setting that's used for anti-cheat

I know Destiny did these promo items if you've completed challenges in game. But I guess Sony is starting to do these as well:

https://blog.playstation.com/2025/09...-for-purchase/

Players who have earned the “Mono No Aware” Gold or “Living Legend” Platinum trophies in Ghost of Tsushima by December 31, 2025 can unlock access to a selection of limited-edition merchandise. These items have been designed to honor the spirit of Jin Sakai’s journey and the dedication of the fans who walked the same path.

EDIT: I didn't realize they also had Yotei stuff too:

I just beat COD WW2 last week. I only care about campaign. The online COD community is way too hardcore for me.

A bit of creative editing there, but...yeah. As I've been getting older, this is how I feel. I've been finding myself turning to single player games, preferably offline. Just not interested in the online aspect anymore, especially the people.

Picked up Dragon Quest 1 & 2 2D-HD Remake the other day.

I'm about halfway through DQ1. Now that's a trip down memory lane, with some really nice QoL improvements, too. Brings me right back to '89...when Dragon Warrior was the first NES game I bought for myself. Good times, good times.

Finished 100%ing it the other day. Really good remake. I seems to have some heavy difficult spikes. A couple bosses took multiple tries and even the occasional random normal fight could take me out with some bad RNG.


I think II is actually the better half, so you're in for a treat when you get to that one. Took one of the worst games of the series (talking NES version) to a really good experience. Postgame is pretty meh (like IIIs was), but I mainly played to relive the main games for these and they were well worth it, though the "true" ending is pretty neat.

I am also enjoying the remake. But it's been long enough that I'm not sure if specific stuff that I am coming across was added or my memory has just faded lol.

I did a double take at the monster names/varieties. Wait, there weren't this many weapons and armor was there? Sigils?

Spoiler!



We still also need a HD-2D remake of FF6.

'Dispatch' was awesome. You watch/play a TV series and get to make decisions that impact things over 8 episodes. Aaron Paul voices the lead character.

Agreed entirely... if it helps, I've found act 2 easier, although getting the double jump was a complete bitch. Actually I'm at a spot now where there's wave after wave of enemy, and I thought I had it beat after I killed this one bigger enemy, only it kept going and eventually two of that same bigger enemy appeared and kicked my ass and that's actually kind of a wall for me right now.

Game is ####ing hard...and this post probably didn't end up helping you at all.
