Finally finished the last of Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers and got started on Endwalker. All I can say is, what a truly spectacular expansion this was. A Realm Reborn was good by MMORPG story standards but extremely weak for a Final Fantasy narrative, Heavensward was great but had a really weak …

I finally got the plague last week. Wasn't bad but I was groggy enough to rule out everything that needed any kind of concentration, so I needed something light to kill time during quarantine and I happened to buy The Sims 2 a while back so I figured to give it a whirl. The last time I had played …

I've been playing through some of the FMV games that span multiple disks. I'm working on the Tsunami games now, Silent Steel and Flash Traffic. I've only ever played FMV games via Steam/GOG releases or by ripping the CDs into iso files. I can't imagine how maddening it must be to play them if you …

I think the best structure for an open world type of game is something like Yakuza, where instead of a massive world that dazzles with scale but is ultimately either barren with large stretches of nothing (the Bethesda approach) or filled with meaningless copy-pasted busywork (the Ubisoft sandbox), …

Still picking my way through Final Fantasy XIV. Finally finished Stormblood and reached the start of Shadowbringers. What I heard was right: it's better than ARR but not as good as Heavensward. Still, it was enjoyable and I'm excited to see where things go next. I've also started messing with macros …

This stuff ain't that old, but: I'm currently playing Cadence of Hyrule and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 , both on the Nintendo Switch system. C.O.H. is quite retro, as it's basically a 2D Zelda game where the combat is timing/beat -based. For people who love both 2D Zeldas, and the music of Zelda games …

Thanks, I have it apart and bits are at work, so it'll probably be this weekend before I get to try that. In the meantime, let's just go all out if we're playing Ultima VI: ultima6.jpeg A few years back we went to a gaming convention in Oklahoma and I bought this boxed copy. The box is not in good …

There is a funny thing about it... it has never been released on Steam, but if you redeem your CD key on Steam you obtain the Half-Life Platinum Pack (Half-Life 1, plus both expansions, Team Fortress Classic, Ricochet and some other things). Huh, I actually own Platnium Pack, and redeemed one of …

Still mainly playing Final Fantasy XIV. I'm a little bit into Stormblood, taking a break to level some gatherer classes. It's kinda nice as a time-waster: I can just have the TV on in the background, run between nodes, and vibe. It is very frustrating, however, to have bought the game at full price …

I've gone as far as I can in the main story of Final Fantasy XIV during the free trial, so before I subscribe and move on I'm currently slowing down to try out a few different jobs, see if there are any I especially like. Machinist already seems pretty cool, though I'm not sure yet if I like it more …

Been on my NES doing the first Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) and posting to youtube. I plan to record all 4. II and III will be my first time completing them. Im the most seasoned at 1 I and IV. Ive also been doing a bunch of Random Atari 2600 games while I tune up to do some DOS/Windows stuff in …

I should try it. Your description reminded me of another series of puzzle games I enjoyed, also not an adventure game per se, is the "Forever Lost" series (played it on an iPad). While sometimes feeling like an escape room, it is closer to a traditional adventure game, in the sense that items and …

I really can't stand adventure games where you can die / end up in an unwinnable situation. Same. I started my life in gaming playing Humongous Entertainment point-and-clicks at... probably around 2 years old but I honestly don't even remember what age for certain (or even which game was my first!) …

Shout-out to the lesbian catgirl couple I met in Limsa last night who were extremely patient carrying me through the Coils of Bahamut so I could see the story content there. I can honestly say I think Final Fantasy XIV has the coolest community of any online game I've played. (I first tried doing …

Hit the first credits roll in FFXIV. Enjoying the game well enough, though the story makes me wince a lot. Looot of stuff here that makes me really dislike the nations I'm ostensibly supposed to sympathize with. Predatory ultracapitalism, colonialism while painting the colonized as savages, poor …

Only problem is I chose Archer/Bard for my starting job and queuing for the duty finder as DPS is a nightmare. I end up waiting an obscenely long time to get into anything. [img] Play tank for instant invite. :D On the other hand I don't know how I would have survived my time pre-chocobo without …

My friends finally got me to cave and start Final Fantasy XIV a little less than a week ago. Enjoying it a fair bit so far, just got a mount and my first jobstone yesterday. The story has been pretty meh so far but it's still a lot more in-depth than you'd expect for an MMO and I do appreciate that. …

Yeah I'm not sure what you mean about illogical puzzles in Monkey Island 1, either. Even in the second game, the worst it ever really gets is one where the solution is a stupid pun. I think Escape is the first time the series really got infected by moon logic, and that one's rightly panned as the …
