ftl status: finally beat the rebel flagship, that thing is bullshit

I had ridiculously good luck and great weapons/augments/crew and still nearly lost like 4 times

only thing that saved me was having a bunch of drone parts and a hull repair drone to fix my ship up between every single encounter, and having my missiles cause huge breaches/fires almost every single shot

dis honored was kind of a secret goty that everyone forgot because we are dumbshit gamers with no taste
i bought the daud ones when they came out because I enjoyed the main game so much

the 'trials' are kinda interesting but require a bit too much speed-runner style thinking for my tastes

I always thought that demons souls was a way neater game setting-wise than dark souls even if dark souls plays way better. demons souls might be the most oppressive game ever
Demons Souls still has the best area designs imo; Tower of Latria being about the best

like anita's videos are really loving boring sorry

the most hosed up game I've played that was for a console was Haunting Ground and I don't think she's covered that yet, is she like saving it or something because its way way way more offensive than the retarded "OH MY GOD, YOU CAN KILL *WOMEN* IN THIS SANDBOX MURDER GAME" poo poo

her videos are boring but the outrage it brings out in people is so loving delightful

also i guess u ahvent played many games

the premise of Haunting Ground is to not get raped by a 500 year-old alchemist who wants to get the main character pregnant with himself via some alchemic ritual, and features a cut scene where at one point he captures her and literally gives her a pelvic exam to determine the exact best time to rape her

and this isn't some weird obscure h-game, it was released on the PS2 by a major publisher

lol if you havent got really bored of impotent outrage ~*on the internet*~ by now

haunting ground was mega hosed up but so was rule of rose which is basically the same game but instead of creepy old dude rape its getting murdered by little girls as a little girl
Rule of Rose has:

-Heavily implied child molestation
-Implied abortion from above
-Child abandonment
-Children beating a dog to death
-Children burying another child alive and other torture
-A girl using a deranged man to kill all the children at the orphanage because the main character spurned her love

rented haunting ground thinking it was a survival horror game, bought rule of rose for $3 from a bargain bin since it looked weird/interesting and it turned up mostly being the former

3,4,5 happen within the first fifteen minutes, the dog survives though if its any consolation and he is your only friend
idk about the rest of it i got to the first combat scene and thought to myself 'i saved the dog ive done enough' and never went back
nah the dog is dead, you're reliving the main character's hosed up childhood

also all of the other kids died

D3+RoS is pretty good and fixed a lot of problems with the game, and the new areas are pretty nice.

I lost interest around the time I got two of my characters to the point where the only way to advance them further would be to grind out very specific, perfectly-rolled items...which is kinda pointless so yeah.

mmo moneypit deathwatch update: Wildstar going to "megaservers", which are totally not server mergers, they're "megaservers". totally not merging servers since no one can get groups together for their totally-not-a-terrible-idea-in-tyool-2014 40-man raids

Also I don't think anyone has actually cleared the 40-man raid yet.

Strangely enough, making 40-man raids which are ridiculously hard and require all 40 players to be on the ball/not lagging/present for hours on end hasn't generated the amount of subscriber retention they've been told would happen by the poopsockers who abandoned WoW because Blizzard gave into the dumb casual players

i remember back when vanguard: saga of heroes was in beta they were trying to court the hardcore everquest players and some of them made the serious suggestion that you have to hit a button every few seconds during flight paths to flap its wings or some poo poo, because going afk is for casuals

its like mmo players live in some weird bubble where they confuse taking a long time for challenge, and as a result the actual gameplay of mmos is idiot trash garbage and now its a dead genre
mmos are being killed by the fact that like every game that isn't an explicitly single-player experience is getting seamless drop-in-drop-out multiplayer, matchmaking, etc centered around shorter play sessions

the only way an MMO will ever hit WoW numbers again is if they somehow pull off something completely insane like a ludicrously huge and well-done sandbox, or Eve but not for autists
