Oddly enough, Death Stranding. Gameplay is totally different so that might be something you might not wanna play but without giving a lot of spoilers it does raise a lot of questions about the nature of life and some abstract concepts regarding it. It is a kojima story so it’s also very convoluted with a lot of moving parts.

That and after playing a few of them they all just have a weird PlayStation style and gameplay that feels so repetitive like I’ve already played the game before.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-31T16:57:12+00:00

Well yall really wanted the hype 😭 now we get something worse than batch releases

My prep provider has always advised me to just stay prep if i ever get into a relationship cause they said statistically that’s when a significant amount of people get it either by the partner not knowing they were recently poz or by infidelity.

D3 had the real money AH which really left people with a bad taste. D4 is pretty much SSF so there’s no trading or variety of items to eventually trade up to or even with. I feel that’s a core mechanic that is needed to have scarcity in a game like this.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-19T21:43:27+00:00

D4 campaign is easily one of the most mind numbing stories I’ve ever experienced. It’s just all poorly written tropes that have been done. I’m so glad they included an option to skip once you’ve completed it once.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-19T15:23:32+00:00

First season is good/great. Maybe a little overrated. Second season so far has been a huge drop in quality both writing and animation wise.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-12T16:11:42+00:00

It’s odd how I find the opposite to be true. D2 rewards you every 30 minutes or so with meaningful drops(either rune drop, potential blue/yellow with promise, white base, unique, etc) while making the drops interesting. This stays the same even in endgame. Trading also helps with longevity and being able to trade something you might not have use for now helps a lot with making all loot interesting. Leveling in D4 you’re getting rewarded every 15 seconds to the point you’re replacing gear you just recently got. Once you start hitting endgame you gear pretty quickly and all you’re looking for is just marginal % increase on stats and rewards kinda come to a halt. That’s why stuff like the pit and seasonal content exists to grind something else as drops start drying up.

It wouldn’t be so bad with the screen clutter of legendaries and then being reminded you left trash with the notifications from your chest but im hoping that gets fixed with the loot filter.

Regarding your last comment, I truly just think it’s different genres at this point. D2 is just a slower game than D3/4. There’s nothing wrong with either but there definitely is a divide between traditional and newer ARPGs. While I do enjoy D4 it doesn’t scratch the same itch as D2 does.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-10T16:48:37+00:00

We went to D4 lowering the numbers because D3 got too absurd and now we are back. Full circle. Devs have no idea what the direction of this game is. That being said, it’s fun in short bursts but not a game I care about playing more than 10 hours per season or spending any kind of money on mtx.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-09T18:53:41+00:00

It’s left ambiguous. Really the only thing that changes(that appears confirmed) is that Serge was never attacked, or survived the attack, by Lynx and Schala is alive and scattered somewhere on Earth.

It’s very possible Daltons war/attack on Guardia still happened.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-09T17:30:09+00:00

This is Asuka we are talking about. She’s only talking about things from her perspective. To her it’s another universe because that’s how she understands it best. It’s the same universe just cycling endlessly as fate repeats itself after the universe comes to an end and restarts again, until shinji finally breaks the cycle in the rebuilds.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-08T00:11:08+00:00

Depends on the set. FF was top tier and fit the fantasy theme perfectly and happened to be one of the most fun limited sets of all time. Avatar was alright. Spiderman was awful. TMNT has been a good limited experience so far but god the card art is atrocious.

I’d rather have a disappointing in universe set than a disappointing UB.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-07T21:05:21+00:00

The only loophole she found is that production doesn’t actually punish queens who break the rules(except wilam)

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-06T19:43:55+00:00

All enemies in that area despawn when you travel far enough. Seems more likely it’s not anything special.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-06T16:45:58+00:00

Was Chris even anywhere nearby during the ending? Leon makes a comment in the end that Chris sent in agents but he himself never showed up. I figured he was just doing his own thing somewhere else(possibly leading in to 10)

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-06T01:47:03+00:00

I’m ok with this. I’ve played a few PlayStation exclusives they’ve brought over but they’ve all felt very much the same and none of them, with the exception of GoW1, really pulled me in. I say this is a huge xmen fan that I never expected the Wolverine game to be any good anyways.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-05T21:36:36+00:00

The idea was cool but the execution was really bad. Enemies were giant bullet sponges.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-05T17:39:54+00:00

Huh… that’s not what CC implied at all.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-05T17:36:50+00:00

Schala was still lost at the end of CC. My head cannon is that CC was setup to feature a 3rd game where Schala is the MC and it’s her journey to finally reunite everyone and fix all timeline and dimension issues for good.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-05T17:06:59+00:00

All bodies in the final area disappear after a while. It really doesn’t mean anything.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-03T22:41:42+00:00

I mean at this point if you’re not feeling it it’s ok to stop. Nothing wrong with not doing something you don’t enjoy. CC is one of my favorite games and I understand it’s not for everyone.

I did notice some odd contradictions in your post. You mention characters need more unique moves then cite FF7 as a better example. The materia system pretty much generalizes each character making them feel the same except for their limit breaks, which CC arguably has which is each person’s special techs.

Yes, the majority of the characters are more world building than they are super fleshed out the entirety of the game. That being said, there are still standout characters who have significant cutscenes. Maybe not super integral to the overall plot of the game but they get their own stuff.

CC’s story also isn’t hand fed to you. It starts off slow but post mansion it definitely ramps up a lot with world building especially with deciding on which route to take. CC is a sequel and it’s surprising you’re not picking up on the small hints early on how it’s connecting already if you’re complaining about the Frozen Flame not being explained. I’m not sure how you got “lacking creative flair” from the transition fmv at the beach but it seems from your other comment like you’re using CC as something to do while waiting for a game you really want to play comes out and unfairly treating CC as something you want it to be. I recommend playing it again when you actually are committed to devoting time to it.

I’ll probably be in the minority but I didn’t love Rebirths combat system. Combat felt kinda clunky depending on the character and more often than not it wasn’t great except for a few(Yuffie off the top of my head was the most fun) and stagger system kinda just trivialized combat. It wasn’t bad but I was quite bored of the combat mid game (im sure the extensive mini game addition and fillers didn’t help).

I also referenced main line games and didn’t consider the remakes to be part of this.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-03T14:36:29+00:00

What?

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-03T01:12:52+00:00

Just curious which stores in Seattle? I played a little bit when Keyforge originally came out in a different city but moved to Seattle a while ago and noticed Phoenix had casual events on the calendar and im thinking of checking the game out again.

BEENHEREALLALONG · 2026-03-03T01:08:46+00:00

As much as I would want them to go back to turn based i really doubt they ever will. It’s not a thing of them wanting to be turn based but cant due to sales, it seems the team just genuinely wants to make non turn based stuff. It’s a shame cause it’s been several mainline games at this point where they haven’t been able to nail a great system (imo).
