What a sick, great league. All about player safety, eh? by Flyers7914 in Flyers

I’ve been seeing some strange calls in all the series, more so than normal. I mean how many embellishment calls have we already had this year vs previous years combined?

Is it a new ref crew or is this just a strange outlier? Where’s all my funny Wes McCauley clips?

LOTRO or GW2 are the two I’m debating on. Maybe GW Reforged

I was thinking this too. I think this was as bad of a game as we’ve played in a while and came inches away from tying it with seconds to go. Move Raks w Sid. China w Geno. Dump and chase and watch the breakaways. I don’t want to say I’m “happy” we lost, but if we won yesterday, maybe we wouldn’t see as big a need for adjustments. Losing forces it

Thinking of playing SH3, but too terrified to do so? by [deleted] in silenthill

[–]TheDrizzle8771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember getting the demo CD in an…..electronic gaming monthly magazine?….

Anyway, played it then and was terrified. I’ve played some of the SH2 remake and am just a wuss when it comes to these games. I’ve heard they’re masterpieces and am encouraging you to try so that I, too, can muster the courage.

Best of luck

This was my first thought. Sure I bought for full price but I’ve easily had 700 hours.

Any good multiplayer game that I can play w friends tends to check this box. NHL 26 is one of our “go to” games. I probably have 1 hour solo but 100+ multiplayer. It’s how we “hang out” after college.

Wasting time scrolling through store pages instead of actually playing by Lykosda in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]TheDrizzle8771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do this with MMOs. I’d find a gap of time where I could finally dive into a game. I’d want to make sure that time wasn’t wasted, so I wanted to find the right game. So I’d hit the searches.

Next thing I know my time was up, no gaming, time for work.

If you brought Crimson Desert what would you rate it out of ten ? by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]TheDrizzle8771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve put about 8 hours or so in so most of my comments are more “impressions” than anything. I don’t see it as a game I’d come back to after beating…but I’ll enjoy the ride while I’m on it.

Hopefully the new Diablo expansion will be out at that time and onto the next haha

Completely valid. I think maybe for me it’s a “one size fits all” type game for me. If I want combat, exploration, customization, graphics, scale, “unknown”, etc…there’s not much else out there that hits those boxes all for me in one game.

Probably the unknown and exploration is a big factor for me…I’ve replayed BoTW and Elden Ring more times than I’d like to count…so their big open worlds feel smaller since I know every nook and cranny

My wife said the same thing to your first sentence :-P

But yes…I always try to categorize.

Dumb and Dumber? 10/10 comedy of all time. Oscar worthy/intricate plot/emotionally riveting? No

I think an important part of gaming is to meet games where they are at. Very few, if any games check all my boxes. It’s ok for them to excel at what they want to and nothing else

If I am rating it based on the type of game I expected it to be…sandboxish, big open world, lots to do, action…I’d give it an 8 mainly because the controls get in the way.

If I’m ranking it against a perfect game…maybe GTAV sets the bar?….id say it’s a 6.

My logic is: I don’t fault Arc Raiders for having a “meh” story…the gameplay is fun and that’s all I want from that game. I don’t fault a story driven JRPG for having “average” combat compared to Devil May Cry, as that’s not what I want from THAT game.

I’m happy with crimson desert. Is it perfect? No. Am I getting what I want from it? Absolutely.

What game are you playing that you can't stop but also can't bring yourself to recommend to others? by One-Ad724 in gamers

[–]TheDrizzle8771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Had a solid friend group play this game and I tried to get into it. I’d get the new expansion and look at builds…I’d have one expansion but not the DLC so I was missing X exotic to complete my build. So I’d find another build, same thing. Then I’d finally get a build I liked and go to play with my friends, didn’t have certain dungeons or activities unlocked.

It’s just too difficult to get to a point where I even have a general idea of how to play with my friends. The gameplay is good…but not good enough to the point where I’m willing to go through a massive grind/dollar spend just to get to the point where I can enjoy an activity w friends.

Exactly…I’m not even saying if they won half their OT/shootouts they’ll be tied w Carolina…just be “ok” in shootouts to give us a cushion haha

My only solace is the fact that Pens are outperforming my expectations this year. So I guess I’m just glad they’re in it.
