If you can pay for PS+ you can get 2 free games per month and can play them as long as you have an active PS+ sub @Majoras End

Commander Lazer's Guide On How to LARP as Kenshiro In Underrail

1) Pick your stats. Pump up your Dex until it's 10 and then, main Agility.
2) Focus on Melee and Psychokinesis as well as Dodge and Evasion for your skills.
3) For your first feats, pick Sprint (Ability that gives you 30 movement points for 2 turns) and Recklessness (7% extra critical chance for your fists of fury.)
4) You must focus on getting the two most important psionic spells in your build: Force Emission and TK Proxy. This essentially doubles the damage of your fists and with TK Proxy, triples it, as long as you level up Psychokinesis.
5) Get these following feats as you level up.
- Nimble (Lowers Armor Penalty by 15% and provides bonuses to dodge and evasion if your Armor Penalty is at 0)
- Opportunist (25% more damage when stunned or 15% more damage when slowed, incapacitated or dazed)
- Cheap Shots (50% more critical damage for your fists and 15% chance to incapacitate a target.)
- Combo (If you successfully land a third punch, that punch will deal 100% more damage (essentially 2x) and have 20% chance to stun the target.)
- Improved Unarmed Combat (Your fists deal 20% more damage and have a 5% chance to daze target)
- Lightning Punches (The action point cost of your fist is reduced by 2 if your armor penalty is below 20%)
- Fancy Footwork (You gain 8 movements points whenever you hit someone successfully with a melee attack. The maximum amount cannot be higher than double of your total.)
- Critical Power (Increases the damage of your weapon and unarmed critical hits by a further 50%)
- Expose Weakness (Special attack that reduces mechanical resistance and damage threshold by 50%. Devastating on armored enemies)
- Expertise (Increases the damage of your punches by 1 every time you level up. This maxes out to 20 extra damage)
- Force User (The psi cost of Force Emission is reduced down to 4 psi points per use and Force Field and TK Punch become amazing side options.)
- Blitz (Convert all your movement points into action points for a maximum of 20 extra AP)

Essentially, at endgame, your unarmed fists are the most powerful weapon.

- You can attack at least 12 times in a single turn, more, if you have adrenaline.
- At least, 250% critical bonus or more for your fists of power.
- TK Proxy + Force Emission + Damage + High Crit Chance from High Dexterity + Absurd Critical Damage = 100 damage in a single punch.
- Expose Weakness chops down robots or enemies that have absurd armor levels.
- With Fancy Footwork, Sprint and Nimble, you can basically fucking juke around your enemies all day every day.
- Pair this with grenades for AOE damage and you can kill 6 enemies in a single round using only your fists of fury.

If you want to get even more absurd, add in 75 Temporal Manipulation points and suddenly, you gain two important spells: limited temporal increment and psycho-temporal contraction. The former lowers the cooldown of grenades and throwables and your abilities whilst the latter gives you 30 extra points of AP and 20 points of MP.

This means that with Adrenaline, good Tabi boots and luck; you can potentially get up to more than 30 punches a round.

Your worst enemies are: enemies with hit-scan psi spells, super tanky enemies, large amounts of tanky enemies and enemies with high dodge or evasion.

TL;DR: Psi-monks are fucking overpowered as shit.

Why does this chocobo look like he's got five minutes to defeat Frieza before Namek explodes

[GingerBoi123]

@Fabricant451Thanks, I hate it

[SleepingSilence]

*flips through my catalog*

@Majoras End Here's a few.

• Seconded, Bloodborne & Spiderman
• Until Dawn (If you liked Detroit: Become Human.)
• Furi (Good boss rush game.)
• Dust: An Elysian Tale (Good action platformer.)

I recently finished Return of the Obra Dinn. And I loved it. Can never have enough deduction games that are actually good. And I've been attempting to complete, or at least play, all the games in my Steam library. Because it's been long overdue. And yet after watching a few too many youtube reviews, I'm suddenly very interested in playing Hollow Knight and potentially getting it on The Switch for portability sake. Has anyone here played that?

Metroidvanias are like my second favorite genre of video game and Hollow Knight is the best one I've played since Super Metroid. Not that there haven't been really good ones, but Hollow Knight hit me in a way that games haven't in a while. It made me want to scour every area, it had me taking notes in and out of game, and the game has a wonderful visual style and score to tie everything together. I cannot recommend the game enough; I've bought it on three different platforms I love it so much.

@ComradeMaxx is the only one I know of that's played it. But I guess he liked it since he's had Hollow Knight avatars for awhile.

The demo for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake is on PSN now if you wanna try it out.

[Gelatinous Cube]

Big ups to 343 dropping Combat Evolved the way they did. I wish more game companies took a similar approach to marketing. I'm getting real tired of seeing a cool looking game and then waiting three years (minimum) for it.

@Gelatinous Cube

Not about Halo but I've been waiting on a Steam game for to release for several years (the people who backed it even more). It's been on Steam since Greenlight was still a thing, as it was picked through there. Only thing out so far is Part 1, which was just released, and I've heard it's practically just the demo with barely any extra material.

[Dolerman]

I have a strong feeling Bleeding Edge is going to be dissapointing.

@Dolerman

Well it's Ninja Theory so that's pretty much a given. Also the forgettable title hasn't helped it.

[Darcel]

I wanna play Final Fantasy 7 Remake before Corona Virus catches me.

[mickilennial]

Been replaying the newer Tomb Raider games and I don't really see why they were hated as much as they were.
