The drama surrounding Hogwarts Legacy is hilarious to me for no other reason that I love how we've come full circle from the days when people got mad about people shouting "Snape kills Dumbledore" to now people posting spoilers for the game.

Also, I recently watched a let's play stream of Hi-Fi Rush, and goddamn the game is filled to the brim with charm. (Far better than the initial "this game looks like RWBY" impressions that I originally got from it. Ha ha stupid male MC aside.) Plus the soundtrack seems better and more focused than No Straight Roads' was. (And I guess I'm not the only person to think so, since its director got upset at the unfavorable comparisons.) Though I'm not sure how much I'd personally connect to its gameplay. Since I haven't played many rhythm games.

@SleepingSilence

HI-FI RUSH ABSOLUTELY FUCKS THE FIRST BOSS IS SET TO A NINE INCH NAILS SONG IT RIPS SO MUCH HOLY FUCK

Sorry I had to get that off of my chest. But anyway yes HFR is fucking dope as hell. I've always loved character action games and this is a fuckin good one that doubles as a rhythm game but the beautiful thing is you don't really have to engage with it (I mean, you do if you want to S rank stuff) because the game will hit attacks on the beat automatically if you don't do it yourself. Pressing your attack combos in time with the beat does more damage but even if you're off timing or just not caring, all attacks from you and enemies attack on the beat so it becomes this wonderful, vibrant, musical dance.

If ya'll got GamePass I highly suggest playing it. It fuckin owns easy 5/5 game.

Summer Break, Slice of Life Concept

I'm interested

The 'Official' Elden Ring thread

I played the game as a high int/dex spell sword using carian greatsword and stuff which would be notable other than as soon as I got the dark moon greatsword I respecced to use that and my spells and pretty much cheesed the fuck out of the game with weapon arts and magic. I was gonna try out a strength/faith build since I never even found Goldmask or that storyline in my playthrough but then I didn't and haven't played it since.

Blue sword go brr.

What shows/movies are you watching?

Finally watched the 2nd Avatar this weekend in theaters. Both visually and in regards to the setting the movie is stellar, but the writing is the weakest link to the entire movie, I feel. It's a 3 hour film with no resolution and almost feels like a slog fest at times.

@Kuro

I think the writing was fine but in regards to the resolution I can understand that. Sure the immediate problem was resolved but it very much felt like a 'this is the first part of a multiple part story' by the ending and it's probably just because a third (and fourth and fifth) movie are on the horizon that James Cameron can just blatantly get away with that on top of introducing things and just handwaving it away like "don't worry about it yet it's not important until the next movie." I kinda respect the balls to do something like that even within like the first five minutes. "Yeah the scientist lady who died in the first movie? Her avatar had a kid. Don't ask how it just did. Also the kid has special powers don't worry about it, not important. Also whale brains are the key to immortality who gives a fuck not important."

I watched You People and I know the year just started but that's a real front runner for the worst shit I'll see all year

I want to trust Bethesda again. But Fallout 4. Let alone 76.

@BangoSkank

Good thing Redfall is by Arkane who only put out bangers and games that are fun but are forgotten in two months like Deathloop!

High On Life is free if you have Game Pass

I said it had more jokes that land, that doesn't mean I said it was good.

Both games also have options to turn down the chatter.
