Not sure if I should go home and download DS2 DLC or keep playing Fallout New Vegas

I'm digging it quite a bit. It's definitely the hardest thing that Fromsoft has released since the OG Dark Souls imo...which is a good thing. The main game's PvE, while good, doesn't quite hit the mark for a Souls game.

I've now encountered 2 bosses and haven't been able to get past either. Shit's fuckin' rough, man.

That's good news.
I've almost beaten New Vegas (for the like 5th time) so I'm going to stick to that to the end before getting into the new DLC
Still need to beat the final boss for the first DLC too, I think I need to suck it up and summon people for help

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. I don't want to be that guy that keeps talking about it.


But the Metro Redux is really, really good. 2033 now plays like LL - the Stealth sections are realistic and solid, you can non lethally take down enemies and even when using silenced weapons you need to be careful about timing your shots right. The overall gameplay is better balanced and the difficulty is the right amount of being harsh without being shameless bullet sponges. Also, interestingly enough, I'm running the game on Ultra/1440p with PhysX and it's playing smoother and looks better than the previous iterations.


Unfortunately, the children voice actors are still... odd...


So get it if your interested?

I love this kind of shit so much.

The Morrowind one is so weird.

I just bought both Metro games when they were on sale earlier this summer. Still haven't played them. So I really can't justify buying the games again, but this sounds pretty great

Ended up buying a Nixeus Moda.

It's really nice. I highly recommend it. It feels like luxury typing.

I love online gamers.
I'm a NOOB for using a shotgun and a FAG when I jump in their face with an uzi after running out of shotgun ammo.

I just downloaded SNES9X for my phone and started playing Final Fantasy 6 again. Best game ever!

I always liked FF4 [SNES FF2] better as there was just too much stuff with the relics and I wasnt into doing all the character so the end when you needed 3 teams was a bit of a grind. My favorite is the game boy advance rerelease of FF1 on the Dawn of Souls cart... the main game is updated nicely, and the extra dungon bosses are really a challenge and made me realize how important the spell "temper" is

Side question, are there websites besides craigslist and ebay where I should post old SNES games that I want to sell for buyers to see? I have games just sitting that I woudl sell for some collector seeking it out, but dont want to deal with ebay fees or having to bump a carisglist add weekly.

My brother is putting together an emulator on a PSP with an insane amount of NES, SNES, Genesis and Neo-Geo games on it. I've played his and it's pretty awesome. My goal is to just play all of the terrible games of my youth first and then eventually get to the good ones again. I figure it's a better way to spend my commute than nodding off on the train to work.

[Andrew]

Smashed it through Metro, really satisfied.

Playing Diablo 3 again, haven't played it since 2012 and it does feel a lot different. My Demon Hunter feels underpowered, my Wizard is still pretty good. But started a new Monk and demolishing everything, I just love dungeon crawlers.

Shit's getting real.

Damn it, Dark Souls II. Trying this bastard again.
Finally figured out that there is a place to go besides that castle area full of giants.
I keep hitting X to attack and using all of my freaking lifegems.
