Also the Painted World in Dark Souls blows. Actually any part of the game does when you don't have a decent weapon.
The lightning spear was an upgrade from the POS I was using, but it's useless here, and the only damaging weapon I found is a crystal one that breaks after like 5 minutes of use.

I've been doing my first play through of Final Fantasy 8 over the last week and Squall is already at level 80. I'm less than 50 hours in.

I don't know how it happened -- I just lost track of time. Sometimes I'm falling asleep at the PS3 controller still battling through bad dudes. Fuck it.

I remember it being ridiculously easy to grind early with Squall against those T-Rexes once you get some Sleep and junction it to the gunblade.
But every 10 levels you gain upgrades the levels of all monsters you fight.
So if Squall is level 80 and the other characters are half that then just about every monster you encounter will seem overpowered to them.

I'm very glad to be the only one out of my gaming friend group to never play WoW or any MMO for that matter

My name is Mudd wrote:I've done that a few times in the past with either Morrowind or Fallout 3.


Planning to start a Morrowind play through with a load of graphics mods, haven't played the game in a long time and I'm a little more eager after playing Dragonborn DLC.

Anyone else interested in the released PS4 specs? I do prefer PCs for practicality and quality.

I am skeptical about the screenshots, they can be produced but whether or not they're just proving how powerful they are or how good the games are going to be. Actually, I don't get how graphics are such a big thing... the best games aren't exactly the most demanding and at least in the PC area, games like Thief, Half Life, System Shock all have community based HD patches.

I don't really like the push for adverts and tightly controlling the gaming market on PS and Xbox

You know what I was most excited about in there? Not the PS4 or anything. Watchdogs. Holy shit that game looks SO. GOOD.

Found my old Tetris cartridge the other day and I've been rocking it! Especially on the toilet.
Although I've gotten the space shuttle...

My tactic of making gigantic yet perfect walls of blocks, then getting quadruple lines with the I-blocks is always my downfall.
But finishing each line as it comes is for chumps. And coke fiends.

Also, unnfffffff FF8's music, so good.

I'd go with Fallout. Skyrim is fun, but I got burnt out pretty quickly on it. Never felt that way about either Fallout games.
