I think most RPGs with random battles are a chore to play these days. I was just broken by my last run of FF6 - I was trying to get out of a cave dungeon in the world of ruin and it felt like there was a 30+ second random battle every 5 seconds on the map. Looking back, random battles totally crush the mood/immersion of the dungeon that the music and setting create. Chrono Trigger had it figured out all those years ago, it's a shame it took most RPGs so long to catch up. A game like Octopath coming out still using random battles is a head-scratcher to me.

What about your blood glucose? You really ingested nothing other than water for 40 days? I get shaky after just 24 hours of no food. I didn't even think 40 days was possible without at least some negative side-effects on your body in the long term (past the end of the 40 day water diet).

What's the best system to play Dragon Quest Builders 2 on?
Empire replied to harleyqbx's topic in Video Games
I would say go for PC. Better performance/load times, mod capabilities, and because it’s not cross platform. Also text size is small and you want a large display. I put in 100 hours on Switch since that’s my primary system. It’s sufficient for the main campaign but if you’re looking to do multiplayer or build any decently sized projects the switch will be under too much strain. -
Times when you were attacked in games, but still felt like a murderer?
Empire replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Playing games like that, I really never thought about that as a game murderer 😛 It's a game, doesn't matter what we do, all games that we play we always end up killing in the game. GTA, CSGO, Hell let loose. I think the difference with The Last of Us and Uncharted is that The Last of Us kind of sells us on that as a normal part of their world at that point. Nathan Drake doesn't really have the same excuse. That might be why IGN loves to call him the most notorious mass murder of all-time. -
EA Is Looking To Sell Or Merge The Company, According To Report
Empire replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming News
Always happy to hear the gaming news bro, you're doing a great job bud. My overall opinion on the EA selling/merging is mainly reliant on whether we the gamers even recognize EA as a gaming company presently. Surely the stockbrokers/holders always foresee that if a company doesn't have "their audience" in mind than ultimately the future of that company may be in a different industry But if that SOB andrew wilson insists on staying on than nothing will change really. Just hope that whoever the winning bidder is, they will get rid of wilson & clean house at ea & restore some luster to all those gaming IPs owned by ea. -
Games that are less than the sum of it's parts?
Empire replied to NightmareFarm's topic in Gaming Forum
Surprised nobody said Destiny yet. Top of the line AAA graphics, amazing gunplay, competent multiplayer but it all kinda added up to... meh. Obviously the story was a hot mess but that wouldn’t have been an issue if the gameplay were more interesting. You can blame the writing for that. Basically every spoken line in the game was either merely informational or filler. They built this awesome world, and then told you nothing about it. Instead you just listen to dumb jokes all day long. -
Congratulations to VGR and all it's members to help to reach that achievement of the life of the site 🙂 WOunder how long it would take to get to the next highest point 🙂

Even going to the coldest room with no carpets with feet on the floor is good

Indeed, hard to do it on Xbox 😛

Pick my image and be twins 😛

My grandperants do still, they can do both but they rather just talk to them on the phone rather then reading and texting. Regards to me, I'm aren't fussed. Depends at the end of the day. text are alright to send information fast and to and from, but it's just as fast to call them speak and do it that way

Does gaming help anyone here who has dissociative issues?
Empire replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
As someone who has dealt with depression and anxiety I agree. I like playing them but I'd say they can polarize my mood. At best if things are bad I can ignore it for hours. At worst I stop playing mid session and dwell on the fact I'm playing video games when I could be doing something else and suddenly I'm 10 times worse than before. I think it also depends on the game. If I'm playing something I'm actually invested in, the time spent feels more "worth it" than if I'm just booting something up because I want to play a game but dont actually know what to play. -
Absolute silence or regular background noise. I am distracted by every noise, especially talking. I find that I need background noise to get started and then it becomes distracting once I’ve gotten into the focus mode and I turn it off

I’ve learned to appreciate the loudness of my gaming laptop fan
Empire replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Normal to hear them becoming more loud and heat coming out from the system, more you open and the more things that you do, like gaming. Yet why post about it. Normal. Gaming laptops are just loud, you can make it slightly less annoying by using one of those cooling pads with a couple of fans in it but it won't really change the fact that your laptop is going to be somewhat noisy. -
Keep your feet cool! And your neck. They're both pulse points and putting an ice pack or a cool cloth on them can do wonders. I live in England, I just open the window for a bit and let the rain in. And even when it's sunny it never really gets much above 25 degrees. WHen we do get over 30c, doesn't last a week 😛 only a day or two

I'm single and I doubt that I will be with a good-looking girl, but I say 10 years is good. even though I would not go that far with 10 years. However, if you are 18 years old and you full in love with a 90-year-old OMG you are crazy, how can a 90 year old have a baby and last 50 years

Has anyone here ever ended up with a bricked console?
Empire replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Nope Ihad no experienced or had to experienced before, that's a good thing right 😛 -
I do like to play and lissern to musics but it depends on what I'm doing or what I'm allowed to do. Streaming and playing MUsic on twitch is a no no 😞 However I can play music and I can hear it but not others on stream. I tend to drive and play music.

Has happen to old and new games, Eco is a good server based game, oncemyou start and get into the game you tend to can't stop Xd and it's one of those games that you can put hours into it then leave it to die and then back into it again.

Is The Last Of Us part 3 ever going to be a reality?
Empire replied to Clasher's topic in Video Games
It’s interesting that Last Of Us 3 will be here soon. Honestly, they should have done better with part 2 storyline. Also I’m looking forward to the TV-Show as well. We’ll have to see how it goes with the timeline. On top of that, there have been rumors that Naughty Dog is working on Uncharted 5. -
Why are release windows/dates announced so late for some games?
Empire replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I feel like Xbox themselves don’t know for certain when the game is coming out, and know just the same as we do- Holiday 2022. So placing it at that point- between confirmed November and December releases- is more of a “safe bet” kind of situation. Release windows/dates shift all the time, so it’s still difficult to say for certain. All this confirms is that everyone is still expecting the game to release in Holiday 2022. -
I myself still have two VCRs video players 😉 they have DVDs players in them also. I do not use them much anymore as I stream on Amazon or netflix but they are there to keep and not throw away. I want to try and last. End of the day I still got videos laying around.
