The loot is there,but there's not much of it and it's hard to come by. On the plus side, you do end up with some really nice 'hand crafted' items. On the down side, it takes some serious grinding to level them up.

It's all about the shooting gameplay. If it hooks you, you won't care. I'm probably done with it for a long while apart from the odd PvP match; the news that I'll need to re-grind my exotic weapons following the latest patch is enough to put me off for a while.

Good shooters are a dime a dozen nowadays, so those MMO features are what makes the game for me and they feel, not great, like they saw games having this stuff but didn't really understand what made them fun but put them in anyway and tried to get away with it.

I dunno, I just want some crates to break and find meseta / vendor trash in :(

Didn't try the crucible yet though, will probably do that when I pick up the full version.

edit: also I went with Titan because punching things in the face is fun, but the starter shotgun it gives you might possibly be the worse shotgun I've ever used in a game.

The shotguns are weird. They all feel really spongy to me.

The MMO features are really bare-bones, aren't they? The problem is that the worlds (although beautiful) aren't big enough to give any sense of scale. I'm not sure about the whole 'gets better at level 20' line, but the raid is easily the best thing about it.
 
yayyy it is christmas time so now work plays 33 midi covers of traditional songs over and over again until i finally lose it and kill someone.

Also, I am very tired today. E was really bad last night. Much crying on both of our parts. Sigh. Cannot wait for today to end.

hope today gets better for e and yourself sploats, you're a good egg.

Guns n Roses are too heavy for me.
Is 1D too heavy for you, too?

On a sidenote, apparently quoting Friends in an opening message to a girl is a sure-fire way to win their heart.Years ago, when I was backpacking across western Europe. I was just outside Barcelona, hiking in the foothills of mount Tibidabo...

It's really a shame because the idea of a FPS PSO like sounds amazing. Hopefully the sequel will be better and Destiny will be to PSO what Borderlands is to Diablo (and I'm not even the biggest fan of Borderlands but it does get what it was trying to do). Also the raids still don't have matchmaking right? That kinda puts me off.

destiny's big crime regarding raids is that any ither game would allow you to find a raiding party in the social hub via text or voice. apparently that's too social for this socially-focused game.

I don't like 1D because they look like horrible, arrogant people. I love P!NK, Olly Murrs and old JRPG soundtracks (<3 FFIV OST!)

Ta. Life, eh?

Does the game even have text chat? Not seen anything whenever I'm hanging around the tower.

Nope. That's why I gave up with it for now. Organising a raid or nightfall is just too much work for someone with a job and responsibilities. It takes about half an hour to get a team together, PSN is always under strain and then you end up playing in awkward silence for most of it. I did try to help sort out a Britgaf raid team, but you need to organise your life around the game and I just resent that.

Guns N' Roses's best song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpmAY059TTY

But yeah, Axl is a twat. Just bury the hatchet you old maniac.

His plastic surgery and whatnot...he's just a bit strange now.

No, she's fierce! She gets a bit heavy at times but she balances it out nicely with some ballads.

When I had pink hair I like to say it was cause I was a cool rebel person but it wasn't. It was because I really liked Pink. Go Team!


Also I can't get Mr Brownstone out of my head. And I've started playing Symphony of the Night again. And umm ramble ramble ramble ramble.
 
Oh fuck, getting homebase flashbacks.

Why did you remind me?! D:
if i fall, you all fall with me.


i am not sure whether i bought space raider crisps because i am a horrible poor person or because they remind me of xcom, sweet sweet xcom.

edit: holy shit the aliens on the space raider packs are actually called sectoids.

That sounded wrong. I meant it like that's where Hayden has one up on Dani. Really high-pitched wailing is a boner killer. To be honest, I rarely have the volume up on porn. Something about a guy puffing and panting and grunting just doesn't do it for me.

This doesn't sound any better.
 
I think it would help if people posted female musicians they like and commented on how talented they are.

That would be cool.

Have you heard of this new artist called "Taylor Swift"? I think she has some songs and an album and shaking it off or something it was on the radio this one time it's kinda catchy.

Maturity, bitches.
The problem and anime: it can sometimes sound like your watching something dodgy with all the incomprehensible moaning during say a fight scene. Luckily it's not overly too common.

Yup.



Yup.



Apologies, Ms Sploatee. Sorry to hear about E, as well. Hope that new drug hits the spot!

How's the Dark Soul-ing? All the recent talk about it is giving me a hankering to return to it soon.

It's alright. I'm a bit grouchier than normal today, but (yes, I know I'm going to get stick for this) it's kind of depressing reading such women-as-meat-object posts. I like everyone and all, but er yeah. It's a bit unpleasant for me (not being in the straight male porn hound club (which yup I know is probably every straight male). I don't know. I'll probably regret this post.

Oh and Dark Souls! I've had quite a few "hell no I'm out of here" moments. I've played about 3 or 4 hours and it's got such an amazing world and atmosphere. I really feel lost in it. Also it feels a bit like Ocarina of Time when you use Z targeting. Which is super good.

You're misunderstanding. I'd rather them NOT sound like a child. How can that not be perceived by from what I'm saying?

That clears things up, thanks.

you've every right voicing your feelings and, especially when the entire forum is so male-dominated, us straightwhitemen people should always try a little harder to not further alienate anyone, particularly those that don't share our privilaged and mainstream taste/opinions/point of view etc. objectification is a massive problem in normal society and i would hate to think that i am helping ruin somebody's escape from that world by making a place like neogaf feel alienating.

It would certainly help balance the blatant mysoginy in here if more girls posted.

Glad that you agree Musha. I know you see yourself as the Margaret Thatcher of Britgaf so I assume you're being serious. Posting pictures of attractive ladies isn't interesting or encourages debate, and it's not even like we're on the internet circa 2006.

Nah, that's completely fair.

Is that lost in a good way or a bad way? Remember to read all the item descriptions! They contain a rich but vague history of Lordran and it's inhabitants, as well as pointers and instructions.

Who's been misogynistic?
