Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

Personally I had trouble with the controls for warframe when I tried it.

They take some getting used to, but the parkour feels really good once you have them down. You just kinda need someone to show you how

I remember thinking the movement and such would be very cool in like vr or something, but using a controller or worse, m + kb was bleh. Maybe I’ll try it again sometime.

Although regardless, the points sharp add about the mmoness I also felt I think

I've tried a number of MMO's now (like, six or seven at least), and given up on them as a genre.

I lost interest in DA:Inquisition (which I finished anyway) and ME:Andromeda (which I totally did not) because while they had some good story, it was pretty plain they were going for 'open world MMO without multiplayer' kind of feeling (which was sad, because maaaaan, my albino elven Inquisitor looked awesome in her armored longcoat - would have been nicer to enjoy the entire experience all the way through and not get wiped out by fetch-quests). I'm hoping for something a whole lot tighter, old-school style for Mass Effect 4.

You might actually enjoy Final Fantasy 14, not because it plays like an MMO, but because it plays like a JRPG, that just so happens to be an MMO.

They've also been changing the older expansions to fit the RPG feel even better, making it so you can do the content completely solo (with NPCs), without the need to play with others.

Only downside is that it's PC/PS4,PS5 only; and does have a subscription model.

Story is quite good however, and the lore is pretty great. Blending the old games into the story in a way that isn't forced... Unless it's a crossover.

This does sound good... ^_^

Sadly, this is the killing point with me. We're supposedly at some point going to get a PS5. When? When they're available. And we know they're there. But they're impossible to get right now.

Will definitely look into it when we get the PS5. ^_^ Thanks for the heads up!

For now...nothing good is coming out for the Xbox One any more, so it's MEMP for me. ^_^ As usual.

So, in the new Daredevil issue:

spoilers:

It seems Matt's cursed penis has finally struck again. It's a shame, I liked Kirsten, a real ray of sunshine in Matt's doomy and gloomy life. Then again, they didn't show a body. Also nice of him to finally reveal his secret identity to Spidey again. Hopefully, Peter will do the same at some point.

Need to check this out. Thanks for the heads up!

However, Horowitz added on Twitter: “BUT this morning Ryan (Gosling) reached out to me to say there is one superhero he wants to play...GHOST RIDER.”

I think he might make a good Ghost Rider, though maybe there are other possible roles he could consider.

Current series of Baki-dou really is making some odd choices.

Here's yet another big sumo guy who is... probably going to have a decent match with Doppo next?

Where are we going exactly?

We're not. Going anywhere, I mean.

I'm seeing a pattern.

1. Writer has an idea.
2. Writer makes up new character(s).
3. New character(s) fights all of writer's old characters, in order.
4. New character(s) wins enough matches to show they have value, but loses most of them to show how awesome the old characters are.

Somewhere in there, New Character will meet Yujiro and get whupped.

It's starting to feel very formulaic.

Edit: in fairness, it has always been SOMEWHAT this way, but the recent stuff just seems to be more and more straightforward in doing this.

Come on now Sharp.

Kehaya immediately got owned by Yujiro, rather than later.

And... Jack beat Sukune even though Sukune beat Oliva, which feels off.

And... erm... Musashi... happened...

See, the thing is, I don't not enjoy Baki. It's entertaining but... I don't think I could adequately explain why.

^_^

The whole Jack/Sukune/Olivia stuff might have been a case of Rock Paper Scissors, given that Jack had those weapons implanted in him. Sukune = stronk and tough enough to fight Olivia (though Olivia getting absolutely jobbed out, that felt wrong), but 'what big teeth you have, Jack, you make me bleed out' or somesuch.

See, the thing is, I don't not enjoy Baki. It's entertaining but... I don't think I could adequately explain why.

That's kind of where I am (you know I don't enjoy it). There's this weird fascination where I actually have to read it, find out what happens, shake my head, and then repeat the cycle when a new chapter comes out.

But lately, it's feeling kind of...bland. Like at some point it jumped the shark (I feel the Musashi stuff was kind of that), and the writer has just been falling back hard on the formula without putting a lot of thought into it outside of 'what would be the next weird martial artist I could bring in?'

There's something hilariously horrifying about Chainsaw Man claiming to be using the Power of Light, when in reality he has just doused himself with gasoline and set himself on fire. O_o

Edit: More seriously, on a re-read The Gun Devil is an appallingly appropriate creature for this day and age.
