FocusAttack makes everything real easy.

That stick is awesome Martian!
I don’t think I’ve seen golden buttons before.

Yeah, I was browsing FA a long while ago and as soon as I saw those I knew the motif for my whole stick, lol. Gold and Black is hard to mess up. That color combo has too much drip.

Sweet arcade stick man. It got me so hype, that’s I’m watching Dragon Ball Super: Broly again.

Thanks man!

Just make sure you skip the 30 minute Frieza beat down. That never happened. :wink:

No promises :rofl: Freeza’s pettiness in the movie is awesome. Actually, the characterizations for all the characters in the movie are top tier.

They really are.

Never did I expect a canonical parralel to be drawn between Bulma and Frieza. :rofl:

Yeah plus the animation. The subtle facial expressions really add to how well the characters come off.

Don’t even get me started, lol. It’s possibly the best animation the show has ever seen. Every frame is practically wallpaper material.

It was a very inspired move to have all the action take place in a glacier environment, so the white can contrast against the action and make it all much more clear to the eye.

I thought because of Martian’s hiatus that he pulled one of those Asian gam3r sessions where he played on his new PC for three days straight with no breaks, food or water followed by dying.

Cosign dark souls 2 not getting enough respect. I like that there’s a lot more viable builds and that it runs at 60fps.

Anyway, my games of this gen:

-Bloodborne-easily the best souls-esque game, they refined so much about the combat and you aren’t forced into using any particular weapon because almost all of them are viable. The atmosphere is unmatched imo and the story is just so satisfying as well. I love this game.

-Tetris Effect-possibly the greatest non-competitive Tetris experience ever especially if you play it in VR.

-Samurai Shodown V Special rerelease- Dunno if this counts, but that they rereleased this amazing game AND paired it with possibly the best fighting game netcode ever to exist made me so overwhelmingly happy and the game plays GREAT!

-Mortal Kombat X- possibly a controversial one but I feel like MK reached a new height with this game. Character variations mean you have more counterpicking potential and make the game more replayable and it had some of the things I really liked about KoFXIII without some of the negatives.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 23 challenges in PoE. I just need one more, and all of my goals for this league will be comprete. I should get it tonight or tomorrow sometime.

A guildie dropped a ā€œMirrorā€ which straight up copies another item in the game. It’s one of the most expensive and rarest items in the game. My guildie sold it off, and ever since, I’ve been asking him to lend out some virtual $$$ to pimp out my character. Thanks to him I’ve decked out my character with fantastic gear, and combined with a bit of luck+game knowledge I made a chunk of virtual lettuce followed by paying him back+buying more shiiet+random items for an ā€œaltā€ I want to try to make. :+1:

The variety in level & monster designs was crazy too. I love that game so much I platinum’d it on PS3 and 4. :rofl:

Maybe a 24-month gold plan will replace it :thinking:

ah, probably focusing on gamepass… unfortunate since I probably will never care about gamepass.

I played the hell out of some Gears 5 today… I’d say the game is definitely better now since there’s a bit more content available. Unlocking characters is a lot more simple now… either you straight up buy them, or get them via in-game currency…gold coins you get for apparently just playing the game. (previously, there was various challenges to do just to unlock characters, and no one really liked that) I have Paduk unlocked already…I got the UIR Soldier skin as well, though apparently you can’t use that in Horde? That’s some straight bullshit.

It’s still frustrating that the game has that ā€œno character dupesā€ rule. This always becomes a problem for leveling up newly released characters who are popular…since a LOT of people want to play as that same character. It was surprising I got to play as Paduk at all today.

oh yeah and Kait is still insane in Horde mode. It’s basically easy mode when you pick her. The enemies don’t stand a chance against all that bonus shotgun and bleed damage. There’s also extra bonus damage when enemies are already bleeding from your previous shotgun damage. She also gets the ā€œstimā€ buff for executions…along with an ultimate that makes her invisible for easy back-to-back executions…she’s so ridiculous. :laughing:

I played DQXI-S for over 8 hours today. Hell yeah.

Also being able to reset your skill points is the best fucking thing ever.

Also, also. Veronica is best girl. So much sass in such a tiny body.
