My favorite Games moment was when I avoided cancer and posted a insincere comment almost identical to one grafe posted but since he had cancer they flamed him and I got a beta key to the game. lmfao

Nice.

My favourite forums cancer moment was when I was doing so faux axemaniac style duke nukem hype posting and the war hammer ponytar guy with real cancer that was looking forward to duke nukem forever being the last fame he ever played told me I was alright for someone with forums cancer.

I need romance help. Well, video game romance help. I am hopeless with real life romance. I am trying to get with Piper. I've reached max friendshipability with her, I have her perk. I've failed every flirt option I've gotten with her, even though I have 5 or 6 CHA. Yesterday, when I went to talk with her, instead of getting the normal options, she revisited our last discussion, essentially just wanting to reconfirm what I said before. The original [Relationship] option came up; this time it was dark green instead of red, meaning I had already chosen it before. I tried save-scumming to get it, and each time I failed. I put on Agatha's dress, popped Day Tripper pills, got up to 13 CHA, and I was still getting rejected by the love of my life. Where do I go from here?

It's probably not fake, since it's entirely conceivable that a game whose dialog operates partly on dice rolls would have that result. Plus, Piper is a fairly charming character...

I think she might be a Lesbian though so maybe that guy needs a girl character.

There some fairly awesome discussion going on in the Games' Dark Souls III thread about the best way to design loot tables that reads completely insane.

But that's all the reason for hard RPGs to actually care MORE about loot systems and average times to drop, not less. MMOs should be leading the industry on smart loot, and in some cases they are, but in other cases they aren't.

Why can't people just be happy when sometimes bad guys drop a decent but Normal sword and all the really cool poo poo is in a fixed place.

Bloodborne is cool because every weapon has a fixed location, but you can also randomly find variants that just look different. So you get the best of both worlds. Now THATS smart loot.

I like the poo poo in dark souls where sometimes you get a cool weap off a dude who doesnt respawn, and its random whether you get it but not random what item it is, or selected from a small list, i hate incentivizing grinding a type of enemy to get a specific drop

This but they half ruined it by making Magic Find a stat so instead of incentivizing grinding it incentivized avoiding all optional dudes until you maxed your Magic Find.

Magic Find as an adjustable stat is a terrible thing that should not ever exist in any game.

True. But I feel it factors in less in a first time playthrough, since you're most likely not gonna know about that crap.

I kinda like that game since you just blast poo poo as a sexy comic babe like Rogue or Storm even though I don't know anything about those other than when I watched the show when Rogue was a hot goth chick in high school when I was 12.

this is good as long as it's a matter of getting it early vs not at all in that playthrough. grinding for random drops is lame

I am extremely unlucky when it comes to Dark Souls loot drops so I actually really hate the loot system in that game... It's badass when you get fixed drops from corpses or killing a boss or whatever but it makes me sad when to get the Cool Sword i have to kill 500 dudes and ascetic the bonfire because it still hasn't dropped
