Why is it so amazing? Tried to play the demo and quit after playing 20 minutes. Don;t think I can stand the stand around and wait for menus combat systems anymore

This'll sound stupid, but you really need to put in a good 10 hours or so if you're playing a dragon quest for the first time. The battle system hasn't changed much since the 80's, but that's more due to a 'if it isn't broke, don't fix it' design decision. The combat is going to feel really slow until you get a full party, but you need to focus on enjoying your epic journey to get the most out of the game.

also, I've started a new Stardew valley farm

Maybe this pandemic will cause me to find my first post in NBA N/V threads. I lurked for about at least a year before posting in these for the first time. I'm betting my first post was defending Dirk from someone that foolishly accused him of being overrated.

also, imo 2k was most fun from 2k9-12. I really miss playing 10 and 11 in college. We used to do 4 player which made it hilariously tense in my group of friends when people would do dumb things in close games. Playing those games (or most multiplayer games) irl with friends is so much more fun than online.

The all time best local multiplayer game was the 2010 FIFA World Cup on the Wii. When you scored on someone, you could shake the wiimote and it would start making the vuvuzela noise. I saw at least one game end on a bs goal in extra time, right as a buddy was leaving, the winner (that had said nothing when he won), turned to the guy at the door, and casually started shaking the wiimore for the vuvuzela noise. The other dude slammed the door and everyone laughed.

More games should have built in taunts and noise makers.

me and aggressivelystupid and a few others from this thread do some multiplayer against the computer 2k and getting owned cause you are a dumbass is great. also the random players they make unbeatable for no reason. nets brook lopez was like a 40/20 monster against us no matter who we played as. Could be all time rockets and put yao on him, double him with hakeem and he was still gonna score at like 90%. lakers roy hibbert doing a eurostep to go ahead in a game. jared sullinger hitting like 13 threes in a game to blow us out. getting owned is really the best part tbh

is Kevin Durant the #1 seed because the "Kevin Durant" player in 2k has a 96 rating, or does Kevin Durant himself have a gamer rating from being good at playing the game?

That's his 2k In game rating. I bet they let him play as a fully healthy Nets squad. His starting lineup will be revealing of the teams internal drama.

I think the series had Dirk in the 80s for most of his prime but when he appeared as a classic player on those same teams in later 2ks, they rightfully made him in the 90s.

From my experience playing, 2k tends to be generally nice to injured former all-stars or aging legends with player rating. (until it can't be justified.)

Like 12 years ago they did a full scale revamp and normalized everyone's ratings to where decent starters were in the 70s and there were only a few guys who were 90s. Then stat inflation happened, especially when they refused to mark Kobe lower than like 84 or w/e and needed to boost people up so it makes sense. They really need to just tear it down again.
