beat elden ring after 110 hours. was a bit over leveled at the end but i guess that happens when im trying to explore everything. all the end bosses feel like a joke after malenia but the last ones in a cool arena at least. thought i could be clever and try to save melina by picking up the frenzied flame to light the caldron myself (sparing her sacrifice), then reversing it with miquellas needle afterward (cus that ending seemed bad) but she got real mad at me and peaced out for the rest of the game. know i messed up half a dozen quests so guess thats for playthough 2

you can get there thru a portal at the end of the volcano manor town area

edit: lol maybe I’m confused

I want to say it was from the lost city of Nokron?

no wait I somehow got there from the tree area below that where the woman in D's quest is except I killed her because I thought she killed D but apparently that was wrong?

i have all the ps+ ps5 titles and my ps4 library is all digital and not even close to played out yet. but maneater probably lol

maneater is some goofy fun. it gets a little repetitive, but i enjoyed it until the end and didn’t feel like it wore out its welcome.

I love everything about XCom 2 except for the Avatar project stuff, cos it feels like a time limit and I hate time limits

Just wish it had a skirmish mode where I could play random battles and build my team forever.

chimera squad pivots way more into that style of play and it's great

the contrived time limit mechanics are not great. a better way to handle that would be to start dropping escalating reinforcements after a few turns. and instead of having the avatar project have a threat level where engaging too many reinforcements or blowing up too much stuff causes higher-level reinforcements to start dropping sooner in future missions. that would be a far more effective way of making it feel like a guerilla war.

The poo poo new X-Coms were such a disappointment to me and everyone else who liked then original three games where you could actually employ tactics.

sifu is good. i think it's an ideal discount or gamepass game, there wasn't a whole lot to sink your teeth into, but I had fun with it for a couple of weeks

all the new xcoms, xcom2 especially (even more in wotc) is entirely about tactics and rewards you nicely for successful gambits

jerry if you haven't done xcom2:wotc it goes on sale more than any other game i've ever seen so please give it a few hours

Nah I played like two or three boards of the "new" X-Com when it was new and never touching them again.

i played through Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion yesterday. the whole main game is playable in like two hours including finding all the collectables, so don't actually spend money on it, but it's on gamepass, and is quite funny and charming. there's an endless battle mode after you beat it, but i don't think it's really a big addition. worth your time, if not your money.
