It would seem that this season has run it's course for some. Maybe it's just me, but there doesn't seem to be anything here that makes me want to play right now. I've yet to run through the new raid yet, but it honestly doesn't bother me as much as it would have a few years ago. Tying challenges to a seasonal activity with no matchmaking has really turned me off of even bothering to try and the crafting system overall is garbage. Only 44 days until next season...

I'm curious as to what everyone feels about these types of games. The past few releases, Diablo 2, Re 2 and 3, FF7, and WoW, have been really hit or miss. I feel that both the RE 2 and 3 remakes are perfect examples of taking good games and vastly improving not just the visuals, but the gameplay as well. Gone are the "tank" controls and with it, a fluid, 3rd person controls that closely resembled RE 4s perspective. While I still think the RE 3 remake should have been DLC for RE 2, they were none the less a true remake. FF7 is 50/50 IMO. While the visuals, updated voice cast and music, and to an extent, the gameplay that switched from the tired and true turn based RPG style for a more action rpg system is ok, The lack of the rest of the game was a huge letdown. It was enjoyable, but not worth the price considering the overall package. Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3 are examples of how NOT to do them. With Diablo 3, Blizzard vastly improved the top down, isometric action rpg gameplay and style so much so that most other game released in that style are almost carbon copies of them. If they had released this "resurrected" remake with the diablo 3 gameplay style, I feel it would've been a much better product overall. Granted, I'm sure there are some that loved the original style of said game, but as i said, the formula has been so improved that going back to this feels archaic. We won't talk about the hot garbage that was warcraft 3. What are your thoughts on this, folks?

What are you listening to right now?
Riff Machine replied to BO7H B4RRELS's topic in Movies, TV & Music
I've recently been listening to Gojira, mostly due to having seen an ad for the Gojira archetype for the Neural DSP system, and damn. They're pretty friggin good. Their tone is clean as fuck, although they do love that pitch shifter. The album Magma has been in my playlist for most of the week and I gave their latest release, Fortitude, a listen as well. I didn't get hooked as much with that one, but it's a decent album. -
What Are You Currently Reading?
Riff Machine replied to Spacedeck's topic in Books / Comics / Reading
I'm reading throw the rulebook for The Witcher TTRPG at the moment, and I'm about halfway through Calibans War. I'm finding it difficult to keep reading through as it hasn't seemed to pull me in like the first book did. As for The Witcher rulebook... Wow. There is a lot of charts that determine modifiers for certain combats. Terrain, weather, and light levels are just a few, but this could be quite the complicated rule set for the hardcore players. -
Yea, I figured that as well. Probably Summerslam or something.

I just picked this up on PS5 thanks to the spring sale and I kind of wish they did a lot more with this "resurrected" edition. By that, I mean completely rebuild the game and give it that modern, Diablo 3 feel in so far as gameplay and quality of life upgrades that 3 has. The fact it's a prettier version of diablo 2 is rather disappointing. It's enjoyable by far, I just wish when a game developer says remake they actually remake said game instead of updating the decor.

I caught bits and pieces of it. I felt the first night to be far better then the second. I've never been a fan of reigns so I've a hard time accepting his constant push when other guys on the roster are far superior. AJ/Edge, Bianca/Lynch, Seth/Cody we're my favs from the event as a whole. Rousey losing was a bit of a surprise and the boogs injury really sucked but it was a decent show overall.

I just wanted to pimp this little project we've been doing as of late on Six Sides of Gaming. We usually go live Thursday around 8pm EST and just talk about gaming in all its many forms as well as whatever cool stuff we've got going on at Six Sides currently or down the road. We don't have the audio portion available yet, but we should have that figured out soon. For now, the first 3 episodes are on our twitch channel twitch.tv/sixsidesofgaming if anyone is interested. Cheers folks!

I cannot wait for this one. I just hope and pray it doesn't have all the bullshit that 3 had on launch. *Fingers Crossed*
-
That’s a really cool way to bring them back.
-
I’m not gonna lie, I want really a big fan of this series. If it’s a remake like the RE2 one that improves not only the visuals, but controls, I may have a look. I also feel the FEAR series did the whole “bullet time” thing better.
-
I don’t have one… yet. But trust me, I will let it be known. 😘😂
-
I know @Teenwolf25 has been playing it. @Forty6_N_two and @FallenDark200 as well. I’m curious to see how well it’s been doing sales wise though.
-
Yea, a couple players had some conflicts this evening so we rescheduled the debut to next week. Everything is fine otherwise.
-
Unfortunately, the debut of this series is being delayed a week due to some personal issues. It’ll debut at the same time next Wednesday, April 13th.

Tomorrow night, April 6th at 7:00pm EST, @Rumelylady and I will be part of a group playing The Witcher TTRPG live on our twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/sixsidesofgaming This will be a 6 episode run that will be based on the upcoming adventure book from R. Talisorian games called A Book of Tales. If any of you all are interested, please tune in or check out the VOD when they become available on either twitch or our youtube channel.

Episode 5 is now available on our youtube channel. Quite the session this past Sunday. A new sword, lots of cultists dying at the party's hands. Just a great day overall. And some deals with the devil were made.
-
I'm looking forward to this one. It's by the developers of The Messenger (I LOVE THAT GAME) so, I can guarantee, it will be a quality experience.
-
It's a great game. You'll not be disappointed. The transition they do to shift between 8 and 16 bit is really well done.

I have the RE 3 remake but It felt really rushed. There wasn't near as much polish to it as 2 had. Considering the length of the story, It really should have been DLC for the RE 2 remake.

I've already sung you your birthday song, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just gonna drop a nice, little, friendly reminder to you all that The Messenger is a great game if you fancy the old school 8/16 bit style graphics and gameplay of Ninja Gaiden. Great music, great gameplay, very witty and enjoyable writing and just a blast to play. I just platinumed this one the other day! It's worth a look, Friends. Available on PC and all platforms.

I've been all over the place lately with games, so I just re-downloaded this one. I played the hell out of it when it initially released and enjoyed every minute of it. I also re-downloaded the RE2 remake as well for giggles and shits.
-
The session zero was a really cool set up for us. It was my first time being a part of one and it really helped shape the group and introductory story for us all. Thanks @GazzaGarrattI'm glad you've been enjoying it. Episode 5 will be this Sunday at 12pm EST on SixSidesofGaming - Twitch WWW.TWITCH.TV We're an ever growing streaming network! From RPG's to TCG's, video games, talk shows, board games and the classics. Each month we grow this channel we add/improve our programming. We are Six Sides of...

I honestly feel it's worth it IMO. The entire experience is great from start to finish.
