It's been a month or two, but if I recall correctly I was getting to the 3rd level pretty regularly and then getting destroyed.If you still haven't reached the surface on your original start, don't give up, you're probably close.

My computer monitor died a couple of months ago and I've been rolling with an old one that I dug out of my utility room based on the same logic -- presumably I'll be able to get a good replacement on or around black Friday. This has been a weird year though and I'm growing pessimistic about pricing and availability of anything electronic this holiday season.My TV finally went to the big living room in the sky last night. Was kind of showing some signs the past year, and finally kicked it last night. So I'm now in the market (extremely conveniently 3 weeks before black Friday). Planning to enter the big boy leagues and go OLED.
Until then.....omfg kill me I'm stuck with a backup 11 year old Sharp 1080 HDTV. The input lag on this mfer is ridiculous lol. I won't be able to play a shooter until I get a new TV.
The timing is nice but also kinda sucks to cause Best Buy just had their pre-black Friday sale this week, but now it's Friday and the one I was looking at sold out early in the week.
Both Amazon and Costco have great prices on the LG OLEDs right now...might not be much better pricing this year.My TV finally went to the big living room in the sky last night.

Not so. Early on, there's no way you're clearing the game and you're not expected to. Most of your runs are just getting used to enemies, developing some basic starts, and gathering resources for upgrades. Once you've got your mirror (character) upgraded a bit, clearing the game becomes pretty routine. You'll need to ramp up the difficulty to have any real risk of failure.so now I know what a roguelike is due to all the Hades talk.
In a roguelike if you die once it's over. Cool game, but I know I would be throwing my controller through my TV screen.
Yeah the lg oleds are where it's at. Got a big one like 2 weeks before covid. Game changerOh boy, gonna be a good holiday season. So last weekend, I ended up buying the LG C1 oled. My local Best Buy was out of it the back half of the week, then I checked one last time Saturday morning before sale ended, and they must have got a truck in the night before because they suddenly had some. Rushed down there and grabbed one. Thing is incredible. Best tv I've ever owned by a country mile. And the football on it too...*chef's kiss*
And today just a few minutes ago, I managed to catch a target PS5 restock. So bang bang, I'm all set with my entertainment needs going forward with a free weekend in front of me. I'm hyped.
Ok so my next big purchase I want to get a Smart TV maybe 4K a bit on the cheaper side but reliable. I got an LG TV and it's about 42" maybe can get by with something a bit bigger but now a whole lot. I got a few feet on either side of the entertainment shelf for this.
black friday approaches....
Big fan of TCL 6 series TVs. But more expensive then there other series of TV which I know next to nothing about.Ok so my next big purchase I want to get a Smart TV maybe 4K a bit on the cheaper side but reliable.

The ending is anticlimactic. But it's definelty worth playing if you ever liked any farcryFar Cry 6 is FANTASTIC. It took me a while to really get going on it. But now it's easy to get immersed and lose track of time.
The story is amazing, the characters are well-developed, the landscape is beautiful, and the combat is so much fun.
Pick either Walmart + or Gamestop Powerup Pro and subscribe. They have both been releasing consoles that are exclusive for the members before the general public.I’m fairly certain the only chance might’ve been yesterday with the Walmart+ restocking thing, but if someone was considering an Xbox series x purchase, any tips on best bets? I read somewhere maybe here that Best Buy could randomly receive them and it’s a guessing game. At this point will every restocking stores do be some event or will stores randomly have them in stock and then immediately sell out and it’s luck of the draw? I’m wondering if there’s even a chance of just walking into a Walmart Best Buy target etc and ever just seeing one available?
Looks like GameStop should be releasing some Thursday, i wonder if that powerup pro would give early access to that. Might be my best bet.Pick either Walmart + or Gamestop Powerup Pro and subscribe. They have both been releasing consoles that are exclusive for the members before the general public.
They have in the past, that's how I got my PS5. But if you're going to do it, I'd do it now and not day of. I tried day of and it didn't let me access as a member but the next release I was in and got one.Looks like GameStop should be releasing some Thursday, i wonder if that powerup pro would give early access to that.

Back4vlood was on sale so took the plunge : excited
I'm fine playing with botsThe community doesn't seem too happy with the game right now. Consensus seems to be it's a major avoid unless you have a squad of 4 you regularly play with.
Yeah, I had it and already sold it back to GameStop. Lasted about 2 weeks. All my friends who were psyched about it (previous Left 4 Dead players) have already stopped playing it. I never played L4D so I have no point of comparison, but obviously B4B didn't have the same magic apparently. It's fine with friends, but nothing particularly memorable.The community doesn't seem too happy with the game right now.

Take a look at Hollow Knight. I think you’d like it based on some of the other games you mentioned.Could use some recommendations, in a little bit of a stagnant gaming period here. Xbox One player.
Currently playing - Hades, Overwatch, Dead Cells. Hades is fantastic but I've beaten it something like 75 times now, and other than bludgeoning myself with higher heat runs - which are fun - there's essentially nothing left for me to do. Overwatch it my competitive fix. I started Dead Cells, got maybe 10 hours into it but I'm losing interest.
Likes - action-adventure, open world sandbox, platformer, artsy indie type games, competitive-yet-kinda-cartoony shooters.
Played Gears of War pretty much exclusively for competitive play as a diehard player for probably about 10 years, but have been playing mostly Overwatch for the past ~3 years now. GTA, Red Dead, Far Cry series are staples for me. Have yet to get Far Cry 6, waiting for a bit of a price drop but I've beaten the hell out of all of them since Far Cry 2 including DLCs. Used to be really into Assassin's Creed but lost interest after Black Flag and haven't played since. Have played quite a bit of Destiny 1/2 over the years but not in the past few months. Some other games I love - Super Meat Boy (106%!!), Hyper Light Drifter, The Messenger, Hades (obviously), Death's Door, Celeste, Sonic Mania.
Anyway, I'm having trouble finding something that sticks. Accepting any suggestions.
I've thought about it - I've watched some trailers for it over the years but never pulled the trigger. Might give it a try - thank you.Take a look at Hollow Knight. I think you’d like it based on some of the other games you mentioned.

It’s a very, very solid game but if you’re like me- it just feels like a mashup of all the metroidvania games with a different skin.I've thought about it - I've watched some trailers for it over the years but never pulled the trigger. Might give it a try - thank you.
Dark Souls? It’s my favorite (non gears) game. I begged @madshot31to play it. Has co-op and PVP. Has a ton of replay ability.Could use some recommendations, in a little bit of a stagnant gaming period here. Xbox One player.

I learned that the guy at work who got mine for me uses a Bot. He’s a super IT genius and uses a bot program for Jordan’s, trading cards and these systems.I think I read Congress may try to pass some law that would hopefully have an impact on scalping for high-demand items. This is the kind of crap our Government needs to get involved with imo, stuff that actually matters to real people.
So I got a Series X this time last year when my step daughter was working at Target.STEADYMOBBIN 22 said:I got an Xbox Series X. Now that I have one I’m not sure if I’m going to keep it or sell it (at cost) to my wife’s friend. She’s been asking me how to get one and doubt she’s going to be able to pull it off herself.
Shes got two teenage boys and it would mean more to them than me at this time. Maybe I’ll tell her to keep trying and she can sell me hers if she gets lucky.
Im not sure I even want one then. I really don’t play these days and I can’t think of a new game that I want.
Why is it hard to believe? Massive chip shortage that is affecting pretty much everything plus high demand = hard to find.Poke_4_Life said:Can't believe the new consoles are still so hard to find.
One year ago tomorrow I walked into a WalMart and paid retail for my PS5. (I posted the story above, the app was somehow showing accurate stock in stores.)
One year ago we didn't know about the chip shortage. Most supply chain issues haven't been around for over a year.Why is it hard to believe? Massive chip shortage that is affecting pretty much everything plus high demand = hard to find.
Even before Covid, pretty much everyone in the gaming industry said consoles were going to be hard to get until summer of this year based on demand and ability to produce, especially the PS5. Add in Covid with all of the supply chain issues and chip shortages this shouldn't be a surprise at all.One year ago we didn't know about the chip shortage.

I never finished this. I should before the new one comes outJust started Horizon Zero Dawn so much fun, so glad I was able to get a PS5.
