OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

[trostol]

Is FF XVI worth a buy?

I played the demo last June and liked it but had to tackle my backlog first. It’s got 2 DLC’s that came out recently too.

haven't really heard anything about it to be honest...but I know I didn't like 15 very much

Its not been as bad as I thought. A buddy and I play every Wednesday, we just finished Remnant2, and decided to give Helldivers 2 a try.

I was worried it was going to be GTA or Red Dead Online. I've only had one idiot and he was an easy kick from the group. Ive only run into the rare level 1-2-3 who accidently wipes the mission.

He and I dont usually play with people we dont know due to asshole potential and we dont want to ruin our one night of freedom. But its actually been fun, sometimes we run a few drops with the same group and other times were one and done.

You can do solo if you like, you just have to change your social settings.

Kinda defeats the game to play solo.

I've been playing with randoms for a couple of weeks and had an absolute blast. Had the odd loser that's a pain, but thats part of online gaming.

From my time with the 16 demo, it’s pretty different from 15. Haven’t played 15 but I’ve hung out with some friends who were playing it and they were like…”this is meh”.

@FLYguy3911 this is the worst weekend league I’ve ever played. The game is so f***ing rigged I can’t even believe it.

I got squad battles games to finish up.

Changed my mind. Fantastic weekend league.

Got shit on. Ended 10-10. Got Red 96 Rodri in reward pick.

What did you get from your squad battles TOTS pack?

 

[FLYguy3911]

A dupe red Sheaf. I hate this f***ing game.

Yeah, sounds about right.

Meanwhile, I just hate-watched dipshit Zwe get Palmer from an 84x7.

I think I have every 84 in the game atm so it’s dupe city for me. Only PL card I packed was Watkins. Fodder.

Finally finished Havertz. On to Konate I guess.

Same. 83s too. And my transfer list is full of tradable dupes. Wish they’d release an upgrade SBC that isn’t capped at 4 per day…

I’d HIGHLY recommend Havertz at LB. Not going to do Konate because I did the Hincapie evo and I’m now desperately low on fodder after doing Havertz, Alvarez (really good) Odegaard, and Cech.

Damn. Haha. SBC demon. Thought about Alvarez until they dropped Konate today. 99 sprint speed with 99 strength and his big ass seems too good to pass up.


Odegaard looks good but I use Socrates as my CAM and he doesn’t look good enough defensively.

Just packed another dupe fodder card. This game is fixed.

Yeah, Konate will definitely be worth it. Block+ is crazy good too.

I was doing all those SBCs because I had so much fodder saved and was opening up so many high rated cards after pack saving with nowhere to put them. I opened all 70 packs and didnt get a single good TOTS card.

This is what I'm using in-game right now (but Fuhrich is full chem because I start with 4-2-4 and then switch). Went 7-0 in rivals after I finished WL and got Rodri to get back to Div 2 and make sure I have my wins for Thursday's rewards.

Spoiler: Team

Alvarez is very good, Rodri is absolutely bananas, Havertz is way better at LB than CM (and that upcoming +2 has me excited), and Odegaard has been very underwhelming so far, to be honest. I'd recommend passing on him if you're looking for somewhere to put dupes.

 

[SnS]

The Show ; I’m curious. How do people get like all the special cards? I struggle to get enough points to even get any unless they’re handed out free.


Also, I’m down to needing under 10 mlb players to complete all the collections. I guess that’s something to hang my hat on?

Seager.

Trout.

Judge. Cole.

Betts. Ohtani. Freeman.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Jedi Survivor is on GamePass.

Is it worth playing?

Yes. Those games are great and I don't normally like stuff like that.

This is what 13 got me. :/

13? Good shit. How sweaty was Tuesday night champs?

And those rewards are painful... meanwhile I see that braindead streamer dipshit get Palmer, Son, and Rice in back to back days. Garnacho might be good but Gabriel feels like an aircraft carrier in my small sample trying him.

It's crazy the pulls some people have gotten. I played TOTS Virgil first game and that went as expected. Wasn't too too sweaty unless I'm just the sweat now . Gave up a corner goal in the 123 minute in one game because of a shitty animation. That was a tough one to swallow.

Yeah I don't think 84 pace plays at this stage of the game but he has good playstyles at least and he's left footed. Garnacho looks pretty good and he feels great in squad battles but I'm sure he'll feel like fodder in Champs lol. I got Konate done too finally.

Saw a video on Twitter yesterday where a guy got both VVD and Haaland in the same pack.
Closed the app immediately.

84 is a bit low but you’re right, playstyles have become so crazy important in this game. I’m passing up on way better stats to still use people with the right playstyle+’s. That said, there’s some cases where guys have fraud stats AND playstyles… like Pele. Alvarez had been way better for me, and that’s before the free evo they released yesterday. Just got Di Maria too, who is crazy good with tech+, finesse+, and 98 passing and dribbling.

I’m excited to see what Bundesliga cards come out Friday but I don’t have a single pack saved. Gonna be real sad if there’s a good BVB card.

Six Dortmund players surprises me… some of them didn’t even have great years. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of stats they give guys like Reus and Sancho. Honestly only expected Kobel and Malen to get cards.


Also that PL TOTS guarantee SBC is expensive… only got Moments Nkunku…

They don't choose the best. The choose the cards that sell packs. Lol.

Seems like it is a PL fodder SBC. I have em all already.

Good point

Good point

Pulled the worst card and played TOTS Haaland the very first game.

Having fun with fallout new Vegas but can’t get past unintentionally sniping rather than going with the build I decided on and Helldivers 2. Still getting the hang at that one.

Helldivers is incredible
