Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Well, I did see a few good deals on Alienware around Black Friday last time & the year before, @Tyranexx .... So, that'd be the time to get anything like that! Depending what sort of rendering & other work you're looking at, that might end up needing a pretty high end build anyway

Hey guys,

I need help!
I am to weak for some quests so it would be very nice if someone would donate me the lunares blade, the creator outfit, the star fishing rod and the spirit pickaxe..
Please.. I depend on that (for e.g. the bone dinosaur in the desert of Al Majiik)

Anyways if someone want to help me via Multiplayer my code is: 3368-5793-0317

Thanks!!

Does anyone even know what they're talking about ^ ....?

What's the etiquette here for reviving old threads?
Wanted to chat about Comics and seen there was an old thread but it's 2 years old - I know some forums I've been on disprove of that kind of thing.

@BruceCM, I think he's begging for high level loot but no idea what game it's for.

Something was in my mind about Tales series games by Bandai Namco.
I have never played that franchises, something that made me intrigued by unusual circumstances.
When i saw a shirtless dude in swimsuit from Tales games (browsed from Google Image and found he was Sorey from Zestiria), i was Wooow... (whistle) Who's that guy ?
Kinda made me curious about that franchises since they have swimsuit outfits fanservice like Xenoblade too.
I researched their series history, it was quite a lot installment until this year.
From what i saw, the gameplay was kinda pretty noisy due to constantly screams from players during attacking foes. Their series was okay for me until i saw the contents from Xillia and the next series, i saw Blood mentioned from ESRB explanation started from Xillia until Berseria. The games was rated CERO B & Teen but rated PEGI 16 in Europe but surprisingly it eas rated PG by Australian rating, except Xillia 2, Berseria (CERO C).
When i saw Blood mentioned from ESRB rating (Not Mild Blood or Animated Blood), i quickly did some reasearch and found the impact of Blood was pretty disturbing me by reading the texts "blood was on the dead corpse, bloodpool from dead animal, blood from anime style scene by impale but no blood spurts during battle".
Also, i accidentally found a bloody scene of Zestiria anime scene and instantly i changed my mind.
Something that really crossing my line despite they have good character design.
I could only consider until Graces F for milder contents.
I felt interested only by swimsuits outfits started from Xillia but i couldn't consider Xillia and above due to Blood content, the thing that really not allowed in my gaming area.
How frustrating.
I felt disappointed, i thought i could consider Tales series games by majority on PS3 and PS4, but i was wrong.

@Anti-Matter I would consider giving the games a try, I can honestly say that I didn't find any of them excessively gory although Bersaria felt a little darker in tone than previous entries.
Symphonia is one of my favourite entries in the series, it was on GC but may have also been on PS3.
There is also the port of Vesperia on switch which is an amazing game and is quite often on sale.
Arise is one of my most anticipated games for this year.

@Anti-Matter the blood really isn't that bad I don't think. I know you tend to have pretty weird decisions on what is and isn't appropriate (probably because where you're from). But I don't see how unrealistic blood can be that big of a deal. I'm just asking why you find blood so inappropriate. From my point of view blood is a small thing compared to any form of sexual content and suggestive language.

@Blooper987
Because it was SIN, EVIL and SAVAGE.
I have been traumatized by blood and gore scenes from rated 18+ games in the past when i was kid by accidentally.
I extremely hate to see blood spurts brutally. WTF 😠
Just accidentally found that content made me turned off immediately.
I will not forcing myself to buy games with contents that clearly breaking my gaming rules.

Been away for a while, but it's good to see the NLife forums haven't changed much...

@Mr-Fuggles777
Sorry, no can do.
Even if i probably only consider Graces F & Symphonia on PS3, i still unsure with the gameplay and storyline.

Mild Blood and Animated Blood are still tolerable for me but not Blood.
My gaming Rules number 2, No Blood allowed, only Mild blood and Animated Blood are allowed because the impact also from the scene that showing more disturbing contents than Mild blood / Animated blood.
I'm very selective and tight when judging rated Teen games.

@Anti-Matter I can tell we have very different opinions on stuff that is “wrong”. But I completely understand it if you don’t feel comfortable with the sight of blood. You definitely wouldn’t like some of my favorite games though😅.

@Anti-Matter as they are cell shaded games wouldn't any blood in them fall under the category of "animated blood"?
Its a shame if you find the blood a turn off as a lot of the other aspects would definitely tick your boxes - very girly princess types and buff good looking guys, strong story elements (if somewhat clichéd) and great RPG combat systems.

@Mr-Fuggles777
I found the disturbing content from their anime style scenes.
I saw with my eyes the 3 disturbing screenshots that shown people impaled by sword with blood on it.
Once i found that disturbing contents, i immediately stop thinking about those series.
I saved the screenshot of Sorey in swimsuit in my phone, he looked hot but i couldn't consider the game due to breaking my gaming rules. It broke my heart.

@Anti-Matter no worries. What about the Naruto games, they are pretty good (although more fighter than RPG) and not overly violent or has a lot of blood - the anime has more blood than the games so I would probably recommend not watching that.

@Mr-Fuggles777
Not interested with Naruto games as i have ever watched the gameplay from peoples playing and Youtube.

But for ridiculous situation, Fairy Tail PS4 only made me intrigued by looking at the shirtless dudes (i took their screenshots) but not interested at all by the gameplay, nor even staring at the bikini girls.
I have ever watched Fairy Tail anime but not really interested. Just only drolling at shirtless Gray and his sibling Lyon because they always strip their shirt to release their Ice power in anime.

Went out this morning to pick up some things needed for the apartment, and ended up treating myself a Super Mario Bros. Game and Watch since the store had a few left. I'm still amused I had no trouble finding this or the SNES Classic a few years back.

@MarioLover92, @Tyranexx, @ThanosReXXX
Seems like I wasn't the only one who was having issues with it. Like @Tyranexx said it seems to be fixed now, but the next time it happens, and if it goes longer than this one did, we should probably contact Eel to see what should be done to fix it.

@ThanosReXXX
Totally agree with what you said. If we don't move on, it can start to harm us mentally and physically. Next time that happens, I'll clear my cache to see if that fixes it.

@Tyranexx
That's good. Nice, it always feels good to make significant progress in games. Yeah, work (and life in general) tends to slow down our progress in things like games, movies, TV shows, etc. Also, if you don't mind me asking, how long were you on remote working, or off of work, since we just Christmas and New Years'?
Yeah, I get that. As long as you continue your current strategy of reducing your backlog, you (hopefully) should be able to significantly reduce your backlog within the next year (or two).

@ogo79
How do you even find these "its dangerous to go alone!" memes?

@Mr-Fuggles777
You're going to need to create a new thread because Forums that are older than 6 months (or a year even) are considered "dead threads" and shouldn't be revived.
Also, if you don't mind me asking, did you change your name? I'm asking because I thought your name was ChaosBadger777, but now it's Mr-Fuggles777, so I'm a little confused.

@SM3DASislit thank you, that's generally the rule but I've been on forum's where they like you to dig up a dead thread so it's always better to ask (or i could have read the rules but who has time for that lol)

I did change my name from Chaos Badger after a conversation with @COVIDberry. My picture is of a Fuggler and a comment made me laugh enough to change the name to match.

Yeah.... I could probably have predicted that response, and normally, as a glass half-full person, I'd agree, but in your specific case, the uniqueness of your "type" would sooner translate to the extreme, meaning you're very, VERY lonely in your views, and that is never a good thing. It means that you will find little, if any, people that share your likes, so it's far more difficult to find people to play and enjoy your games with, and it puts you under a microscope, because most people will simply classify you as weird.

But of course, in the end, if you're happy with it, then that is basically all that matters for you personally. Just always be aware of how and where you fit in, in the larger scheme of things, so you'll know how people might react. Much like how you've already experienced from several of us here on NLife.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand Too late now, my man. The cat's out of the bag. Or something along those lines...

@Tyranexx Wants to try and build her own PC, but right now just doesn't have the time. Duly noted...
All kidding aside, I reckon it isn't for everyone, and for most, ready made systems will be their go to solution, but as mentioned before, I kinda pegged you for a tech head, kind of overlooking that it was more on the software side of things. My bad, I suppose...

@ogo79 Just leave it up to ogo to come up with just the right mix of funny and kinda creepy at the same time...

@SM3DASislit When it happens next time, you should give a shout out to antdickens, the tech wizard on here. He's responsible for most, if not all, technical things regarding the NLife web site. Most admins will not be able to help out, other than giving you some advice on options to try, much like I already did earlier.

@Bexnn865 No begging allowed on here, and this is also the wrong thread for that. Look up the thread for whatever game you're talking about.

@Mr-Fuggles777 If you want to know more about the rules of reviving/continuing threads, then our Chit-Chat resident mod @Eel will be able to tell you all about it...

@Octane Erm... welcome back, I suppose? Took a break, did you?
