    Random thoughts on whatever JRPG you're currently playing?

    Damn, I think I'm gonna drop it then. I really have to force myself to play and I'm just 10 hours in.

    Random thoughts on whatever JRPG you're currently playing?

    I bought Final Fantasy X during the Summer Sale since I haven't played it before, but I gotta say that it really is a drag so far. Hallway after hallway, getting interrupted by short cutscenes every few steps. The combat is alright and the leveling interesting in theory, but I feel like most of...

    Atlus Soul Hackers 2 - SMT spinoff (PS4/5, XBO/S/X, Steam 8/2022)

    That doesn't really inspire confidence in me. It really seems like they try to appeal to the Persona side. Surroundings and demons look nice, though, but the atmosphere really gets kicked down by having the MC run around with a glow-up polygon jacket.

    From Software It's another Demon's Souls thread god damnit

    After finishing Elden Ring, I was in the mood for some more From, so I went back to the series beginnings, since I have never played Demon's Souls before. Of course I choose the original version and not the shit Bluepoint put out. I really had to get used to the slower, more deliberate movement...

    Atlus Soul Hackers 2 - SMT spinoff (PS4/5, XBO/S/X, Steam 8/2022)

    Damn, I wish I could game together with an Imperial Japanese Samurai Lich.

    Incline The White Raven - Mystical Shamantic Open World Turn-Based Tactical RPG

    The visuals look pretty nice, will definitely keep an eye on that. I also like the influences the dev mentions and how he tries to combine them, even though the "Open-World" tag on Steam could make one a bit sceptical.

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    Yeah, fuck that shit. I almost got her today, but the second phase fucked me over when she had maybe a quarter of her health left. It's also fun how she changes from superfast, lifeleach sword moves to hard to dodge AoEs AND fast sword moves in her second phase.

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    I haven't played it yet, but isn't Ghost of Tsushima set after a historical invasion by the Mongols? Not really comparable to a mythical and more disconnected setting like Elden Ring. You've even got some more mundane places like the windmills in the north, but the story and world of ER are...

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    I feel like Malenia was designed to counter everyone relying on ashes. Most of the time my mimic just serves as HP-drain fodder for her, basically invalidating any use I would have gotten out of the ash. I used one of my larval tears to respec into Dex and will try to take her down with faster...

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    Anybody already fought the Godskin Duo? This boss is pure bullshit. The single Godskin Apostle was already beating my ass, but two of them? It feels like they wanted to do another Ornstein and Smough, but failed to realize that O&S was fun because one enemy was slow and a hard hitter, while the...

    BABYLON'S FALL [PC, PS4]

    Posted 6 hours ago, got 27 likes, and the gameplay shown looks like shit as well. Really pathetic. Is Platinum going to survive this? I can't see this sell more than a few thousand copies max, especially since it's releasing right next to Elden Ring.

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    Just beat Radahn. The presentation of the fight was pretty cool, but the actual fight was ass. Fuck those spinning attacks that just keep going on and on. Once again, having bleed on your weapon is a huge help in most bossfights. It's pretty easy to get sidetracked in this game. Oftentimes I...

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    I just ran past that NPC, the magic arrow is really ridiculous. This shit can even hit you through walls if you stand too close. On another note, just beat Margit after getting my ass beaten a few times and I was surprised how easy Godrick was after that.

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    I'm starting to get worried. My PC already is at the lower end of the requirements, so bad optimization could be my death blow. I really don't want to drive to the store tomorrow to get the PS4 version :despair:

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    Damn, I would have never thought that I take Schreier's side in an argument, but here we are. Elden Ring's effect is really wondrous, even before its release it can turn enemies into comrades. Also on a different note concerning the replies to that tweet, how the fuck is having to write stuff...
