As an old souls player who doesn’t touch many new souls games, and only really goes back to Bloodborne, I can say this is the one souls game I played, dropped, then came back and finished. Very good game, very good systems. You can tell how much they loved Bloodborne specifically when making this game. It has a very similarly focused art style and I’m a big fan.
Astral ascent just got a new 2.0 update for like 10 bucks. Great little roguelite and I’m excited to play it again with the new content when I get home.
I find that FF16 (which might now be my favorite FF just for the moments and music) is a game of very high highs and very low lows, scored with an insanely incredible soundtrack that keeps me listening and remembering all the best moments over and over again.
I find looking back on those moments as so much fun really helps me overlook the plethora of issues the game has, the relatively boring exploration and side quests, the lack of party members etc. Those are all damning for many people but I find the game strangely refreshing, and I found the combat simple but enjoyable. I honestly think the story is serviceable, but Ben Starr really brings incredible life to Clive, better than the character deserved honestly.
All in all, I’ll never forget FF16. so for that reason alone it is one of my favorite FF games.
Same, I was curious but as of last checking there was no website update.
For me Disco Elysium is definitely my favorite of all time if we count it.
If we don’t for some reason, then Hi-Fi Rush is an absolute joy of a game and I’ve loved every second of it. Very obviously a labor of love and far more gamified than Disco Elysium.
Zuck is, however, at the top of the list for lizard person index.
Bezos has such a shit-eating grin. Really makes him infinitely more punchable
Owlcat in general, despite their buggy releases, make absolutely ambitious and exciting games that are terrifically well written. Wrath of the Righteous is my favorite CRPG out there, and Rogue Trader is close to that as well.
Not OP, but I also just finished the game. I had a lot of fun, IMO it’s a solid 8/10. It’s not the greatest RPG but it’s got decent writing, fun choices and mostly interesting characters. The exploration is fun, but with the way gearing and loot works it gets stale (luckily for me, that only happened near the end of the game).
Hope the game does well cause it’s probably the most "finished’ an obsidian game has ever been.
What are the protests about?
I know it’s crude but I still can’t kick my love for the idea of a “I raped that too!” Sticker
Yeah I wasn’t sure if the art is for everyone so I didn’t mention it but I love the entire style, as well as the addition of the fake languages that the audio is done in. It really enhanced the immersion.
If you enjoy Slay the Spire and are interested in more rogue like deckbuilders, I’m a big fan of Griftlands.
It’s pretty small in scope but it has some fun ideas and three base characters/decks with their own stories you follow. It does have some meta-progression if you care about that. I find making builds in it really fun and it’s incredibly satisfying to see a deck come together and just destroy everything in your path.
Another point for Nioh 2. Still the single best souls-like for pure gameplay if you give it the chance.
Yeah this is the sad reality of weeb culture. These are the guys who try to brigade something because a character’s boobs aren’t big enough (see: Tifa in FF7 remake) and are completely, utterly serious. And they don’t understand why none of us can muster even a modicum of respect for their opinions.
That’s the $20 bucks a year price, right? If so, maybe I’ll give it a look when I’m a bit more solvent.
I want to do this so bad because I see cup of the day stuff and think “man that sounds fun” and then I remember it is a subscription (as far as I understand) and I lose interest.
Fair enough, I heard there was gliding involved. Freaking love the griffin movement, I respect wanting to copy it
So after yoinking the sky scale mount from guild wars for their dragons, they are now going to yoink the roller beetle too, gotcha
Not that old, but I’ve been playing some Far Cry 5 recently since it went on decent sale for 14 bucks on steam and I was bored.
I remember being amazed at how good far cry 3 had been all those years ago, and I know that pretty much every far cry since has been a similar game with a different skin and some updated mechanics.
The whole “home grown USA cult” does hit a bit more interesting these days, but I honestly keep finding myself shaking my head because it feels like reality is somehow more ridiculous than this far cry game in that essence.
Game is fine, I am enjoying doing the same shooting over and over as a little mental break . I feel like this game is a real missed opportunity not having a set, voiced protagonist. Choosing your blank, voiceless murder machine makes every cutscene awkward because everyone is just talking at you instead of having actual dialogue or growth.
Yeah I have seen at least a couple similar videos that were so shocking that I had to share with friends. How is that safe, or even possible? Insane.
