Samurai Sanders posted:Probably the latter. He's just so distressed that you blocked his arrow.  Two bosses!Those guys are like, the perfect distilled form of the Sekiro experience. Extremely aggressive, dangerous, and terrifying at first, then a decent bit of knowledge about how they work turns them into chumps.

CharlestheHammer posted:Sekiro is ultimately just dark Souls but focusing more on countering rather than dodging. One of the things I love about FromSoft games is they basically beat indoctrinated playstyles out of you, including playstyles they indoctrinated you with in earlier games. Demon's Souls/Dark Souls beats you down until you realize this isn't your standard action RPG where you can charge headlong into anything with minimal repercussions. The "easiest" enemies in the game will wreck you if you get surrounded or you're reckless. You're forced to constantly evaluate your surroundings and be methodical. Dark Souls 2 mixes it up further with encounters against multiple enemies at once and the introduction of life gems. You can't rely too heavily on lock-on as you might have done in the previous game, and you have to weigh slower healing with mobility against faster healing with no mobility. Bloodborne breaks your dependence on shields and encourages aggression through the rally mechanic. Dark Souls 3 doesn't change much other than a faster pace than the previous Souls games (it's my least favorite for this reason, among others). Sekiro breaks your dependence on dodging and demands that you learn to parry. You could have played every Soulsborne game up to this point without parrying if you relied on shields, projectiles, or dodging. You won't get anywhere in Sekiro until you learn to parry.

I think Souls Borne and Sekiro all focusing on what they focus on is for the best. Each game has functionally the same combat but the focus is on something different and making the games play like any of the others will just make players tire of them faster

MeatwadIsGod posted:I played Demon's Souls after having played DS1 and DS3 and it's still my favorite Souls game. Valley of Defilement and Tower of Latria ftw Mah Man! Ya that is honestly some of the best level design by From in terms of pure atmosphere. As you go through the level, the level itself tells a story. Tower of Latria is a prison for the insane and the boss at the conclusion of the area clones herself during the fight. Even if you kill her she respawns making the player question his sanity. Did I really kill this piece of poo poo or no? As soon as you leave the boss area the fog gate returns. What brilliant design. Of course you have to destroy the critter at the top of the church, to kill her perma but I feel like a lot of players will miss it in their first attempt. Valley of Defilement isn't as oppressive as Blighttown but it is a lot grotesque. Probably one of the most grotesque level by From to date. The Astrea boss arena with the dead fetuses pulling you down is something else. Also it's a really unique fight and the theme for the boss is a great Piano track. DeS definitely isn't the best Souls in terms of action but it's probably still the most unique in terms of level design, boss design and not just because it came out first. It was my first Fromsoft game and my first PS3 game so I do have lots of nostalagia for it. I still have my PS3 but I haven't hooked it up for a while, definitely interested in replaying it. Just waiting to see if I should play the OG version or Bluepoint are indeed remaking it.

If you like Star Wars it's a perfectly fine $20 game, I was gifted it at Christmas time and its enjoyable enough even if its a little clunky. Admittedly if you still like Star Wars after the last movie there may be something wrong with you but still!

Why do Star Wars games and everything keep teasing us with views of of the insides of wrecked ships? You could set multiple whole games inside that and I'd be happy.

I'll probably give it a shot at some point. Lately I've had a hankering to play Battlefront 2. I hear they removed all the f2p stuff and it's semi-good now? I just want to play a decent Star Wars fps.

The Mandalorian is the best Star Wars property and it's not really debatable. There are 11-12 movies in the series and only 1 of them is recognized to be generally any good, there's about 15 seasons of CGI cartoons in various states of dissaray, and about 15 video games, 5 of which are pretty good and the rest of which are dogshit. Mando is easily top of the heap.

Mando is great. So is Mando, the character from Sesame Street who now plays Qing in the prison break episode. Don't judge me. Daycare is closed and I've watched a poo poo load of sesame Street in the background.

I’ve only seen one star war movie and I enjoyed the mandolorian. Great score. speaking of tv shows that whip sack, I’m surprised that no ones attempted a Fargo-esque game. I can’t think of a game studio with writers who’d even get close to being as funny or as affecting but I bet that snow tech would look pretty good!

Samurai Sanders posted:Yeah no bugs for me either, I just lost interest. The opening area in the starship demolition site was by far the most interesting environment I've seen so far in the game and it was over in like 30 minutes. Yeah see I hope the next game is just more of that, more Uncharted like, and less of the Dark Souls aping. I feel like if they concentrated on a more linear, more spectacle based experience it would be great I still really liked Fallen Order though, it's a solid 8/10

I suspect the mandalorian was only as good (the OT is better dont be absurd bust rodd) as it ended up being because it flew under the radar and was a pretty small story The fact that they already announced that all your favorite extraneous characters like Ahsoka and Boba Fett will be in the next season leads me to believe lightning is not gonna strike twice

I fully agree with your post but as a real big DS2 fan I laugh when I see this said about life gems, life gem healing in DS2 is absurdly fast. You can eat multiple gems (I think up to 3) to increase the speed, then from there each time you eat a gem it refreshes the duration and keeps the full stacks. You can go mostly-afk standing in a poison cloud while an enemy is hitting you and never really drop below full health if you keep popping in to eat a life gem every 10 seconds, and you can hold 99 life gems and buy them for a pittance from a vendor you meet 5 minutes into the game

Mando is easily top of the heap. The Empire Strikes Back and The Last Jedi are both the best movies of their respective trilogies. The Mandolorian has too many junk episodes for it to better than merely good for me. I can think of two episodes from season 1 that are very dull.

bows1 posted:Was there an update altering the enemies in Sekiro at all ? Can not for the life of me remember this giant baby with the wooden shield in Senpou Yeah they were there, the updates changed some minor things like making the bull a little easier, changing the poise damage on certain abilities, changing the spirit emblem cost of a bunch of stuff and changing the items you get for killing the headless to last as long as the consumable versions of each. Maybe some other stuff, but there were always 3 of those enemy types at Senpou, the first room with the monks sitting down, and the two on that hill.

Crows Turn Off posted:I don't want to buy FF7Remake until the full game is out. Will it 2023 before all of it is released? FF7R2 will probably be out 2024, especially since they're just in the planning stages of what they want to do. I looked at what parts they've done and what they're likely to do and there is no way they will release less than 3 parts. There's just too much content, not even the source content, but the extra embellishing they're doing too.

Like if I was watching the show with someone and was like Oh poo poo that's Ahsoka and the person was like "who is Ashoka," like, she was a cool character from Clone Wars who had a similar attitude to Anakin rolling around the galaxy kicking rear end for the Republic but then slowly realizing that the Republic and also the Jedi were absolute dogshit. But she peaced out instead of murdering kids and becoming Darth Vader. I mean, "warrior that has some issues with Jedi" isn't exactly a groundbreaking character beat for Star Wars movies.
