I’ve only watched episode 1 thus far but I found it kind of bland, seems very focus grouped. I have not seen any of the Marvel stuff that I know Disney also does but it seemed like my idea of that stuffed like focus grouped for white guys who look like me but aren’t ashamed of it.

Boba Fett coming out after a lot of people saw Dune after previously knowing nothing about Dune makes all the stuff Lucas lifted wholesale from Dune much funnier

why da gently caress are there two star wars show right now and both are about devil-may-care bounty hunters with hearts of gold wearin the same god darn armor set during the same time period in a freaking limitless universe. you could have set it in -12309 and had it be about god darn whatever. jeez louise. you just take genghis khan and give him a lightsaber or some poo poo. how hard is it to write star wars. alexander the great boom he's got a death star. 3 seasons outta that i could give you easy. goddarn boba fett.

the last time I was in a Kohls a dude on his phone spilled an open can of house paint that he was returning to Amazon on the floor and I thought about how I would have died of shame if I dumped paint onto a store that didn't even sell paint but he just held his hand up and waved a sad employee over like it was fine

It's more Ghost. So yes I'd say so. Like it doesn't add anything game changing. Just more of the same. The same being one of the best games ever

No it's not really like anything. The combat is very much perry focused in a huge open world. All enemies and bosses are the same type of character but each uses a style that has a counter style. The theme of the story is about fighting straight on vs stealth assassin style and this is reflected in the gameplay.

It's a clear the map type but closer to witcher 3 where everything you do feels stylish and interesting and not filler

So is charging in headfirst a viable play style? It looks like a cool game but subtlety isn't my forte.

Also zero bullshit sidequests, a solid story with interesting choices and easily the prettiest graphics on ps4

You can definitely charge in if you want there’s even a bonus to just entering a camp and calling people out, as someone who is used to souls/sekiro i found the combat easy but never dull

Seriously. The Knights of the Old Republic era is RIGHT there!

But no, have to keep with what people know - bounty hunters with less than seven minutes of screen time in the original trilogy, not lightsabers and space opera.

Burying my anger in the past

I think character design and the cliche of stranger with mysterious past just enticed the masses.

Look at Marvels Wolverine: indestructible killing machine with a mysterious past. Easily one of the most boring x men yet he ends up in all the x books.

This is why I don’t want origin stories for characters like this. That Snake-Eyes movie was GARBAGE. Just give me 90 minutes of Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow trying to kill each other with ninja weapons. Waste of Andrew Koji’s time.

There’s not a lot to spoil, it’s your completely basic by-the-numbers origin story. Snake-Eyes’ dad was a Joe and got killed and left him dice so that’s where he got his name, meets Storm Shadow, talks to three giant sentient cobras that live under the dojo, there’s a big fight at the end, and he gets his costume in the last scene.

It was a bummer.

I’m also doing it with a regular old strength knight, my first full play through i got super lucky with a black knight sword drop in undead burg and i’ve never gotten that drop again which sucks cause if you don’t the only other place I know it drops
is the last area in the game and that sword is easy mode.

I usually go STR cause I love big two handed weapons but idk, might do something different. DEX and go for Shiva's sword maybe?

I played all kinds of builds over the years but I'll never get tired of fast rolling with light armor and a Zweihänder. Throw in Power within and you're a real glass cannon.

you have a decent chance of getting a bks when you go back to the undead asylum. make sure you have as much liquid humanity as you care to risk (up to 10) and maybe the gold serpent ring from sen's fortress
