Now I'm going to sing the Perry Mason theme

the runback to Capra is terrible, but if you take the stairs down just in front of the fog gate, you can unlock a shortcut to Firelink. that runback is long, but it's not a gauntlet like from the Undead Burg.

DS1 is dank, but full of bullshit and half finished areas in the back half of the game. it's also hilariously broken by speedrunners and code explorers. don't feel bad about cheesing what can be cheesed.

DS2 is extra everything supersize souls. lots of build options, the best fashion souls, also lots and lots of jank. (and bosses that's a just huge guy in armor).

DS3 is tight. best balance and smoothness in gameplay. very linear compared to DS1, but most of the bullshit has been stripped out.

I recently beat DS3 for the first time. I'd say it is correct to say it is the closest to ER. I enjoyed it a lot

And DS2 kinda blows. Just feels awful to play, kinda hard to explain but everything felt sluggish. I gave up and went straight to DS3.

DS2 is an amazing sequel to DS1 that is an improvement on everything that game did.

DS3 is that but to Bloodborne instead

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.
c fo4 s: finally hit fatigue point on my survival run. made it to the place you need to be in glowing sea for the liberty prime mission and just… lost the drive to push ahead. might have something to do with having caught up on my podcasts

still have not picked a side definitively, but have joined all except the minutemen who remain unmet in concord. i’m at level 31 and have 15,000 caps and mark V X-01 power armor with 20 cores on an endurance 1 + charisma 1 build. feels like actually finishing the game is fait accomplit, which sucks the fun out of even playing survival tbqh

i will note that my strat of rushing to diamond city to get home plate as a main base of operations paid off. the institute teleport point is a quick sprint north, and that teleport point is a quick/reliable vertibird summoning point as well. railroad hq is a quick swim from boston airport. would recommend for anyone who just wants to spade out everything

I'm a huge slut for open world RPGs where you sneak through bases with kinda repetitive gameplay, I'm going to play this so hard.

this is usually what happens to me too whenever i play fo4, i think the game is at its best when all the factions are fighting each other. after a while you realize there is a lot to do, but it isnt very deep

i also kind of noped when i remembered fo4 doesn’t have ending slides that depend on different quests etc. it’s like 90% set and the last 10% is one of 5 things

yeah it’s pretty shallow. each faction just kind of goes into “kill each other faction” except if you do golden minutemen ending. and idgaf about the minutemen other than their unique gauss rifle
