The Humble Bundle this month is Dark Souls III with the DLC. Dark Souls III wasn't well received among fans though, right?

the Dark Souls series' fan reception is as twisted as its timeline, play whichever you want and see what you enjoy.

If only Konami kept setting money on fire...

I love MGS5, but let's not pretend Kojima didn't gently caress around and waste lots of time and cash. I wonder if Sony has anyone keeping him in check for Death Stranding.

They also killed every single franchise they owned, so it's not all on Kojima's back here.

man I totally forgot to post the other night when I stumbled onto the sidequest in Yakuza 0 that has you writing postcards to a radio station about previous sidequests you've completed, which from a sheer "player character actually remembers things they did in the past and uses the memories gained from them to do something calming and twee like writing a postcard to a radio station for a crazy story contest" is fuckin' crazy to me. what a ridiculous little detail

Playing the LiS prequel is reminding me how much I hated the 'real' ending of the original and also how much I hate stories where you know the characters are doomed from the start.

I love those, but I admit I might be somewhat of a masochist.

Ark gets really, really screwed by everything. All he wanted was to have his village life back; he pretty much has to create the world, then guide its lifeforms through eons, the plants, the animals, the humans, even help them develop their technology and society. Then, in the end, after all that, the reward he gets for his efforts is...one day, one single day of his normal life. Then it is gone.

Seeing what the humans do to the animal lifeforms that you cared for so much also is a bit sad.

You only get proper exp for leveling up from doing Main Story Quests and those are always suited for whatever current level you are. Contracts, Side Quests, and others should be done at your own pace and mostly for the flavor.

Also, look for the Griffin Set Schematics - hit every vendor you see on your way and make it your priority to buy those -, you're still a bit way off from being able to equip it but get on that as soon as you hit the suitable level.
