furniture slightly and weirdly, the lighting of the picture. i dunno if its just standard uk light rays or if its our uk cameras/phone cameras all defaulting the same kinda lighting/colour balance? not sure but theres always a uk vibe you can see. i was in one of those "show off your gaming setups" threads on another forum and i played a game with myself to see if i could tell which setup was uk and it was 100% accurate based solely on natural lighting.

UK have a grey tinge to everything. Not just a dig at the weather being bad, but when I compare my time in America to the UK, there was always a more vibrant edge to each season in the US, whereas the UK is always a weird sort of dreary grey. Like the green tinge in Fallout 3.

My guess would be that you're particularly attuned to the palpable sense of despair and dismay that permeates everything in this country. Particularly around places like train platforms. It's like having high insight in Cathedral Ward except the worst thing you're going to see is your hourly service delayed by a further 45 minutes.

the win condition is killing every target in the same loop, which is apparently so tricky that there's only one specific way to do it.

That's not at all what I got. When he says "find the perfect way to killem all in one loop" I understood it as the perfect way for _you_ to tag them all. However if it ended up being that it's just a puzzle where there's only one path that would be lame as hell.

I certainly hope that's not the case. Imagine pigeonholing the player into something like that after people just got a taste of Hitman 3

Crystal Lake Witch: Apr 25, 2010

I remember them talking at one point about targets being in mutually exclusive locations, so you�d have to spend some loops figuring out how to get them closer together so that you could finally take them out.

I�ve always had the impression it was going to be more like Dishonored than something as open as hitman.

Finally got lucky and scored a PS5. Honestly, I kinda expected it to be bigger from all the talk. But yeah, really impressed by it so far. The controller is awesome and all the videos didn't make justice to the graphics improvements. I guess it kinda helps that I had just finished up Spiderman DLC a few days ago before playing Miles, so I had it fresh in my mind. And the 60 fps! Also didn't expect to play Astro to finish, as I don't usually enjoy platformers but it was really fun and charming.

I�m almost done with my first full playthrough of dark souls 3 and there are a few things that make it easier than the others. Overall I feel it�s actually very accessible. Even for total newcomers. If you�re on the fence. Play it.

You can grind souls and soul levels quite easily, and being a bit overleveled for the place your in and enemies your fighting helps.

You have just tons of weapon choices at your disposal and finding the one that works best for your brain and style, upgrading it a bunch, makes you as deadly as you can get. Weapons and upgrade materials are literally everywhere. You�re showered in them. Weapons pack a real loving punch this game, too, especially just at +2. Not even 20 minutes into the first level I had the starting sword at +1 and that made it killer for then. I think a few times in Demon Souls I felt like my sword wasn�t that strong against some enemies.. in this game there�s swords and hammers and axes that knock enemies flat on their butt with every swing. It�s amazing.

Lastly, there�s basically three types of enemies in every level, easy ones that will die in one hit, medium ones that might take 3-5 hits, and hard ones that take a real fight. Nearly 2/3 of all enemies in a level are the easy ones. So really, you can sail through levels just hacking down trash mobs left and right. Slow down a bit for the medium enemies. Slow way down and focus hard one the rare but very real hard ones. It really doesn�t have to be hard. If a player plays sloppy and isn�t watching and reacting correctly even the easy ones can wreck their health bar. So they might only take literally one single sword slash to kill, but there might be 3-5 in a room and if the player rushes things they can easily die. But, the game designers in this one really hope the player does take it slow, and they purposefully build the levels and encounters hoping the player does so. If they do, they really simply don�t have to die. Learning to focus and react correctly to kill 3-5 easy enemies, or maybe 1-2 medium enemies at a time prepares the player with every skill they need to take on a singular hard guy in an otherwise empty arena for the 2% of the level those hard enemies do pop up. It�s all winnable. And I think this is where the real genius of these games (and dark souls 3 in particular) lies. The more the player personally applies themselves, learns, pays attention to detail and takes things meticulously, the more they improve as a player and the easier the entire game gets. And so why do I think it�s actually a very accessible game this time around? Because people intrinsically want to experience a game in this manner. It�s a beautiful capitulation of a natural characteristic of all players. They nailed it with this one.

There�s also tons of bonfires, almost too many per level. That helps a lot. There�s really never a long run to a boss. Always a bonfire very nearby with maybe just a few enemies to run past to get to the fog gate.

Beyond all that, I will say just holy shiit anyone who hasn�t experienced the grandeur of the levels and set pieces in dark souls 3 is really missing out. I�m at archdragon peak right now and gently caress is it amazing to look at and explore. The first time coming up on profaned capitol, with those god rays coming down through the cave roof above onto its towers?? The impossibly large, impossibly dark and cryptic, cathedral interiors??? Bloodborne was good, demons souls was ok, but if you like to explore and be blown away at what you�re seeing with your eyes.. this is it. I can�t tell you how many times I�ve pushed through a challenging, downright frustrating encounter just to overcome it because damnit I HAD to see what�s next.

I'm roughly in the same area, third playthrough, and it's been my favorite Souls (with the actual Souls name) game since it came out, but i appreciate it more each time. I can I honestly say I view it as equal to Bloodborne at this point. I don't really think one is better than the other. Bloodborne might a have a tiny edge due to having such a unique setting but they are both all timers.

Weird question: I bought Diablo 3 standard digitally when it first came out, and then the Eternal Edition was given away as a plus freebie, which I added to my library.

Any idea how I install the Eternal Edition instead of the standard edition from my library? I�ve got a weird situation where the dashboard icon is for the Eternal edition but it loads the standard one, and it asks me to pay for the DLC that�s in the Eternal edition.

That was a PS plus freebie?! I don't remember that at all and I usually pay pretty close attention to those.

E: Googling leads me to believe that the answer is that it was not ever a free game and that is why you are being prompted to pay for it.
