I posted on GAF a lot back in the day, but then that forum got overridden by chuds and its reincarnation is pretty dumb. It’s amusing to me that Something Awful of all places turned out to be one of the lefter-leaning places I could hang out.

That split sucked immensely

It was nice to have a very active general games forum for up to minute news and an active community with ok moderation

Now Reddit sucks rear end and half the gaming dialogue is on twitch and youtube, with a handful of meh forums out there. It's horrific how many gaming forums were overrun by absolute chuds (or in some cases, the whiplash alternative which is just as unusable though for different reasons)

Looking forward to trying out Nocturne when the remaster comes out, but I'm more excited for saga frontier's remaster pc release, though idk how much it'll cost

SF is a weird loving game, but that applies to the entire series

I can't remember the main designers name, he's crazy

So serious question. I typically hate action games because I have horrible reflexes and hate the combat but I have a love affair with Zelda. BotW is the perfect game of the genre for me because you can avoid the majority of combat and brute force the ones that are necessary.

Would I enjoy Dark Souls? I bounced off of Skyrim hard, largely because it felt stiff on the Switch.

I... don't think so?

Dark Souls is hard. And not in some meme sense, it's legitimately difficult with some very challenging bosses if you're not comfortable with its mechanics, and that's ignoring some sometimes cruel areas and some really mean optional/bonus bosses.

That said, it's not a ridiculous twitch action game, or DMC, and there are absolutely builds that can clown on basically anything the game throws at you (it is also an rpg, and it has a very mature, very experienced community who know how to break it into its constituent atoms).

The one part you might really enjoy is the exploration in all of Souls and BB is absolutely awesome and one of my favorite parts of the game.

Stay the gently caress away from Sekiro.

If you're curious, I'd say grab it, go ask the Goon Souls thread for a build guide and follow that, but if you dislike the combat in Zelda I'm not sure you'd enjoy the challenges in Souls. On the other hand, if you vibe with the exploration and cunning dungeon/area design, you might push through the other bits.

Strikers is such a bizarre product on so many levels

That it exceeded sales expectations genuinely amazes me

It would be better without rex.

I want to finish it because I loved 1 and I'm a slave to franchises

... wait no, it's because I liked the world and combat

But man I picked it back up and wuff, not a friendly game to resume if you took a long break.

Anyone using it should already know better, but do not use or treat Discord as remotely private or secure in any way shape or form

That's now, it'll be worse in the future

Planeswalkers killed the game stone cold for me

I played it competitively in the dark ages, met Garfield at a tourney, that's my exciting story thanks for reading

NG2: I'm very near the end of the game now and it is not messing around. Room after room of the most bullshit enemies which require super aggressive play and/or a load of cheesing. I'm at the last save point now so all being good I'll be beating this game in my next play session :pray:

And then comes MGS4 :getin:

that's some tonal and gameplay whiplash

enjoy the creepy rear end cams I guess
