Might give it a shot- need something to play in short bursts coming up here while I'm busy with other stuff

Any better platform to get it on?

sharrrk posted:

if you arent going to locals get it on pc cuz it has the lowest input lag and a lot of players. theyre planning to add crossplay later on anyway

This, but because I don’t enjoy sitting at my computer to play games and it is a pain to hook the computer up to the TV, I am strongly considering double-dipping on PS5.

i don't remember 7r's trophies but sekiro's looked pretty easy, just a matter of having the patience to buy every skill. you can do it!

Excellent. Both games will be second playthoughs, and it was nice finding the rhythm for Sekiro from the onset.

My bed frame keeps finding new ways to attack me. A piece of the metal broke off and started jutting out at the foot of the bed, reaching for me to try and scratch me when I get up out of bed. I'm gonna be very excited when I can finally trash this thing. One of the days I'm gonna wake up impaled on a support bar.

I’m a moron, and an absolute sucker for both handheld devices that play games and weird input methods for games (I have dk bongo controllers, etc) so I’m really lookin forward to it. The game they’ve shown a few times of a car drifting around a parking lot looks super fun, almost like Super Off Road. I bet it feels really nice to crank that thing.

Whatever a game dev wants. Its just another input. You could make a fishing game or a side scroller where you literally scroll the screen.

Its just something novel to inspire games to try new things that stand out.

the hardware is by the same people that make these things, which imo puts it into at least some kind of context. bespoke hardware manufacturing for weirdos. not everyone is strong enough to handle the crank and thats okay

Maero has gotta be one of the dumbest motherfuckers ever. Yeah remember the guy who a couple years back literally conquered and eradicated three gangs that had been fighting for decades. In like a week. And whose already broken out of prison and rescued someone from death row. Yeah I'll offer him twenty percent. At least the ronin and samedi are massive cartels. The brotherhood I'd just some guys.
