Holy loving poo poo, how did I not know about this until now? Can't wait for this. David Hayter voice acting too!

Now that Inafune and Igarashi have funded games, I wonder how long we'll have to wait for Kojima's Kickstarter for another Snatcher. :pray:

Kojima has like the biggest presence of any name in Japanese games short of Miyamoto, he doesn't need a kickstarter.

Still no podcast? I've been getting into the groove of listening to it early Tuesday morning in the background during my night owl gaming sessions.

vvv Nice, downloading now.

Haha the first two highlights are the Super Bunnyhop vid and Iga's Kickstarter.

It's what the Bloodstained Kickstarter calls the Castlevania games directed by Igarashi. So, the Castlevania games and Bloodstained.

Yeah, Igarashi doesn't want to call them Metroidvanias so as to avoid annoying Nintendo (and because SOTN was actually trying to copy Zelda, not Metroid, but that's beside the point...)

If Symphony was trying to copy Zelda II (my favorite Zelda game), then that makes me love SOTN even more.

Re: Bloodborne. Does this game ever end or what? I'm Level 81 and the only areas I haven't explored are the Nightmare Frontier and the Nightmare of Mensis. I just recently killed The One Reborn. Am I close?

Nightmare of Mensis is the last zone before the last boss. If you haven't found Upper cathedral ward yet, remember to do so.

I did, but the big golden gate is locked and the door found in the hallway upstairs cannot be opened from that side. I figure those would open up later...?

If I have one gripe about the game, it's that it's a little too obtuse on what specific area you need to go to at what specific time. I never got lost, but I do have to keep a few notes in my phone about doors that may be accessible later on when I end up cleaning another unrelated area. Like, I don't want the game to hold my hand, but it's easy to forget to see if there have been any differences in previous area when backtracking.

For that door remember the place with the respawning old ladies and the cthulhu monster that shot a eyebeam at you? Hug the right wall of that area and you'll see a gap in the fence. There's a key if you follow that path that opens the upper ward.

The Frenzy issue really doesn't come up that much. Low insight does have some uses if you want to play with Beasthood or gently caress with Hemwick but aside of that it's not a huge deal.

Main issue with high insight is you can't do beasthood stuff and frenzy resistance doesn't really help too much since insight gives you negative frenzy resistance.

It's not that it will really gently caress you over or anything but there's really no positives to having high Insight, and it's just kinda silly to see them begrudge loosing it when they aren't really using it for anything anyway.

The positive is that you see more cool poo poo (although they have seen almost all of that already).

You don't even need to parry to get in there. Just dodge a swing then murder the enemies. I've never really understood how people are so passive/defensive in souls games, especially in Bloodborne since it's so tailor-made for aggressiveness.

I wouldn't call people who've only played the Souls games "real" From Soft fans. They're just their own special breed of crazy that Pat fits into quite well (well, mostly).
