I've seen a spoiler thumbnail for Dark Souls 3 that just displays some text that at the very least tells you something that happens will happen. It's very very minor but still. It's dangerous out there. 11 days of this poo poo left!

I just hope covenants work well. Half the covenants in 2 were broken as poo poo, and covenants in BB were mostly useless.

So, what happened to Games Thunderdome, and also how was it different from a fanfiction competition?

EDIT: I used to get a laugh out of telling Club Nintendo that I heard about everything out of Something Awful. I mean, it was true, but I could just imagine a bunch of treehouse members scrambling to see what this forum was.

I watch Twitch a lot and if anything new comes out someone I know will stream it and I can tell if it is obviously hot garbage or deceptively hot garbage

I don't give a poo poo about spoilers though or that could be a problem

Always be summoning for your first Souls run. You don't want to die alone. Instead you can all die in a group.

Won't be a Souls game if you can't eventually get through the whole of the content and start invading as an endgame-accomplished soul level 1

That joke doesn't work when you use in-game footage instead of idiots in bad costumes.

I"m already like almost done with Hyper Light Drifter. I like it. There are few things here and there the game could do better on. There is no text dump of a story, it's mostly told through cutscenes and visuals. The combat is pretty good, nothing too complicated but it's not a button mash game. The dashing mechanic does take a little getting used to, and you have to keep in mind the dashing does not make you invincible. The game's music is good, the artsytle, yes it's pixel art but I think it is used for its strengths. This game doesn't hold your hand in terms of what you have to do. It's not that hard to figure out. I enjoyed from what I played.

The only knock I have against it is the power ups. Wish they could be a bit more clearer on what does what on some upgrades. Some of the upgrades are pretty easy to tell what they do but some you have to figure out.

I enjoyed my purchase so I say go for it.

I signed up for the anime thread probation raffle and I put in a week. You might have to wait on updates about hyper light drifter.

I'm gonna watch some more gameplay videos of it, and then probably just buy it next paycheck.

DP has even worse gameplay but it at least has some things to make it worthwhile (though really there's no reason to actually play DP when SGF's LP exists)

I'd argue that DP had better gameplay because while the combat was mediocre as hell it gave you infinite ammo weapons like candy so you can then just focus on dicking around town and interacting with the townsfolk.

All Alan Wake had gameplaywise was its clunky and repetitive combat. American Nightmare had good combat though.
