I guess I should ask instead of killing myself over and over again. There's a ghost that hates when I stab other ghosts. I've actually died for the first time since Hornet and actually died a few times because I can't keep the parry volley going. Am I doing something wrong or is it just a test of reflexes :v:?

If you get Zelda before the trip you aren’t going to need anything else, but....Hollow Knight, obvs.

Don't get Zelda before the trip, unless you're good with your trip being entirely about playing Zelda in a hotel instead of your house. That thing will consume you and nearly every other activity will feel like something that just gets in the way of playing more Zelda.

Dead Cells' combat and drip fed unlockable cycle are so satisfying that I'm guessing I'll get an easy 20 hours of play before I've unlocked everything & realize the procedurally generated world is boring and quit. That is high praise coming from me. 8/10

The way unlocks work (find blueprint (some of which are rare,) don't gently caress up and die before making it to a mid-level to drop off said blueprint, then grind out enough cells to actually unlock the item) ensures it would take far more than 20 hours to unlock everything.

The world has been pretty boring from the get-go, but the combat is really solid. The thing that's probably gonna get me to quit is how bullshit the last boss is.

i liked the ghost designs in the cemetery too much to attack them, but i think you only get one dream point for each anyway so it's hardly helpful

I read that if you kill every ghost there and come back, the guard guy forgets why he’s there and gets all depressed and no longer fights hard. I would never do it though.

Found a boss that actually took me a couple tries. I still don't really understand the intended way to beat him.

Galien. I got him low every time but his bouncy rock thing just turned into a homing shot in his last phase and I couldn't fake it out anymore. Winning run was just a damage race because I couldn't get it off me at all. First time I've felt like I was doing something a little too early. If I get a dash with i-frames or something later I'll kick myself.

Sorry if this has been asked before but does anyone have any experience buying from the Japanese eshop? Should I just change my Nintendo account region and change it back (I have a download code to use) or create a whole new account? I guess my question is what would be the easiest way to accomplish this? I don't intend to use the japan eshop besides this time.

The best Monster Hunter demo is having some friends who are really into it teach you.

Despite how good World is, I never got it because I'm in a rare situation where I still meet up with friends locally on weekends and we all have Switches, and spent loads of time playing the 3DS ones.
