Not losing your poo poo over a loading screen is a telltale sign of insanity for sure

Loading screens are annoying, I'd rather play the game instead of starring at a static screen. And in recent years, they have gotten really excessive. It's why I have SSDs in my consoles. Still, PC loading times are much quicker.

Unpopular opinion time.

Im happy skyrim has been ported so many times. Its a very comfy, fun game to gently caress around with inbetween other games, so its nice to literally be able to switch cartriges on my switch, than have to set up and turn on a whole different console.

Skyrim on switch is pretty sick but let's not kid ourselves it's a garbage game and one does not need a "game to gently caress around with inbetween other games", like get a real hobby smdh

You dont need online to play Demons Souls.

Dark Souls 1 is my preference for favorite of the 3 Dark Souls games with two being I did not like and 3 being mediocre. Many people have different opinions but Ill give you the heads up, Dark Souls 1 is the least like Bloodborne mechanically so youll probably dig it the least.

I'm glad about not being the only one that found 3 underwhelming. The gameplay, while improved, felt like it was a weird mish mash of bloodborne's and DS and it didn't feel quite right imo. Also the score had too many faux-epic orchestral suites.

I've never seen anything like it. The same enemy will adjust its level dynamically if you switch weapons. I didn't even know it was possible to do that

Jedi knight was cool because you could make such an awesomely high jump that you'd take damage from it

And then you'd shoot force mace at an opponent, causing the gamma on their monitor to get maxed out

You're probably overthinking it. The numbers that pop out of enemies when you shoot them are all just for show.

Doom had fall damage you just had to drop down from ridiculous heights twice in a row, I got stuck inside the one tower because I kept falling twice and dying

Saint's Row The Third has upgrades that can eventually make you immune to almost all types of damage. They kinda obviously make the game boring, except for the one that removes fall damage, that gets about as hilarious as you can imagine in a game with easily accessible aircraft.

I'm reading everywhere that the PC version of Nioh is a pretty unoptimized port? I have a fairly old gaming laptop with a core i7, 8gb ram and a GTX 560M. My laptop can run something like Overwatch just fine but I guess Nioh isn't in the cards even on low settings, right?

I know you can turn off a bunch of bullshit like motion blur and stuff but the 560m is not even close to the minimum card listed in their requirements.

Sometimes the minimum requirements don't actually correspond to the lowest settings, I find. I found a video of someone running Nioh on a 760m, but yeah 560 might be a bit of a stretch. I might buy it anyway and give it a try and refund if it doesn't work though. I have basically no demands when it comes to graphics.

It's a shame because it's a drat beautiful game

I just wish that -

1) It didn't come off like a souls game at first, because it turns a lot of people off in my experience talkin to people about it

2) More games in the crazy lootfest genre like this had this much substance in the gameplay and reward for playing well

Not the aspect of Nioh I'm talking about but I am gonna pick that one up for sure. I'm referring to Nioh's crazy lootfest/leveling progression combined with a complex and rewarding combat system with wide open build options. Sekiro looks fun to play but from what I've read about it, progression and builds aren't really a thing in it, and instead you just get really good with the setup they give you.

Open world games are garbage, all of them, bonus points if even more time is wasted in the game in menus ("crafting" lol) than it is exploring a big boring area that looks kind of pretty I guess with some dumb quest on the other side of the map.

I blame Ocarina of Time, that game was the progenitor of big empty bullshit.

I watch DMC3's cut scenes again. I think I like it better than 5, it does absurdity humor better. Also the Lady voice actoring in 3 is really good, that's what hold the dumb story together.

5 is good, but Capcom does the "look we can make digital characters look like real people" thing too much and it's distracting. I don't want to keep thinking "did they pay Adam Driver/James Franco" during cut scenes.
