If you don’t think the violence in The Last of Us isn’t explicit and intentional then you don’t understand the games IMO

It can be intentional and also not good.

Anyway, beat Ume-bozi in Nioh. That thing had too much health. I understand its gimmick, but with the amount of fire stuff I'm able to bring at that point in the game it was a huge pain.

They also made a ton of people think DLC was incoming because the message on the closed worlds was something like "sealed by odin's will" which sounds just arbitrary enough that it seemed like one day it could spontaneously disappear and let you in (after you installed a content update).

I had some issue with getting my PS4 to turn on for some reason just now. Has anyone else had any issue downloading update 6.70?

I remember getting to that room where you travel between worlds and it had like 10 worlds you wheel around not including the central hhub and thinking this game was going to be loving massive. What was the deal with that, why would they set your expectations like that .

Gotta set the look of the world on the first run. We're sadly beyond the point where people are fine with the world just completely changing in appearance from game to game. Gotta have consistency now. Can't be in someone's living room in from one person's camera view and swap to another and be in a junkyard and then back and now we're in the rainforest.

Recently completed Bloodborne and loved it. Haven't played any DS games but got Dark Souls 3 and the expansions for it. Any tips/suggestions for a newcomer to the franchise that loved Bloodborne? I understand one of the big differences is DS has shields and they're useful but is there anything else major? Does co-op work in a similar way or is it more solo-focused?

No issues here, but someone else a few posts up also had some trouble. Mebbe hold off on updating for the time being unless absolutely necessary.

I wish I had known about this, because man, I've been secretly looking forward to that game. Unless someone has an extra code or something kicking around, hopefully there's a lot of good footage that'll go up for it so I can get an idea about whether or not I'm actually gonna get it.

I think there was something that mentioned this floating around some months ago.

Probably the lamest angle they could take. Guess having the Avengers license means you can't just make a tight single player game Spider-Man like. Maybe they figured that MUA3 is the game you should play if you want to be The Captain America doing captain America stuff.

Can't be worse than Anthem.

If you've played Bloodborne you are good. They are extremely similar.

DS is a little more defensive than BB but you don't even have to use a shield if you don't want to. Most people seem to play with a shield on their backs so they can whip it out if they need it. other than some minor mechanics being different it'll all feel very familiar.

Going back to DS after BB is cool. You feel more like a regular schmuck going up against impossible odds, instead of being like, the Sickest Hunter ever. It had been so long since I played it that it felt satisfying to equip a greatshield and tank hits.

How far are you? Are you playing 1 for the first time? If you haven’t played Bloodborne, or DS3, play those next in that order. Also I’m replaying DS1 on Switch with a friend and realizing that I definitely prefer DS2, and it’s just because I played them in reverse order starting w Bloodborne and ending with Demon’s Souls, but they’re all great, I just got spoiled by the amount of weapon variety in 3 and 2, and while 1 is definitely more memorable and doesn’t have as much bloat, it still has a lot of stuff I thoroughly don’t enjoy, like Sen’s Fortress, and some other random areas. 3 is my favorite (Bloodborne is the best, but out of the Souls games), and I find it crazy people like the original more somehow. Demon’s Souls is loving dope and I need to see that remake at E3.

Yeah playing 1 for the first time. Not really that far at all, I've only killed the Taurus demon, butterfly, and gargoyles. I've played bloodborne and got fairly far in it but never beat it. Never felt like I was ever very good at bloodborne but I feel much more competent playing ds1

Play all Dark Souls games, Demon's Souls, and their DLCs. Each game iterates on the core formula slightly differently and each in interesting ways.

I started Sekiro recently and man the combat is great. All the different counters feel so good to pull off. It's pretty meh as a stealth game but I know this is relatively new territory for FromSoft (except that one Tenchu game) so I can give it a pass.

I played Champions for a bit when it came out and that was fun even though it was just a lovely mmo. Can't underestimate the superhero fun time. So yeah, if it has ok gameplay that captures being a superdude I will likely consider it, but for the time being I am 100% with you on rear end poo poo. I was expecting a Spider-Man style single player game rather than superhero Destiny/Division.

It might just be power selection rather than weapons or a limited number of weapons. Giving Thor three trees with unarmed Ragnarok style perpetual lightning storm, balanced Mjolnir style and Stormbreaker or something for big single target might make sense. I don't know though, yuo've got Avengers that are very much gear users and then Thor and Hulk who can just own things without it.

I'm interested to see what kind of poo poo sandwich is being served up basically.

Play DS3 with no shield, no armor, and a huge 2 handed sword. Fast roll forever.

I literally signed up yesterday, saw this post and checked my email and I got in, so I’d imagine that it wasn’t too limited. But thanks for reminding me! Someone posted a code like, maybe a page or so before the Death Stranding stuff happened that no one replied to but I couldnt find anywhere to attempt to redeem it so I just signed up, and yeh, I’m excited too. Co op Souls likes are my favorite type of multiplayer, and the fact that this is one that was developed by someone who worked on actual Souls games makes me much more optimistic.

It feels kinda floating and hits feel shallow and without weight. Parrying is really easy and basically one shots basic stuff instantly.

I don't get the blood codes, and the systems are... Kinda obtuse in a way that makes me feel like I wasted my time . I think I'm passing on this one, it's not what I wanted from it.

Chargen is fun at least, but I'm not sure they've done themselves a favor with the prologue being the showcase.
