I felt really bad for Arthur Morgan in RDR2. Especially that scene with the nun.

Super Robot Wars games have done that for me lots of times. Literally saving the galaxy with the power of love and friendship isn't the most innovative way to jerk my tears but it works.

Also the emotional response you get in a FROM game from beating any particular boss that’s been pantsing you is unmatched. Like when you first beat Dead Monkey, and then you have to fight double giant monkey it seems literally impossible at first, but then when you get it... good lord there is nothing like that.

The 15th attempt at Genichiro where you finally win complete with a lightning reversal  Very similar boss to Gascoigne for me. Love when From throws you at a boss and you can almost hear a voice screaming "FIGHT, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT".

Volte posted:The game is full of incongruous connections. The easiest example is Majula to Heide's Tower, which you can see in the far distance across the water and then walk to in about 10 seconds by going down a hallway. For all that people dunk on that Iron Keep transition, the whole game is structured like that, which I think makes sense with the fractured dreaminess of the story. I definitely think it's intentional for better or worse. FROM actually confirmed that schedule crunch was a big part of why the world in DS2 ended up that way, so they just leaned into it and made up explanations IG for it to excuse the cutting corners.

I don't really care but I get why others would, because the levels in the other souls games were so well put together that you can actually see places you'll visit late game in the distance early on, so for people who are attentive to details like that (which is encouraged by the way the designers hide lore everywhere) it can be immersion breaking if it feels like the landscape isn't connected logically

Bloodborne in particular does an awesome job of the world feeling connected with all the views and vistas being different perspectives of the same landscape. Clock towers and bell towers and tall trees and ships masts in the background or the skyboxes help you feel like your always moving through a real place.

Adding Aldia in Scholar of the First Sin while also retranslating some badly done lines was both a blessing and a curse; it made the central themes more obvious, but also makes it look a lot like they were just retconning them in instead of being there the whole time.

Volte posted:I don't doubt that (I think you'd be hard pressed to find a game where certain design elements weren't influenced by time pressure), but they could have done the same transition as Sen's Fortress to Anor Londo or any number of other spatially disconnected transitions that don't involve bizarre world layouts. The fact that they chose this peculiar abstract way of connecting disparate areas over other potentially simpler and less jarring options still feels intentional and thematically appropriate within that scope. I mean, they straight up said otherwise, was my point. It took them literal years to design DS1's Onion world because they always felt the Archstones in Demon's weren't as satisfying as a world that was all connected. A completely separate team started working on 2 and only had under three years to make it while the bulk of the team from 1 basically shifted over to Bloodborne and DS3, which is why both of those games have a similar connected world that makes sense while DS2 is the lonesome game where stuff is thrown together. You can keep rationalizing it as an intentional design choice, but it was essentially a retcon to explain away rushed world design. It's also why DS2 is a wheel with spokes vs anything approaching a vertical or central "world" because it was easier to just have to go on some linear path and teleport back rather than design the world to wrap back on itself like any of their other major games.

DS3 is a very linear game that makes increasingly less sense as you go, intentionally, because space and time are breaking down once and for all. By the end the world is folding on itself.

Oooh new difficulty level! I'll give it a try. Conceptually I like the idea of a difficulty where you can die in 1-2 hits. The only problem is the game tends to throw big groups of enemies at you simultaneously so you often have a guy side-swipe you while you're dealing with someone else. So that difficulty would probably involve a lot of using ranged abilities to thin out groups before trying to get into melee combat.

By the end the world is folding on itself. Each of the worlds of Dark Souls are pretty different in philosophy. Like this post describes DS3 is not built the way DS1 is because that's how the world is affected. The core difference between this and 2 is that 2 is them having to deal with the hand they've been dealt. It feels unfair to call the ways that DS2 works its world design into its themes an accident, more that they had some good ideas for make this work without just shoehorning in gargoyle demons at every weird transition.

Shuhei Yoshida made an appearance in Devolver Digital's video conference a couple weeks ago, so it seems that Fall Guys debuting for free on Plus is a result of his new efforts leading the Sony Indies Initiative. Which is an exciting indicator for future things to come!
