Thank you if you came and watched me stumble and succeed through some more Dark Souls 2. I had a super wicked time and made so much progress I almost cannot believe it. From shrine of Amana to the point where I am apparently to defeat the final boss. However we are not doing that but going to attempt the dlc from this point on :)

I got invaded a bunch and one invader used a lag cheat to make every hit not regsister unless they were doing the hitting but luckily I died next to a bonfire.

I went into the memories of a tree. I beat a tough old knight. A baffling frog. I finished a sub quest of an npc I very nearly aggroed on my first meeting. I acesticed a bonfire to make sure I could do that quest as well. I visited the London museum and was attacked by the main exhibit.

It was a wonderful adventure and I enjoy it more thanks to your company :3:

It was super entertaining! As much as I love replaying the souls games, you can only really experience them blind once, and that's the best run you'll get. I've played all the soulsbornes a dozen times now, but getting to watch you puzzle through the things i've done a dozen times is really satisfying. Vicariously experiencing it fresh all over again :) Def wanna check out your future streams.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Gotta admit, that's pretty funny on its own merit. They actually made that cardboard cutout life-sized. Well, undeath-sized.

NG2: I'm very near the end of the game now and it is not messing around. Room after room of the most bullshit enemies which require super aggressive play and/or a load of cheesing. I'm at the last save point now so all being good I'll be beating this game in my next play session :pray:

got the first credits for the village in mh rise, which im assuming is the end of low rank, no one has told me I'm in high rank yet and these quests don't look very HR but idk there were credits

its a very funny game, the polar opposite of world to the point that its almost a parody. the stakes in the story are probably the lowest theyve ever been in a monster hunter but they still have the fully voiced and animated cutscenes from world in there so its mostly just incredibly detailed videos of people telling you that you're hunting the monsters real good. last scene before the credits the village chief bestows upon you a giant ceremonial sword that hadn't been a thing up to this point but in any other game would be filled with Meaning. then you talk to the guild lady and she's like "what happens next? uh I don't think anything in particular will happen, its just a big sword. chief said he's been looking to get rid of it for awhile"

maybe the story will take a turn in HR but I kind of hope it doesn't

I love these ridiculous rear end poems that every monster gets.

NG2: And that's it, the Archfiend is dead! All in all this game was an absolute romp from start to finish. I loved the combat, it was super complex but when it clicked it felt like flowing through water. I loved the environments from a smoke-shrouded Mt. Fuji to an Amazon bathed in blood and from the cold streets of Moscow to literal Hell and all expressed in some of the most beautiful graphics I've seen up to this point. Like, these environments would still hold up today I reckon. The story was a huge step up from the first game as well and Ryu is so loving cool. The only negative thing I'd say is that too many of the bosses are basically puzzles where if you don't do exactly what the game is asking you to do you're gonna get stomped. But the rest of the bosses were incredible, so much fun. People should talk about this game more.

Anyway I'll now be moving on to Metal Gear Solid 4. Here's what I know about this game:

1. Snake's old now
2. Raiden's cool now
3. NANOMACHINES

I'm really excited for this one!

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
I could have sworn there was a find games you forgot about thread, but I can't find that either lol

Can anybody help me identify this game from these random loving bits and pieces?

- It came out in the early 2000s
- It was top down, but still 3D, so like Neverwinter Nights style or something
- It was set in a dystopian future/society
- The male protagonist had like...really short blond hair and round sunglasses that were orange maybe? Pretty sure his face was on the cover of the game or marketing materials.
- The game was themed around psychic abilities and combat
- There was definitely a set piece in which you are held captive in some Running Man-esque game show where the contestants answer questions and die if they get them wrong on broadcast.
- It is not a well-known or remembered game

I feel like the game title had something to do with Inferno/Infernal maybe? Certainly there was some pyrokinetic based powers. Maybe it just began with the letter I? Google is singularly unhelpful.

Description doesn't mean anything to me, although "dude with orange glasses" sounds a bit like the protagonist of that ancient Shadowrun game.

The only version not on the Xbox is Sigma 2 and it’s wildly different with added set piece boss fights like the Statue of Liberty and about a third of the amount of enemies overall. They also removed the blood which is baffling and added chapters where your forced to play as different characters which aren’t nearly as fun as Ryu. I found it less impactful overall.

They also announced recently that the original Ninja Gaiden 2 project files have been lost, so the upcoming rerelease is going to be based on Sigma because that's the only way it could happen at all. Oh well

Tip for MGS1, I found that turning off the upscaling feature in the PS3 display options made PS1 & PS2 games look dramatically better on my TV.
