So I just finished the story in MH Rise I think and it was such a non-ending but also very good because of just how happy every character is! I love this game and I'm happy I could finally find a MonHun game I can seriously get into! :D

I've been thinking about this for a long time and I think chilli is the Dark Souls of food. No wait, here me out. It's got a super high difficulty level, chefs are now trying to put it in everything and if you fail you lose all your progress and have to start over. It totally fits

Chili is in no way, shape, or form the Dark Souls of anything, creating or consuming.

just to be clear, which ending are we talking about, the village ending and the credits are like, a third the way through the game currently if you mean that one

Filling out the entire bingo card is the dark souls of games chat thread posting. Some of the squares seem really difficult at first (how am I supposed to eulogise the vita? I never had one!) and certain squares may come easier to some but more difficult for others, but with careful thought and effort and attention applied these challenges can be overcome. Even if you're stuck on a certain square, taking a break from it may result in having a flash of inspiration later when you're not expecting it. And most importantly, there is a strong and thriving community spirit and your fellow posters will always offer their aid should you need it. Thank you and praise the sun

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.

Sorry, but it's the sequel of Dark Souls, not the Dark Soul of sequels. It only works in one direction.

The Dark Souls of Dark Souls Sequels would need to be a game that is definitely challenging but also something that is hyped up as super challenging, almost unapproachable, when really it's just challenging and expects the player to learn from the game and adapt.

In this sense, I would argue that Bloodborne is the Dark Souls of sequels because while it is not a sequel to Dark Souls, it is very much a souls-style game made by the same developers and presented as an alternate take on the formula. Bloodborne specifically is designed to force players who are veterans of Dark Souls games to relearn the fighting system so that they are more aggressive, leaving the player without much in the way of sword & board combat and instead focusing on lots of dodging, aggressive switch-weapon combos, and support fire from your firearm.

Bloodborne is the Dark Souls of Dark Souls sequels.

Yeah I meant the village ending haha. I assumed there will be more in the hub, but wasn't sure how much there would be! Really happy if I get to see more silly interactions with the people of this village!

Also Magnamalo did not gently caress around. I think I had carted once in any of the hunts leading up to him but he got me twice!

Apparently the only endemic poke is kangaskhan, so not very. I debated picking this paper for my statistics journal club next week, but apart from being about kangaskhan, it's actually not very interesting.

Had a run through of Binding of Isaac and I do still really love this game. With people recommending Enter the Gungeon though I do feel like I should give that game a fair shot sometime

I tried it, but it just didn't click with me the way Isaac did. Honestly, I think a large part of it is that the art style really turned me off.

I should go look at the Diamond/Pearl remake art again to temper my expectations back down to "it's cool, but don't get carried away" (and also laugh a lot)

It's just a remaster, I think. They spiffed it up a bit for the PC release.

Bit more than that, for us in the west.

This Nier version will only have Brother Nier, while the only one we got in the west back then was Dad Nier.

Pokemon Snap is a game I've always wanted to play but never had the opportunity to. I do lots of real-life animal photography already, a game that lets me photograph more and stranger animals is right up my alley.

So is the Nier game just the Young Nier version of the first one that was previously Japan exclusive or is it something new?

Also when is the new Pokémon Snap coming out again?

No, it's just the Young Nier version of the original near, with some remastering.

Speaking of games I'm not buying when they come out (NieR), let's see how Wugglesquest is going!

:siren: WUGGLES BACKLOG ADVENTURE APRIL UPDATE :siren:

You'd have to be a fool...haha...to agree to something like this!



Thanks to some success with Wattam and Gato Roboto I was able to pump my numbers up in April March. The council* ruled that Fire Emblem 1 doesn't count as a purchase since it was free with Nintendo gold coins, but I did buy MonHun this month. I'll buy Pokemon Snap as well, but that'll be it for a while as I clear off some of these backlog games.

I started back up with Murder By Numbers, and its second case is way more interesting than its first. By now, the rapport between Scout and Honor has developed, and they're really fun to have together. I'd still like more picross in the picross:Ace Attorney mixture, but it's better than Case 1.

I'm about halfway through Gravity Rush Remastered. I would like to say I'll knock it out over our Spring Break that starts tomorrow, but...Monster Hunter.

Finally, having a week off is making me think about playing a "big game." I've said Dark Souls 2, but I'm actually thinking about Persona 5 Royal since I'm already halfway through it. I played up to Futaba and then shelved it when 13 Sentinels came out last year.

Anyway, here's the spreadsheet:
