She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Whatever you just said, imagine that was what I meant.

I generally play Skill builds so one of my favorite runes was the one that gave you extra bullets when you visceral attack someone. Skill scales your visceral attacks so I just parry everything and never run out of bullets, it rules

if you're tilting at a boss enough to run out of vials then you'd almost certainly benefit from taking a break anyway but everybody chafes at being forced to do so

and then after the break you have to grind blood vials before trying the boss again!

hypothetical PC Bloodborne mods will let you

- start with any weapon
- start with all chalice stuff unlocked
- infinite stash of vials
- run at 1080/60

and it will be glorious

If losing is considered to have momentum surely that would lead to accelerated losing. Losing even faster.

Yakuza 8 will be set several years after Like a Dragon and will be another Ichiban Kasuga story. More Judgement and non-Yakuza games are also in the works.

Looper posted:

what if you don't have a choice...

I'm saying specifically when you have a choice, you are playing a character of your choosing who theoretically (or for many people at least) represents in some way who you are. Although I guess it depends on if you are thinking of the character as yourself or you 'roleplaying' a character?

hatty posted:

This thinking is how you get less black protagonists

That's certainly not my intention. I just have a fictional black driver that I play in all my racing games and he always gets the same name and number. Originally I did it because I liked the idea of a black American competing in F1 or supercross, which are heavily white-dominated sports. I thought that would be cool. Then it kind of bled over a bit and now I often use black avatars even in non-racing games.

But then I started thinking about how maybe that's weird? I don't know. I'm probably overthinking it

NANI?

Blood vials punish new players but end up trivial to never ever run out after the first couple of areas, that's why they suck.

I've been trying to play more Fuga: Melodies of steel, but the emotional weight of that game is really heavy (for me)


I can do maybe two or three, one-hour sessions in a week.

I was considering doing a lets-play, but that could take forever at this rate.

That's why the blood vials are bad! They do nothing except make the game more tedious for the people who already have trouble with it.

it was good yeah

the lifegems were maybe a bit dumb though since you had basically infinite healing after the very start because of them

i liked the lifegems because they reduced deaths in the uninteresting ways around attrition (especially since ds2 has a lot of group fights where you can just get clipped pretty easily) but do little to save you from the fun ways of dying: getting rapidly owned by lots of enemies, loving up in quick succession, traps, rolling off cliffs. they also open up the option to play defensive/footsies with bosses to slow roll your hp back, to varying degrees of usefulness depending on the boss.
