This is insanely stupid and I hope this guy gets suspended or put on probation. I hope he has to stand in front of his licensing board and attempt to explain just what his thought process was, too. Don’t try to win a console fight by revoking a patient’s agency or choice toward preserving their own privacy. Honestly, even if there was absolutely zero patient or PHI in the video, a video inside the hospital inside a patient care area without the hospital’s explicit permission is a no go. Seriously NOT a king.

The last game that gave me the biggest “that isn’t the ending???” Moment was loving Jet Set Gemini where you face the last boss and then it’s only half way through. However the catch was you were mostly retreading old levels with possibly some new areas.

Elden ring on the other hand just keeps on going. Just when I thought I had either been to or know of glimpses of all the areas to come, I find…an entirely new whole rear end area covered behind a totally ordinary hidden wall.

The value for money on this game is off the charts.

Pokémon Gold & Silver are complete games as big as Red & Blue, but when you beat them and “beat the game” you can take a boat to Kanto and literally replay the original 8 gyms in reverse order with most of the original Pokémon . It blew my fuckin mind as a 12 year old I could not believe it!

Yep

My mind blow moment with gold and silver was doubled because I was playing an import copy in Japanese from before the US release and just kinda crawling my way through it and I stumbled upon the Kanto postgame by accident and absolutely lost my god drat mind.

When I was young and hadn’t played any real RPGs I remember getting to Magus’ castle in Chrono Trigger and being like okay, here we go, final part of the game. I was incredulous when I realized the game was in fact not over after beating Magus.

It's the Battle Hammer and Brick Hammer if you'd like to look them up

You can just equip both hammers in each hand slot as long as you can carry the weight of both.

Yeah that blew my little 7 year old mind, but I then expected every Pokemon game after that to do the same and include the previous regions and I was incredibly let down when I beat the game and didn’t find any cool bonus content.

God drat Elden Ring is incredible. It feels like it’s never going to end, I’m like 50 hours into the game and it feels like I’ve only done half, or less, of the non optional bosses and there’s so much optional stuff I haven’t seen.

It wasn't even hard though. I had maximum boluses and just walked around grabbing everything, killed the boss and moved on.

I think it’s an indicator of how hosed up the narrative around From games is, that in, I dunno, 6-7 years of being aware of them and the narrative that they’re GIT GUD it’s only in the last few pages of this thread that I learned that they are RPGs with levels and stats that go up and you can do stuff like go somewhere else and get more powerful.

This entire time I have had in my head the Ninja Gaiden remake for XBox that I bought, got to the second or third boss, was not good enough to beat it, and was basically locked out of 90% of the content of a full price game I had bought. So every time I hear a game is like that I’m like “nope.” Control was like that for me as well. Thankfully I got it free from some promotion but I literally got to the first boss and couldn’t beat it and bounced off, before they put in the accessibility options. Since then I’ve gone back to it.

If they’re RPGs that is essentially an accessibility option, just one that requires some grinding. But it’s possible to progress, in ways that in a linear straight-up action game does not allow. But in 7 years I’ve never seen an article or discussion about the actual mechanics of these games, just talk about how hard they are and how that defines them.

gently caress, you all might actually have me interested in this now after having been able to very easily write it off.

I can't stress this enough:

The first boss in Elden Ring is incredibly easy if you're a god tier pro gamer using a pointy stick while naked.

It's incredibly difficult if you're a layman.

It's incredibly easy if you're a layman who leveled up to Death Incarnate, The Deity Eater.

It's an RPG. Go do a fetch quest and come back and slaughter the level 20 boss when you're at 40.

FROM games are hard. Until they're not.

Like it's no different from a Borderlands game where you have a level 3 gun and wander into an area with level 40 bandits. You're not supposed to be there. Come back when you have the laser bazooka.

I thought I messed up Renni's questline since I started it quite late but it looks like the ER can compensate for doing things out of order and things will be fine.

I was using a 1hander with a shield most of the game then I grabbed the pizza cutter now i'm basically Bloodborne-ing the rest of the way.
