The main point is not to worry about getting through FFXIV quickly! You can't even if you wanted to.

the wind is pushing me



into this cutscene when i was actually trying to fight a griffin.

anyway long story short since my last DD post the game kindly had saved right after i picked up the book. i went and watched a ton of videos about the different vocations and got a better idea of how this game is supposed to work (just overlevel as much as you can, the scaling is harsh early on) and after switching to Strider and farming up more levels i'm having a much better time and actually look forward to seeing the rest of this game.

still hate bandits though. they wouldn't stop spawning on me when i was trying to fight a cyclops. like guys! i'm busy here! gimme a break!

Finished an Ultraviolence run of Doom Eternal. I think playing Doom 2016 immediately before really cemented my love of Eternal; it just does everything the first did but honed to a sharp edge.

The level design sucks tho :(

The part I loved about doom 2016 was all the old school secret finding and mazey maps and exploration and key finding.

and eternal is just like... a wiggly line with combat encounters and I was bummed.

They did the same thing in the transition from the new wolfenstein to the new wolfenstein 2 as well. lemme sneak around and find things and then maybe later i'll shoot something i'll get around to it probably

I finished MGS3 on Friday evening and my last two gaming sessions have been in the wonderful world of Control.

I gotta say this slightly 70s creepy aesthetic is punctuated by a seriously intriguing world and great movement/combat. I am completely immersed in this mysterious world and I just want to absorb as much info about everything that I can. I dig it so much. I got the golden suit too so I am bumbling about the game looking very dapper :D

Stuff I've played this year that's going to be on my GOTY list:

Sifu (strong contender for my #1)
NORCO
Citizen Sleeper
Kirby and the Forgotten Land
TMNT Shredder's Revenge
Probably Triangle Strategy if I can get the time I need to sit down and play the drat thing more.

Hoping to spend some time tomorrow checking out Not For Broadcast which I've heard good things about.

Seriously. It just occupied every free moment of my life, and if I had free time and wasn't playing it, it was because I'd hauled my friends around to play it so they could also get addicted and we'd waste awayHAVE A GREAT OL' TIME together!

the existence of a nipple is not shameful, perhaps you need to take a look at your own internal biases as to why you think simply saying "nipple" is shaming.

Sekiro is rad but coming off of Elden Ring makes it kinda suck when you get to a choice between a crappy boss (Flaming Bull) and a good but kinda hard boss (Lady Butterfly), because Elden Ring is the game where you can Just Hit The Bricks and go to like, a half dozen places when you’re getting your rear end kicked. I kinda wanna play another Souls game to cool off but I’m pretty sure it’ll gently caress up my Sekiro playthrough because its controls are so weird.

I’m not sure why they felt the need to have Dragonrot in Sekiro, but it sure feels like a little gently caress you to have a mechanic that apparently staggers side quest progression tied to doing the normal Soulsborne thing of trying and trying to beat a boss.

Also Lady Butterfly is a coolass boss fight, not sure where the “illusions” are supposed to be though.

Edit: never mind lol, I guess the game just decide to lie to me, idk why I’m surprised with the Guardian Ape being as infamous as he is

The Dragonrot system was originally far nastier than it is in the final game. I think there’s one NPC who can actually die from it in the real game grandma who gives you the bell but they intended it to be able to kill a lot more of the cast. It got cut because it was essentially too mean and didn’t ultimately add much to the experience, but it gets to stay in some form for plot reasons.

Recently I found out that nearly everything in Tenchu is a sick as hell homage to a cool tv show that has been running in some form since the 70s :eyepop:

makes no sense to me since any stealth game ive played in the last decade or more had the option to let you play the entire thing like a run n gun maniac if you wanted to. then again i'd think the game be miserable and missing the point playing like that, but ya know doesnt stop my buddy from playing Prey like it's DOOM (and then hating it). so i guess it does make sense.

blazing bull is imo the weakest boss in the game and also a weird bottleneck because your options explode right after him

Oh in case people don't know the OG Tenchu crew worked on Shinobido for the PS2 which is Tenchu with better movement and a selectable mission based structure where three lords are vying for dominance over the region and you're trying to accomplish your own goal while dealing with their favor and disfavor. It is the best Tenchu game currently in existence. Shinobido 2 exists on the Vita but is kind of mid.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
I thought Ereban: Shadow Legacy looked like a neat stealth game in the Xbox showcase last week. Trailer dialogue is meh. But sure I'll become a shadow and then jump out of it and stab an evil robot, why not!
