Death Stranding 2 is a PS5 exclusive

Ohhhhh son of a bitch

I think it took like a year for DS1 to come to PC after initial release but I had a PS4 back then so I could play at launch

Maybe they'll release a PS5 slim for a reduced price eventually or something but there's no Bloodborne permalocked GottaHaveIt to make me actually buy one this time

Demon's Souls doesn't really have a proper final boss, though most people will probably do false Allant last and he's a decent boss. There's is technically a final boss but it's just the twisted broken real Allant who barely puts up a fight as you kill him, I guess you could say that's bad but he's not really supposed to be anything but a sad echo you put down.

Oh this reminds me I should play Demon's Souls, I've never gotten around to it and I own a PS5 so why not

I deleted Marvel's the Avengers to make room (100 GB lol)... I had to admit to myself I would never finish the story mode nor the DLC content. I failed to stop Ulysses Klaue from storming the vibranium mound...

Ending of Arcane is some amazing telly, can have highly recommend sticking about for it

I have joked about starting to watch Arcane and learning the song doesn't go "every single person is my enemy," but I was flabbergasted to learn the tv theme isn't even the version with the rapping

Multiplayer had a fun gimmick where you could copy the loadout of the last person to kill you, so even if you haven't grinded your way to unlocking anything (like a normal human), you could use a bunch of fun stuff and get some payback

In the second to last dungeon of Persona 4 Golden and I’ve been on a boss fight for almost an hour.

And I’m on easy mode.

So I’m fighting my girl “Marie”. She reflects all damage except Almighty. Problem? Only Naoto has them. And she also has the least amount of SP on my team and I’m out of SP items. And “Marie” has a ton of health. So I’m literally having everyone guard except Naoto, until she runs out of SP, and then having her guard until she builds it back up to use her Almighty skills again. It’s a lot of hitting A for ten minutes until she runs out of SP, then changing her tactics to “conserve SP” for like 10 minutes and rinse/repeat.

And after an hour she still has some health yet so I finally had to put my Xbox into sleep mode so I could go to bed.

It’s actually hilarious and great.

(Slight hint in spoilers, not story ones but spoiling it since you're having fun) You're meant to use Break skills to remove her Repel and make her neutral to an element. The dungeon even has item drops that work like those skills I think. Not that you're being dumb because I'm sure it's the only fight in the entire game where those abilities are useful.

I've been replaying Death Stranding lately and really feeling the fun little flourishes Kojima & The Gang put into their games. Like how when you escape an enemy zone your little radar turns into a thumbs up, the baby clapping inside its pod when you go on a fun zipline or being able to skateboard down hills on your cargo carrier.

ps Die Hardman is extremely good

This is their third monster hunter game, and the other two already did a lot of stuff better than classic Monster Hunters. I'm not surprised if it would be pretty good.

Being a dreadnought was badass. The MP balance was also really good because the weapon unlocks were more sidegrades and with the right perk loadout you could make the bolter, or chainsword if you were a raptor, just as good as the unlock weapons

I continue to fall in love with League of legends

There is a tree man called Ivern. He makes friends with the jungle creeps. He is my new bae.

Also spamming Caitlyn a lot because I autofill and always get ADC

Game is cool and has a lot of novelty for me, also nowhere near as toxic as dota so far

ivern's such a wonderfully goofy character, and caitlyn's a consistently good ADC pick thanks to a combination of her range and safety. i'd probably put her as the best Baby's First ADC in the game nowadays

they've done a good job at cracking down on overall toxicity via a whole host of systems, so the only real problem nowadays, aside from the occasional mouthy rear end in a top hat, is people trying to do poo poo like AFK in fountain if their team won't surrender, although they've been fine tuning their machine learning to detect stuff like that too. it's heaps better than, say, OW2, at the least

He owns, just the concept of making friends with jungle creeps rules.

Caitlyn just feels obvious to a new player in a way most other ADCs don't. I find it easier to win games on Miss Fortune though.

Coming from Dota, LoL does feel way less toxic but then I have muted all chat and there is no voice comms plus I'll be playing with low level/new accounts so it's not a fair comparison

I mean, it depends on the game, but the Monster Hunter stuff I absolutely 100% do not care about in any capacity. I actually liked the haikus and didn't skip those, but the main 'story' stuff is awful.
