I have been playing Bloodborne. Bloodborne is good. It is the first (non-Sekiro) Souls game where I have successfully learned to parry, and all the stage and monster design is as I would hope. I genuinely don't understand From's approach to quest design, though. A boss dies, drops a cool item... and apparently I have missed out on a side quest because I immediately touched that item, instead of going to the other end of the world for no reason. I guess that's what NG+ with a guide is for.

I absolutely hate that kind of itemization and its sheer existence, perhaps even more than just straight-up gambling, just stands as a stark reminder of the frailty of the human brain, the meaninglessness of most games, and inserts the dark thought in the corner of my mind that every minute i spend playing games I am becoming a lesser and lesser person

Humidifiers are great, but they require a lot of upkeep to stop from getting nasty. My kingdom for a self cleaning humidifier!

the algorithm recommended me the geoguessr world finals and they're a loving blast to watch, both because of how impressive everyone's knowledge is and because of the very cute format they have (both players have a health bar that gets reduced based on the round multiplier and distance-based point differences)

Reading all the GOTY lists in the main thread made me realize that a full Assassin's Creed game came out last year and barely registered for anyone.... that really was a franchise and game style that just completely run into the ground, huh

But yeah assassin's creed is kinda dead atm

I like that one commentator is much better than the other, and that the rounds are quick and snappy. But the panel is an instant skip.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Reading all the GOTY lists in the main thread made me realize that a full Assassin's Creed game came out last year and barely registered for anyone.... that really was a franchise and game style that just completely run into the ground, huh It wasn't really a 'full' ac game, it was a purposefully stripped down version that's shorter and a lot more like the original games, with a focus on stealth and fun tools and systems to figure out the best way to proceed. Also no more dumb rpg mechanics and much less straight up combat focus like origin and odyssey. I absolutely hated odyssey, worst ac game by far. It was really good, honestly. Probably my favorite ever, although I barely remember playing one and two, maybe those were better. Story was bad but that's not why those games were ever fun, they really should lean more into systems and immersive sim style stuff, and away from insane bloat and grind, feels like mirage was definitely a step in the right direction. Although knowing ubisoft they'll probably manage to take the exact wrong lesson somehow.

I just tried the demo for the new Prince of Persia (a Ubisoft Original), and it's good?! Fluid responsive controls, good artstyle and doesn't seem bogged down by GaaS garbage. Would have been a really solid 20 dollar purchase. Unfortunately they're charging full price? Oh well, probably goes on sale in a couple of months.

The next AC game is in Edo period Japan which seems like a game they should have made 10 years ago or at least before Ghost of Tsushima came out but nevermind

As usual for a fromsoft game, Skill increases parry damage. If you're real good with them, it's a major advantage on some bosses.

I guess that's what NG+ with a guide is for. The timing windows on most quests are generous. It's just that the game refuses to explain any of it's quests (pejorative). For instance, without any guidance, the most likely place a first time player is to find the most iconic and beloved character of the game is after she's had a mental break and become an optional boss, which is the bad ending of her quest line.

It's hard not to be impressed by this! the format actually makes it really exciting, too, since it's possible to hold on for multiple rounds by a hair and come swinging back on a big modifier. i'll definitely watch it again this year if they decide to hold the tournament again

I tried out the Prince of Persia demo. On one hand, discovering it was apparently more Metroidvania/Hollow Knight-like was a neat surprise and gameplay felt good, an in game screenshot of places you can't go without upgrades was a nice idea.. And it was interesting they were at least going for a more Persian look that the sorta-Arabian Nights of the more famous trilogy. On the other hand both the UI and constant ads screamed Ubisoft so much it turned me off getting the game. Like jesus felt it was gonna pop a crafting menu and the constant ads to get the Deluxe edition with a map with secrets on a loving Metroidvanialike and the fact to boot up the game you have to try to connect to an UPlay account before it lets you skip it. gently caress off Ubisoft.
