I know basically nothing except that a lot of people don't like it as much as the first one. DS1 is the only From game I've played and I got all the cheevos in that.

You can tell me which starting gift is best because I'm making my character now, and I'm open to any general non-spoilery tips :)

The BIG tip imo is that an early levelling goal should be raising your Adaptability, it increases your number of invincibility frames when dodging and iirc speeds up estrus-drinking speed, imo decent Adaptability is required to make the game feel Good

Yeah, that's probably it.

But given the whole defying fate thing, might hold out for the dark horse candidate of REvolt/REvolution.

to be more specific: there's a secondary stat called Agility (AGL) that increases based off of Adaptability and Attunement, and AGL determines your total iframes when rolling. if you want the dark souls 1 midroll, you'll need at least 96 agility, while fast roll requires at least 105

i'd definitely recommend at least getting to 96 at a minimum, which thankfully doesn't require too many stat points sacrificed to the adaptability gods

they have omitted remasters from the wall before, 2023 was like that, they included RE4 Remake but not the basic "port in higher resolution" remasters

not sure why P3 Reload isn't included though since it is a full fledged remake but w/e

remake means too many different things
is it a new game with new gameplay? or is it the old game in a spiffy new engine that looks better but nevertheless still plays mostly the same

Nice! let me know how you like it. The negative steam reviews seem to focus on the checkpoint save system being kinda lame, but that wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me

Yeah I think the way it was initially presented was an "Race as far as you can inside the zone before you die, then reset and do it again" deal rather than the mission based extraction driver the demo was.

I think it's conceptually cool as hell though, so I'll probably grab it eventually

Happy to see me?

If I didn't have so much in the backlog, I'd give this a whirl as I'm a big fan of Roadside Picnic and SkillUp says that this is one of the best games influenced by it.

Hell, I might just get in anyway and drop BG3 until next year when I feel like it - another Game of the Year that I'm just not that into.

It's really cool. It's basically STALKER, except you're in a car and making runs for materials. You're constantly on the lookout for things to dismantle, either for the crafting stuff or for the things you can stick to your car (getting inordinately excited finding a halfway decent bumper to replace the I-beam that I've bungie-corded onto the front of my car). I've only played a few runs but it has a great tempo of going from chill, unsettling vibes where you're driving/walking around while hearing something unpleasant buzz just beyond the treeline, to making mad dashes away from things with spotlights that are going to wreck you if they spot you.

I'm also a big fan of the the UI, and how incomprehensible it is to start.

Edit: I also much prefer the run-based gameplay, for what its worth. The feeling of building up this car, the worry of what you'll lose if you don't make it (and like many things in the game, this is adjustable), the mad dash for the end, works well.

Oh well looking forward to picking it up for $10 just before it eventually dies it's rightful death.

I hope it serves as an example over corporate overreach killing both a profitable game studio and franchise, but it won't.
Morons who forced GaaS into it will get their golden handshake and go gently caress something else up.
