i beat kraid. the framerate is still pretty bad but i think i can manage

30 fps bad, or worse? The game's locked to 30 fps if you don't change the settings in DSfix.

I was gonna give a serious answer, based on my own weird tactical realism hangups, especially "non-lethal" takedowns...


But then I remember the running bionic punch in MGSV. So yeah. That.

Speaking of hangups, hanging people up upside-down in the Arkham games is a pretty good one. :v:

as a con you have to listen to the yoshi chorus say "eat rear end in a top hat" or whatever on the level select screen.

I always heard it as 'be careful'

The real offender in YS is the Yoshi select song

Dark Souls 3 is a game that came out this year. It was pretty good but I played through it once, then never played it until the dlc came out. Then I played through the dlc with the same character and put it away again. The game doesn't make me want to do dozens of playthroughs like the first game did.

Dark Souls 3 status: not goty

I should play Hitman now that it's fully out, I remember really enjoying the fashion show even though i only played it once or twice (and never touched a hitman before that)

So many games to play though: Bloodborne, Mass Effect 3, Gravity Rush, Tyranny, World of Final Fantasy

Weirdly when I get home I don't seem to want to actually start any of them :geno:

Bloodborne is the best game in your post, if you have a PS4 you should be playing it. Bloodborne is ultra good, play the Bloodborne. Start playing Bloodborne already.

One thing I will say from experience is that if you do, playing DS1 after will be hard. Bloodborne's speed is crazy bananas fast in comparison. Not that it's better or worse, just that it's the same formula executed so differently that it'll feel real weird playing one after the other (no matter the order).

Yeah. Bloodborne is the fastest Souls game in terms of combat, while DS1 is the slowest. (Except for maybe Demon's Souls? Never played that one.)

Huh? As I recall, it staggers him for a good 5-10 seconds or so, certainly enough to go backstab him.

Pistol is extremely useful for parrying, not damage. Time it so the bullet hits while they're swinging at you, then go up and R1 them.

I preordered Pokemon on Amazon Prime, but it's like a bizarro preorder because I'm paying less money to get the game later than other people.

I'm just a pedantic nerd.

Make sure to do the quest "Lost and Found" sooner than later. It becomes unavailable very quickly and locks you out of some stuff later on.

Okay seriously I haven't played Pokemon Sun/Moon but I've played Black and Crystal and Sapphire and Red, and it's going to be the same ol' same ol': decently paced rpg with a lot of elements that's ultimately not too complex so even kids can play it, with cutesy tamagotchi-esque pet the pokemon add-ons. You'll swap out your team or not depending on if you find a cute pokemon, you'll grind them all up so they're leveled enough totake on the bosses (gyms), and so on and so forth.

Mostly correct but there's no gyms
