That looks less sterile at least but I don’t have a PC anymore. Man, I sure need to buy a good laptop (not enough space for a proper computer) to do PC game stuff with.

I have never played any of the Tales games and only seen bits of the Zestiria X anime so I don't know what the gently caress this poll's talking about.

I never die in sekiro, by quitting out when I’m low on health and resurrections and clearly about to die. Why lose xp and money like a chump?

It's a civ style 4x from Amplitude, creators of Endless Legend and the Endless Space series. New World is shaping up to be one of the biggest launches of the year.

If I die in Sekiro I die in real life. It's the best motivator.

The most demoralizing part of any of the souls games is in ds2, where dying without recuperating your previous bloodstain was a permanent blemish on your character, because those souls could no longer be spent and yet were still recorded on your character sheet. Die enough times without getting your souls back and the game could potentially put you in a higher PvP bracket, even if your character’s strength didn’t improve to compensate !!

Imho the most demoralizing death across the five Soulsborne games was the Demon Prince because you have to wade through the lame twin minibosses with way too much HP every time and then get wasted by the real fight. Even Soul Of Cinder is cool/varied at least.

CyberPingu posted:The first phase of demon princes doesn't take too long tbh. I guess it depends on your build, I got the idea that going ham with sword(s) and a strength/dex/quality build wouldn’t take all that long but I was running a pyromancer and it took long enough to make me think the twin demons were the real fight which made me sloppy on the umpteen runs I did to get to the second phase. Also, I have to admit I summoned for the Friede fight, cause I like *being* summoned to learn a new boss safely and figured I should do the same for someone else sometime even if i was gonna get wrecked my first time and oops, turns out they kinda just handled everything pretty well…

I think that's because a fire based boss is almost immune to fire damage.

The talk about witches just reminds me about how when my fiancee was in high school, the school put on a production of The Wiz except there weren't any black people involved so it was an all white production of The Wiz

The wiki says they’re weak to dark tho, and I am pretty loving stupid but not quite stupid enough to use fire weapons/magic on fire demons, I meant more that my damage felt subpar cause using a dark battle axe and Dark Orb wasn’t really cutting it, or at least felt slow enough to be tedious.

There's a kickstarter for a pen & paper rpg thing called animal adventures and there are a couple of sassy magic animals there. Disclaimer: not all of the following are sassy, sassiness may vary from animal to animal, gonna post them anyway though. Tinkermage Scottish Fold (official name Ada Lovemice and her robot Charles Baggage) https://v.kickstarter.com/162800792...9_h264_high.mp4 Wizard Oriental Shorthair  Sorcerer Fox  And if druids count as magical: Druid Koala  Druid Aussie  Druid Lykoi  Also, artwork and miniature for completely original class "Watcher"

wuggles posted:To continue this from the last thread, I think Hades is THE game to make you cool with dying. It’s part of the story, and every time you do you get some sort of meaningful progression out of it. Dark Souls, too. When I was playing DS2 at a good clip (pre-Smelter Demon) it finally clicked that I should be going on suicide runs for items and to explore, because unless you’re carrying 100k souls around or you’ve gone very far since your last bonfire, dying in that game is absolutely meaningless. i never had this problem in Dark Souls or Sekiro, but for some reason it's really bad for me in Path of Exile and yes, Hades the reason i brought it up was cause ive been playing PoE this week and trying out a new build, after a bunch of balance changes and stuff, so me dying to stuff i "should" be able to handle easily is loving with me. my brain thinks i shouldn't be dying in a t2 map so i get frustrated, even though its not really a big deal. i can keep trying. Hades though... i don't know what it is about that game. maybe its the fact that you have to start over from the beginning with each death, and see the same 4 areas over and over again with little variation, which makes the game actually seem very short--i hate repetition with little progress. maybe its the fact that healing is hard to come by, so any mistake early on in the run hurts all that much more and hangs over me the whole rest of the way. maybe it's the fact that the game *knows* you died, because the npcs comment on it, and things change, and i dont get to pretend it didn't happen. then there's the fact that even with a ton of mirror upgrades and god mode turned on i still couldn't reliably get to hades, much less beat him. and then i hear you have to beat him a whole bunch of times to get the true ending or whatever? that just puts a giant hill in front of me that i don't want to climb.

Prince of Persia 08 was a good game and it's a shame it got dragged for how it didn't punish players enough for dying
