Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Blahh-ti vidya imho.

I prefer Zullie cause of their very short videos and also exposing the world and connecting the dots. It’s all very convincing.

Eddy no, please turn your hair to the front or put it backwards. How much longer can Killmonger reign over men's hair styles like this?

Between the anime grunts, this is the main thing that stuck out to me.

Zullie the Witch also made those cool False Depth dungeons in Bloodborne so they've at least done something useful as well.

Does Zullie still not speak at all and just use text? I was never a fan of that. Otherwise vids are good

I played Elden Ring not knowing anything or having any kind of emotional connection to anything that was happening. I only did things because a pretty lady asked me to and gave me a great goathorse to sweeten the deal. Then another pretty lady married me and wanted to take me into space or somesuch. I dunno. I didn't even know what the Lands Between was supposed to be or why I should care what happens to it.

In Elden Ring I just accepted that I was a random dickhead that had accidentally entered some Running Man style competition to be the Elden Lord, and the rules were that I have to kill all the royal families in the world to win. So win I did.

IMO the best way to interact with Souls lore is to run on vibes. Read things, talk to NPCs, draw your own conclusions, but also don't be literal about it. The background info is there to give a specific feeling to the world, to create the vibe, more than anything. That's also why the lore is sometimes contradictory (that, and because real mythology contains contradictions in different tellings, too).

I don't have any problem with VaatiVidya or any other lore channel, though. It's also fun to try to put the puzzle pieces together and imagine what pieces might fill the gaps.

That’s how I play them, I essentially make up my own story. It’s all hazy and I wouldn’t be able to tell it to anyone but in my head it works and creates a vibe.

you could play these games without reading a single item description and still learn a lot just by paying attention to recurring visual motifs, environmental details, and character designs

When I first completed the game I had no idea who Radagon was and what was his connection to Marika but it was still cool as hell hearing ER theme song. Vibes.

Zullie is probably not a sexy cartoon witch in real life so I'm sure at this point is (rightfully) cautious about leaking any details of their real self because there is absolutely a small army of chuds ready to go nuclear when they learn their soul hacking waifu is not her persona. The internet loving sucks, man.

I Bravely tried the stellar blade demo and it is too creepy for me to enjoy. The comment someone made in here about the dev leaning over your shoulder breathing heavy and saying "pretty hot huh" was spot on. You're introduced to your character by seeing them bust out of an escape pod nearly nude and glistening with oil. Weird, imo!

The creepy part to me is the people making the game spending extra time to make a character to be ogled. I'd like games to move beyond that, personally. But if you think boobs are gross that's fine too

Yeah, I played the demo and the extra boss fight. Stellar Blade is just fetish wank bait. It's Nier Automata but worse. At least Yoko Taro mixes his fetishes in with some other good ideas, this is just Creepy: The Game.

Looking forward to the perverts and I'm So Apathetic On the Internet types defending it for another month before it comes out though. That'll be fun.

Yeah my dog woke me up at 5 so we ate, walked, and sat down to play FF before I had to get ready for work. This game is hard to play in 1-hr chunks only a few times a week.

I'm only just now in Junon, lol.

EDIT: I spent what could be considered a good friday using my pee ess five as a media machine to watch Two Towers and Return of the King and buying cross-buy games for Vita which was great except for one (Ys Origin) that didn't actually mean that it was cross buy for the Vita but was said to be on psdeals.net. Gonna have to check the fine print going forward.

The thing idg about stellar blade is that they could have put in as many boobs as they want but they only gave her 2, like why not just give her 8 boobs it would increase the value proposition a lot. Just rows of boob s

Eh, this is the company who said they were taking a stand against "toxic feminism" when asked about why they fired women who complained against sexual harassment in the workplace. I think we can raise an eyebrow at how they depict women in their games. The game goes to a bit of an extreme, so the reactions are more extreme. 2B/Tifa etc. didn't rile people up this much.

Wait did they actually say this? I wish developers would have the good sense to at least let me try the game a little before canceling themselves!

Bayonetta, despite the basic premise being "A dominatrix witch who strips to attack", is somehow less horny than Stellar Blade. (And, TBH, DMCV)
