Trip report pls

I have played through Chapter 1 of the Valkyrie Elysium demo in a little under 2 hours. I don't know if there's much more to do because I stopped there, but it looks like I can go back at do side quests in the first area at least. First thing to get out of the way is that this game got the Trials of Mana budget, not the FFXV budget, so adjust expectations accordingly. I'm not entirely sold on the hybrid cel-shade art style, and the colors looked a bit washed out on my screen although that might just be an HDR thing. The gameplay however is very fun. If you've played DMC or basically any 3-D Square RPG from the past seven years, then this is a simplified version of that. The levels are mostly linear monster arenas with some hidden areas, there's a combo meter, and you get a letter ranking at the end. The double jump, the hookshot, the aerial combos, the witch time, it's all here, it's a CAG folks. Overall I enjoyed it and will be looking forward to playing some more when I get back from work, maybe on Hard this time because Normal seemed quite easy. If you don't immediately love the 21-year old actress told to speak with an over-enunciated British accent energy of this game then why have you even read this far.

I don�t think Herzog would be that preachy. Bad Lieutenant is pretty much Nic Cage playing a GTA protagonist IRL.

Xenogears is an all-time classic but it's fair to say that it has a lot of problems, problems that have now existed for 25 years so they'd be impossible to address in any theoretical remake/remaster without upsetting a large contingent of people.

I beat Hades once and felt 100% done with it, same with Returnal (well twice but you get the idea). A lot of people seem to find roguelites with meta progression very addicting but they don't really satisfy my gamer instincts to perfect a certain build or gear loadout.

Every moment you play machine strike you�re robbing yourself of the rest of the game, which is great. They should�ve left it on the cutting room floor.

I eventually came to really enjoy Machine Strike, but the tutorials do not do a good job of explaining the correct strategy. Here is what you actually need to focus on: 1) Find what combination of the opponent's pieces will get you to 7 points without making them go down to 1 piece remaining, and 2) Intentionally sacrifice your own pieces to leave you with 1 supercharged monster at the end. This is because you and the opponent will always get 2 turns when you're down to 1 machine, and if that one piece has a ton of mobility and/or damage like a Stormbird, you can play hit and run forever and win. Conversely, you want to set up situations where your opponent has no chance to hit back, either through overcharging or divebombing their highest value piece right at the start. You never want to let them go down to 1 machine on a single turn, because then you can get wombo comboed for a million damage from their double attack + overcharge. I recommend the Stormbird/Ravager combo for Aloy's board. Great damage, mobility, and neither piece is worth 7 so you'll never lose outright from either one of them dying.

Prodeus definitely has a lot in common with Doom 2016's spawn-in monster arenas while you bunny hop around constantly switching around your limited stores of weapon ammo. The OG Doom is a lot more of a methodical dungeon crawler by comparison, in Prodeus there's almost no backtracking or key hunt time. It would be most accurate to say that it draws from a variety of sources both old and new.

I played through GMGOW on NG+ and the only thing I found difficult were the last couple Valkyries. It was kind of OP actually with the talisman that lets you reset cooldowns. 4x runic attacks with invul frames is usually enough to instaclear a room.

Goldeneye hasn't gotten an actual remake in the 25 years it has existed. There was that one completely different Bond game released by EA using the title GoldenEye in an attempt to cash in on the name, and the lackluster reimagining/reboot/whatever that came out for the Wii.

There's very little to remaster minus the facial animations and draw distance, everything else is essentially maxed out in the PC version.

As cool as Mecha Hunter would be, one of the cool things about MHW is its weapon variety. Even though I did used to main the Bow for a bit in MHW, four people all using the same kind of weapon/playstyle just doesn't feel right. You can have someone raining arrows on the monster, but you also need to have one person determinedly jabbing and poking and wearing them down with a sword and shield, someone else with a heavy weapon repeatedly trying to land their big swing attack on a weak point for 500 damage, and someone else with either a polearm or a ten-foot katana making big flashy sweeping attacks somewhere in the monster's direction. It's, uh, tactical.

I think in a theoretical co-op setting they would break up the play styles by character class or tribe. The groundwork is already halfway done for them. Oseram are the big heavy melee dudes, Nora are hunters, Carja are stealthy trapper types, Utaru shoot plants or whatever, etc.

If I have one criticism of Prodeus it's that it's perhaps a bit too long and could have used a couple wowzer set pieces like the ending to Amid Evil. But otherwise it's the best semi-retro Doomlike I've played in awhile.

Blizzard were about to implement a change to the way immunities work in D2 that would have opened up dozens of new builds and reverted it at the last minute because some no-life streamer begged them not to make Sorcs even slightly less OP than they've ever been in the 20+ year history of the game.
