the truth is that Demon's Souls had a bunch of Armored Core DNA in it. AC6 being like a souls game is to be expected

Relatedly, Armored Core had the equivalent of poison swamp levels since AC1

i still think the steam deck looks very unwieldy to actually play but I've come to the uncomfortable realization that getting one would let me play way more cool indie games that i really wish would hurry up and come to switch

It actually feels very nice to hold and play, though it is heavier than the Switch.

my opinion of mgs4's story is that whenever it's just snake, otacon, sunny, raiden, ocelot, or vamp on screen the story is pretty good, but as soon as any of meryl, campbell, johnny, naomi, drebin, eva, or big boss can be seen it instantly nosedives into the garbage

It's a pretty funny bit how Big Boss keeps almost dying then comes back around, clearly not expecting to for the fourth time in a row. Too bad about the writing

did Kotaku do something to MAGfest to get them mad, they've definitely gone downhill over the last few years

Magfest was fun the times I went and I enjoyed the smaller Lab events they did but everyone gets sick every year with norovirus and like hell I'm going now to the ultimate super spreader event where almost no one actually bathes

The stench was always unbearable. The first time I went I literally fell to my knees gagging lol

I'm pretty sure that clip is glitched; when the soldier gets right up in the aliens face that should be a flank (and like 95% hit chance) but for some reason he's counted as still being in full cover.

It's still hilarious though

It's actually working as intended to describe what CF said. There's an extreme penalty to using anything but shotguns at a one tile distance in XCOM 2

It's also extremely funny yeah lol

yeah but my point is, when is THE PROTAGONIST'S child (or parent for that matter) involved. like, your example is interesting exactly because of the family dynamic.

that said, uh, God of War is extremely loving good and I am glad to finally be playing it. If you'd told me "It's old God of War but open-world with some Dark Souls boss fights and Diablo itemization but also heartwrenching" I would have been very confused, but experiencing that I am extremely pleased.
