Just one small correction.... CCP didn't develop the Witcher games, they're the EVE Online people. :) CD Project Red developes the Witcher games. ;)

It is an amazing looking Triss costume though, really well done, looks great. :D

Super Mario Galaxy is just Super Mario 64 but with gimmicky gravity mechanics. Half Life 2 was just Half Life but with stupid gimmicky physics. Ocarina of Time is just A Link to the Past but with a stupid 3D gimmick.

You don't even have to go to HD, respawn after a death and it auto stocks regardless.

But I think the point of calling it Bloodborne was to break from that lineage in the first place. It lets people know that the game is distinctly different from the Souls games. Helps FromSoft save face later down the line if they make DS3, if people start complaining why it's missing features/mechanics from…

But it's not a souls game, it's Bloodborne, a new IP.
New type of setting (moving away from medieval fantasy), new gameplay elements and a different approach to combat.

Yes, it's very similar to the souls games but it's not like a dev team taking heavy inspiration from their previous work is that rare.
Just look at…

From what I have heard from people who have played all the Souls and went into Bloodborne it takes a mindset change. Much faster and more offensive based where as most people play a Souls game slow and methodically. Plus FromSoftware didn't want to name their next game Souls because they don't want to be a studio…

How about we let people do whatever the fuck they want and the consequences of how others perceive them are theirs to own?

oh man, that f***er on the stairs...

Man, the Maneater, I still remember the first time I walked into that fight, had no idea of what was coming, Latria by itself had already been an ordeal, even that las mind flayer at the stairs got my heart racing, when I saw the fog gate I wa relieved for just one second before I realized that there was a big chance…

I was wondering why R3 was listed as lock-on. I couldn't get that to work but I don't think I used R1 first so thanks for the tip.

What lazy-ass, ill-conceived, nonsense.

Frieza was kind of a lame-ass villain to start with, but this is just looking for ways to make him suck more.

The only thing cool about Frieza was waiting around to see what crazy new form he'd transform into.
This 3rd Street Saints version of Frieza is a worse lazy palette swap…

Yeah, there's a world of difference between a fan-project (which should always be allowed unless they're clearly screwing over the value/perception of the property), and someone attempting to extract money from a faked official release.

There are a few distinct worlds inside the Souls games.

Honestly, its probably a quick way for Nordic to get some money off the IP and judge interest in a third game. Kinda makes sense. I'll buy it again, I really enjoyed the game and would love to see a third.

If I had to take a guess, this is more a publicity thing; Nordic is probably trying to get Darksiders back I'm people's minds after a long hiatus, possibly gearing up for a sequel announcement? One can hope, at least, I did like those games. :)

Awesome! I can only speak for the first half of the season, but it's definitely worth checking out just for the consistenly gorgeous animation, the original character designs and the lack of the usual anime tropes and characters alone. I just hope it sticks the landing and doesn't get unnecessarily convoluted by the…

For the love of god, Nozaki-kun (#2 on the list). Never hurt myself laughing before...

I'm right there with ya. I started with sao and have been going off of recommendations ever since.

Aldnoah.Zero is the best on that list imo.
