To me, souls-like would be basically anything that includes stamina-management based combat (which this does), and perhaps enemies that respawn when you visit a save point. The masocore element doesn’t have to be included, and nor does the combat pace, necessarily.

I imagine a female Snorlax would either be super lean or super jacked.... like this:

You see the Snorlax females are much like the female lion of Africa. Most of the male lions lounge around all day while the females do the hunting. They’ve also perfected the stealth while moving through long grass to keep hidden from anything they don’t want to be seen by.

Jeebus I’ve seen that poster all my life and it never once dawned on me that it wasn’t either of the sisters! I feel like a dunce.

Considering it’s recent popularity jump, no smaller of a subset then Megatron Scooby-Doo

I find it ironic that people that are supposed to like video games insist on dumping on AC Unity, which is easily the apex of the series, the last moment before it became an inferior witcher knockoff with dull side quests, a giant empty expanse, and enemies that took at least 500 smacks with a dull weapon to kill.

Go with it. He admits as much, from what I can tell. There’s a random NPC you can talk with (I think I found him in Hiyoshi?) who mentions that he heard the samurais or lords or whatever were excellent kaiku writers, and Jin basically says “Well, I write haikus but I wouldn’t profess to be good at it.” That’s a…

I too, hate media companies attempting to do the due diligence of verifying information before posting a story that might impact people’s lives.

Cancel Culture is fake and even if they left the cop cars in, the worst they would get is a bunch of upset messages on their social media(though no one actually cares about a few inanimate cop cars that sit in the background of a game).

They were obviously removed for PR reasons though. But there is no downside to…

What did Jason do?

It sounds like the purest distillation of the “realistic” FPS experience. Someone pointed-and-clicked faster than you did.

Layla wasn’t in Syndicate.

Yeah, the art book would have made a better box cover for the game:

Most people who played AC Syndicate agreed that Evie is the better lead than Jacob and personally better gameplay too because she excelled in stealth.

... Did you play the game? Because otherwise, it’s pretty difficult to not notice that half the missions require you to play as her.

So you haven’t put any time into a Madden game for almost 15 years, and you’re ready to completely denounce it because of one weird tournament result?

Scarlet Nexus looks like someone is cribbing real hard off of Astral Chains homework

People just have to ruin the fun for others.
