Something about those 2D platforming sections game me a distinct Mischief Makers (N64) vibe. Anybody else remember that game?

Lol what the fuck... ‘false advertisement’. Admit it, you didn’t like this episode because he shat on your favorite franchise.

nobody buys a FF game if they’re not already a fan. it really doesn’t matter what Conan says.

This game absolutely feels like the sunk cost fallacy at work. And they seem to be more and more paranoid about it not selling, constantly adding to the tower of game versions and spin-off products to try to recoup costs.

::Sigh::

I would like a system that kept the 1080p visuals and instead eradicated loading times. That’s the dream right there.

Eh, it doesn’t look all that great.

Dunno, looks to me like they put a humorous spin on a lot of the ads.

I didn’t choose the PC life.

Wait the head is totally fake? Holy junk.

I Am Setsuna looks great. I’m not denying this at all. But don’t think that games like this could survive en mass in today’s market.

It’s like I was dodging meme landmines, couldn’t laugh at anything funny because they were sandwich by 2007 era YouTube poop bullshit. Good I keep getting burned by Kotaku animation recommendations.

The point of music is to shock people?

Metal concerts tend to be full of pretty decent people to be frank. It’s funny but the more extreme the band, the safer the audience generally feels.

Don’t know who that is, but I want to.

Because Dark Souls combat is an elaborate dance of opportunity. Every enemy can kill you, most enemies have about the same kind of arsenal as you do as far as swings and charges and such goes, it’s about finding the opening in an attack and punishing it, or getting punished for a misstep.

I remember some people bashing Witcher 3 of it’s pretty much similar controls while praising Dark Souls (well, without stamina sort of). Those games have pretty much 1:1 controls. Albeit the challenge of Witcher 3 vanishes as soon as you gain some of the more potent options in your arsenal. But still.

But they are sparse and not presented as like God of War, Onimusha, DMC or Ninja Gaiden. Hack and Slasher nowadays are either Dark Souls-like or Monster Hunter-like. We don’t have games like GoW, DMC, Ninja Gaiden and Onimusha anymore.
