I mean, you'd get the same effect as using a Beast Blood Pellet with any other weapon, but the Beast Claws, especially if you have the transformation run from killing Laurence, are really fun. Once you get your beasthood growing, I'm doing about 800 damage per hit, which is comparable to Ludwig's Blade. Except the…

It's hard to find the balance in these games between crushingly difficult and rewarding challenge. I think I just kind of wanted to breeze through the DLC and finish off Dark Souls 3, but it was way too hard for that, and I didn't really want to have to fight Midir 30 times to get through that. It's basically a 5-10…

I was using the claws from Ashes of Ariandel for the Ringed City, and obviously they are fast and generally pretty good, but the enemies just had too much damn health. Compared to playing Bloodborne at pretty much the same time, I just starting using the Beast Claws in NG+3, and they completely destroy that game.

I love Bloodborne a lot, but I agree that the way blood vials are implemented kind of breaks the game. Not only do you have to grind for vials, but having 20 heals kind of negates a lot of difficulty. I was able to beat Lady Maria both times I fought her on my first try, because I had so many heals, and the heal is…

Playing Nioh now, and it's great! Not as interesting overall as Bloodborne or Dark Souls, and I think the loot mechanics are out of place, but the game feels really good. Not a ton of enemy variety so far, but I think the skill progression and combos offset the low weapon variety as well.

I just finished playing Bloodborne, after playing Dark Souls 3, and I think I'm just more annoyed at how Bloodborne influenced the gameplay of DS3, but Bloodborne I found much easier and manageable. Enemies are really fast and aggressive sure, but you have a really powerful and quick dodge move that gives you the…

That's kind of what I thought, and I've definitely seen that custscene before. Still, I wanted to believe that the angry Moon just wanted to eat Clock Town.

I guess I never really thought of it before, but is the moon in Majora's Mask going to eat the world, or are they just going to collide and explode? It does have a face, so it's not like it couldn't eat everybody.

Yeah, one of the plot points of the movie is how Mary Jackson is trying to get her degree, and take night classes at a white high school, and she has to go to court just to enroll. Even after the Supreme Court's integration of schools, plenty of institutions could get away with flaunting the law because black people…

Water Temple is fine. The Water Temple boss sucks. Worst boss of the game, people should complain more about that.

Yeah, and based on my understanding of the case, it seems like Zenimax was actually in the right, and there was a breach of contract here. They're still pretty shitty some of the time, and there definitely would never have been a lawsuit if Occulus had not been publicly sold for 3 billion dollars.

I only played Scholar on PC, and I just always feel the animations don't blend as well as the other games.

After jumping between all 3 games a lot recently, DS2 just feels sluggish, even compared to the first one, which is a fairly slow paced game. The controls never feel responsive enough, and the hitboxes don't seem consistent enough. Having the invincibility of the dodge change throughout the game kind of screws you up,…

I think the final boss was kind of a slog, but beating it was very satisfying once I figured out the right way to cheese it basically. The new weapons in the DLC are all pretty great, but just about everything else was pretty underwhelming. The Corvian Knights were very cool, but every other standard enemy sucked…

My first time playing, Capra Demon took me about 30 tries to kill. It was about 3-4 tries before I even survived the first 5 seconds of the fight.

Yeah that's what I figured, plus the very small collection of Wii-U games that get ported to this, but I can't imagine there will be many of those.

Yeah I'm pretty much set to pay $350 to play Zelda, and any backwards compatible titles for a while. Not terrible excited about any of the other games.

The Rollercoaster Tycoon movie can be our only salvation now.

Don't worry, there is not enough morbid curiosity in the world to propel a sequel to this, I'm sure of it.

Is there a 15 minute interval where he keeps accidentally climbing up on low fences when he doesn't want to, and then somehow getting down and falling is harder than climbing up for him.
