Now if only Rival Schools got resurrected too, I’d happily go back to playing fighting games.

Where the pics at? I’m joining Mr. Bear.

I’d say the 18/3 Chiron concept from 1999 is a better preview for the Veyron than the Bentley.

It’s impossible to discern the tone of the remarks in a comment section. If you were half-joking in the initial reply, I didn’t catch it. Either way, the game’s not bad, I just went in with the wrong expectations. It’s not really a Soulsborne replacement, even if it has tons of similarities.
Does the game get more…

I mentioned my experiences with the game and initial impressions of the mechanics. There are 3 stances, Ki Pulse mechanic, switching stances during a combo, etc. I didn’t use more than half of the possible moves, only did the Ki Pulse with no mid-combo stance switching, etc. It just felt like extra busywork and…

There are some weapons I’ve ignored for awhile, need to play around with them to see how satisfying to use they are. I mainly do just spear and bows, barely use the slings and ropecaster. Maybe those damn birds wouldn’t be so annoying if I tied them down. Even then it’s not 100% necessary since a few fire arrows do…

I barely use it, except if I have no mount and need to traverse half the map. Even then killing mecha-beasts is not as fun if there’s no purpose.

I love almost everything about the game, but there is one thing I am not too happy about - small number of quests, and outside of the main ones not all of them are winners. 20 or so main missions is not much.

OMG, that last bit was amazing information. I’ve already been to Meridian and saved the Sun-King, yet never noticed all the hearts and lenses can be bought from the vendors. I am always at around 95/100 part slots, so I’ll just sell them all the hearts + lenses now and keep a bunch of slots free.

I will believe it when we at least have a semi-reliable leak. Don’t get me wrong though, I’d be ecstatic if it’s really in the pipeline. They can’t just leave it at one game, it’s too brilliant. It would be a great one-off, but we need more.

Nioh’s combat felt a bit too unnecessarily detailed, and the Ki pulse mechanic never really did it for me. Seemed more of an annoyance, even if I had no problem using it. The story was not really engaging and I think I left it at the Lightning Lionbear boss (or whatever it’s called, the one after Hino-Enma). The…

We know the original and knew what to expect from the remake (not much). The movie is adequate, but pales in comparison to the original. Hollywood won’t care though, as long as they think the audience that didn’t see it and might be interested is big enough. Somehow I doubt the folks that didn’t want to read subs when…

First thing that comes to mind would be the Irish fans fixing a dent in a Ka:

Brilliant.

Depends on the strain I guess, but I’ve had some gaming sessions where I’ve done better because of it.

I did the same in NG+ and it was still a nightmare (haha).

You will get to the bosses sooner or later. Try to learn how to parry on smaller enemies who don’t deal that much damage. Shoot in the middle of their swing. You will get hit, but get used to the timing. It would be very useful against larger enemies or bosses. You can still complete the game without much parry skill,…

Slow at turning, but lots of his attacks punish you even if you’re behind him - the swing range on that thing is ridiculous (not in a bad way though). He was about as hard as Ludwig at least for me - in top 5 bosses of soulsborne. You could not cheese him even if you stayed on his ass.
Maria though... shame that a…

A few easy tips for beginners: since you have no shield turtle tactics, learn to keep your distance and attack after your enemy swings and misses. Draw them out one by one with pebbles and bullets. Once you clear an area of enemies, take a few moments around to explore the nooks and crannies for items and possible…

Ludwig is close to the top for me as well.
It’s pretty normal for people to criticize otherwise cool and challenging bosses for being easily parryable. If I beat her on my 2nd try after taking 30+ attempts on Ludwig (and she’s supposed to be a challenge with her swordplay), then something’s wrong. Easy way to fix it…
