Awkward is definitely the word. It's largely fine at high speed weaving in and out of lanes, but any turning or other maneuvering at low speed is freakishly easy to overdo, and there are weird things like how any sports car just screams and shakes the screen even when you feather the acceleration trigger.

Thanks. I do have only myself to blame.

Yeah…I really wish I hadn't talked myself into buying it in an oh-my-god-an-actual-ps4-game-came-out-induced unthinking frenzy. I've only played a couple of hours so far, but it seems to vacillate between "meh" and "utter shit." The actual gameplay so far consists mainly of dying continuously because every enemy you…

Colbert may live…

I really wondered how I'd feel about the linearity, having pretty thoroughly despised XIII, but for some reason, X doesn't upset me in anything like the same way, possibly just because though it's linear for FF, it's still not as rigidly freedomless as XIII. I barely remember X-2, but I don't think I disliked it…

I definitely mean to try a long range build of some kind at some point, but being a strategic, cautious, timid, trembling weakling of a DS player, I'm very much sticking to what I know, which is really only melee.

Basically every one I've been against seems to have a move that either instantly drains my stamina or simply knocks me off balance, and they kill me more or less instantly. Don't know if it's the same shield-bash-or-variation move that everyone has or what, but either way, I can't seem to manage to do it to them, and…

I would do that all the time if the effect lasted longer. As it is, it feels a bit like a waste of an effigy.

Definitely being summoned rather than summoning. I did twig that there seemed to be no penalty when I (inevitably, every time) get wasted, but I'd still rather go about my business in my own time and not be interfered with by random strangers. Some of us are in it for the desolation and grim solitude!

I'll play a good bit of Second Son, cleaning up the end game of the finished Good story and delving a bit into the Evil story, and probably bounce between that, Dark Souls II, and the FFX remaster, as I never played that after it came out more than a decade ago.

Grr. Invasions make me very, very raging. I've resolved to start playing in offline mode, at least until I inevitably find another boss I won't be able to defeat without summoning someone (thanks, whoever it was who helped me beat the Pursuer!) There are still potentially AI invasions, but still.

I had lavender-flavored frozen yogurt in Hokkaido. It tasted very, very slightly.

Some of it could be called "random," which I know is kind of a catch-all, but plenty of it isn't. To spoil a couple of examples:

I, for one, will vouch like crazy for the humor in this game, although it probably does depend a lot on one's sense of humor. If you don't get at least some kick out of utter absurdity (and/or seriously brazen tech terminology puns), you might want to steer clear. I personally giggled more or less continuously the…

Oh, ah. That is phrased rather awkwardly. This is the danger of pre-coffee commenting. I'll edit.

Couldn't say, really…it seemed to be getting the new-game-rotation treatment when I got it on Steam a month or so ago, but it may well have just been new to Steam.

I loved this game more than anything I've played for about a year or two, despite how insubstantial it is. I reached the end in only about four hours (it would probably take 20 minutes if all you did was go straight to your objectives), but that's four hours when I was virtually never not laughing my ass off.

Maybe they're jealous that they can't fit into it since they gained all that weight. And all that rhino skin.

Oh, that's what that does? That must be it. I thought it had gone back and forth more than once, though. I assumed it was an amusing glitch.
