This reminds me of the reason Guilty Gear X (waaaay back in the day now) had a Negative Penalty if you didn’t engage for a period of time, or kept running away or pulling a Justin Wong.

Proof that money does not buy fulfillment nor happiness.

And the papers would read: “ONE ARMED MAN MURDERS HAPLESS VICTIM FOR A TOOTH!”

The only thing that is ‘Souls-like’ in this game is the fact that even basic enemies can rekt your shit if you just try to move forward+press stupid through them... and the overall exploration based design of the world with no minimap, no handholding, etc.

If you avoid going through the estate at all, you’ll miss out on a prosthetic tool.

The world is definitely open, just the design is different. Think of it as a star shaped sort of layout with Ashina Castle in the center. You can go any direction you choose and it doesn’t restrict you. 

Ah yes... ‘hardcore’ DS and BB fans... ‘Souls veterans’ as it were eh? Also known as frauds that finally got exposed by a game that requires legit skill.

The world is not only interesting, it has amazing verticality and IMO the mountain region you get to explore is hands down one of the most beautiful locales you will EVER see in a video game bar absolutely none. The entire game is an absolute joy to explore.

So since he’s such a great buddy... did you grant his request when you finally get the Fushigiri/Mortal Blade? :P

While I give not a single fuck for EA and honestly believe that should they go bankrupt and close tomorrow, not a single thing of value would be lost to gaming... I can’t help but massively shake head at the ‘we aim to be the world’s greatest gaming company’ line.

I mean... SERIOUSLY?!

I guess in hindsight its nothing actually new from SNK if we look at the timeline of their current PC releases... KOF XIV was released on PC after over 6 months... SNK Heroines likewise.

My one and only gripe in Sekiro at all is the fact I can’t sheath my katana outside of combat (like in Nioh).

PC ver delayed to 2020... prime example of how to win and lose at the same time from SNK.

Ah yes, hockey...That famous Canadian sport where people show up to watch the fights, and maybe a bit of bonus on the side of people hitting an object with a stick occasionally in between hitting other people right? :P

Nevermind an ‘unguarded ten foot hoop’... We’ll settle for a vid of him getting his couch potato ass off the couch first without putting his back out twice or needing a crane.

Sunk Cost Fallacy applies to normal games too, not just gacha mobile shitscams. This is what all the AAA companies are hoping for, that you won’t quit their game coz you’re ‘invested’.

That arguably is the sickest burn I’ve read all week, anywhere.

In this case... I’m on the side of the elderly guy. You don’t beat up on the elderly, sorry. You have to be a special type of scum to get physically violent with an aged person. Race notwithstanding here, at all.

I... won’t ask how you know what sucking a small dick is like...

Diablo 3 basically already showed everyone how loot has to be done nowadays. It learned all its lessons the hard way to get to where it is today.
