I hear you. I think the World Tier approach is still an odd one (I read your other post), essentially trying to pack a whole endgame’s worth of content into what’s essentially five levels with different difficulty settings within those levels and no way to switch between them (the way you could with the first…

That’s very true. I’m not sure the state Destiny 2 was in at launch, but this is also something I experienced with Division 1 vs Destiny 1, that the core elements of how the game actually works is just so much simpler in Destiny than Division. I do have hopes for Division 2, but one of the big concerns is that while…

Oh Division 2. Here’s my obligatory state of the game rant.

They adjusted the movement for online pretty recently, and it’s so much better. I liked slow for story mode, but online needed a faster pace.

wat.

No more than the first one (which I played again right before RDR2 came out). Like, those early RDR1 missions - and even some later on were brutal. The story unfolds significantly slower this time around, but I think the writing makes up for it. The 70 hours I spent in story mode this time went way faster than the…

One thing I’d like to see more of in general - and something that I legitimately think will make games better (again, in general) - is accessibility outside of the genre niche. So there are some people who love crafting/survival type games - with those super deep systems. But what would it look like to make a survival…

This is literally incorrect. In fact, there’s an entirely different word used to describe what you’re referring to, and you even used it yourself. It’s called being “mistaken.”

No, gear score is mostly for robot/drone enemies and maybe body shots? Headshots will be one shot kills (two shots if they’re wearing a helmet.

Yeah, I hate the catch-all “sexual misconduct” tag in general.

Yeah, you can buy a pamphlet that allows you to craft explosive ammo, with arrows  really being just flying sticks of dynamite. It’s maybe the worst aspect of the game that’s working as intended.

Yeah I came back to online just because I loved the world so much. Although a few thing to note, there are some gameplay differences between single player and online. Mainly, movement speed and game pace is noticeably faster. There’s mixed reactions from the player base on this, but personally I think it’s generally…

If it’s overpowered griefers you’re worried about, they are few and far between since the update came out and there’s finally stuff to do. PvP is largely a choice. Every once in a while some asshole will hit you with explosive ammo, but in my 100 hours spent online that’s literally only happened twice. Plus there’s…

You can if you buy the bounty hunter role. Each role is 15 gold bars - the premium in-game currency. Most players were sitting on 50+ gold by the time the update rolled out (all earned in-game), but it’ll probably take a new player a good bit to grind for that. If you spend real money, that comes out to like $6.

I just can never get the timing right for some reason! I’ve probably fought BSB hundreds of times (including all my deaths on all my playthroughs) and I’ve just never been able to get it. All of my victories were narrow, too. But that’s the thing about Bloodborne - everybody has a list of the hardest bosses, and most…

Haha, you’re right, my apologies.

I did, and it was one of those games that didn’t click with me at all. I’m usually pretty good about at least seeing why people have so much enthusiasm for something that I pretty much dislike across the board (or vice versa), but Nioh is one of those things where I just don’t get how people love that game so much. It…

For real. On my most recent playthrough I narrowly lost the fight to him and just sat there like “I can’t believe I just died to the Cleric Beast.” I was so disappointed in myself, haha. The only boss that still messes me up on the regular (in the main game at least) is Blood Starved Beast. I’ve never been able to…

I’d definitely like to see more “Souls Light” games. I love the structure and gameplay loop of those games, and even though Bloodborne is hands-down my favorite game of all time, sometimes the relentless difficulty is a drag, particularly with the imitators. And not only that, it seems a lot of those imitators out…

Is combat more or less the same? I liked the first one well enough for a while, but never got around to finishing it.
