Watched FightinCowboy play the initial intro chapter and it looks pretty standard.

I felt the same way when Dark Souls (and subsequent sequels) came out. Sekiro was the first game I had ever refunded on Steam when I rage quit it after couldn’t get through the tutorial level. I’ve since tried it again and made it to Genichiro but couldn’t beat him as it doesn’t let you grind to level up. It’s truly a game where you have to “git gud” and I’m simply not that good at parrying.

Honestly the only reason I gave Bloodborne a try was because I saw someone else play who was a much worse gamer than I was, it was included on PS+, and I thought the world seemed really interesting. I absolutely do not think this genre is for everyone but when you can beat a boss, the rush is intense and addictive.

Boost and Arctic both have mod options now.

I think the damage may already be done to Unity. Devs have been moving to alternatives like Unreal and I doubt this walk back would make them change their minds.

I read the same thing but performance still seems to be solid.

It’s currently included with Game Pass plus there is a demo (I think it’s still available) so you can try it without having to buy it. Spending $60+ always gives me pause.

I was also hoping for better dodging as I am terrible at parrying. I struggled with Sekiro because it’s so reliant on parrying but I did enjoy it up until I got to Genichiro as I was never able to beat him.

I almost bought the deluxe edition on Steam but didn’t (being cheap I guess).

I’ve only gotten past the first major boss but I never felt like it was too difficult or too easy. A lot of the souls like games seems to struggle with the right balance of difficulty and just don’t seem to “get it”. The combat feels good, hits feel solid and I don’t feel like I’m getting screwed over. I’m really liking the game so far, the enemies and environmental storytelling are definitely souls inspired. Also, screw the chimney sweeps.

I believe the only 4x games I have played have been the Sid Meier’s games. They weren’t really my usual type of game but I did appreciate the complexity they created with balancing tactics and diplomacy.

Futurama, Venture Bros, South Park, and Archer.

So many good lines/references in Boondock Saints between the rope, the cat, and Willem Dafoe. Fantastic movie, sequels were kinda of meh.

Ghostbusters, original three Indiana Jones, and Tremors.

It was but the redirect has been resolved thankfully.

It feels as though we are moving back towards cable with all the different services and none of them are really anything to brag about anymore. I canceled my Netflix when they raised the prices and stated they would end password sharing. I then canceled my HBOMax when they started pulling content I liked to watch and I had already previously canceled my Hulu account since they really didn’t have anything worth watching. Now I am down to Amazon, Paramount+ (as it is free with WalMart+), and Crunchyroll and I rather like have less choices as it gives me the push to go do something else besides watch TV.

I assume you are referring to a physical copy of the Sega CD. As long as you still own a Sega CD you can play physical copies of games. Recently PlayStation closed down their online service for PS3 so you cannot access any digital games you may own even if you still have a PS3.

Or the service is no longer supported. I remember buying some PS3 games digitally but can’t access them on my PS5. Load of BS.

Did you ever listen to The Shadow? They are some phenomenal radio shows from back in the day.

Every night.

It’s amazing to think it has only been a few weeks and I still find it mind blowing how quickly everyone came together for all these projects.
