@rjejr I want to take the breaks and pass time myself not some automated version. Maybe some day I'll do another playthrough and see if it clicks with me better.
@Elodin How to get to them is also another struggle. That reminds me how annoying navigation is, with the wind thing. My install got corrupted and haven't even bothered reinstalling, not even done with Iki Island. It's a nice game but these things kinda ruins it. I could easily call Bloodborne open world because you can easily retire to the Hunter's Dream, repair, upgrade weapons and relax. I mean you can easily relax anywhere by using the Sit Down gesture.
When an open world doesn't have a place to rest and pass time and I'm supposed to believe my player is taking down outpost after outpost without resting or sleeping, it's a turnoff for me, kills immersion. You could skip all that in a linear game but not open world.
Gonna be more of the "I've never played GTAV" feeling cool and accomplished comments. Interesting how I spent, well still spending hours upon hours on R* games and now it's looking like I'm spending those hours on FromSoftware games, who would've thought!
@Shepherd_Tallon 😆 Nuka World not Cola. I also remember quitting that expansion halfway, think it was all just capturing capturing or something that got old quickly.
"I hate rap" really sounds lowkey "I dislike black people things." I won't bother going on an article about some genre and say I hate said genre when I don't really care. I mean I like rap but I didn't even care about commenting on this, yet the hater actually found time to comment.
Can't believe I have more screenshots on this game than RDR2. It's none other than '22 GOTY...ELDEN RIIIIIIIINNGG! Looking forward to Shadow of the Erdtree. Some may not realize but some YouTuber even said it, that for FromSoftware's first ever open world and to have nailed a steed like Torrent is remarkable. Ubisoft still can't get their horses right. GoT's horse is slow with a weird gallop. I feel like FS has filled that Bethesda void, y'know games you can't stop playing. Yeah and still need to make progress on BB's Old Hunters.
Metaphor:Refantazio made me return to Persona 5. Last weekend I returned to Fallout 4 with all that Fallout talk but after seeing Preston Garvey, I'm like Awww No, not again!
I'm in awe over everything about this game! Keeping tabs on it. Never really saw P5's UI as extra stylish but this right here is the real deal, everything looks stunning!
Atlus have been horrible with their money grabbing tactics but gotta admit this looks incredible! This likely straight up Art Direction winner - 2024 Game Awards. P3 Reload is a remake, this looks like what's next after P5. Considering preordering.
Jumped on the bandwagon and reinstalled Fallout 4 - already platinumed, only a few trophies lurking in Far Harbor and Nuka World. Dunno why I didn't really get into Fallout 3 back in the day, maybe the colors were a bit annoying. I'll probably roam a bit in the wasteland and just return to my default MHW Iceborne, HFW, ER, BB or AC Valhalla.
Yeah I almost installed it again with all the talk. What a game. In 2015, it was Bloodborne for the combat, Witcher 3 for the story and Fallout 4 for the wacky fun.
Back to Horizon Forbidden West and Monster Hunter World Iceborne. Will be continuing Elden Ring and AC Valhalla also. A bit of Bloodborne probably, haven't gotten nowhere in the Old Hunters.
"Well, finally. Now we can, too. We've wanted to do it for ages. Everyone else is. So why don't we?'"
I said this last time, that it's gotten to the point where some are just laying off because everyone else is. It's cruel and they should be held accountable in any possible form.
I think MC plays a huge part than we realize, Elden Ring wasn't highly anticipated by mainstream but the rave reviews got every stranger preordering on a whim.
@thefourfoldroot1 Naah games like FIFA are rather mostly bought physically so they can sell it and buy the next each year.
@TrickyDicky99 Game design includes frame rate. How do you separate them. And if you're talking graphics, I bet HFW & GOWR still look better than these like @KilloWertz said, and run at a stable frame rate, it's all in the design.
Back on RDR2...tsk... forever amazing, it's just sad, Rockstar has no competition. And usual will be playing ER and BB also. Yeah and continue some story arc in AC Valhalla, plus some Divinity OS2.
@Number09 Got that white horse on my 2nd playthrough. Some of the basic horses we overlook are actually beautiful, like the Dappled Bay. Had a Dapple Grey which I named Grey Boi and that wine Thoroughbred I named Fine Wine haha. Nothing's ever touching Red Dead Redemption 2, it's in its own class.
Best MGS hands down but would it give off the same epic feeling we had first time playing it... For example that epic fight with the ghillie guy in the forest is similar to the awesome TLOU2 unknown sniper mission with all the realism you can get. It might feel old in these times.
@B0udoir Lol at "Bloodborne is indie." The level of detail on attire, equipment, items and menu plus overall theme or art style is 10x better than Spiderman or GoT.
@nomither6 "bugs, crash, upgrade might as well be a ritual for a fake belief at this point,"
Sounding like a Miyazaki item description 😆. Yea probably a ritual performed by Irreverent Izzy at the Divine Tower of Caelid. Y'all act like you can just buy a graphics card off the counter and start gaming right away.
@windxtravelerx Well I mean that's the lesson I learnt in the early 2000s and went back to console, most people learn it too, it's why consoles keep selling.
Oh no oh no...You release DLC the same year as the game released at £30...so you really just wanted to sell the game for £90 to start with. Tsk Christ...Atlus!
@somnambulance Not really a shock P3's being outsold. Everybody knows Atlus' game now. ReReleases upon ReReleases with no upgrade fee options, people are waiting for complete editions.
At this point they're not even shy fleecing the fans anymore. Devs these days see these live service games raking in the dough and they feel SP players still owe them more. I mean just go make a live service game then and stop this shameful facade towards sp players.
That's one of the charms of FromSoft games, reading descriptions and making sense of things. Found a whole new city in my new playthrough, the surprises just don't stop.
If you respect your time so much you won't even bother starting the game or any other game for that matter. Problem isn't families and responsibilities, problem is your fomo self wants to buy, play and complete every single game being released under the sun, that's fine but don't expect them all to be short because YOU are buying them all. There are people who like to buy and focus on just a few games and want long campaigns at those prices.

@TrickyDicky99 I mean they are current gen only right...so you can't be singing your "PS4 is holding things back" song.

@TrickyDicky99 Yeah yeah yeah PS4 is still holding this and Rise of the Ronin back.

Re: Sony Polls Players on Favourite Games That Aren't Bloodborne
No excuses for this. Bloodborne is a PS Exclusive, and yes it would've beaten most of them hands down.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 520
Just can't stop with Elden Ring and Bloodborne. Will try to continue Divinity OS2 and AC Valhalla also. I might restart legendary RDR2.
