For sure. The game can be beat without prosthetics at all if that’s your bag. I personally found it fun to mix it up with some of the mini boss fights and some of the harder “regular fights”. I don’t think it takes anything away from the satisfaction, because they really aren’t that effective even when you max them out.

Meanwhile, a potential game of the year, Animal Well, was made by one dude and put out by a publishing company started by a goofy YouTuber.

but for a boss, it’s faster to just learn the fight than spend time farming tokens to try to grind it out with prosthetics.

Eh not always… Not going to spoil anything but there are bosses that were designed for specific tools to be helpful. As in there are unique animations and effects when you use them on them.

I say let them play like they want to play.

Sekiro is possibly my favorite game of all time, and for sure my favorite From Software game. I can’t even describe how much I love this game.

The feeling you get when you finally beat a boss that initially seemed literally impossible (looking at you Sword Saint Isshin) is incomparable. Just the biggest dopamine rush ever.

And it’s like riding a bike. Once you get it, that muscle memory stays. I went a year or so without playing it, and within 5 or 10 minutes I was right back where I was.

Truly a gaming masterpiece. Enjoy it. Also, if you find yourself getting stuck on a boss and you find yourself getting into a loop of doing the wrong thing over and over, try giving it a rest for a bit and come back with fresh eyes.

I was struggling on the final boss for hours until I rage quit and went to bed. Tried again next morning and literally beat him on my second try.

Yeah that’s not what they’re doing with FFVII. These are three, very large, separate games. I’m nearly 100 hours into Rebirth and I’m probably about halfway through. Remake took me 80+, and the Intergrade was maybe 20 or so.

And not a moment of it has felt wasted or boring to me. Even the card game in Rebirth is incredible. I think they’re maybe even making an irl card game out of it.

Maybe it’s nostalgia as the original was a massive part of my childhood. But I love what they’re doing and where they’re going with the new series.

Hi-Fi Rush is a blast and I highly recommend it.

Welcome to capitalism

Because gamers are dumb fucks lol

Edit: ohhh struck a nerve. As a gamer myself, I’d be a fucking liar if I said that the average gamer isn’t a complete fucking moron.

But yes, I’m aware of the state of FO76 at release. I honestly could not care less about this game then or now.

The point was that it doesn’t matter how much of the game may have been fixed. It could literally be the greatest MMO ever now, and people would say it’s the worst game ever because their knowledge of the game begins and ends at the broken launch. And there’s a sense of pride in that ignorance. And that’s gamers being fucking stupid.

I thought the thumbnail was a Smurf hand holding a crackpipe… I think I need to get more sleep.

The worst is when he gets all passive aggressive and is like, "I know you’re busy saving the world and all, but you’re actually being kind of selfish by not stopping everything you’re doing and gathering this data for me.

I fucking hate this kid.

Yeah dude, I know you

but can you cool the fuck down for a few minutes and stop nagging me while I save this town from literal monsters that are devastating their economy? Oh, I can? Thank you so much Chadley.

Fuck that kid

Just picked this one up yesterday after playing the demo. Before I knew it, 5 hours had passed.

Awful name, but this game is fucking dope.

Possibly Akira Toriyama’s final work?

It looks like those anti-semitic goblins from the Harry Potter video game.

Oh man, I hope they don’t blow it.

Why

Yeah I didn’t understand how RDR won that award. Weird.

I play my PS5 on my Steam Deck using remote play and it works wonderfully.

They’ve become disturbingly common too.

Shin Megami Tensei did it first anyway. And Pokemon straight up stole monster designs from Dragon Quest.
