Folks are delusional.

The power envelope of a Nintendo portable prevents so much. Even though its Nvidia tech that product won’t have enough of a GPU to have usable DLSS.

Yeah not for us in the “here there be dragons” territories either…

Sigh.

Looking in to giveaways before, once you’re big enough that the IRS pay attention both they and the local governments in other countries make it unbelievably expensive to do a giveaway across international borders on physical goods.

Sifu officially beat. It’s a cool little game. It’s not to deep but the premise is cool. Main story is ok and its level design and graphics work well together. Not my favorite roguelike by any means and there seems to be a lot to do after first completion. Gonna be interesting to see what this company does with its next game. Lots of graphical glitches like every time after I do a finisher this white box would flash on my screen like a computer error. A very interesting game fun but not super deep game 7/10

I was really surprised it had difficulty options. maybe because its a ps exclusive and they dont like hard games but that makes me less excited. I like when it forces you to get good. he did say he liked nioh and wo long

Gene Park isn’t a fan as well. Though he does admit he’s no fan of Nioh, so maybe it will be kind to those fans?

Very happy that Rise of the Ronin has difficulty levels. Will be playing on easy and seeing what the other options are with that difficulty level. It’s a souls like game and im not a souls guy unless it gives me options like Steel Rising did so if not for the difficulty levels, Ronin would be a pass but since that’s thankfully not the case, I will be playing it in April once I complete Rebirth and Granblue.

Did you spare all of the bosses? Because that’s the only way to see the “real ending”.

Question for you: did you play any of the Dark Souls/Elden Ring games or do you completely skip them due to the difficulty level?

I personally yell and swear quite a lot when playing g them but the satisfaction I get from beating them keeps me going and I’ve yet to break a controller over these games. Their not impossible even though they can be rough. Wo Long also comes to mind as a recent one that gave me a hard time.

Thankfully i don’t have assignments due in for at least two weeks so I have some time to play games, been thinking about completing

Ai the somnium files nirvana + Persona 3 reloaded + zero escape the nonary games

By the end of March/April.

I loved the zero escape 999. Still need to finish VLR.

Why would you be less excited about Ronin now that it has difficulty settings? the previews hinting at the combat being more simplistic and with less depth than what is expected from a Team Ninja game is concerning and not that it has an easy mode. Also if you want more challenge you can always play on Hard, if you enjoy challenge in games no one should force you to play on the higher difficulties…you will play on Hard anyway (as I do if I have the option). :man_shrugging:

Having difficulty options in action games in decades now doesn’t make them any less challenging or satisfying on the Hard/Very Hard modes.
