Brand new gameplay.

It’s hard to say without playing it of course but it seems the combat is fun, and has impact, very important.

Is this just playing the publicly available demo?

It’s been decided, next game to play is Zelda : Minish Cap. So much for a break from Nintendo games, lol.

It’s quite freaking awesome how NSO offers all this. I otherwise wouldn’t have been playing these games.

Not surprised that Sony continued their oddities with implementing TV standards.

It’s definitely a soulslike, as stamina can be seen at the bottom of the health bar, stance breaks are being shown off as well. I like the animation for the spear being faster.

The panda is either a merchant or a blacksmith to upgrade weapons.

I think I’ve fallen out of ARPGs. Diablo and PoE2 aren’t doing anything for me. :frowning_face:

The games are too grind heavy, with decreasing rewards/enjoyment as you progress deeper into the end game because the power gains keep diminishing after a certain point. You end up wiping the screen clear within seconds regardless.

I don’t think there’s anything more the devs can do tbh, it’s just the nature of the genre. Fun for a couple weeks after a new season and then you move on.

The problem is that I can’t even make it through the campaigns let alone the end game! Diablo I’ve picked up and dropped half a dozen times. PoE2 I’m trying to give more time.

Some Dark Souls content from ymfah, generally he sets out a challenge for himself in games like, beating Skyrim without walking or beat Bloodborne in one boss. Then he proceeds to look for every way to make it happen, this one is more of a parody as the name implies, but the challenge is still no picking up items on the ground.

Technically it still can. As the game only goes upto 4K 60.

I’m confused how tariffs for imports from Mexico affect digital game prices. But I suppose it’s a convenient excuse?

Mexico is where most game discs are made.

Their logic was in keeping price parity between physical and digital, one goes up the other goes up.
