Re: A New Day, a New Bloodborne PS5 Rumour

Ashina

Another day another Bloodborne rumour (what else is new?). But I have to admit, I really wanted for Sony to do something about this IP. Remaster, remake, a sequel or heck, a spiritual successor. Considering how much Sony loves remastering their previous gen titles (even though some of them aren't really that old), it's surprising that they haven't done anything about Bloodborne and it's the game fans have been asking for years more than whatever Sony is throwing our way.

Re: Poll: Are You Sick of Soulslike Games?

Ashina

While I enjoy the Souls game that FromSoftware made, outside of those, the only other Souls-like games that I enjoyed so far are Nioh and Lies of P (and maybe Code Vein)

I'm ok with the Souls-like games releasing more often but I do want to see some variety/unique take on the formula

Re: Dragon Quest Creator Says Silent Protagonists Look Like Idiots

Ashina

I honestly don't mind silent protagonists. The dialouges spoken and their "personality" depends on the player's choices. tbh, there are times where I get annoyed when certain protagonists have their own personality and you have no control over what they say. That said, even with the graphics evolving, at the end of the day, it really depends on the aesthetics of the game

Re: Jeanne d'Arc (PS5) - Long Awaited Strategy RPG Remains Divine

Ashina

I really need to get into SRPG more, Unicorn Overlord has been a banger and before that, SD Gundam Crossrays was the last SRPG I've played and then Disgaea 2 was the last game I've completed (and clocked in 200+ hours) but that was years ago on my PSP (Good times)

We really need more games like this and I'm really hoping Square finally announce Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster

Re: Sony Music Japan Is Working to Make Palworld More Popular Than Ever

Ashina

Interesting to see this taking the Pokémon company route but only time will tell if this will be a massive success as Pokemon but tbh, I doubt it would. It could be a popular franchise but not in the same level as Pokemon, I doubt.

On the flip side, I do want this to be popular enough that it would make Gamefreak step up their game in terms of the quality of the Pokemon games they are making.

Re: Poll: Can a Game's Brutal Difficultly Put You Off Playing It?

Ashina

Really depends on the games I play. I do love me some Fromsoftware games and I accept the challenges and I don't really blame the game if it's brutal. The thing about Fromsoft's game is that while they can be difficult, but at the same time they are fair and when I die, it's because of my own failures (whether it being impatient and charging head on straight, being cocky and/or not learning the patterns of certain bosses)

I can say the same for other Souls like game such as Nioh which I also love and I would admit that it will take me a while to beat these kind of games because there are times that I just give up (for a while) and then pick up the game again and continue from where I left off.

In some cases where games have difficulty selection, I tend to just go with "Normal" mode just to enjoy the game but at the same time, have some fair challenges along the way. Though in Resident Evil's case, I really do love me some challenges so for RE2 Remake and RE4 Remakes, I cranked up the difficulties to challenge myself, especially for RE2 Remake where the hard difficulty is the one that has the limited ink ribbon which I welcome as a challenge and as a tribute to the old RE games

Re: FromSoftware Boss Says Using Guides to Beat Its Games a 'Perfectly Valid Playstyle'

Ashina

Been playing lots of Souls games for years and I use guides from time to time, especially when I get stuck in an area for hours

Nothing wrong going in blind as well. Did it with Elden Ring at the first few hours. I did eventually used some guides to get the Ranni marriage ending.

It's really up to people on how they wanted to play FS games and don't let others tell you otherwise

Re: PS5 Exclusive Rise of the Ronin Is Koei Tecmo's Best-Selling Game

Ashina

The game doesn't really need to make a huge buzz around the internet for it to be successful enough. Considering that it's a new IP from Team Ninja, I'd say this is still great news. Congrats to the devs. Bought it earlier this month and was really having fun with it while taking a break from Nioh 2.
