@ShadowRJ I think that camps that replenish health and healing items, but also respawn enemies is not enough to earn soulslike moniker.

Tried it on gamepass and already ordered the disk. It's NOT a soulslike. Like Ninja Gaiden, Stellar Blade and Ys are not soulslikes. It's action-rpg, those exist.

AC winning the best game is McDonald's winning the best restaurant.

Denshattack and it's not even close. Remakes are unnecessary.

Cosy is what I always called Atelier games. Now it's a label for farmville clones.

@Flaming_Kaiser "if you die in game you die in real life"

Greetings, good people.

Today yours truly is turning 38. One one hand it's scary, on other hand surviving one more year in Russia is already an achievement, so today is less games more celebrating!

This week I was juggling way more games then I usually do. Adventures of Elliot on PS5, Denshattack on Steam Deck, Rhythm Heaven Groove and Switch 2 version of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on, well, Switch 2. To make new playthrough more interesting, I turned off enemy aggression and get exp only from quests and landmarks and not engage in combat until quest demands it. I wonder if I can finish the game this way.

That's all for now, love each other and have a great weekend.

@MFTWrecks devs know that many people like soulslikes, but not sure why exactly, so they copy everything.

@RoomWithaMoose I'm not trying to make a point that Hollywood moneymakers don't have artistic merit. It's just that their merit does nothing for me, opposed to wholesome cartoons.

The only thing I remember about this game is gallons of blood pouring out from a skeleton.

@RoomWithaMoose any idea if youtube links are allowed here?

And this is gaming news how?

@RoomWithaMoose I don't know about "people", but I personally would watch a dozen of Pengmin cartoons over one Avatar or Bond with Craig movies.

@For-Kier people here have such a raging hateboner for AI that they forget that humans can suck at their job.

I love the word "slop", it's great for filtering people out.

@Flaming_Kaiser so "our" morals are good and "their" morals are bad. So much for equality.

Princess Maker is around for 35 years, and yet Western Audience™ is surprised. Go figure.

@8th_Observer thing is, it doesn't. Generation leaps stopped being leaps and became baby steps. What could PS6 offer besides more frames and pixels on screen?

@ElPenitente about caving in... try living in totalitarian country for a while. You won't remain brave keyboard warrior for long.

Best news of summer, I freaking loved Wuchang and definitely will get a sequel.

Not interested in Dying Light, Big Walk doesn't even look like a game, but I'll definitely try Signalis, my friend praised it a lot.

@RoomWithaMoose I'm talking only about campaign. I've never played Halo multiplayer.

As someone who doesn't play AAA western games... Well, you know what I want to say.

I have it on gamepass, but I'm not sure if I want to play it. Unlike 2 or Reach, Combat Evolved didn't impress me at all.

There is basically no one at BioWare anymore that understands video games.

@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy definitely not minority, it was a huge step down from the first game. Especially in writing department.

Bought RE9 and Pragmata, Monster Hunter Stories 3 will arrive someday next week, definitely will buy Onimusha 5 too. 2026 is Capcom year.

What a load of bull.

@RoomWithaMoose there is blurred pushsquare and Mr Cage in the background

@Mr-Cage dude...

@Mr-Cage I bought hot & spicy pringles yesterday

@Dogbreath remove all your clothes and go live in a cave

Arcsys is my favourite fighting developer, but Marvel is eww.

@Marquez guess I'm miserable now. I didn't know that Marvel is a pinnacle of art that should be loved by anyone.

Stealth system?!

@OpheliaDynamight or people can care about corporation's profit more than their own

Sony could make a car that drives only in straight line, and loyal fanboys would say that they don't need to turn anyway.

Not gonna lie, for a second I thought that "Marathon's rescue mission" is about rescuing the game itself from being shut down.

@ElPenitente I know that not being a stan of every Sony published game won't win me any brownie points here, but the only "sensational" thing about SM2 is how hard it dropped the ball.

Hope it's Spiderman 1, not 2.

@Mintie HSR eventually finds it's footing, but the beginning is terrible. In worst FFXIII fashion it bombards you with termins you don't know sh*t about and scatters doc files with lore dumps all over the first location. NTE and ZZZ have much better prologue, but NTE has one of the worst console UI I had misfortune of knowing.

@hel105 ZZZ. It's much more beginner-friendly, meaning not overwhelming and the story is interesting from the start.

That feel when I played Clair Obscur in french and will play Tides of Annihilation in chinese.

Rise of Ronin is the only good game here, and I bought it day one.

@ButteredCrumpet you are right. I don't communicate with Sony, I don't have any value to them, just as they now don't have any value to me. Though I don't make noise online either. If all consoles stop supporting physical games and cost 1000+$, there will remain no reason for me to own any consoles. Gaming isn't my only hobby and I have enough backlog and retro games to last me for decades.

@ButteredCrumpet you are barking on the wrong tree, I never fought Sony on social media because I don't have any social media accounts to begin with. And yes, I cherish the option to slide a disk into console, and more importantly buy it from different places much cheaper than digital. Physical media and price were primary reasons I bought consoles. Take it away and I simply won't buy.

@thiagoauler noone is trying to take away your digital games though.

@Oram77 I know about it. I said nothing about developers, only about commenters here.
