Re: Ninja Gaiden Ragebound Looks Ridiculously Good in This PS5, PS4 Gameplay

I played the demo on Steam Deck last night, I’m sooooo hyped for this game. As far as the difficulty goes, I didn’t find it too difficult, but I only played the training and first level all the way through, and a bit of the second level, then shut it off. There’s some fairly generous check points, several secrets to find in the levels, and you can go back and replay levels. I didn’t check to see if there were difficulty settings or not. The game plays really well, if you have Steam I highly recommend checking out the demo.

I’ve been taking my time with Death Stranding Director’s Cut. It’s such a fantastic game, but I never finished it. I won’t be getting 2 anytime soon because I’m not the type to play games back to back like that because I’ll burn out, but at least I’ll be ready when I want to.

@TerranIV I haven’t played DS2 yet, but considering how deeply lore heavy the first game is I’d assume yes. It’s definitely worth a play through and I don’t love Kojima nearly as much as most people, in fact, I thought it was going to be terrible, but I gave it a shot anyways and was so wrong.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2025?

@Kierant202 I completely agree with you. I don’t need to see the massive AAA games, we’ve seen so many of those to a point of over saturation. I want to see new games and smaller projects. The Lego It Takes Two style game looked fantastic and charming. I didn’t play Atomic Heart but the new one intrigued me. The Metroidvania they showed looked really fun and I love the genre, so more is always good. I’m not as into RE as most people but that looked great. Onimusha stole the show for me, that looked so damn good! Not everything there was for me, but I thought it was all around really good.

Apparently, I’m the minority this time, but I really enjoyed this one. There were far more games that interested me than usual. Plus, a zombie baby got punted across the room, that automatically made it a 10/10, for me.

I’m currently lying in bed with a stomach bug that my sister so graciously passed on to my daughter and me, so I slept through it. I didn’t vote but doing a quick glance there wasn’t too much for me there… other than getting a few answers right on Sacred Bets!

Re: Elden Ring Nightreign's Enormous Success Continues, Now Over 3.5 Million Sales

@SirSephy as a primarily solo player, I don’t recommend it solo. Granted, I haven’t played it solo since before the update that is supposed to help solo players, but I kept getting wrecked by the final Day One boss. Admittedly, I’m not the best player in the genre, but I have played quite a few Soulsborne games. I have had more fun with randoms than I have solo, sure even that is hit or miss, but when you click with a good group it’s a ton of fun. And that’s coming from someone who plays MMOs as solo player games. 😂

It’s a solid game. I had no interest in it, but pre ordered it the day before it released on a whim. I’m primarily a solo player, but I’m really enjoying it. Once I broke the muscle memory of Elden Ring and I embraced playing with randoms, it’s the most fun I’ve had playing multiplayer in quite a long time.
It’s definitely not going to be for everyone. I don’t even know how long I’ll stick with it, but given the fact that the longest a match can run is 45 minutes, it’s great as an in between game or game when you don’t have a ton of time to play.

I ended up going against myself and grabbing Elden Ring Nightreign. I’m almost strictly a solo gamer, so this isn’t normally a game I’d play, but after several hours with it last night, it was a ton of fun. Solo was brutally hard, some of the randoms I played with weren’t great, but others were great to play with and we made it pretty far together. Overall, I’ve had a great time with it.
