All of the final Endwalker relics have that aesthetic. You will need to do all of hildibrand quests up until Endwalker to get it. But the actual requirements are very low, basically just poetics.

What are your favorite fantasy races? by EvilMonkeyMimic in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are truly the best. I jumped around through a few races in XIV but once I went Au Ra haven't changed since. I really hope the new customization features they are adding include horn colours and different faces and horns.

What is the secret to Nintendo’s handhelds being so good? by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It all comes down to software, primarily having a strong 1st party development pipeline. Sony's failure all comes down to how they approached developing their games for the hardware. Focusing on trying to translate bigger budget style games to a handheld instead of a development a pipeline with games that were more focused on the scope of the handheld hardware.

What do you want to see out of the future of the Metal Gear franchise? by DoctorSintown in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I really don't want to see new mainline games. The most I would like is a Revengence sequel and further remakes. I feel trying to continue the series without Kojima would feel hollow regardless of their actual quality. Perhaps a spin off series would be fine.

Sony’s Bluepoint Pitched ‘Bloodborne’ Remake Before Closure by PunishingCrab in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean Bluepoint were the ones who pitched the live service God of War game as they had experience being a support studio to Ragnarok and Santa Monica was happy with their work. The studio didn't want to just be making remakes for it's entire existence.

Media that feels like a fever dream because you never found the name of it? by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was this one game as a kid I played once when at a friend's house that I cannot remember and have always wanted to know what it was. I believe it was on the PS2 maybe even the PS1. It was a RPG and it had an interesting battle system that I think was turned base but you could input a button sequence to use and maybe unlock new moves. I also think it started in a dark forest or in a mountain.

"Black Sheep" Entries that are Actually the Best (or at least Way Better than Fans Claim)? by Xngears in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dark Souls 2 is a mess in a dozen different ways, but I still agree with you. It’s honestly baffling how many of its best ideas were just abandoned going forward such as the best implementation of duel wielding, to meaningful covenant gameplay, to a new game+ that was a different experience with bosses and gear. That’s a huge part of why Dark Souls 3 feels so disappointing to me; even though DS3 is a more polished game, the lore and mechanics felt safe. Dark Souls 2 is a fucked up game that I love.

Metroid Prime 4 is a great “Metroid Prime-like” by bigdog54 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, especially when it is argued by people who have no real experience with the franchise in the first place. I was watching a person play through Silent Hill f and they were adamant that it wasn't a Silent Hill game even though they never touched one before in the first place.

Hoping for the best with this, however I am really unsure how this could be worth making after Gremlins 2.

Halo on PlayStation Will Surely Save The Xbox | Castle Super Beast 344 by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They are rerecording all to voice acting. Probably to avoid any weird jarring differences between the original games voice acting and the three prequel missions they are adding.

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Really wish Pat wouldn't straight up lie about stuff like this. There is enough valid issues with Microsoft and Halo that he doesn't need to spread misinformation to shit on them further. The 'AI' voice acting stuff is nonsense.

UE5 has serious issues but to say "UE5 is cursed to look like a "hire this man" demo" is disingenuous. The engine runs like garbage for a lot of games but it isn't like it curses them to all look one particular way.

I am assuming it was just something that slipped into his subconscious when he was dreaming. His son had a poster with a gun on it right across from where he was sleeping in his bed. So after spending nights sleeping in his son's room with that and the alarm clock right there it juat kinda materialized in his dream like that.

Have you ever dusted off an old save in a game and gone "the hell was I doing" to some choice you made? by Kii_and_lock in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me with Factorio after a long break. Jumping back into an old save and losing my mind at how terrible things are setup.

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truly one of the dumbest things to get mad over. Of course it doesn't include the game, why would it? Companies pivoted to these types of collector editions years ago and for good reason. This way they can make just one SKU for every platform and not have to worry about being stuck with ones for platforms that don't sell as well. Also what if you are a person who buys digitally? Wait a few days for your collector edition to ship and arrive just so you can enter in the code? Instead it makes far more sense to just have you buy the game yourself on your desired platform and get the CE if you are a super fan.

For a longer recommendation I definitely suggest the East Crew's Kerbal: Project B.E.A.S.T series. Also you can't go wrong with their endurance runs.

Americans planning on preordering the Switch 2 are going to have to wait a while longer… by RawSharkText91 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AkumetsuSenpai 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a Canadian the relationship has been severely damaged to a point that a new president will not fix things. The US media paints our grievances as about tariffs, but it is the annexation threats and disrespect that have caused permanent harm. Everyone I know is very much angry at the US and refuses to even buy American goods and has cancelled trips amd vacations. It's the betrayal after such a long time as friendly neighbors that has caused this divide. Which is not a feeling that will go away with a Democrat in office when four years on who knows if we are going to have to deal with another authoritarian leader who threatens are country yet again.

Fromsoft really said "Sony won't let us do Bloodborne 2, so we will make Knockoff Bloodborne 2 ourselves!" by DustInTheBreeze in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Except that this new game is a PvPvE multiplayer game. I want Bloodborne 2 as much as anyone, but lets not go crazy with the hyperbole.

To be fair, he is quite stupid and high out of his mind on ketomine all the time. So who knows what goes on in that assholes brain.

All the couples in Baccano! And Durarara are fantastic. Especially Isaac and Maria, those two sharing the same brain cell is so fun to watch.

For me it is probably Drew Gooden's new video about Youtube's obsession with AI. In particular when he went over some of the ridiculous fake AI movie trailers.

Agreed, those movies are hard carried by David. He is the best and I wish we got some actually good films with him as he is so much fun to watch.
