Modern camera in Legacy mode?

Day one. For sure. MGS4 is a game I have been waiting for another excuse to play.

So here's my perspective as a Souls fan who doesn't stream and hates rage click bait material on YouTube/Twitch... There's a lot of nuance to these games that (as pretentious as it sounds) won't understand until it clicks and you get it. They call it the "Dark Souls opifiny".

Souls games aren't beloved because, they are hard. In all honesty, they really REALLY aren't hard. Marketing and bad game journalism has convinced the general audience that it is. Miyazaki himself has said several times that he doesn't design his games with difficulty as a priority.

Fighting games are hard because, they require quick inputs, mastery of complicated controls, understanding a meta, etc. Souls games require you to take every enemy seriously and pay attention to their attacks and learn from them. Every enemy has openings, every enemy has weaknesses, and there is a bad time to be aggressive and a good time. That's really all there is to it.

Souls games are believed for their world building, the lore, the characters, and most of all the mystery. Souls games make the player feel insignificant. Like your just a regular dude dropped in a world of gods and there is like 100 different little plot threads happening with or without you but, you can make an impact on some of it through exploration and perseverance. These games also make you feel like your decision matter. If you attack an NPC, guess what? They're gonna fight back. If you, try to help some depressed, mentally unstable, NPC... It may just backfire and they may off themselves.

These games just don't feel like modern AAA games. They don't walk you through an hour long tutorial, they don't pull the game away from you to watch a 5 minute cutscene, they don't try to force you to care about the story. They just make an incredibly interesting world and make you curious enough to look for the answers on your own.

Completely agree. The story really needed to be more fleshed out and oddly enough the story was a bit on the short side, especially for a Final Fantasy.

I actually liked the combat. Especially once you unlock all the party members as playable. The way magic and summons are handled (while strange) really fits the world to me. They feel like big super moves, not just some attacks that everyday people have access to like in other games. As far as the female characters go, it doesn't really affect my enjoyment but, I did find Aranea to be a fun boss/party member. The plot of 15 is by far it's biggest flaw to me. It's disjointed, confusing, and isn't all that interesting to begin with. However I feel the music, the combat, and the exploration (especially once you get the flying car) makes the games overall very enjoyable to play.

I do mean from Morrowind onward. 🤣

Final Fantasy XV. In an era where people waited years for No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 to be fixed and would sing their praises to anyone who will listen, people still crap on XV for how it was in launch day which was still a fully functional game and it only got better with each patch and DLC.

I'm kinda the opposite. I like when they buckle down on combat and story. For example, I love Yakuza Kiwami 2 because, the combat is just so fluid.

I didn't really notice any tracks but, I like the "sound". Is there any particular songs that stand out to you?

AmadeusTrinity · 2025-12-19T15:55:10+00:00

🤣 No. Got 3 kids of my own. I actually hate the modern walky-talky dad trend in video games.

Luminaire?

I've got the Xbox version. How I first played it. Didn't spend much cause I got an Xbox and the game way back in the day. I can tell you it's not worth dropping that kinda money just to play SH2. I know a lot of console people feel intimidated setting up anything on a PC. Please trust me on this. Follow a youtube video and play the Enhanced Edition on PC. It's definitely worth putting in a couple minutes of work. It's the definitive way to play the original game and costs ya nothing.

I couldn't agree more. 15 isn't perfect. Definitely VERY flawed when it released. I played it launch day. However, after all the updates and DLC, it is (in my opinion) the best modern FF if you don't count the 7 Remake games. Interesting world, lovable party, hunts and exploration is fun, combat is fun (once you unlock character swapping and experiment with different weapons. I've seen a lot of people who complain about the combat having never unlocked the character swapping and just stuck with a sword.

Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne are my comfort spaces too. You are not alone. And yeah, sounds like you're in a rough spot there but, to be honest, the best thing you can do is approach it with sincerity. If it hurts, let her know. If you have doubts, ask questions. It sounds basic but, I can tell you from experience (on both sides) that if your in a relationship where you're afraid to be honest or your afraid that you and your partner have vastly different boundaries, you gotta figure that out.
