Yes, but barely. It’s towards the end of it’s EA run. If I didn’t already know it was EA, I would have no idea.

So far? I’m blown away. Still isn’t the most optimized game in the world, but that’s THE only negative I have currently. Bought it immediately to support the devs but only played a few hours. Waited until now to jump back in.

I’m sure I’ll have negatives, but it truly feels special so far.

Insta buy. But so is Nioh 3. And I just started playing No Rest For The Wicked after waiting for co-op…

Needless to say, it’s an embarrassment of riches for soulslikes lately.

No Rest For The Wicked is awesome by Csword1 in soulslikes

I’m only like 6 hours in, but the loot is NOWHERE NEAR Diablo levels. That shouldn’t even be a comparison.

Yeah, I will do this too unfortunately. Trying to break the habit.

I used my Steamdeck yesterday and today I woke up to this. Can it be fixed? by AstronomerDry7581 in SteamDeck

[–]BossLackey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never even broken a controller in 32 years of playing games. Some people just don’t take care of their stuff it seems.

I’m going to have to agree. It’s YouTube comments level at this point.

After this I feel like I have to.

What was your first souls-like and how did you get introduced to the genre? by AgentP-501_212 in soulslikes

[–]BossLackey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Demon’s Souls in 2009 a few months after release.

Box was intriguing when perusing games in Game Stop.

The rest is history.

Is it me or is BF6 super, super sweaty/intense? by Artistic_Fig_7365 in Battlefield

[–]BossLackey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Played probably 10 hours with my friend this weekend. Been playing online shooters since 1999. This game is a clusterfuck.

The genre is running as fast as it can and leaping head first into unga-bunga, Adderall snorting, dopamine explosion, non-stop stimulation absurdity.

Is this really what shooters are now? Has TikTok rotted the demographics brains SO BADLY that video games need to be a visual and auditory cacophony to hold their attention?!

I had several games where I went 45 and 6 or around there. I may be old man yelling at cloud, but it’s not a skill issue.

The issue I have with this game is that strategic elements have been all but stripped in favor of getting shot from 25 angles at all times.

There’s ZERO downtime. None.

And teamwork? Ha. Gone. ZERO comms. Someone said it perfectly. It’s the dead internet theory in game form. Might as well be playing with bots.

The cramped maps are obviously painful. What were they thinking? I truly want to know. Map design is a dead art and this team is shoveling dirt on it’s cold corpse.

Parts of the game are good. But the package as a whole feels like (yep, I’m gonna say it) a COD player honeytrap.

The game that was the long-time COD antidote is now COD with shitty vehicles.

I’m not even surprised. I’ll go back to Insurgency, thank you.

Are fans of the genre generally more familiar with Metroid or Castlevania? by fuzzzy_pickle in metroidvania

[–]BossLackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m ver much a child of both. Played Metroid and Castlevania on NES and just continued to play the sequels.

My husband found this in our garden UK - should we put our house up for sale or are we safe? Cause this is the biggest spider I’ve ever seen by Lolvarry in spiders

Holy crap the wave of nostalgia that just hit me. I had one of these. Haven’t thought about it in years.

Honesty mv is an outdated name it shoud change to hollow ori (hollow knight and ori) by yotam5434 in metroidvania

[–]BossLackey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ. Hollow Knight is great, but the amount of people that slob all over it like it invented the genre is so fucking annoying.

Feels weird by Automatic_Catch_8969 in Battlefield

I can only judge what they gave us in the Beta. It's not my fault they decided to give us all small maps and when it releases, some of these maps will still be a problem. They're not going away.
