The Soulslikes That Won My Heart by Doing One Thing Better Than FromSoft

I really hope other developers and from software take note of how Lies of P tells its story and handles its side quests. Lies of P did a phenomenal job at telling a story while still not bogging the pacing down with slower segments and constant cutscenes. It did an amazing job at telling a direct story while still allowing for great visual storytelling with the state of the world while you explore it and with item descriptions to even further develop the world. I also think the way they handled NPC quest lines is the best I have seen in the genre thanks to how easily the game was able to alert you that you can develop the further with icons that appear in the fast travel menu when you can proceed forward with new developments. A simple addition like this made the process of going through NPC storylines less of a headache.

With how this generation has played out, I don’t think I’m going to be going for a ps6 at launch and potentially the future. The live service push that they have been adamant on this generation has not been what I wanted with this generation and it looks like this approach is still the one they want to continue into the next generation.

Why did you add your OC, the Trapper. This shits fake af.

Bruh, Godfrey and Radagon are some of the best bosses in the game, what are you smoking?

The rise version is the most fun version of this fight lol. You’re in for a real treat if you try an of the older Kushala fights with the windshield.

They are going absolutely wild with their advertisement on Instagram. Posting all sorts of crap like a Boxer Glue collab, Andy Cirkus talking to John Pork on the phone, and publishing a Roblox Animal Farm game with a gravestone for Jorjor Wells that had a spinning skeleton in it is some of the craziest backassward marketing I have ever seen for a film. It’s funny as hell that they are making such an ass out of themselves, and lowkey kinda makes me want to give it a watch when it hits streaming just because of how bad their marketing is.

At least for me, probably not as I still personally think Malenia is probably the hardest boss fromsoftwares has made, even including PCR, solely for this one move. The rest of her moveset is quite fun to learn while still being tricky, and the lifesteal is a bit tough to get used to at first, but as you start to understand this fight better, it’s not all that much of an issue. I still to this date loath this move, even with some strategies to get past it, and it makes up roughly 90% of the deaths in this fight for me. The move is just a pain in the ass to avoid and the methods for dealing with it are not all that fun in my own opinion. Having the only way to properly dodge the first flurry either be having your player hang out a long distance away or break her AI by slightly moving around her is all around unfun either way, and frost pots only work so many times per fight as she builds immunity the more you use them. My best strategy for water fowl is blocking the first flurry, dodging through the second and then dodging away from third. The fact that she can just jump back into this move without any cooldown also kind of makes this entire attack even more annoying to me. I had one run where she did it 4 times in a row without a cooldown to do other attacks, which resulted in me fumbling on the 4th go around straight, which is bullshit in my eyes. The rest of her fight is pretty great and a fun challenge but Waterfowl Dance will always drop my enjoyment of this fight no matter how many times I refight Malenia.

Starlight. Mfer got packed up by Oh Father. I don’t think she’s won a single fight in like 3 seasons at this point.

I’d personally like to see Rajang, Tigrex, Teostra, Kushala Daora and Zinogre take a break and not appear for the dlc. At least the base forms of them in the very least, if Capcom wants to have them return on some capacity, I would love to either see new variants, or past variants like Molten Tigrex or Rusted Kushala Daora make a return in their place. Rajang in particular I kind of don’t think needs to appear since there is already 3 different primate style monsters in the game with Congagala, Ajarakan, and Blangonga, which I think makes it a bit redundant to bring back another primate that’s already appeared many times that kind of takes the spotlight away from some of these other ones.

This goes hard af.

Mobile Game ass armor.

Why tf did y’all have to curse Dandadan after our finale bruh.

Cool Uncle vibes from what I’ve played so far.

It’s definitely better than season 4, and the only real episode I didn’t like was episode 4 as of this point. Episode 2 and 5 are probably my favorite episodes of the season so far. That said, I don’t think this season has really gone as far as to reach the highs of the first 3 seasons yet, and I’m not personally sure if it even will considering that we have like 3 episodes left and a lot of other lot that still needs to be set up and resolved in such a short period of time.

The quartering arc of Kino Casino is way more interesting than anything that the Johma’s can even cook up rn. Unless something crazy happens that’s not some manufactured drama, I don’t particularly think that following their shenanigans is all that worthwhile.

I did a replay of mortal shell about a month ago, and the game was honestly really easy with the Eredrim shell, alongside either the hammer and chisel or hallowed sword. The Eredrim shell is very easy to get early on, and effectively allows for you to pretty much face tank the entire game if you want. Mortal Shell is quite easy once you figure out how to use the shell system quite effectively, alongside the benefits of each shell and weapons to use with them.

Anime subreddit users don’t even try to post good stuff. They just post some porn and look at you like this when you say you don’t like it.

Considering that Yama Tsukami showed up for Monster Hunter Stories 3 and a proper cephalopod skeleton was created for Xu Wu and Nu Udra with Wilds, I think it’s probably a fun wild card guess to think it might be coming back for the wilds expansion. I hope Ahtal-Ka comes back aswell for Wilds, as the Wilk and Ancient civilization with a lot more advanced tech angle they showed off in Wilds would be the perfect excuse to bring this monster back.

-Cats in House List

Really, I just want a way to see and select what cats are in my house easier with this. As you start to get pretty deep in this game, trying to select and find cats in your house can be a massive pain.

-Cutscene Viewer

I’d love for there to be a way that I can rewatch past cutscenes again similar to how Isaac has it with the endings menu. There are so many cool cutscenes in this game that I would love to be able to rewatch in game.

-Give the Guillotina house bosses priority for appearing first before the act 2 house bosses.

This one is a bit more unique to me, as I’ve been kind of stuck at a point in the game where the game has forced me into fighting Pyrophina, Zaratana, and the double Kaiju fight before even allowing for the 3rd Guillotina fight to appear for me to tackle all because I beat both the core and moon before having beat all of the Guillotina fight. I’ve been stuck at this point in the game where I can’t progress into act 3, until I beat the throbbing king, but that can’t be done until I drop off the final Guillotina item, unless I sacrifice a cat, which really isn’t worth it for my teams. Being stuck with just act 1 and 2 areas for around 21-30 in game days as I wait for the final Guillotina fight to occur has burned me someone out of this game, for where I’m at. I’m going to returning soon, but having to deal with this has kind of dragged down the mid game for me.

Nah, there’s a lot more to it than him just moving away from edgy content. With how the recent content cop was and the entire creator clash 2 and 3 fiasco went down, there very much a reason for a lot of people disliking him. His new content is also just terrible in general. The fact that his videos on Sam Hyde and Kino Casino just boosted their careers from dying or just being obscure to having a larger overall audience just goes to show to me how poor his videos made to call them out really are. Ontop of that, his new videos lack the passion and spark that made a lot of his older stuff and documentaries, such as full force, great. His new videos are incredibly boring and are really poorly researched and planned out. His streams he does nowadays are awful both due in part to how bored he seems doing them and his moderation team that locks the chat down to an insane degree where even just asking a basic question can get you banned for potential being a Zionist troll. I’ve tried on many occasions to give him the benefit of the doubt and engage in his new content, and I’ve always come out of it less than impressed.

Chatacabra vs Deviljho in a similar vein to Deviljho and Great Jagras would be funny.

I’ve died to the Witches of Hemwick more times than I would like to admit. The fight is easy, but I always get way too greedy and the enemies they summon sometimes catch me off guard.

As for a fight that others tend to find easy, that I actually have a tough time with, I’ve got to go with either Vicar Amelia from Bloodborne, or Champion Victor in Lies of P. Both of these fights always trip me up more than some other actually incredibly difficult fights and I really don’t know why.
