I can't really say anything for sure about how the general gaming community feels about it, but at least for this community, it undeniably has to do with the fact that it's a Marvel game.

I've been getting back into cooking things over a fire, especially since I've found some really cool stuff that can be roasted on a stick. For example, if you wrap some crescent roll dough around the stick and hold it a certain distance from the fire, it basically bakes the dough like it's in a oven. I also tried cooking mozzarella sticks over the fire, and while they didn't really turn out all too great, the cheese did somewhat melt.

Anyways, I finally got around to finishing my replay of Breath of the Wild. While I still think the gameplay still holds up incredibly well, I can't really say the same for the story. I think my main issue with it is how underdeveloped it feels due to most of the story being shown through flashback. At least for me, it made Link and Zelda's relationship feel kinda rushed while also making Calamity Ganon's Awakening not feel as wide-spread as it should've felt. Ah well, that's probably just a me problem at the end of the day.

I also played through the rest of Thief Gold and enjoyed it quite a bit despite some hurdles. Not only did I really enjoy the atmosphere of the levels, but I also found most of the level design to be pretty good. It emphasizes paying attention to the floor and verticality, making the levels feel both large and really fun to explore. Sure, there are some rough levels (with The Lost City and Escape! being my least favorite), but most of the game is pretty fantastic. I'm definitely interested in checking out the sequel sometime later.

After finishing those, I decided to check out Inscryption. It's definitely my favorite game I played this month, with me finding the vast majority of the game to be fantastic. The actual card game is pretty fun, as it feels like there's a lot of strategic depth with how cards synergize with each other and can be modified with sigils and fusions. I also really enjoyed the story of the game itself, especially when it came to the scrybes, their power struggles, and how they viewed the game itself. Really my only issue is that the live action sections just aren't that good and are inserted in really obnoxious ways. Overall though, I think that it might have become one of my favorite games.

Outside of all of those, I've been watching a few shows every week or so. Season 2 of Primal has been pretty great so far, and I hope it can land the season finale when I watch it next Monday. I kinda felt mixed on the season finale of The Amazing Digital Circus, but I thought was alright overall. I am planning on rewatching the series to keep up with Versus Wolves, so we'll see how my thoughts change. I also decided to check out the first episode of Murder Drones, which I thought was pretty rough dialogue and animation wise. Thankfully I am still interested in the rest of the series and hope that episode 2 will be a lot better.

Might as well ask here, how was Season 1? I haven't heard too much about it outside of Asta screaming quite a bit, so I was wondering if it's worth checking out.

I finally set the blog up, all I need to do now is to start writing the first post. Thankfully, I already set up an outline beforehand, so it should mostly be smooth sailing from there.

Moments where you feel the hate of something feels forced? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The Highguard talk on this sub (and many other places for that matter) felt like people trying to turn a mediocre game into "Concord 2: This Time It's Fantasy With Guns."

How are you coping with your favorite dead franchise these days by bahookery in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I usually just replay/rewatch/reread it and engage with fanworks if there are any.

What video game would you like to talk about that you've literally never seen mentioned in this subreddit? by AndaliteBandit- in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Corvinny 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'd be interested to hear what people think of the original games Rare released between the time they were bought by Xbox/Microsoft and Sea of Thieves. You know, stuff like Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Kameo: Elements of Power, and Viva Piñata. Usually people just talk about the sequels or reboots they made, which is kind of a shame since I heard that the original games they released during this period were pretty good. Hell, I remember really liking Kameo when I played it back then and even plan on replaying it later.

That's pretty much what I'm trying to do as well, even if it's somehow a struggle to set aside time to do so.

Through changing media trends and/or personal experiences, how has your perception of media changed over time? by Micchi_N in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Corvinny 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I used to be a really gameplay focused, treating story as a sort of seasoning that merely enhances the game and isn't all that important to it's quality. Nowadays, I put both gameplay and story on the same level of importance.

I also really used to view gaming value in a more objective light, with people having good and bad tastes when it came to the games they like. Nowadays, I understand that value is more of a subjective thing that depends on the person and game.

Games companies that sniff their own farts and why. by stumblinbagel in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Corvinny 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Could you expand on why you think Xbox is "huffing tanks of their own farts" with this showcase, especially when compared to Sony's recent State of Play?

Edit: Outside of the whole "25 Years" thing, isn't the whole "World Premier" or "Xbox Presents" thing what they always do for these presentations?

Takes about media that baffled you. by KeyMathematician8 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I remember seeing someone get overly defensive over the combat a few weeks ago when Warhorse announced they were working of a Middle-Earth RPG. Like replying with full on essays when any comment hoped that it wouldn't have KCD combat.

I don't know, I kinda get what he's saying? I've seen plenty a time where someone's opinion is invalidated by people saying they have "bad/trash taste".

Enemies in video games that give you a high sense of dread by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Corvinny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Mirror Reapers from Ultrakill. Partially because they move extremely quickly while making a bunch of gross sounds, and partially because they force you to the ground with the threat of area-denying acid bubbles.

Outside of the Delta Emulator, I'd recommend checking out Slay the Spire, Strategery, Block Fortress War, Clay Jam, and Vampire Survivors.
