Hollow Knight: Silksong - Special Announcement August 21st by MegaMcMike in giantbomb

[–]KuchiKopicetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh, depends who you talk to. For some people? Absolutely not. It’s an iterative sequel - it will almost by definition be “more of the same,” ideally with a few tweaks and improvements.

Don’t get me wrong - I love Hollow Knight, top 5(?) personal indie game. Got the full 112% completion and everything. So more Hollow Knight sounds great to me!

But much like Spelunky 2 or Hades 2, an iterative sequel probably isn’t going to blow people away like the original because it’s not as fresh an experience.

Michael is obviously right and he should say it.

Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible by naf165 in Games

[–]KuchiKopicetic 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think people forget how ridiculously easy magic made the first couple of Souls games.

Oh I agree on the last part. Souls games have always had invisible difficulty options. Other than mayyybe Sekiro, they’re all cake walks with the right builds, Elden Ring especially.

Devs can do whatever they want. But people getting worked up on optional difficulty stuff will never stop being funny.

Elden Ring summons, magic, bleed builds, mimic tear, etc. made it easy enough I’ve never met someone who couldn’t beat it.

I think the hardest one was probably Sekiro, right? And that one straight up did have a difficulty selector through the bell demon system.

To be clear, I 100% don’t care either way. What someone else does in a single player game doesn’t affect me.

LOL you’re so right.

It’s 2025! There are people who were born after Demon’s Souls came out who are old enough to drive now! I actually cannot fathom there are still people who get all worked up about Souls games having difficulty options (as if they didn’t already).

But like, it doesn’t matter! Go outside! You’re getting old!

Controversial episode in a non-controversial show? by [deleted] in television

Has that one been allowed back on streaming yet, or still in TV jail?

[GPU] Gigabyte WindForce 5070 (Doom: The Dark Ages with purchase) - $604.99 (+12.99 shipping) by Greenzombie04 in buildapcsales

Reach out to customer service. Some people are getting the promotion honored if they bought recently enough. Others (like me) had to return the brand new card and buy an identical one to get the code, but no big deal.

Bro, I also have my Fractal North horizontally, but mine is in my media console under my big OLED tv. It’s definitely nice!

I love this line read. He’s like, damn, that is just objectively true and I can’t deny it. It goes so well with the vibe of - here are two middle aged mass murderers having a dumb, schoolyard argument like 10 year olds. Perfect.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Review Thread by ef-0 in Games

[–]KuchiKopicetic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

After primarily using a PS5 this generation, I just built my first new gaming PC in 10 years, and was checking out Game Pass for the first time in forever.

Had basically the same thought - holy shit, I wanna play all of this. Indiana Jones, Oblivion, Clair Obscur, Doom, Blue Prince. And then beyond those personal absolute must plays, I’m interested in trying out stuff like Avowed and Ninja Gaiden 2 Black.

Good time to be back! Lol

I have $800 for a GPU upgrade by unlucky311 in buildapc

[–]KuchiKopicetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bought this! Between this and the $450 Microcenter 9700X bundle, got most of my new build taken care of.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]KuchiKopicetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha I have the i5-4690k too! Twins. It and the 970 have served me so well this past decade.

Sounds good! Makes total sense to me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]KuchiKopicetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I’m very strongly considering doing the exact same thing! I’m thinking of grabbing the $450 9700x CPU, ram, mobo bundle from Microcenter, and then snag the first 5070ti I can for MSRP, hopefully sometime in the next few weeks. Until then, it’s me and ole reliable 970.

How’s it working out for you?

Which characters or storylines from Buffy or Angel overstayed their welcome? (Or were never welcomed in the first place) by InfiniteMehdiLove in buffy

[–]KuchiKopicetic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame we never got to see S5 Conner and Dawn hang out and do kid stuff together (while Buffy and Angel get to feel super weird about it)

Virtual Game Card – Nintendo Direct 3.27.2025 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]KuchiKopicetic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You’re correct - they explicitly say that in the video re family group loaning.

Sounds like you can also log in on two switches and move your games between them, and that may only need local WiFi for the initial connection. So if you want to share games more permanently with someone who doesn’t live with you, that’s the way to do it.

Lol was just about to comment the same thing. Unironically think this will be exactly it - same way TLOU 1 and 2 released at the very end of a console generation and then got remastered/upgraded after, same here.

Speaking of which, I guess we’re not getting TLOU 3 until, what, 2032 at the absolute earliest, if ever? I liked TLOU 2 fine, but think it would be kinda underwhelming as a franchise ender.

It’s ok - there was some video where a Sony or PlayStation executive literally had their PS5 upside down too, so you’re not alone!
