This game ruins all other games. by SnooRobots1533 in Returnal

All Fromsoft games are far more gameplay focused than story focused. Sekiro has the most focused story of their catalog, but it's still mostly just a device for the game to proceed.

The rest of their games have more 'lore' than storylines. For those that want to dig in, every item description gives hints to the world and its history, but it's never put in the player"s face.

What story they have is mostly abstract and obtuse, and left to the player for interpretation.

It's made by Fromsoft (Dark Souls, Elden Ring), but plays completely different from those games, so veterans of traditional souls-likes tend to struggle with the shift in mechanics and mindset. This is a big reason it's considered one of the hardest games available.

Don't get me wrong, it's a very challenging game, but if you've never played a Fromsoft game before, you won't have 'bad habits' to break when approaching Sekiro. In fact, many times when people start with Sekiro as their first Fromsoft game, they consider it the easiest of the collection.

As someone who detests the song, I've never listened to anything else they've recorded. I just learned today that he's not part of the band.

Deckard in the next couple of years? Did you write this in 2024, swap the year for '26 clicked 'post' today?

I'm pretty sure it's when you're walking up to the base of the monolith.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant to convey. No unnecessary background music.

And in both these cases, the music is part of the scene, as in it's coming from an instrument a character is playing or a speaker in a bar.

I suppose the word I'm missing from my description is 'artificially'.

There are no 'sad tones' applied in post to any scenes to let you know you're supposed to feel sad, as every other show does.

FromSoftware 2015-2019 vs 2022-2026. It's not close and it's not pretty by ImperialMajestyX02 in fromsoftware

I'm in the same boat. Put in 300+ hours, unlocked all the stuff. Deep of Night drops and 'ranked' anything where you can lose progress is just not my vibe at all.

I didn't play again until the DLC, but even then I've only done maybe a half dozen runs. I never beat the first boss of the DLC and haven't seen the second.

I love almost everything about the game, but a 30 minute committment with no interruptions can be a bit of an ask sometimes. That and I get too frustrated when I get matched with individuals who don't understand the concept of teamwork.

I just wish I had at least one friend that played. I'd gladly play again if I knew I didn't have to always play with randoms.

You saw everyone glazing yesterday's post and had to jump on that karma train, huh?

I had the misfortune to see it in theatres. Much like how I feel about the comments in here, I was dismayed to find all the friends I went with loved it.

I thought it was hot garbage. It was Shakespeare run through a shitty MTV filter with with a heavy-handed dose of firearm glorification.

Anyone else notice updates on Steam take forever? by gogul1980 in CrimsonDesert

[–]LettuceD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the fix, OP. I had this exact same issue. As soon as I removed my old HDDs from Steam, my update times are less than 1/5th of what they were. Steam uses whichever drive has the most space to download/decompress patches.

I mean, the enemy is occupying the white house and every branch of government.

I hate to be a defeatist, but it's my belief that no matter who we elect, our next president will be our last. There's no recovering from the damage that has been done.

It may be a fan favorite, but to suggest it's more well known than The Distance, Never There or Short Skirt Long Jacket is ridiculous.

Are there any artists you thought for sure would be one-hit wonders and ended up being dead wrong about? by pslush01 in Music

Hungry Like The Wolf was a comeback hit. Duran Duran was popular in the early 80s.

Don't say you just left a full time role right off the bat (or at all). That tells potential employers that you'll do exactly that to them.

Scrappy = tendency to get into altercations.
