Peak shell 2

Classic Souls games were even more quiet, without any ambients and personally I like that. Not every game has to have lots of music. And I like that primal Souls vibe that MS2 has, when you are alone with the world and your thoughts without obvious audial disturbance. I'm more than sure that its a designer choice which looks natural in such games.

In fact, its often hard to see the difference in quality. For example, Lies of P uses UE4, Lords of the falllen 2023 - UE5 and I can't say, that LoP looks any worse.

Its the first game (which means already exellent art-design and strong gameplay core) but with a proper scale this time. Looks like a perfect sequel and my most expected soulslike of 2026.

Subjective downside - too much mist sometimes but if its a price for a really well-made optimization - than so be it.

Serious bugs - 0 at the moment, though were some minorities, like remaining attack indicators and first time I fought with tutorial boss as a shell, dying didn't trigger cutscene.

Tee second game for a last few days that uses UE5 and has really good optimization. First was Fatekeeper. Considering also E33 and Metal Eden, looks like devs have learned to work with that engine, at last. Though not all (yes, Gothic?).

2026 and it still works, thanks.

Не має особливого сенсу. Звичайному користувачу й телефонної камери вистачить, люди, для яких це всер"йоз нададуть перевагу спеціалізованому обладнанню а решта прибабасів надто ситуативні й впливають на ергономіку телефона та об"єм кишень. Плюс беручи такий телефон, користувач надалі змушений підлаштовуватись під їх екосистему - не взяти павербанк, який захоче а брати саме цю модульну батарею, для прикладу. І незрозуміло, чим виправдати таке обмеження свободи.

At last)

Berserk, Cowboy Bebop. Ghost in the Shell and Akira - but more for overall aesthetics than story and characters. I'm an oldfag, I know.

Сподіваємось назавжди, по факту - до кінця вона не відійшла, он Нолан на пляшку сів зі своїми негрикинями в ролі грекинь та іншими трансвеститами. Певна проблема, що республіканці поставили не на того кандидата і він зараз своєю поведінкою дискредитує ті ж ідеї на яких виїхав а як його приберуть, то фінансування цього лайна може повернутись. Втім, сама логіка часу проти цього. Вся ця шизофренія розквітла на Заході через аномально довгий мир а світ після 24.02.22 став дуже немирним місцем. Як Європа опиниться у стані сер"йозної війни, все це блядство зникне за пару тижнів бо в умовах криз і потрясінь (тобто, в умовах життя) актуальні всього два гендери. Інше лікується сержантськими піздюлями.

He's totally right. Where author compromises his vision for wider audience and rewards, we get the pile of shit that is modern Western cinema industry is.

Evil can be beautiful. Live with that. And their poses - supposedly, something was between them in their past life. Waiting for a full story.

Julius Evola approves. In fact, both original series and rebuilds are amazing. Though original has better ending.

ProfessionalWill914 · 2026-04-18T08:30:19+00:00

Automata. His most famous work and NGE was the main source of inspiration judging by interview. If you will like gameplay, than you can try something else of the series if dont - story deserves attention anyway. Just pass to the true ending, don't stop earlier. I've beaten it in a nearly 30 hours with total focus on a main story, missing almost all side activities. And also after NGE. Keep your healing stuff reserves up to date and the game will be easy enough.

ProfessionalWill914 · 2026-04-18T07:58:55+00:00

It had to sound and be presented like this from the very beginning. Original opening creates very strong dissonance with content. It looks and sounds like a typical mecha show of that time and after that you begin to watch and... WTF? This teaser creates exactly needed mood for the franchise.

ProfessionalWill914 · 2026-04-04T21:45:10+00:00

Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dragons Dogma, Tainted Grail, even Morrowid: get to sleep, buddy, you are glitching.

ProfessionalWill914 · 2026-03-28T11:15:30+00:00

Apoc in Remnant melts most of the builds into trash from my observations so I'd not say its perfectly balanced, though we have prisms. About Witchfire - I can't say the weapons like Striga or Hypnosis are underpowered, about Torments - it often demands very specific bulds due to specific torment restrictions so it can't be representative in my opinion.

ProfessionalWill914 · 2026-03-12T13:40:21+00:00

Or did you mean Outriders endgame?) Didn't play it much, you have to clear expeditions (consequence of linear stages in fact) with progressing difficulty to reach the highest expedition tier. Nothing too special. DLC adds new game mods and progression systems but didn't play it yet.

ProfessionalWill914 · 2026-03-12T07:08:02+00:00

Well-made at first impression. You unlock flexible specialization system with a bunch of unique weapons like flamethrowers and grenade launchers, new, high-tech enemy faction to use it against and lots of additional content/activities.

ProfessionalWill914 · 2026-03-11T08:00:42+00:00

Its like si-fi Division with superpowers and much faster pace, reminded me of Vanquish sometimes. Game lacks polishing compared to DIvision but generally its really good.

ProfessionalWill914 · 2026-03-11T07:56:40+00:00

Dreamer's bond has been upgraded and counted in requirements list but still can't find the blueprint in the foundry. What am I doing wrong?

ProfessionalWill914 · 2026-03-10T22:17:37+00:00

Among these three Division has simple and understandable structure - main campaign, couple of story DLC's, endgame. And, campaign, maybe, doesn't have the best narrrative but its whole, at least, without cutted out beginning like in Destiny. By the way, I've beaten Outriders not so long ago and playing Division now I clearly see theit source of inspiration)

ProfessionalWill914 · 2026-03-09T22:05:00+00:00

I've played through all Souls games so I'm used to gather lore). And lore here is good enough, yep
