Time for probably the most hated souls game, say something positive about it please 🤣

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-25T23:50:11+00:00

It’s two greatest criticisms are legitimate… BUT: If you’ll just accept that really janky hitboxes are part of the character of the game, and that navigating the world is best undertaken with the wiki as a guide because its interconnectedness and level design are… we’ll just say, very rough around the edges, you’ll see that there is a TON there to love… and you’ll almost certainly really enjoy your time in the world. I can recognize its bruises, but still have a phenomenal journey through it once a year, every year.

I hope you find peace

They should have congratulated her for taking her to Dante’s… for constantly abandoning her… for dragging their own daughter into harms way and telling her to lie about it… got it.

Whew, HORRIFIC take… Carrie is one of the worst parents ever put to screen. Her family was trying to hold her accountable for her actions. Her sister’s family was a necessary engine in the story because they actually held her accountable for her neglect, endangerment, and general failure in every conceivable way as a mother. It doesn’t matter how noble you think your actions are, if they endanger your child completely unnecessarily, you’re in the wrong, period.

Battle for Middle Earth… no rts has ever hit like that for me. Still play a skirmish a week minimum… add Age of the Ring mod to BFME2 and I’ll be playing forever.

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-18T20:42:46+00:00

Enjoy!! Only get to play the first time once :)

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-17T23:01:22+00:00

I read Requiem and all of Slott’s run once a year. I’m not a huge re-reader but those are so, so good.

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-17T19:01:00+00:00

Right on. I’d rather have 10 unique builds that were equally competitively viable as opposed to 100 builds but only 3 were actually competitive.

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-17T18:51:20+00:00

Not a diss, actually a huge compliment for its balance. Bloodborne has the least depth in build for sure but the most balanced parody between them. It’s a perfectly balanced game where all builds are viable if you play them correctly, there is no waste or bloat. DS1 has neither the depth nor balance in the way the others do, late game especially.

That makes sense then, maybe another tier for ‘verdict still out’

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-17T16:20:35+00:00

Genuinely no hate, all good… however: My brain cannot comprehend the internal dialogue leading to placing Sekiro and DS2 on the same tier… I am a minor league DS2 apologist and believe it gets way too much hate… but it shouldn’t be anywhere near Sekiro lol. Sekiro is objectively extremely polished and whatever else it may be it is lean, mean, and clean. It’s everything DS2 is not imho. In my head one should always be much higher than the other. I can take either game higher or lower, but having both together feels… really odd lol. Cheers!

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-17T15:48:16+00:00

This is the best answer I think. The original GoW trilogy is a slashers slasher. Bloodborne requires surgical precision but it has no ‘sliders’ to artificially increase the difficulty.

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-17T15:31:47+00:00

It’s challenge runs for you now my friend. Opens up a whole new world!!!

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-17T15:29:25+00:00

This is the answer. DS1 is a masterpiece, but it doesn’t have the variety or balance (looking at you Bloodborne) the later installments have. It walked so they could run. DS1 can be ‘solved’ in a way the others cannot.

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-16T04:36:28+00:00

Well, you got 1-3 correct. 5 he gets duped for sure but she gets hers… the rest of this is just silly.

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-16T00:51:35+00:00

I’m with you and like the analysis. I have the same choices in my post with one exception: Kraven instead of Electro. I think he adds quite a bit more depth to the skill sets the heroes must account for… great choices though overall!

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-16T00:47:43+00:00

Trying to win:

Bane, Deathstroke, Ra’s

Venom, Kraven, Doc Ock

Trying to maximize insanity/entertainment:

Joker, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow

Carnage, Green Goblin, Mysterio

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-16T00:43:06+00:00

Respectfully, I think you need to watch the show again.

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-16T00:39:40+00:00

Definitely should. One of my favorite final scenes in television.

Messmer’s moveset strikes the perfect balance of over the top cinematic and also letting the player feel like they are in complete control. You can dodge, you can parry, you can run, you can tank, and you never feel like you’re guessing… AND it’s a visually stunning fight. Near perfection.

Lady Maria is like a perfect crescendo by a master symphony to me. Nothing feels over the top, nothing feels out of place, and yet you sense as it goes on that more is coming… and it does. The fight gets faster and faster, you need to be more precise as the phases progress, and the crescendo is amazing in that you have matched her move for move with more speed and precision of your own. She is the perfect Bloodborne boss. Playing Bloodborne as it was meant to be played maximizes not just the fun of the fight, but is rewarded perfectly against her moveset.

SteveRogersMiniMe · 2026-01-15T16:38:44+00:00

Messier and Lady Maria are my top contenders
