squirrelwithnut,

Elden Ring is the best one for beginners, because if you get stuck at a boss you can just leave that area and go somewhere else. You are very rarely ever “stuck”. That is not the case with any of the other Soulsborne games.

In addition, it has spirit summons which make the game significantly easier.

And since it’s the newest one AND has a DLC coming out soon, it’s also the most played one right now. So finding other players for co-op is easy.

I also consider the bosses, on the whole, to be the easiest of all of the FROM Software games.

squirrelwithnut,

Yeah you’re right. I forgot to mention that with Elden Ring, FROM smoothed away a lot of the rough edges of the older games. And because of that it is much easier to get into for newer players. I’m glad you friend enjoyed it.

squirrelwithnut,

No, it’s not?

squirrelwithnut,

Man, they really do not have people that are good at making things do they?

squirrelwithnut,

They’re not already?

squirrelwithnut,

Ghost of Tsushima. PS5 only for now, but it’s coming to Steam (finally!) in May. It’s an amazing game. Great story, extremely good combat, and it looks beautiful. Plus it has a separate coop multiplayer mode that is better than some dedicated multiplayer games. Don’t skip it.

squirrelwithnut,

*Baldly going

squirrelwithnut,

I actually liked Anthem, and I wish it would have gotten more support to fix some of the problems. I think it had way more potential than some other GAAS that have come out recently. (cough Suicide Squad cough)

The worst part about it for me was the really bad net code. Enemies would teleport around, shots wouldn’t register or register too late. And their relative damage system didn’t seem to work properly most of the time. It made the combat feel bad, but you could tell that the combat that was there would have felt amazing had the net code been refined a bit.

There were other smaller problems too, but nothing that couldn’t have been addressed in patches. It really is a shame EA gave up on the game.

squirrelwithnut,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I’ve tried Warframe several times and I just can’t get into it. The combat and movement feel too floaty to me, and I’m not a fan of the artificial wait times for getting or crafting gear. Story is also important to me to some degree, and there wasn’t really anything in the way in interesting characters or plot hooks in what I played. I know a lot of people like the game, but I don’t think it’s for me.

squirrelwithnut,

Yeah. The movement is what I’ve seen unanimously praised by people that like the game. I dunno, it’s been several years and several major patches/expansions since I’ve tried the game. Maybe I’ll give it another shot eventually. It’s F2P, so might as well try it every once in a while to see if it clicks.

squirrelwithnut,

That’s great news. I’d love to finally be able to play Half-Life Alyx.

squirrelwithnut, (edited )

Ok, Sony. Then where the fuck is Ghost of Tsushima PC then? I’ve already platinumed it twice on my PS4 and 5, and I still want to give you more money to play it again. Why the fuck is the PC port still not out yet?

Repeat above for Bloodborne. Why has Bloodborne not been remastered for PS5 yet or ported to PC? You’re literally leaving millions on the table by letting that game wither.

squirrelwithnut,

Last Epoch. It has the best crafting and best skill system of any ARPG IMO.

squirrelwithnut,

And it has an actual endgame, leaderboards, and it’s half the price of Diablo 4. It’s a no-brainer IMO.

Elden Ring is getting a free-to-play mobile version with in-app purchases (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Action-RPG colossus Elden Ring is reportedly getting a free-to-play mobile adaptation with in-app purchases, which takes inspiration from miHoYo’s Genshin Impact. It’s being published by Tencent, who apparently acquired the licensing rights to Elden Ring back in 2022 and put a few dozen people to work on a prototype, even as...

FROM’s and Elden Ring’s good names will be forever tarnished with this bullshit. Even if, and it’s a big if, this turns out to be a decent port it still feels really, really gross. This is really disappointing.

squirrelwithnut,

How nice of Microsoft to let the PS community be as disappointed in Bethesda as the rest of us.

squirrelwithnut,

Having not played the first game at all, this trailer looks even more ridiculous (in a bad way) than the first one did. The graphics certainly look amazing though.

squirrelwithnut,

That’s true, it was definitely unique. I’m glad it was made too.

squirrelwithnut,

Breathe of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are at the top of that list for me. The “old” style Zelda games are objectively better in terms of pacing and exploration. And I absolutely hate the weapon durability system in the better ones. I’ve read their reasoning behind it, but they’re wrong. It sucks and makes the game more about hoarding the good weapons and avoiding combat whenever possible, which is boring as shit.

squirrelwithnut,

When’ are we going to get Ghost of Tsushima on PC, Sony?

squirrelwithnut,

There is no difference

squirrelwithnut,

I really enjoyed those games back when they came out, and I don’t mind the idea of a remaster in general… but I really don’t want to see certain scenes from those games in HD with remastered models/lighting. Some of them were absolutely brutal, but they were tolerable due to the “gamey” graphics.

God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story (comicbook.com)

Despite being nominated for numerous awards and even winning Game of the Year in 2018, the creator of God of War, David Jaffe, is not a huge fan of the new direction the series has gone in. Jaffe himself hasn't worked on these new God of War games, but thinks that they're not staying true to the spirit of the character and the...

squirrelwithnut,

Welp. I don’t know what to say other than he’s the creator and he’s completely wrong.

squirrelwithnut,

I don’t care why they do it. I won’t say no to more Golden Axe.

squirrelwithnut,

Metroid Prime or Mass Effect

squirrelwithnut,

This is why we can’t have nice things.

squirrelwithnut,

Yeah… having played the game, they really need to focus on fixing it rather than releasing new content. There are game breaking bugs, huge performance issues, and terrible lag when playing coop. It’d be nice if they fixed those things first before they spend any time on new stuff.

squirrelwithnut,

I love Souls-likes. I’m looking forward to this one, but I’ll wait for additional patches to fix the performance issues.

squirrelwithnut,

Last Epoch. The campaign isn’t anywhere close to as good as Diablo, but the crafting and end game is way, way better. Despite it being in early access, it’s very polished already. I’m having a lot of fun with it. I’m looking forward to 1.0 in December.

squirrelwithnut,

Not going to lie, I haven’t played a competitive shooter in years, but I used to play the shit out of CS back in the day. I kind of want to jump into this again.

squirrelwithnut,

Fewer than infinity is still infinity. That being said, the Starfield deep dive from the other day made the game look amazing. I hope it's good.
