I've watched two LPs in a row where the protagonist ends up being crucified. I wonder what the odds of that are.
How does it compare to Forza horizon 5?Been playing Need For Speed Unbound now that I have a PC to play it on, and I got it on sale for $14. It's been an absolute blast.
Haven't played 5, but I did play 4. 4 is the more tight game in terms of its handling model and variety of races, but I know I had more laughs and more high stakes fun with UnboundHow does it compare to Forza horizon 5?
I'm surprised at the amount of hate it gets by some people, especially towards the flashy and fancy visual effects. It's like people stopped liking fun.
^Accurate.I tend to refer to Malekith as a sword wielding monkey on crack because that's what it feels like I'm fighting. I know he's a big wolf dude, shuddup. Yeah, he feels like one of the most difficult bosses in the game by far.
Aw man, still haven't finished "Transistor"... I might have a problem with buying games and never finishing them...How the fuckity fuck is Hades 2 out already???

Yeah thinking about it, the required bosses have a pretty upwards trajectory in terms of difficulty overall. Optional is all over the place in extremes, which makes sense. Malenia is one of those that is possible to cheese quickly with certain ashes or spells at a high enough level, or otherwise you’ll spend hours learning her to do it the hard way.^Accurate.
But teeth-gnashing difficulty aside, lore-wise, he's probably my favorite boss. He reminds me of Artorias from DS1, i.e.: a tragic figure who's more victim than villain who even at their worst is an absolute badass.
She gave him a taste of his own medicine!I've been walking past my Xbox all morning, avoiding it like it was the results to my test for a terminal illness in a sealed envelope. Finally grew some balls and went for another run at Maliketh in Elden Ring, and holy shit on a Triscuit, I beat him FIRST TRY! (Well, "first try TODAY," anyway; probably 6 or so if we're counting yesterday's failures.) Nothing went differently this time insofar as my level of skill or learning, just some real A+ RNG, and some skillful running and hiding behind pillars while Tiche pulled aggro and kept up whatever status she inflicts that caused Maliketh's health to slowly tick down pretty constantly. Matter of fact, it was his final leap AWAY from Tiche that incidentally landed him close to me where I panicked and hit an R1 to finish him off.

Heh... I was thinking of trying this one a game because I been mostly listening to music for recreation and I like to have something to play that doesn't require sound (obviously).Against all my better judgement I went and bought Balatro.
I've racked up 10,6 hours over the last 24 hours.
Yep, it's one of those. It's easily one of the smoothest, most tightly designed roguelikes ever. It literally took only seconds to install, but I could genuinely play it around the clock. It's extremely fast, intuitive, yet complexity and options abound. Despite its flash-game level graphics it has all the right effects in the right places to hit the dopamine drip. Getting that right synergy to carry you through the game, or getting that uber-mega combo with points racking up is like the primordial soup of videogames. It's basically perfect. Which is why I just uninstalled it. I simply can't have this in my life right now. I just went through this last year with Total Warhammer 2, and don't want to go through it again when I've got responsibilities to uphold.
I appreciate the kind words, but I'm not sure if I'd call it "patience." I really don't have a lot of time to play, maybe an hour or two every couple of days, so my +250 hours play time is really padded with idle time when I'd boot up my Xbox, start the game, and sit at a grace for hours while I worked only, playing for like 5-10 minutes at a time during breaks, or watched videos on how to get over the next hurdle. I'd say you could shave a solid 100 hours off if not more.Congratulations.
And I really respect your slow patient pace for this game. I burned through it and burnt out on all Souls games.
Then you are ready for Vergil in DMC5 on DMD, NO DAMAGE, NO DEATH, ROYAL GUARD ONLY!!!

Lol, not a fan of the DMC games, if I'm being honest.Then you are ready for Vergil in DMC5 on DMD, NO DAMAGE, NO DEATH, ROYAL GUARD ONLY!!! Talk to me when you are ready.
Don't worry, I'm mainly just pushing your buttons.Lol, not a fan of the DMC games, if I'm being honest.
