One of the comments made a good point too -

Ok but there's one interesting thing about the souls games that helped my anxiety that wasn't quite touched upon but I think is worth discussion. Dark Souls requires and fosters a healthy relationship with failure. The subtitle of the first game "prepare to die" is not a warning or a challenge, its damn good advice. You will fail at some points, thats unavoidable, but it's not always a bad thing, when you die and drop souls you're encouraged to go back there to collect them, to try again, sometimes when you struggle with a boss, it's good to have runs where you don't nessasarily aim to win but instead to learn their patterns and experiment.

Failure can be devastating when you lose all your souls but you can't just load a previous save, you have to move on. And something I've taken surprisingly to heart, us that sometimes failure is unavoidable, that sometimes it will hurt, but we always need to keep moving, and most importantly of all sometimes failure is the first step to success.

Says "Unavailable. Video is Private"
Seriously Max?! Why set a simple opinion piece about Darkstalkers not being dead to private? I highly doubt you're upsetting Capcom or fans of Darkstalkers/fighting game fans? You even pointed out how Capcom was no longer trying the bait method of "if people don't buy this X game/collection, then people must not want X franchise to come back". I just don't understand why certain YTbers do this. They make the video public, only to make it private later within the week or same day!

Thanks for the heads up @Dalisclock.

Oh, I been knew already. I've been seeing Rising memes again since late 2021. There's a tons I've put in to the Gaming Jokes Thread. I am glad to see take on new life. I disagree heavily with Rising being underrated. The game sold great and met Kojima's expectations. It's only underrated, if you were one of the "professional gaming critics", and considered the game "average or not good". Most fans, old or new, did nothing, but praise the shit out of the game for its story, gameplay, and characters. The game already gotten the recognition it deserved from the regular gaming crowd.

interestingly enough, ive never actually playing through ff6.
IMO, it's one of the best if not the best FF, the first half is a decent adventure with a couple of fun twist and the 2nd half is non linear with a ton of side quest/dungeon. Great cast and visual, a bit disapointing as far as combat and character progression system (after FF5) but the large variety of character makes up for it.

I have heard nothing but good shit about the game absolutely. But I've just not really had access to a reliable system to play through the game. Though I suppose I can get the pixel remaster now.
