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 your friend enjoyed it.

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.

The hands, specifically the two giant fingers, really creep me out.

Currently, Helldivers 2. It’s tough, but chaotic fun at its best. Frustratingly unfair at its worst.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe they should have given their resume instead of a cv. No one wants to read a cv.

Taken at face value, I can see the argument here. However, the reality is that the Oil Industry has spent disgusting amounts of money lobbying (bribing) governments and organizations in order to slow or outright kill programs related to clean energy or anything related to weaning off of oil. They are 100% part of the problem. So fuck’em.

Hah. I was going to say the same thing.

You should seek help.

“may have been”

Hottest so far.

Well that sucks. I was excited for the refocused nature of this sequel too. Guess I’ll skip it now.

Is there any word on when lemmy.world will be updated to 0.18? I really hate scrolling through the feed, because of the auto-refresh. And I saw that auto-refresh was removed in 0.18.
