I’ve put nearly 200 hours into ER, primarily because the pacing of the mechanical escalation is damn near perfect until it’s not, suddenly.
“go grind a bunch so you can break even with the experience you *were* having up to this point” is the antithesis of engaging combat design
Across like 4 characters, Elden Ring just loses me entirely after Stormveil Castle.
Margit is a great “I’m gonna come back and whoop him” obstacle to overcome, and Godfrey is a climactic, horrifying Boss, but the difficulty spike that follows fries my interest completely
There’s no gradual increase in difficulty like it’s been up to this point, just a fuckin
WALL
of aggressive difficulty and a Google driven fetch quest to pump my numbers up so I can meaningfully progress again
it’s so severe it just breaks my immersion completely, every time
The break room at work is a small, poorly ventilated, windowless closet with an adjoining closet that houses the mop bucket
I rip colossal, earth shattering farts in that mop closet, in hopes that the overwhelming stench of pine sol will mask the shame of my spinach heavy diet
got here for the matinee, literally walked up as they were unlocking the doors lmao. Got this whole theater to myself, I’m so excited!
gamers, let us fuckin go
can I get some hell yeas in the chat please
The clicker stuff was actually amazing.
…but I fully I fell asleep for the first half of ep 2 though
which feels like its going to be a recurring theme with regards to my enjoyment of this show
“Deeply faithful, gorgeous to watch, kinda boring to listen to”
I’m 2 episodes in to HBO’s “The Last of Us” and like
clearly there’s a lotta money in this, the practical effects are amazing, the cinematography is gorgeous, but the script feels flat and hollow and I just do not *buy* Pedro Pascal’s Joel
Ep 1 was novel/cool, Ep 2 was… fine.
I hear episode 3 is supposed to be a fantastic love story and I am genuinely excited for that, but after that I dunno
so far it’s *so close* to the source material, that I’m questioning why I’m even watching it? I’ve played the game like 4 times, there are no surprises so far
