  • I’ve beaten the original and the rerelease several times. it’s pretty generic but the combat animations are cool enough to give it a go when I’m bored. I usually play it on the hardest difficulty but the bow charged spread attack works like a shotgun so it’s very easy to stunlock enemies.

    It’s one of those games where you can overpower enemies quite easily if you prepare, I would not play it on easy though, if the story is bland and the combat is braindead, what’s the point of the game?







  • Yeah elden ring SotA, I finished all the bosses and all the content but 1 optional boss on saturday, and the last boss yesterday. Good dlc but the balancing is kinda whacky and is has the typical complainers about difficulty, the typical defenders that have not finished the dlc, and then people that have done all bosses that know that the last boss is the most overtuned piece of shit to be ever crafted in ER. The other optional hard boss (bottom right) is also kinda stupid but it’s optional and it does give you SOME breathing room, but the last one is just completely un enjoyable.







  • I agree, honestly. I also like specifications, but I don’t like the game to be inaccurately specified. I feel that it’s better if an umbrella term is used in the title instead of a more specific fake one, and then a short description describes how the game is played or what kind of experience I should expect in several words, instead of a single term. That, alongside screenshots, let’s plays, and all sort of resources are plenty help to decide if I should buy a game or not.

    RPG is used for games where you take the role of a character, and it should somewhat tell the story of either the character or the world around it. That alone differentiates some games from others like rocket league or fifa, where there’s no story, you don’t take the role of nobody that matters, what matters is the gameplay.

    Hack&slash was a term used for games where you killed tons of monsters with weapons, and then Diablo started using the ARPG term to say that besides killing tons of monsters, you also get to enjoy a story in a particular ambiance. Dark Souls games also fit the description where it’s more about the action than reading, but feel like a completely different genre, right? no isometric, itemisation is vastly different, the gameplay loop is completely different… This is why just reading ARPG means nothing to me nowadays, I have to dig into the description anyway.

    Another example, is “Ys origins” an ARPG or a JRPG? both? It has fast paced combat where you kill tons of mobs and a story, but it has a very japanese style, however, JRPGs are being known for having to manage a party and usually turn based combat, sooo? idk, a 3 line paragraph and 3 5 second clips would be much better than just a term for me.

    Sorry for the late response btw, I just forgot lol.







  • The thing those intensive programs are good at is doing a dietary reset, so that you can somewhat get used to eating healthy amounts of healthy stuff.

    Saying that they only thing that helps is adressing the everyday dietary habits sounds really pretentious, really. That’s the hard part, it’s really hard to change habits gradually for a lot of people, since dietary issues are almost like an addiction for them. Cutting cold turkey for a while and then reintroducing normal food slowly is a very effective way for some people to adresss their daily dietary habits.

    I literally could not control myself while eating for a long while, whatever dish, Pringles bag, fries bag I opened, I finished it on a single go. Whenever I was bored, I told myself that I would eat one or two, and suddenly it was empty. It’s really frustrating because I really was trying not to, and I tried so many times to gradually lessen the stuff I ate, count calories, whatever. It’s all moot. What actually helped me was doing a very intensive process for a week that helped me reset my eating habits, then began eating only healthy stuff, and forced myself to find healthy stuff that I found tasty too.

    Basically, those programs do have a function to exist.
