  • Starfield was garbage IMO. I didn’t even pay for it and wanted my money back in less than 3 hours.

    But I AM still hopeful for Elder Scrolls 6. The weakness of Starfield is exploration is barely a thing; incredibly boring procedural generation is the cause. There is little to no value getting excited exploring the world and the incredible world of Skyrim is what makes it good.

    I seriously doubt Bethesda is dumb enough to try procedural generation with the next elder scrolls game, and if they are then it will be dead in the water just by association. But a game similar to Skyrim will likely still find a stronger audience, even if just for the return to form.
















  • Personally, I felt like he was a more “normally” designed souls boss fight in a game that feels FAR better fighting human enemies. Once you get parry mechanics down you can kinda cruise through most of sekiro, but with demon of hatred he involves WAY more dodging and jumping in a game where those just don’t feel as good. Combine that with a huge healthbar, 3 phases essentially, and it was kind of exhausting to play compared to other bosses. It turned into a lot more trial and error like a normal souls boss, where you kinda just bash your head against them until you learn all the moves.

    Did I hate it? No. But I have no desire to fight it again. It was fun as a 1 off fight, whereas I would happily fight most of the major bosses in sekiro again no problem. It’s a fun change of pace (and I like how powerful some of your gadgets like the umbrella can be in that fight) but it’s not something I’d want to do again.




  • Thank you so much for the detailed guide. Did this expedition on a whim (got a steam deck and was trying games) and I think I’m at dropzone 3 or so. I haven’t touched underwater since NMS release, since I actually have Thalassophobia (fear of underwater stuff).

    How spooky would you say NMS underwater is, and how deep is it? Because I’ve been avoiding it out of fear that I’ll just nope out immediately.

    For reference I can’t go beyond the shallows in subnautica without panicking. Luckily, in NMS you can just shoot shit and its overall pretty easy so I’m less worried but trying to get a gauge on it so I don’t have a panic attack.
