I think it's because the first time you fight them you get destroyed, but as you continue and understand the strategy, it's really easy to gain respect and admiration of the boss design. Plus things like their appearance, setting and music are all phenomenal.

20. Beat an action game

Gravity Rush 2

So uh this game was a bit of a mess. I liked the first one a lot as a cute little game with unique gameplay. This one felt really hit and miss though. There was a ton to like, but I also feel like there were some major flaws. Especially in the pacing and gameplay variety, but I definitely need some more time to dwell on it.

While I definitely think Bloodborne has the cooler lore with a lot more secrets. I still vastly prefer Dark Souls. Either way both are great games and I'm looking forward to DS3.

So I beat Dark Souls awhile ago, but kept delaying my write up because I was continuing to play the game, going so far as to actually get every achievement. Which is something I've done with only a handful of games. As you can tell I really liked it!

I think Dark Souls' biggest boon for me was the lore. I love how the entire game is crafted around this concept of how impermanent life is. Everything from the gameplay to the final boss and even to some areas all center around this one theme and every time the game proves that nothing lasts forever. It's really depressing, but still intriguing and I can't help, but love it for that. This is definitely and example of video games as art for me.

I also really like the addicting gameplay. I've seen so many people talk about how hard the game is, but I really don't think it was that hard. As long as accept that you will die at various points you'll be fine. The game encourages you constantly to try new things by presenting a good variety of obstacles. While still having an open map to let you route out your own path. The fact that you can skip the first four areas in the game without using glitches blows my mind.

Then there's secrets. Holy shit, things like Ash Lake, Gwyndolin and the Painted World are so freaking cool. I love the idea that you can playthrough the game with no idea of their existence and then just stumble upon it by accident or even by reading up on the lore.

Oh yeah and then there's the online play. Recently we've seen a lot of games that don't need multiplayer, but often receive it anyway. I'd say Dark Souls didn't really 'need it' either, but goddamn is it cool and elevates the game even further. I love how much of a variety you can have when interacting with other players. You very rarely have to worry about the PVP and can just read soapstone messages if you want, or you could summon friends for boss fights or you could just turn it off all together. It really is perfect impletation, and has really helped build a dedicated community that is really fun to interact with on different forums.

This was such a great experience and definitely one of my favorites games now. Although I will say I don't know if I'll play the rest of the franchise. I do at least intend to play Bloodborne and maybe DS3, but the rest just don't seem like something I'd be interested in and that's a bit of a shame, but I am at least hoping Elden Ring can pull me in once we actually see it.

I think the only thinking keeping Crono and Sora lower for me is that we literally just got Sephiroth. I doubt we'll get another Square character on top of him.

I'm rooting for Phoenix personally. The only new Capcom rep we got for Ultimate was an Echo. So we're pretty overdue for a new one.

I think what helps it for me was my buddy got us some tickets to an early screening. So that was a really fun time. I saw it like two more times once it came out for real too.

Now that I think about it I've only seen 3 MCU movies in theaters more than once and they just happen to take up the Top 4. I wasn't really seeing movies in theaters when the other one came out, or I probably would have!

I disagree with this, like in the car scene for example, I couldn't really imagine like Sandman or Doctor Octopus there, I feel like the tone would take on a whole different meaning.

I mean yeah the setup would be a little different, but I feel like most of the intimidation there comes from it being Michael Keaton and not Vulture. Like I think Norman Osborn could've fit that scene very well. I also think it doesn't help that the real source of conflict in Homecoming is Peter himself.

I think Keaton puts in the better performance, but they do way more with Mysterio as a character. You could switch Vulture out with any other villain and still get the same movie.

In regards to Vision

I'm pretty sure he's still technically dead and Wanda just gave him 'new life'. I guess what I'm saying is it's not actual Vision, but rather a new Vision that was created based on Wanda's memories and placed into his corpse. Hence why he can't leave her bubble and why he didn't initially save his boss back in the first episode. He's just gradually gaining more independence as the show continues.

I think Dark Souls and its From Software contemporaries like Bloodborne are the most successful translations of the "metroidvania" concept into 3D that I've played. It's definitely really cool how many different options you have to approach the game, not just in terms of alternate paths and secret items but just how many character customization and weapon choice options you have in general. Incidentally, I love the Zweihander and have done more than one run where I charge into the graveyard to pick it up as soon as I get to Firelink Shrine, pump my strength until I can use it, and then main it for the rest of the game. Which class did you start as, and what kind of stats are you focusing on? Any weapon preferences so far?

I was totally thinking about that too! Once you start getting the shortcuts, the map gets a really nice flow to it. I also got some serious Super Metroid vibes after returning the Lordvessel.

I've been doing a tankier build, but I use Havel's Ring so I can still roll. My strategy with bosses pretty much boils down to run at them, dodge the first hit and just wail on them. The Black Knight's Sword deals crazy damage, while Havel's Armor keeps me alive long enough to heal if necessary.

Overall I'm really enjoying it. I've been playing it nonstop and am having a blast. I'm nearly done with the game at this point and haven't even touched Deus Ex as the back up. I've got two Lord Souls left, I've beaten Bed of Chaos and Seath. I'll probably do a pretty expansive write up once I beat it.

Glad it's finally out. Surprisingly I'm actually kind of fine with the Mandarin twist. I just wish they actually went somewhere with it. Like they really needed to show the real Mandarin in the movie. Not just say oh Killian was the Mandarin the whole time then retcon it later. It really just makes the whole movie feel like a waste of time.

I will say, I think Adam McKay deserves a lot of credit for the rewrite he and Paul Rudd did on Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish's script. The reason Wright (and Cornish) left the project was because Marvel effectively rewrote the personality out of his last draft - however McKay deliberately kept as much of Wright's voice as possible, and I do think that comes across. I also think that he and Rudd are the reason that fairly cynical sounding additions like the Falcon scenes actually fit well with the final film. It's a shame he didn't return for the sequel and I think it misses him as well.

Ah thanks for the info on that! I totally thought the Luis stuff was him as well. I really enjoy trying to find and determine little nuances like that.
