I would guess that the theoretical model was to actually go on forever and have full BC if they ever felt a need to make successors. Like even if they stopped selling "Stadia 1" games altogether they would still be playable in that event.

I literally asked how it was different than an awkward (ctrl+f awkward) Trump comment and you argued with me that it was different because its something a normal person would do.

So you agreed it was awkward while specifically arguing with me asking how its not awkward.

Sure, Kev Good talk.
Dude, quit being obtuse and point out where anyone else said it wasn't even a little awkward. You asking how it's different than a hypothetical generic awkward example of indeterminate degree is not the same thing by a long stretch.

Whether you meant to or not, you came out swinging hard and then act like you didn't. This isn't new. You're either doing it on purpose to troll or you are so poor at communicating you think you're saying things you aren't.

Thats not shifting goalposts, lmao. I said its cringe and you said it was normal. Then I said its weird you cant even acknowledge its awkward.
No one ever said it wasn't awkward. Ctrl+F "awkward" if you really don't believe that. You literally want someone to agree with you without acting like you didn't say what you actually said in the first place. So sure, it's awkward. Take the morsel of validation if you need it that much.

Alternatively, if your first post had said something like "here's an awkward Biden moment" then I highly doubt you would have gotten any pushback.

One, that's a tremendous goalpost shift when what you gave us to start with was "maybe one of the most cringe moments in recent memory". We're still in an election cycle with Dr. Oz for crying out loud.

Two, yeah, people post things without comment. If it's an option for you to do the same and be a-okay with no follow-up then by all means please do so.

What makes that different than when we share cringe shit right wingers do? Like an awkward Trump at a Rally quip?

What makes it different is that it's a mistake a normal person could make under the circumstances and not related to a political position at all. Trump moments tend to fit into at least one of those.

But even more than that: What makes your sharing of it different than many other people sharing similar things here is you want to share a "cringe moment for totally no reason wink wink" and you can't even make a joke out of it. Hell, you could have stolen one of the many jokes people have made about it but you couldn't even be bothered to do that.

Unfortunately I only had access to SotFS, and I'm not sure if I'm far enough yet for any differences to matter, but I'll put up spoilers in case Andy plans on playing it.

It's pretty interesting that the level design seems to be a lot harder than the bosses have been so far. I haven't died too much yet, but there's so many in this first level that it's kind of hard to keep up with, especially with the limited healing items. Also making you return to Majula just to level up is going to be a huge pain. Such an odd choice for them to actively take a step back like that. I will say managing to be Dragonrider while missing Emerald Herald was pretty rewarding though
DS2 has the worst bosses on average by far except maybe DeS. That's not to say there's nothing of value there but for a series that otherwise does so well there it really comes up short.

Nothing as abjectly awful as Bed of Chaos, though. Like you could argue there are more lazily designed bosses for sure but at least they're easy.

Lived there a long time. You're probably right now but it still only barely went to HRC in 2016. It was definitely center-right up until then with a larger than average early rejection of MAGA-ism by moderates.

It's a shame I moved away from Georgia before 2020 when my presidential vote would have actually mattered for once.

Edit: My whole point in saying all that is that it kinda feels surreal to me how much it's changed there.

Huh, so OG Dark Souls 2 is better than the bells and whistles 'full' version? Weird.
From my understanding (I've only played SotFS) it mostly just worse, spammy enemy placement, particularly in early areas. The core gameplay is the same and the DLC is untouched (although SotFS adds in extra steps to get access).

I would try to find a way to play with the original enemy placements if you can but Scholar is still ok if that's the most accessible or cheapest option.
Yeah original is really only a good idea on PC, and even then it's gonna be more expensive with DLC.

HeroDelTiempo17 posted...
As mentioned earlier, Elden Ring is DS2-2 in a lot of ways and I think that is just flatly correct and not even a hot take. The director of DS2 codirected ER. Essential game for understanding FromSoft's development as a studio.
Tanimura was co-director on DS3 as well and I don't know why people ignore that. Literally the only thing from DS2 that didn't appear in DS3 to make it into ER is power-stancing, and even that is only half true. DS3 has some weapons with built-in dual wielding and ER doesn't have the stat-requirements or cross weapon-class options of DS2 power-stancing.

Bloodborne is the only entry where they ignored some of the legitimate QoL improvements of DS2. But when you realize it was being developed by Miyazaki alongside DS2 and Tanimura was not involved it makes a bit more sense.

(Although really, how hard would it have been to add re-speccing and opt-in NG+ to Bloodborne?)

I didn't throw him in the TV but I still got a bad ending the first time because I chose that it didn't make sense why Namatame was so scared, which I still stand by! That particular bad ending doesn't make a damn bit of sense why it plays out any differently. I checked the guide after but I probably would've gotten it on my second try.

Nanako was sad but I also wasn't quite buying it, I guess? Aside from the fact that I know she shows up in the extra content, I figured Teddie was about to save her. Which I guess is what happened? They're kinda vague on that. I was figuring he might be able to straight up summon his Persona because of the fog situation. Still, once they were giving me the choice to throw Namatame in it felt like full-blown bait.

I haven't actually entered the December dungeon. I left on at the confrontation in the room from the beginning with all the faces scratched out.

I pretty heavily departed from the other guide I was using because they didn't finish Heirophant or Justice until January which I guess is fine in Golden but I didn't care to wait. Still have Sun, Moon, Death, and Aeon to finish. Aeon the guide basically gets done all at once after this.

And Jester I guess but I did reach the necessary point there.

I know the topic is marked but it's bigtime spoiler territory. Just in case someone playing this expected to have a clearer picture of when I got here I'm gonna mark this post only entirely. Early December spoilers.

Ok so yeah it's Adachi. Didn't need a second try on that one.

Even though I had him pegged pretty early on, I don't feel like I did that through all that much deduction. It really was that it just never made all that much sense to be anyone else. There weren't enough important characters. I did realize a some of the stuff they point out about him afterward, namely that he could drop off the warning letters without rousing suspicion and instantly "accepting" Namatame as the culprit from the diary pretty quickly. But I was so focused on him that there was basically no way I wouldn't notice.

I also figured he threw Kubo in the TV and I'm kinda baffled why the team never came to that conclusion themselves.

I didn't figure out in advance of interrogating Namatame that Adachi himself threw in the first two victims, but it makes sense. Also makes Namatame less of a moron. I had started to think Adachi was killing people more personally after they had been thrown in but that was way off. Instead Adachi just sort of fell ass backwards into playing puppet master for most of the story and the MO was always accurate.

I am glad that the story actually did something real with the 2 blatantly obvious suspicious people of Kubo and Namatame.

Oh well time to go kick his ass and then probably punch God because Persona.
