I suppose. How much faster are blood vials compared to anything but DS2 Estus? Like I'm sure you're right that they're faster but I feel like they kinda match the pace of combat.

Plus don't they open you to counter damage? (Which is something I don't think we really brought up much here but is downright insane in this game.)

By "powerful" you really mean "numerous". An individual blood vial kinda sucks if you don't level health thoroughly. That's part of why the Defiled chalice is such a problem.

I can only assume the idea of letting you hold 20 is so people can use Blood Bullets more freely, but most builds only use bullets as a parry button. However, giving you 20 at a time also exacerbates the issue of people running out of them and feeling stuck.

IIRC Sekiro requires a NG+ run because the all bosses trophy needs it to be all on one file and one of the 4 ending paths has bosses not on the other 3 so at minimum you'd have to NG+ once. But I think that's the only real complication and would probably put it at less troublesome than some of the Dark Souls ones.
They only need to be on one file for the gauntlets, which aren't tied to Trophies. However, there is an upgrade material you have to do NG+ to get the necessary amount and it can't be on that one ending path.

You can turn that setting off, though I'm not 100% sure that's just for DS3 and Elden Ring (on PS4/5) and not Bloodborne.

I think Maria means "easy" just in the sense of they're tied to actual content. Even the Dark Souls games have stuff around Covenants which either requires PvP (that may possibly be very sparse like the dragon covenant in DS1), grinding drops from enemies., or even worse a ton of NG+ cycles.

Objection!

https://goty.gamefa.com/year/2016/
https://gotypicks.blogspot.com/2016/09/2016-game-of-year.html

Overwatch may have been the #2 winner that year in total awards, but despite it being a cultural multiplayer phenomenon, Naughty Dog's cinematic presentation resonated more with critics.
Huh, definitely way more GotY sources than I realized. Cursory inspection it does seem like "big publications" broke to Overwatch and smaller places went to U4, but your point still stands.

That said, DS3 was especially snubbed. I don't know how much you can blame any one other game for that. You remove everything above it and decent chance Inside wins bigger. I don't really get it.

Uncharted 4 won the most awards the year it came out. So did TLOU2, although From didn't release a game that year.
Not even close. Overwatch cleaned up that year. It's hard to imagine that anymore but it was all anyone was talking about that year.

And yeah I was absolutely saying TLOU2 did. By "initial" I meant non-remasters.

Gaming critics alternated between giving it to Naughty Dog and Insert Popular WRPG for years before finally throwing in the towel.
Nothing was ever going to beat Witcher 3 except for alternate universe actually completed MGSV (although that would've taken longer anyway). I say this as someone who has never played any Witcher. Oddly enough since then WRPGs have done really badly, and if we count CRPGs separately that doesn't look to change any time soon.

But Naughty Dog? FromSoft never released the same year as a TLOU (initial) release. I think you might be overestimating how well anything else besides Uncharted 2 specifically has done for them in the accolades department.

KamikazePotato posted...
Although notably enough, Demon Souls won Gamespot's personal GotY award over Uncharted 2 back in the day, which is a decision that has aged like fine wine.
I do have to admit I'm pretty shocked anyone actually did that, though. DeS was very overlooked at the time.

Oh, and I forget what unlocks when, but you can buy chalice materials from the Insight Shop. Usually it's after you need it, but in particular I think there's something (forget what) you buy from there in order to ignore Hintertombs chalices. That was actually patched in later.

  • Ignore the Root chalices, unless you look one up for gem farming or whatever. They are the truly random ones but they're not tied to progression.
  • Without glitches, you have to do all the non-root chalices anyway except the Hintertombs. You either need the next chalice or materials from the chalice.
  • If you do them early and get hard stuck, you may need stuff from the main game. The last material you get is from a hidden area near the very end.
  • One material, Arcane Haze, rarely drops from anywhere. You have to find the "Arcane Haze Extractor" in one of the chalices and use it at the upgrade bench to convert materials you don't need. You should have plenty of low level stuff you don't need by that point.
  • You shouldn't ever need to recreate a normal chalice as long as you don't miss anything, but if you do, then use a glyph (input code) to do it. It won't take additional materials.

if you get to the point where you have to grind for blood vials, look up the code for the "cum chalice" chalice dungeon and just spend all the echoes you get on vials so you never have to worry about it anymore

Okay yeah that's real but you don't actually have to put that in your search history to find it. "Farming Chalice" will be fine.

What I find more strange is the weird jealousy angle they went with out of nowhere, where Norman is complimenting Peter and Harry is just infuriated by it.

Oh I think I can explain that:

They really liked that part of the first Raimi movie and wanted to do their own version.

PrivateBiscuit1 posted...
Because Norman feels he did every single thing he could to get his son back, succeeded, and wasn't ready to blame the highly experimental goo monster he made on himself.

My problem is he very specifically does blame himself! Repeatedly to Harry/Venom in particular! He's basically at the end of his rope and feels like a failure and begs for Spider-Man's help. It's very classically un-Norman like but then they remembered right at the end that he needs to be the Green Goblin next game but we're out of time so fuck it undo all that.

Norman Osborne's change in attitude at the end makes no sense given everything leading to it and the only reason people don't complain about it is because he's supposed to become Green Goblin no matter what.

Quite frankly, it almost could have worked if Otto called him out on it. "The Spider-men hurt your son? Really? I'm sure there's nothing else to that story, you hypocritical moron." Instead, he's just as stupid. "Even Norman Osborne should know loss." Losing his wife has led to most of his evil crap. Otto should know that better than anyone! Fuck it's so stupid the more I think about it.

In regards to earlier discussions of Trump polling ahead of Biden:

All match-up polls are irrelevant for one very simple reason. No one is talking about is how much of a disaster his running mate will almost certainly be. Remember that the first time around he wanted Newt fucking Gingrich of all people. His kids talked him down into Pence and given how that ended no one will ever be able to change his mind this time. Nikki Hailey is probably his best case scenario and I don't see him going for it.

I'd say no. It's not like possessing it (initially) made him instantly more evil. No one else that gets one even changes at all, for better or worse. It allowed him to go down that path but he did so willingly every step of the way. Even "good Light" recognizes that the people Kira was initially killing is exactly who he'd choose.
