got the platinum trophy for god of war a couple of weeks back. beat the story again a week after. it's a very good aaa blockbuster video game-ass video game. super satisfying gameplay loop, surprising depth in combat, hype af moments, doesn't really have anything new or meaningful to say.

played an hour of all our asias, but it didn't really grab me and haven't gone back to it yet. i know i only have about another hour left, so i'll finish it this weekend.

took part in the dark souls remastered network test. only played the original on ps3 with its sub 30fps and muddy textures. looks good! but goddamn that game is slow. played through all of bloodborne couple of months back, so dark souls' slowness is just made all the more apparent.

also, dueling in that game is just broken and silly. didn't do much of it in the original version, but i did my fair share in dark souls 3 and bloodborne. it's exciting in those games, but dark souls 1 dueling is basically backstab fishing. it's made all the more worse with the inherent lag in these games with the player models strafing into one another looking for backstabs. i'm not saying anything new about this, since it's been the case 7 years ago, but yeah, the network test was a stark reminder for me to just not bother with dueling when the full game comes out. i'll still welcome invasions and will do some invading myself, because the cat and mouse aspect of pvp can still be surprising. just no fight clubs or "honorable" duels for me.

haven't played a game since the weekend of that test though! don't have anything else on my plate. only have the dark souls remaster to look forward to in the immediate future.
