detroid

samus goes to the worst place yet

If Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition let you transfer saves from the 3DS version I would probably get it, but there's no way I'm starting from scratch again on that game

Picked up a switch and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Enjoying myself quite a bit. I know understand why people want to use the switch for everything.

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.

Started Pillars of Eternity 2, got a few hours in, decided I wanted to finish PoE:White March I and II first so I have been working on that instead before I go back and restart PoE2
---

hi I've been playing Breath of Fire 3 lately

also fighting games, but that's a constant. Nothing new as far as games go for me, really
---

I did end up getting Hyrule Warriors. Its Dynasty Warriors alright, but I havent played one of them in a while, so Im having fun with it. Havent really cared for the boss fights that much though.
---

The boss fights suck, yes, especially when youre doing challenges that have a time limit or some other circumstance that might require you to beat them quickly but they just refuse to do the move that exposes their weak point
---

Welp, finished White March, time to restart PoE2
---

Smash Switch confirmed to be playable on the floor at E3! I'm super hyped, and I feel like while some people mocked the idea that it was really going to be a 2018 release, I think it's actually pretty plausible.
---

Still enjoying Hyrule Warriors. Also started messing around with the LttP randomizer last weekend, and started a new game of ALBW tonight.

Go Zelda, I guess.
---

I just found an entire stable in BOTW that I hadn't seen before, over 100 hours in.
---

so hows that castlevania? might grab that tomorrow

I'm also interested in know how that is.

lmao how the fuck do you not get hit by the beam attack of the last boss in Curse of the Moon

If I use those platforms and jump at the last minute I still get hit, and even worse I fall off the edge from the knock back, so its better for me to not dodge and just take it in the middle

Pretty good, thus far but seems like a bit on the easy side. That could be good or bad depending on your point of view.

The first playthrough is fairly easy, but you unlock alternate modes of play that are tougher afterward.
