Tonight on Twitch at 8:00PM (EST): Where oh where have all the "Casual Mondays" gone? Damned if we know! Come join us for Mega-bustin' action to the X4th degree, Liberation of a particular Creed, and Classic selections in dual-screen 3D. www.twitch.tv/badgamehallo...

watching people who've played a lot of elden ring dodge enemies correctly has solidified why they can't reasonably take that combat design any further: they sped things up so much that they paradoxically made it slow again it's all the "trick" openings in enemy combos which really hammer that home

remember, do you that september evening twenty-two

Been a while since I've written for RPS! I've got odd feelings about The Beast. It's big, dumb and enjoyable, but also I think it's much closer to Dying Light 2 (in its current incarnation - that game has changed a LOT) than many want to admit.

IDEA: super robot wars game featuring xenogears and G gundam, where the gundam fight announcer monologues in a dark room on a stool until a xenogears character walks in and says "can i borrow this, i got some stuff to talk about"

shame this guy didn't come back in armored core 6

senior excel i think i hauve covid

lost soul aside is not for me, but character action combo videos are so important to the culture writ large that i can respect it for that now we just need to rewrite fair use laws so that people can set these videos to linkin park or whatever again

it's a shame they don't let you do some iconic vocal barks in command in silksong, meaning you cannot input Run Run Shaw

you're on thick ice, buddy. i'm probably not even gonna remember that you got on my bad side this time

[gulps] your pussy is right behind me, isn't it?

as long as i'm posting screenshots, here's a reminder that i took one of the greatest elden ring shots of all time

damn i wanna replay armored core 6 [reinstalls, beats the the top arena fight with all my builds again] well that was fun

🎵thunder only happens when its hot out players only love you when its warm out sayin' women they will come when it gets cold when the rain washes you clean it's warm which players love🎵

considering the amount of hot springs you can bathe in mid-mission in nioh, consider nioh 3 for your next co-op run as eliot and dogs from blue stinger

BROKE: calling someone a freak for maining juri in street fighter WOKE: realizing that obviously certain camera work for kick-focused characters is more dynamic BESPOKE: calling someone a freak for maining ryu, ken, sean, akuma, sagat, dee jay, blanka, dhalsim, rashid, e. honda, adon, abel, necalli,

excited to see connor macleod tenderly embrace a man he stabbed on the ground as he reloads his sword

in trying times like this, some of the ways in which society has healed are difficult to perceive in the moment. for example, nowadays you can post a picture of a cute dog and usually not worry about seeing someone call them a heckin' pupper doggerino

and there's the second ending of rise of the ronin done. doing the final boss fight underleveled is a hell of a thing, but thanks to the delicious taste of super stat buff medicine, i just barely won not gonna 100% it (as per usual), so bring on that nioh 3 PC beta and then all the DLC a year later

it must be a bummer to make something challenging, where that challenge is to be treated as harmonious with the other aspects, and see people whose main takeaway is their overcoming of that challenge end their conversation with your work while addressing no other aspect

CHRISTOPHER WALKEN AS THE EMERALD HERALD FROM DARK SOULS 2: it's yoo... the curse bearah. yoo gotta seek out these gais

starting deep of the night in elden ring nightreign -> winning zero runs after multiple attempts

i always thought it was weird that they never released a dual analog PSP so you could control the camera more easily in the monster hunter games, considering how popular they were, but in retrospect, i wonder if they would've put weapon controls back on the stick if they were given the opportunity

back when resident evil 7, breath of the wild, and monster hunter world came out, i grouped them together in a trend of looking the pitches of those series' first entries and rebuilding them as if they were new but looking back, it's been more of a habit for monster hunter, maybe to its detriment

LIVE BY THE DIE SWORD BY THE SWORD

they call it Super Robot Wars Y because it's the most super robot wars-y game of them all, though it lacks other super robot wars-y titles such as after war gundam esque and esqueaflowne

thanks miyamoto

i brought this up on the HG101 podcast about elden ring, but people will praise fromsoft as game design geniuses in one breath and then say you aren't supposed to use magic or summons. there are over 100 of those! if you weren't supposed to use them, you know how many a genius would implement? ZERO

so did anyone see that new nioh 3 gameplay footage? posted like a day ago and i missed it! imagine missing news like that

can't believe they took this dialogue out of snake eater delta

first act to train my reality-warping powers is the retroactive creation of a mediocre PS2 game based on aim for the ace that gets fan translated 20 years later. the tennis controls are awful, but the winning shot shows dramatic freeze frames of the players' faces followed by TENISU KOOTO NIIIIIIIII

i wake up with these relic effects every day of my life

just because your fanbase gives you this ability in real life doesn't mean you get to patent it for games too

suddenly reminded of the art i paid @dalisay.art for 5 years ago of cao cao with his pet chao, chao chao

ah so thats what this video was about

if there was no dreamcast, there'd be no phantasy star online, and i'd probably be long dead by this point

IDEA: story set in a future where most human history is forgotten, so people refer to doom as "the classic smart fridge game"

the internet was originally conceived of by the US department of defense as an on-ramp to meeting vast swathes of nordic people

almost forgot to take a picture of reniwaye while she was on fire. sadly, standing in the fire triggers a damage animation in rise of the ronin, so i had to step back out and do the gesture instead anyways, i glossed over the combat and complained a lot in my thread from finishing the game, so:

CARTOON FACT: when people refer to the SatAm Sonic cartoon, SatAm is short for "Satin America"

replaying rise of the ronin missions on midnight, the new game+ difficulty 1) if you go back to the first mission, your blade twin will have the same outfit you do. i forgot akane had all those tattoos under her blade twin outfit 2) yo the new set bonuses have effects that change basic mechanics??

bringing this post back from twitter with subsurface scattering or whatever they added in delta

and that's credits rolled on rise of the ronin. i really liked it! but there are a lot of odd choices they made that throw things off if you like deflection-heavy games, but don't vibe with ones that require you to be perfect about it, rise of the ronin is an easy recommendation
