Is it just me, or are they actually learning? Veilguard getting completely snubbed? By these ass lickers?
Gambling game everyone got addicted to because gambling good and FOTM power for people who don't actually play many video games.
Told its a really good game with more heart than the entire PS5 existence combined. Probably deserved.
The other FOTM backed by infinite Chinese money that nobody even cared about once its "they stood up to the Woke mob!" cudgel wore off and its "record breaking steam chart!" became obvious Chinese bugmen buying it because "China numbah won."
Of course the new not-Persona would be there, especially with its recent release. Heard was decent, and that most of the politically drive dialogue people passed around is meant to be the "bad position" they learn from over their arc.
We all knew it would be there.
Squeenix might be bleeding money constantly, but FF can't die quietly.
It's a combo-focused roguelike, not a gambling game. It's based on poker mechanics, but the appeal comes from building Rube Goldberg machines that do ridiculous amounts of damage.
Wukong was a great game.
Even Lords of the Fallen understood that half the value of a souls game is the time between bosses dungeon crawling.
Do you mean the 1st or 2nd Lords of the Fallen? Have you played the first? It's been on my wishlist for ages and never know if I should buy it.
In this case both, but that's not a high bar to clear.
The first is legitimate garbage in most ways. Its generic and overall boring, the only reason its remembered is because it was basically the "first soulslike." I played it way back and got about half way before falling out, can't remember why. Either way, you can get it for dirt cheap so its not a huge loss to buy it for a few dollars just to fuck around.
The second is a pretty good all around game. Nothing to make it stand out super well (other than its otherworld mechanic which is really good), but it is a great game if you just can't get enough Dark Souls.
