I love indie games. I want to state that upfront because I’m going to delve into my frustrations, especially with a specific type of indie game. Binding of Isaac (Edmund McMillen). There. I said it. And to be clear, I adore Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. I 1001%ed it, and then played a run a day… Continue Reading
In my last post, I was talking about how you are playing Dark Souls wrong. It doesn’t matter how you play it–you’re wrong. You’re a caster? WRONG. You’re Haveling it up? WRONG. You’re so dex, you’re rolling all over the place? WRONG. Drake sword? Wrong. Zwei? Wrong. Over-leveling? Wrong. The only right way to play… Continue Reading
I like Elden Ring. A lot. There. I said it. I know it’s a outre thing to say and the voice of the minor–ok, I can’t keep this up with a straight face. Elden Ring was a huge hit and the talk of the town for at least a month after its release. FromSoft is… Continue Reading
In the RKG Discord, it’s Return to Drangleic month. Drangleic is the castle in Dark Souls II (Scholar of the First Sin), and I joined in with enthusiasm. I am in the minority that I thought the game was good when I first played it. I started with SotFS; I must say atht it is… Continue Reading
In the RKG Discord, there is the evergreen question of , “How do you rank the FromSoft games?” It’s understandable because that’s what got RKG (then Prepare to Try) noticed in the first place–their coverage of FromSoft games. For me, personally, it’s the only reason I’m still supporting RKG as I don’t like most of… Continue Reading
So, there has been a game that was released recently. A highly-anticipated game about wizarding and such based on the books by the transphobe, JKR. I’ve seen all the movies and read all the books because Alan Rickman. Simple. I saw him in the first movie and instantly fell in lust. I then watched everything… Continue Reading
I like what I like and don’t like what I don’t like. This is the same for most people, but I do not like anything that is popular. Or very few things. TV-wise, I hate Friends (though I did watch it for several years out of ennui, I think), Seinfeld (the people are awful), Game… Continue Reading
I realized yesterday that leaving a mission in Nioh 2 (Team Ninja) is not as dire as I’ve always thought it was. I mean, the penalty is steep, yes, but not as bad as I had outlined in the last post. Yes, you have to go back to the beginning of the mission and yes… Continue Reading
So, as a FromSoft fan, I played all the Dark Souls and Bloodborne with the mentaliy that I had to solo the bosses, otherwise, I’m not hard–and I’m not a real gamer. I did summon a few times, but only as a last straw. Then, I went back and beat all the bosses solo. Except… Continue Reading
Dark Souls III is the best From game. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk, and…. I’m just kidding. I don’t think it’s the best FromSoft game, I don’t think it’s even the second-best From game. It’s my favorite, though, which is vastly different. Elden Ring is second by a hair, and I don’t thnk… Continue Reading
