Ed. Note: I’m so close to the end, I can taste it. I want to write more about my frustrations with the game, but also just update how far I am in the game. Spoilers. Some. Maybe? Probably. Be forewarned. We’ve reached #5 on the list, but I want to revisit #4 for a minute. Right… Continue Reading
*BONUS POST* Ed. Note: There will be spoilers. Not many, but some end game ones, including bosses. Be forewarned. I have already declared that I think Sekiro is probably the best of the FromSoft games, even if I never play it again. It’s brilliant and amazing, and a bunch of other superlatives. With that all… Continue Reading
Ed. Note: I am firmly in the end game. There will be spoilers galore in this post. I have many emotions, and I will share them all with you. Well, as many as I can before I run out of steam. It has been a long haul, but I am finally at the end of the… Continue Reading
*BONUS POST* Ed. Note: More boss talk. More spoilers. All gold. The last we met, I was dancing with the devil, otherwise known as the Guardian Ape, phase two. In this phase, it felt as if I were dancing with the boss rather than fighting him. In fact, he reminded me of a… Continue Reading
Ed. Note: More Sekiro, of course. Yes, there will be spoilers. Many, many, many spoilers. In fact, consider the whole post one gigantic spoiler. Update Ed. Note: Turns out I had a lot to say about the difficulty of FromSoft games, so this post will not be as spoilerific as I initially thought. More like… Continue Reading
*BONUS POST* Ed. Note: This post is going to be focused on one boss, so it will be absolutely littered with spoilers. Not just vague spoilers, but very specific spoilers. Be forewarned that if you read this, story beats will be spoiled along with a major boss–and, incidentally, an earlier boss. Here ends your warning. … Continue Reading
Sekiro* dropped last week–has it really been a week?!?–and as a huge FromSoft fangrrl, I was nervous, excited, and antsy waiting for it to be released. I bought it, pre-loaded it, and then spent an hour troubleshooting it to get it to run on my laptop. When it finally started running, I got that thrill… Continue Reading
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which hereafter shall be known as Sekiro because that’s what it was intended to be called until Activision shoved its nose into the–I’ll get to that in a bit–is coming out tomorrow (or today by the time you read this). Or rather, tonight since it’s coming out at midnight EDT (are… Continue Reading
I have a confession to make that will probably get me kicked out of the Souls community, but YOLO. Bloodborne is my least-favorite FromSoft/Soulsborne game to play out of the four (still haven’t played Demon’s Souls) for a variety of reasons. Before I get into the reasons why (and why I’m writing about it again),… Continue Reading
I’ve been watching the RKG boys play through Dark Souls II, and it’s reignited the debate about whether the game is good or terrible in ‘the community’*. There are the ones who insist it’s terrible, then cite the one thing that gets oft-repeated in the community–the physical impossibility of going from the end of Earthen… Continue Reading
