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
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
In the RKG Discord, there is a periodical debate about the best game in the oeuvre of FromSoft. It feels like Bloodborne gets the most love, followed by Sekiro. It’s funny because once I was talking about how I did not gel with the Sekiro gameplay and I think I said I would never go… Continue Reading
FromSoft released Demon’s Souls in 2009. This was before I was into video games and I wouldn’t have been able to play it, anyway, because I don’t have a PS3. Now it’s because I don’t have a PS5, but we’ll get to that later. Dark Souls was released in 2011. That’s over ten years ago.… Continue Reading
I went back to my beloved Dark Souls III to see how it held up. First up: I really hope FromSoft gets it back online soon. Roughly at the same time that Elden Ring was released, it was discovered that there was a vulnerability in the servers (Bandai, not From, sorry) that made BamNam shut… Continue Reading
I’m watching Ellen from Outsidextra stream Dark Souls III (FromSoft, of course). She played the first game for the first time about a year ago with the tutelage of her colleague, Luke, and absolutely smashed the game. She took out Ornstein and Smough in two or three tries. I will admit I didn’t watch all… Continue Reading
I have not played Monster Hunter Rise (Capcom) today and I’m pretty sure I’m done. I have no desire to play it, which is a pretty drastic change for me because I was all about it just yesterday. Even then, though, the bloom was off the rose. Truly, I jumped into it enthusiastically, charmed by… Continue Reading
I was really digging Monster Hunter Rise (Capcom), pouring hours into it as I had into Monster Hunter World, the previous iteration. i was zipping through the village quests at a speed that surprised me because in MHW, I took my time and did quests over and over again to make armor and weapons. And,… Continue Reading
Dark Souls III is my favorite FromSoft game. I probably don’t need to say that by now, but it’s worth repeating. By the way, I’m in NG+4 at the moment and was playing a bit for funsies. One of my favorite things to do is break everything once I’m this far in the game. I… Continue Reading
I love FromSoft games, but they don’t love me back. Ian and I have an ongoing argument about whether FromSoft games are for me or not. He says I’m the target audience. Someone who likes the game, but isn’t great at them. I maintain that it’s the fanbois who are the target audience, especially for… Continue Reading
