I’m thinking about my brand loyalty to FromSoft and how it’s wavering. I ended the last post by saying about how it’s not me–it’s them. What do I mean by this? I mean they are spreading their wings, which is their absolute right, but it’s not what I’m interested in. It’s interesting. Many people think… Continue Reading
I’m not writing about Nightreign (FromSoft) today. At least not directly. Well, I’ll probably end up going in that direction, but this is about brand loyalty in general. Here’s the post from yesterday just because it’s tangentially related. I wanted to talk about brand loyalty because it’s been on my mind. Why? Well, it lingers… Continue Reading
I only played one or two rounds of Nightreign (FromSoft) today, and it’s for a prosaic reason. The Switch 2 dropped, and I have had a devil of a time trying to matchmake. Now, the systems are down for maintenance and for a patch that improves Remembrance matchmaking. Before I go on, here is the… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was talking about how I had made no progress in two days. I was dispirited, and I felt as if my time with the game was coming to an end. One of the biggest problems with the game is that for someone as bad as I am at it, I’m not… Continue Reading
I am bad at FromSoft games. I have said this from the beginning, and it only gets worse the older I get. I hated Dark Souls by the time I finished it, and sometimes, I wish that I had ended my FromSoft journey there. I’m not being snarky;I think I might have been happier overall… Continue Reading
I’m stuck on the second boss. This is partly my fault and partly not. Which is the theme of this game, really. Or rather, my reaction to this game.I am stuck on the second boss, and it’s frustrating as fuck. I’ve only actually seen the boss three times. At least I think it’s three. Maybe… Continue Reading
Nightreign (FromSoft) is not me, and that’s…I was going to say it was ok, but it’s kinda not. I have done a series of A Quick Look at the game, and this is part three in which I listed several negatives about the game. I’m going to continue in that vein, pointing out what is… Continue Reading
I have more to say about Nightreign (FromSoft), so this is the third part of taking a quick look at it. Hey, this is as quick as I get. Deal with it.Here’s yesterday’s post in which I compare playing with randos with playing with people you know. I have put in 15 hours, and I… Continue Reading
I played quite a bit of Nightreign (FromSoft) today. First, I played a few rounds with rando. That was not great. I mentioned in yesterday’s post how it can work well or terribly, depending upon how cohesive the other two players were. On the first day, I got really lucky that most of my rando… Continue Reading
Nightreign (FromSoft) dropped at 5:00 p.m. my time on PC. It dropped six hours later for consoles. No idea why, but I’ll take the early release. I went in and did the tutorial. I’m glad I played a bit of Elden Ring the last few days to get me back on track before Nightreign. It… Continue Reading
