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
I have bought Nightreign (FromSoft) and have it preloaded because of course I did. It’s FromSoft. I will buy any game by them sight unseen because I am that much of a fan. There are two other PC players in the RKG Discord (well, three, but one is not going to be able to play… Continue Reading
I’m branching out from talking about soulslikes to talking about pop culture in general. Why? Well, because I can, but also because it’s pretty much the same mentality. What do I mean? I mean I don’t like most pop culture in general. I have specific pockets of things I like, but in general, they are… Continue Reading
We’re talking more aobut soulslikes and why I’m on the cusp of giving up on them. Before I get into that, though, I have to say that I talked a bit with Ian about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive), and his opinion is more in-line with mine than with other people’s. He’s enjoying it… Continue Reading
Yesterday, as I was doing a bit of research into Nightreign (no longer remember why), I came across a post in Reddit that was pretty vitriolic against the game and FromSoft. I’m not surprised at the negativity because the game is very much un-From-like. It’s multiplayer, set in the Lands Between, and a roguelike/lite. There… Continue Reading
I wrote a post yesterday listing some of the criteria I use to rank my favorite FromSoft games. I talked a lot about the map in Elden Ring, which I thought was a brilliant way to handle their first real map in a game. I mentioned in the last post that I should never doubt… Continue Reading
Before I get to 1 and 2 on my favorite FromSoft games list, I want to explain the criteria I used to rank the games. I don’t know if I ever have, and even if I have, I am going to do it again. First of all, there’s vibes. Yes, vibes. Vibes include atmosphere, environment,… Continue Reading
