    Destiny 2 runs really damn smoothly. I'm impressed with how polished it is technically. Game-wise it's entertaining for now.

    I'm waiting for my Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth. It should come Saturday. I can finally conclude that stupid cliffhanger of the anime.

    EDIT: It arrived today WOOT.

    Just finished Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth.

    This is an amazing game. The story, art, music, voice acting, and yes, even gameplay is great. The difficulty is a little too easy on default, but an easy toggle for hard mode fixes that.

    For those who liked Utawarerumono (the first series, not the new one), this is a must play. It actually concludes the story that was sorta left hanging there. Even if you hated the second series, you will absolutely love this direct sequel game. It has politics, strategy, battles, and harem building in droves, just like the old game. The main character is a heroic bad ass, and all the heroines are adorable and interesting. It was worth it getting a Vita, a decision I used to regret, just for this game. You can also play it on PS4.

    Now I will start playing Trails of Cold Steel 2 to fill the hole that is this (On)kami-ge.

    I just finished Sekiro's various endings + Platinum achievement.

    It's been a really fun 120hrs all up for 4 playthroughs. The first 60mins was spent figuring out the first playthrough's bosses and going around collecting stuff. The subsequent runs were much easier actually. My final run was one of the hardest because I selected the option to suffer chip damage from blocking without perfect parries.

    I'm quite fine with the idea of "learn to parry or die" without having to worry about builds, stats and the like. It does make for less replayability, but I still replayed this 4 times anyway for the endings alone.

    I played Nioh probably a year ago, and even though there's more replayability on paper due to more weapons and builds, I only played it through 3-4x as well.

    My advice going forward for anyone starting out would be:

    1) Don't read guides, just play the first playthrough doing whatever you want. You can read up for completion later. Read boss guides if you get frustratingly stuck, rather than as a rule. It's more fun that way.

    2) Re-map Attack to "X" (xbox) or "Square" (PS4), and dodge/sprint to "RB/R1". It's so good to be able to sprint around with both thumbs on sticks to control movement/camera. The earlier you do it, the less it'll mess with any muscle memory you've built up to date.

    I'm planning to play it because it has 2B and Mysterious Heroine X skins.

    Will only finish once then watch endings online.

    Currently playing Yakuza 2 Kiwami. It has the best combat system for the franchise to date.

    I just finished Grisaia: Phantom Trigger episode 6. It made me cry. More dead masters for protags...

    Just finished Dark Souls Remastered after having played Sekiro.

    It's pretty fun. Very rudimentary combat compared to Sekiro, but the world/atmosphere/lore and RPG elements do make up for it. It was actually fairly hard for me at first until I found the Black Knight (ultra)Great Sword, then threw enough strength into to carry me through the game.

    I finished the game without intending to (thank god for their "Do you wish to start a new game cycle?" question in later games) so now I'll have to at least do ~50% of it to access the DLC content I missed.

    I also didn't really kill any NPCs in my first run, so maybe I'll do it for kicks this time for new content.

    I've been trying to get opinions about whether or not DS2 is any good. Opinions online seem quite polarized. I own DS3 but not DS2.

    All Dark Souls games are good. They aren't different enough to say one is significantly better than the other, except graphics.

    I quit Sekiro. Too much stealth required.

    I'm currently (and have been playing for a while by now since it's release) FFXIV-Shadowbringers

    I am finally able to play the Savage-Raids with friends, even though we have to take a Random with us to fill the last slot.
    God I love that game, the music, art/character design, the bossdesign (not too difficult, basically 100% mechanics) and the story.

    Always stopped after 1 or 2 patches in each expansion because we couldn't find people to raid with that are on our wavelength.

    I hope that I'll be able to play the next hardmode 8-man raids too.

    I just finished Anime Dark Souls Code Vein. It was pretty cool. It took some 70hrs to complete it on the first run while also not using the AI partner for most of the game (I left it off for all boss fights because I liked it that way, but enabled them for the latter part of the dungeons and for exploring the final area because getting ganked sucks balls).

    I started with the English voices and that was pretty good.. but then changed to Japanese after and yeah... it was better. In the "bad end", Louis's English line also completely changes meaning through it's nauances compared to the Japanese.

    Spoiler/Elaboration of the above:

    -Situation: in the bad end, you take in all the relics and start going beserk. Louis appears behind you and backstabs you to stop you from doing so.

    -In the English version, in a rather aggresive tone he says "Leave this to me" as if to mean Leave killing the MC to me (since he stopped Jack from killing you)

    -In the Japanese version, his whipsers in your ear as he backstabs you "The rest, you can leave to me/us", as if to say he'll take care of the relics and world order after stopping your rampage. This version is more in keeping with his character and the post-game screen.
    /end-spoiler

    And best girl? During the game it'd have to be Eva. She oozes sexiness in voice and demeanor. The plot heavily favours Io however, and all the endings pull on your heart strings re: her story in that regard so there's a soft spot for her as well.

    How did you deal with the dual bosses?

    Winning fight starts at ~12:00. The fight finished with 10 seconds of Final Journey left.

    This merely looks like the player is waaay over leveled for this fight. When I fought these bozos, 4 solid hits would kill me, and I did half the damage this player did. All the hits I see the player tanking are easily dodged.

    Lol that was me playing.

    I've forgotten what level I was going into this fight. Maybe 70? I was 76 prior to fighting Successor of the Throat, so I was at least that.

    As for tanking them, that was pretty much my idea going into it. Increasing attack buffs and using Cleansing Light for healing half the damage dealt back to me while trying to take down Blade Bearer.
    Fire tonic and ice tonic were used pre-fight to help with the tanking.

    Damage-wise, that's probably based on Gifts. Noble Silver buffs Light gifts, which in this case meant stacking Final Journey, Bridge of Glory and Adrenaline. Cleansing Light also counts as a light gift. Throwing that into a Fortified Zweihander gives pretty good results.

    As time went on throughout the game, I've found that my success corresponds quite well to how many successful Dragon Lunges I end up landing on a boss.

    Yeah shinta, you need to change your build to do out-and-out damage on Blade Bearer. Once she's down, the fight is very straight forward.

    Caster builds are also super effective for soloing the two of them. It's also really easy to make one-shot builds.

    If anything Buff is right on target for leveling, if not a little under. Matching a build to your unique play strategy is really the key. I was playing the first quarter of the game at Level 12 before I realized that I was hilariously under-leveled.

    I've found levelling to be a bit of an afterthought in this game (from a player priority perspective, not a game development perspective).

    And what I mean by that is, if I'm going into a boss fight with Haze to spare I'll do this in order:

    1) Unlock any new memories and blood codes.
    2) Inherit/unlock any codes I'll find useful
    3) Upgrade any equipment I have materials for.
    4) Throw the rest into increasing player level.
    5) attack boss.

    It's quite a different way compared to Dark Souls, where your stats were tied to points available upon levelling.
    Here's it's more about your Blood Code and passives. Levelling up is just a "good to have" for a bit more health and stamina.
