I can’t imagine new players playing the game. I tried getting back in after missing most of the events since the 2nd dlc came out. So much of the story is gone now because they were only part of the event and inaccessible now. Doesn’t even feel like the same game when I went back to it. Tried watching a 2 hour lore video for all the things that happene but that didn’t help.
Holy crap I was trying to figure out why Sam Cole’s VA sounded so familiar. Thanks for helping me finally figure out why lol
Gave the game another try after the update and I’m actually enjoying it now. Gotten to the 2nd map and there are a ton of enemies fighting everywhere now. They really did increase the amount of NPCs you see around the map.
Wanted something moody/dark to play during October and this has scratched that itch.
Only played solo but I’d rate it as a 6.5/10 now. The original version would be like a 5/10 to me.
You might enjoy Alan Wake 1 but the controls aren’t for everyone. I absolutely loved it all the times I played but my friend couldn’t stand the combat.
The story is very mysterious and I can’t recall any gore at all in the game. The only kind of jump scares I can recall were from the combat when I didn’t notice an enemy snuck up on me. It’s something more easily manageable if you play on the easier difficulty as there is less of a threat.
The plot is really fucking great and has some of my favorite narration in a game. And it has a type of Eldritch horror story to it. You’ve probably already experienced it in that Alan Wake dlc for Control. You don’t have to deal with it in Alan Wake like you did in Control.
I miss my PS4 because you could install a PS2 theme that came with the sounds
Sucks you can’t change it on PS5 yet.
It’s honestly depressing at how Lemmy has turned over the last few months since I joined. I would now never mention I use the site or recommend it to others. There’s just too many fucking landmines for new users to step over to have a good experience here.
I’m sticking with it for the time being, but I don’t see myself ever using it again if it gets worse.
You mentioning the car thing is so true. Anytime you mention stuff about cars here, you’ll get the typical comment reply using it as a soapbox platform to say how cars are the devil.
The FuckCars users are some of the most toxic people on this site. It’s not even worth arguing with them.
October 3rd for anyone wondering.
I definitely love the look. Feels like an award for going too deep.
Aw damn :/ hope they can work out whatever issues they are dealing with.
I could be wrong but I had a deja vu moment thinking back when the manga first came out. Could have sworn the fan translation team just randomly stopped working on it and there was no other team to take over, so the translations stopped for a few weeks.
It was either this series or another I was reading back then.
Sadly no lol. I missed that whole thing. It was two people have a long ass argument that kept going on and on.
I actually loved when I saw this a week ago. It went far enough that only a single letter was on each line. 
I was thinking it was licking it’s butt to trigger the cub to poop. Just guessing though.
I am really really hopeful for this game to be serviceable.
This was one of the first manga’s I ever read. I remember getting the first shonen jump they released in America, which had this, around then and getting addicted from then on lol.
Does this affect the channels you subscribe too through Amazon prime as well? Fucking hope not lol
Same here. This news has me fucking excited to play it.
Tried it on gamepass in the past but couldn’t stand the multiplayer component so I stopped playing.
Glad the comment chain made you want to try it!
I have a feeling Sekiro fans will find more enjoyment in it than I did.
Hopefully you can find the demo if it’s still available somewhere.
Yeah lol. I think Trevor will sucker punch you if you run into him.
Yeah it was the moment when I realized Lies of P reminded me of playing Sekiro when I stopped lol. I’m just disappointed they make you have to parry. Not parrying lead to me getting combo locked during that first carnival boss so many times. Getting hit multiple times without being able to dodge or parry after the first hit was annoying.
Heard that the game has a dodge/roll upgrade a bit farther into it but I just didn’t have it in me to deal with more of the parrying to get that far.
Grateful the game was on gamepass so I was able to check it out before buying it. Hopefully my friend that’s 100% Sekiro will give it a try soon. He might enjoy the combat more than I did. He never dodged in bloodborne but instead stood still and just parry’d the bosses until it worked lol.
Excited for this arc to be animated. Really enjoyed reading it over the last year.
The music video trailer they released for this arc was pretty nice too. https://youtu.be/-Sb4wxbHh-4?si=csY7VZhMHzoeIKnK
