Why not hear what others say about the games and see which ones you’d may enjoy playing?

Okay, there is a sudden difficulty spike in Borderlands 2 once you reach the Arid Nexus. At this point, low enemies like grunts can even kill your shields in one hit. Their guns do more damage than my own, relatively I mean. My guns technically do more but they have so much health, they can take 3 shots in the head with a sniper rifle. My strongest sniper rifle, a whopping 2500+ damage at lvl 30, can barely scratch them.
 
I tried so many different tactics, such as bombing them, sniping from afar or going in guns blazing. I died like so many times in the past 2 hours or so that I almost threw my chair.
 
But fuck it, I preserved and barreled my way through, dying several over and over again, chipping the enemy forces. And finally, I beat the last boss. I only died once against this guy, unlike the 20+ times from normal baddies.
 
So yeah.

Probably more info about the Switch port (like an actual release date).

@Jarkes  
That’s what I’m hoping for, though I’m not really holding my breath, but if it does happen, I’ll be pretty happy about it.

I only know persona because of the music. Why are people upset about human morgana?

@newsketches  
Coming from someone that played P5, I’m not quite sure either. If I had to guess maybe it’s because it kinda affects his arc in a major way, and maybe some people just don’t want his story to change.

In Dark Souls, it’s best to attack a boss or enemy after it’s attacked you, like a counter-puncher in boxing.
 
Bloodborne makes you take the fight to enemies and bosses.

I should go back to Hollow Knight
 

@E-123  
Yes

You know; Konami missed a big opportunity to add METAPHORIC FORCE to the arcade anniversary. They have mostly shooter in it and not much love is ever given to the most arcade game genre of all. Hell, they made one of the hottest ones to play! Such a shame really.

When is Team Cherry gonna show more about Silksong I’m extremely hyped for it lol

@Cyborg_pony  
I agree, the “beat ‘em up” arcade genre needs more love.  
I’m kinda surprised “Haunted Castle” is on it, instead of in the “Castlevania” collection, as it’s basically a CV game, (and came out after the NES game) has a hero with a whip fighting Dracula’s forces, and even oddly has BGM that would be used in later CV games.
 
Interestingly, the Castlevania collection has the Japan-only Famicom/NES “Kid Dracula” game, (not to ge confused with it’s Gameboy sequel) which makes me curious if it’ll be localized, or still in Japanese text. (Some games like “Super Mario Bros.” were already completely in english in Japan, with no translation necessary.)
 
I like how the collection has the Gameboy games in it too, but I’m kinda disapointed it doesn’t include “Castlevania Legends” the first one with a female hero. Sadly, the CV producers removed that game from the canon timeline, and often ignore it.  
Boy, Konami must really dislike Sonia Belmont for some reason…

Days Gone is getting mixed reviews.

Gee, what a shock. [/sarcasm]

Reached the current end of the MSQ in FFXIV, gonna focus on desuckifying my gatherers and crafters. #fuckvoidglue

@Beau Skunky  
The directer everyone loves who is now doing Bloodstained said women are the victims in vampire stories not the heroes,

@Thanotos Omega  
Well that… Has unfortunate implications…

@Thanotos Omega  
Context?

Switch has officially outsold the N64.
 
pops champagne

@Beau Skunky  
Yeah he seemed stunned and unable to even give a solid reaction when the interviewer pointed out the girl fans may like a female protagonist, like he couldn’t even wrap his head around the idea of female fans,

@Thanotos Omega  
Again, think you can link the interview?

@Thanotos Omega  
My sister likes Castlevania, so it’s not like female CV fans don’t exist. Even male fans appreciate female characters like Maria, Charlotte Aulin, and Shanoa. Don’t get why Sonia Belmont is taboo to Konami.
 
@Background Pony #02F9  
Impressive for a 2 year-old system. Kinda surprising the Switch is that old already.

@The Equestrian Zodiac
 
It’s a Warriors-type game, actually.
