Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Elder Ring

Updated about 3 weeks ago

★★★★★ 'Dragon's Dogma' might earn my vote for the most 'greater than the sum of its parts' game of all time. Even if aspects of its design are a bit creaky or underwhelming over ten years later, there's a certain magic formula to the way its elements come together: a lush open world to explore on foot, a stylish character action combat system, and giant boss battles that allow you to literally climb all over your enemies. Also hard to deny it helped set the template for a game like 'Elden Ring' too...

Haha, thanks! It's been fun playing Kirby with my kid so far, and she asks to play more every night. There's some moments of frustration, but it's amazing how quickly concepts can get picked up in that young brain.

It's my own fault! Ever since I got the Steam Deck I've been wanting to dive into a ton more Steam games either as a replay or because they were games I didn't feel like playing at my desk.

It doesn't need to be as long as it is! I felt that way about the first as well, but I was so engrossed in everything that it didn't bother me as much. Ragnarok doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from the first game. Still enjoying it overall, but it feels bloated.

Yeah, the adaptive triggers are phenomenal. Hope more games make use of those.

Had a rough couple of years, not had access to my PS4 games for 18 months, had to sell my Switch at the start of the year, and was making do with a retro run on a PS3 because... well, backlog and poverty.

Snagging a PS5 on the day I moved into a new flat after a hard summer at work in my new job... I feel I earned a nice comfy winter curled up with a new console. Good times ahead.

I'm increasingly curious about the sequels now, but I've always heard mid-to-bad things about them. Try4ce hated DR2 apparently, but I at least want to look up some videos or something after I finish DR1.

I think my experience was very similar to yours, actually. When I played Sekiro for the first time, I made the mistake of playing it like just another Dark Souls game and I really struggled as a result. I was actually walled by Lady Butterfly for a very long time and abandoned the game for months. When I finally came back to it, I took the effort to really learn how to play the game and things went more smoothly, but it still felt like a monumental thing to overcome.

The interesting thing about Sekiro is that once you've really figured out how the game works, it becomes a lot easier in a way that the Souls games don't. I actually replayed the game on PC earlier this year and even though some of the bosses still took a few tries, I got through them dramatically easier than before. Guardian Ape was maybe two tries, for instance, and even Isshin was maybe five or six, a far cry from the days of attempts during my first run. I assume you didn't try the Demon of Hatred? If you're burned out on the game, don't force yourself to do it, but it was a really fun challenge in a second playthrough because it's a fight you must tackle in a much different way than every other encounter in the game.

Good luck on Isshin! That's one of the most satisfying From Software fights, but also potentially one of the most frustrating.

Yo, I dig the roleplay you have for your Dunmer there. Plenty of exiled Dark Elves following the Red Year - ripe roleplay pickings.

Me, I half-self-inserted, made Truliam Heart-Spoken, Half-Nord, Half-Imperial, raised in Cyrodill. Displayed a great interest in the way of the Bard, and learned of the Bard's College in Solitude, so he headed north to the border...

...and you know the rest :>

Oh hey man, long time no chat! Nothing wrong with being a little late to the party, heck I accidentally took a week to respond to this because sometimes I forget to check my Backloggery, oops! I'd agree with you though, it really feels like another "Dark Souls", like it's on that level of quality and will hopefully echo through the industry because my god do open world games need some fucking help. Elden Ring is the first open world I've loved (I did like BoTW and Witcher 3, but not love). It's fantastic on a macro and micro level.

You're right to think it's massive btw, it's fucking huge. Took me 160 hours to finish it. Mind you, I definitely didn't do the B-line to the main bosses. I did tons of roaming, did tons of cave delving and it never really felt tedious. Tried to get as many NPC questlines done as I could too. It's actually a masterstroke the way the map expands as you play it. It feels reasonably sized as first and it just grows as you play. Anyways the game rules, arguably FROMSOFT's best effort to date and easy GOTY.

It's a decent clone/rip-off of Donkey Kong Country, though the controls and physics are nowhere near as good as the classic trilogy or the Retro Studios duo.

There are some neat ideas with the level design, but a lot of it is ripped wholesale from DKC2 and 3, and someone on the dev team really liked those bramble stages from DKC2, lol.

Still, Kaze is a cute game, picked it up physically for a budget price and it was pretty much what I expected.

Congrats on finally beating Super Mario 3D World! I remember enjoying the one on 3DS quite a bit. The only one I have for switch is New Super Mario Bros 2 I think it’s called…

Been making decent progress in Resident Evil 2 Remake when I’m home to play it. Surprised I haven’t had a heart attack yet though. It’s so intense at some points! I’ve been enjoying it so much that I ended up buying the 3rd remake at Gamestop for $15.. So much cheaper than getting it from PSN. Saved me about $40. I think?

Strictly speaking, the 3DS eShop will only shut down for purchases, not for redownloading content you already own, in 2023. A full shutdown is not in the works (but obviously, nothing lasts forever). More to the point, however, adding funds with credit card *will* indeed end in May 2022 and with my US 3DS used in Europe, that shuts down my only convenient way to add funds at all. I'd have to import eShop cards after that, plus that way you always have some leftover balance, and I don't have a Switch that that balance could then pass to. There's really no convenient way for me to do this other than by the "add needed funds" from my credit card.

It is a safe assumption that as CC stops being supported for adding funds, directly purchasing with it goes too, because that's essentially not a different thing. The procedure is that you first add the precise amount needed to buy the item, and then through a separate click do the actual purchase. Step one disappears, and so, step two is only going to be possible with funds added to your eShop account by other means.

I expect that with the entirety of Fire Emblem Fates - and cheap indie Fragrant Story slipping in with it - I am done with 3DS purchases, however.

It happens too often… I have quite a few titles that are near the end. Some are even at the final boss! The main problem is that I forget how to play them and/or what I was working on when I stopped playing. I have a feeling Days Gone might have the same fate…

I think Final Fantasy XII is going to be the most difficult to pick back up. I just remember wanting to finish off the hunts before going to kill the last boss. I don’t even remember how the hunts work, let alone how to battle!

At least I’m nearly done with Bloodstained and I beat Ori and the Blind Forest last week finally! I’m tempted to get back to Octopath Traveler next, but I do want to start Shin Megami Tensei V!

I’d start Metroid next, but I’ve been playing a lot of platformers lately. I think I may want to save it a while longer yet. Are you enjoying it?
