Yeah I only actually beat the game once. I started a few other times but never finished them because I just got so bored. It's such a shame because the ID thing was cool and the steal system was actually a really great idea, and the combat isn't too bad, it's just not as flashy as LoI's is. Some of the weapons you get have cool movesets although they aren't DMC levels of deep.
 
The thing that chapped my ass about the game was that there were hallways and rooms with NOTHING In them. No items, no enemies, no set pieces, nothing. It was like they weren't really supposed to be there in the first place and we're added last minute after it was too late to really do anything with them.
 
Trevor mode was kinda cool too, but again, I just never had the gumption to make it all the way through.
 
Lament would have been a top 10 CV game if the level design were fixed though. That game did pretty much everything right except for that.

I do remember enjoying Dracula's castle more than the rest of the game due to there being way more enemies and less wide open space. 

I actually tried playing through it late last year via emulation and I gave up, and it was right after finishing an LOI run on the same Emulator. It was boring. The similar looking areas do suck a lot of the joy out of exploration, and I actually think the combat was worse. Hector felt to me a lot more stiff and clunky compared to Leon and most of the enemies i fought either weren't very aggressive or they were flying and annoying to fight. The few bosses I fought weren't much fun either. 
 
Maybe it gets better later on, I don't actually remember, but LOIs areas where small enough that by the time you where tired of them they where over. The rooms may have been boxes and hallways but they where small and short and kept the combat contained most of the time where as Curse had hallways that just never ended. 
 
Oh and I think all of LOIs bosses are good to really good (none are quite great tho) while what i fought in Curse was very nothing special.  I may need to give it more time I don't remember, but I'd rather play something else anyway.  

The utter blandness of the level design in those two is truly baffling. They clearly played DMC before making both of them, and yet they still botched the execution. 

I stopped watching Shogun til the whole season is dropped. I can't do the week to week thing anymore, it's not like it's the 70s.

It's been a thing for awhile. SamSho already came and went from the service

I had someone on Reddit reply to a 3 year old (!) post I made about emulating Curse of Darkness vs actually buying it because it's not all that good and he couldn't believe I was saying that. He didn't believe that it was a common complaint of the game to have bloated garbage-y levels.
 
That game really is a shame. It had a lot of good things going for it but they took the one complaint everyone has about Lament and made it 10 times worse.

As I have grown older, I prefer the whole season drop va week to week. Why? Because It's easier to watch at a pace I prefer. I feel there's more to discuss woth more context vs the week to week. 
 
Having said that, I can tolerate either way. 

As a consumer,  I prefer the whole season to drop at once so I can watch it at my leisure.  

Stuff tends to do better and stay in public consciousness more when it's week to week. Binge shows are forgotten about soon after, unless they're really good.
 
That's my take on it anyway.

I like he calls it stupid, says "Imagine if" like we have to imagine when we know what it's like to have the entire season drop at once, and then never explains why it's dumb, least not in that tweet, can't see the thread. 

MEME MONDAY! 
 
To Binge or not edition! 

It is, by far, the mildest shade that one could cast at my father, lol.  Somebody on here once replied to one of my stories about him that he sounded more like a Grand Theft Auto character than a real person, and honestly that's pretty accurate.
 
Plenty of stuff, really.  But I guess what I'm trying to say is that the delta between bad pho and good pho is huge, and the best pho is at least in the conversation to be better than the best ramen.  

You gotta be a real hateful self entitled bitch to wish a plane full of people to crash.  Bad enough we got doors popping off Boeings and shit and you wanna wish extra bad Karma on a bunch of people who probably had nothing to do with your reason for getting kicked off the plane.  Hope she gets banned from that airline and all of her the prices for her flights triple or get delayed until she grows TF up.

That guy is crazy

Sony raising PlayStation Plus to $80 was the last straw for me. I don't play Destiny 2 anymore and with the advent of crossplay I buy fighting games on PC now. I can't tell you the last time I actually played one of the free monthly games you get. I wasn't giving them free money.
