I'm sorry, did I ever imply the prequels were good? 🤔

Nope. You can chill your jets.

Anything works in PVE. I assumed we were talking PVP. 

Fuck PVP, especially Bloodborns. 

I honestly dont care about Aretha either way. I don't like her design, I thibk it's overly busy and stupid and her side quest is fucking booooooooooooring. 

So I don't really care about Agetha. I ignore her whenever I play because her side quest is lame. 

Never played HW1 so I unno.

The Moonlight Greatsword in Bloodborne fuckin sucks compared to the thing in pretty much every other Souls. It's still the goddamn Moonlight Greatsword. People wanna use it, lol. 

Can't co-sign. Holy Sword of Moonlight is a beast. It's damage output with the right build is great. 

Not saying best weapon but it doesn't even come remotely close to sucking. The Claymore moveset never sucks. 

Also long as the Scraping Spear is back then any other gear can kick rocks.

I watch the four episodes of the Inuyasha sequel series. I don't like they kicked off the series with a flashback of the old crew. I want to know who these new characters are and what motivative them. Don't start this shit with a filler episode of the old series. They could have saved this for much later. Episode 2 should have been the debut episode.

 

Some shit must have gone down in the last 15 years if the crew's kids don't know each other.

Inuyasha debuts one episode and its already filler hahahahaha. 

Old habits die hard as fuck. 

Jesus Clevelands VA really bounced huh?

In North America lots of people are afraid of eating fish.  They're even more afraid of eating raw fish.

 

To counteract this, sushi restaurants came up with all sorts of rolls that use cooked ingredients and lack raw fish.

 

One such roll is the Philadelphia roll, which contains smoked salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese.  Another such roll is the famous California roll (imitation crab meat, avocado, cucumber), known for being the go-to choice for spineless sushi eaters everywhere.

 

Western novelty rolls can be pretty good but a lot of them were created because some people are total wusses. 🙃

I like the novelty rolls quite a bit, but I also really like legit sushi.

Thank you. This revisionist history for the prequels is some real fucking nonsense. 

Good. Fuck Agetha lol. 

Still haven't played the demo but I do have it installed. 

I've never had much of an opinion on it either way honestly...

Always kind of imagined it as fucking her so hard her ass cheeks clap which visually is pretty funny in my head...>.>

Fucking christ its TETRIS.....Fucking Teteris man

Fuck whoever that publisher is.

Bloodborne is another one I'd pick. Easily one of my all time favorite games. 

Oooh another one, but im going to cheat and say the entire Legacy of Kain series instead of just one game, because the core series (Blood Omen 1 and the Soul Reaver games) narrative through line so hard with each other i would consider them one experience over all, even if they are 4 games in total.

Yea I said 4. Fuck Blood Omen 2

What's a game you wish you could experience again for the first time? 

Any game with an emphasis on exploration and discovery. So any Souls like DarkSouls 1 or Bloodborne, The best Zelda games (ALTTP, Majoras Mask, fucking Breath of the Wild) of Witcher 3 or something. Something with a big world full of wonders to discover.

Yup. It needs to be a directly similar experience for the term to have any value.

 

If you call something a Metroid, I expect very similar attributes re: 2D labyrinth with power ups and weapons and armor.

 

If you call something an Igavania, I expect a lengthy side-scrolling leveling RPG, with butt tons of weapons, armors, and other items, with secrets galore, all tucked behind item/skill gated puzzles and bosses standing in the way of your progress.

 

Hell, Metroid is more of an Igavania than 99% of the games calling themselves Metroidvanias. And that's just plain wrong on so many levels.

Igavanias are more like Metroids*

But yea

I always interpreted it literally. That helps in an definition. So, to me, it means a game that literally has game systems very much directly similar to Symphony of the Night.

That's exactly why it's such a frustrating term. It's used to describe games that are nothing like ALL THE TIME. I've seen people call Zelda or Souls games Metroidvanias because open world-ish design and rpg mechanics, or earning tools that open up areas for you. 

It's uses the broadest, vaguest, most "I have 0 talent for describing things so I'm gonna describe things by directly referencing otherthings that are similar on the most surface of levels."

Yeah, that's probably how long it would last me. Maybe even longer, lol. 

 

Herb seems to get used up way faster, for whatever reason.

It takes more. The wax gets you higher for less.

Definitely games. Especially this year. 

 

I usually have a budget for two brand new games and maybe some smaller ones every month, but Steam been fucking me up real good ever since I built this PC. 

 

I'm a pretty lightweight smoker, so a gram of wax lasts me about a week, and a gram down here is around 12 bucks. So I'm usually spending under 100 bucks a month on it. 

 

Certainly cheaper than ciggrattes. 🤣

That 3 grams of Daimonds i showed you lasted me almost the entire month 😲

Metroidvania as a genre descriptor is about as useful as the term "Doom-clone", imo. 

Yea agreed. Its a completely useless term that for some reason we have let run rampant for close to 20 years now. Its the "Its the Dark Souls Of..." of 2D Adventure Games.

8 minutes ago, JHDK said:

Oh. Damn. I was hoping for at least weapons and whatnot.

Nope. Its Metroid with a dash of Souls. It uses Souls "Drop your currency on death" system, the Bonfire Checkpoint System (Bus Benches here) as well as the style of mood, atmosphere and story telling style in that the world is dead, everythings depressing, and you need to piece the narrative together through bits of dialogue, environmental hints and lore and shit. Otherwise the gameplay loop is Metroid where in you explore and fight to find abilities and skills that expand where you can explore and fight.

If you want an Igavania i recommend Bloodstained Ritual of the Night instead. That will scratch that Igavania Grind itch. Hollow Knight got none of that.

Why i dont like the term Metroidvania. Its too vague and non descript to accuratly describe these games to the people looking for them. Hollow Knight and Bloodstained get dumped into the same genre even tho one is an adventure game and the other is an adventure/RPG. I know we are only tacking one more genre onto the word Adventure but that fuckin RPG tag makes it a completely different experience and game imo.

Just now, JHDK said:

Does it at least have Metroid style loot?

If by that you mean abilities that expand your move set for combat and exploration then yes it has that. It doesn't have Gear outside of Charms that are accessories that can be mixed and matched for unique performance output and they aren't drops, you find them or buy them from the town shop.

No armor, no weapons (You can upgrade your weapon tho) no exp points to lvl up with.

I have it on Switch, too.

 

But I've yet to play it.

 

I bought it because I heard it was basically a bug Igavania.

 

More of a Bug Metroid. There is no loot or exp system, thus disqualifying it from being an Igavania...imo anyway.

Only game Ive played that actually captures that "Souls" feel that everyone tried to imitate but tends to fall short on. Not Hollow Knight. Its really good. Quite hard. Pretty rewarding.

Clearly you haven't played Hollow Knight.
