Introduction

Yeah, I know this isn't my weekly thread and thread hijacking will not be tolerated but who cares. Before you ask where @loli_esports is he has recently posted a picture of Frieren with a white monster and the caption "alcoholic anime girl save me save me alcoholic anime girl" so he's doing great. The threads will be now under new management with less fun but more autism I hope you'll love it :marseyshy3:

I'm planning on dropping them each Sunday at 4-6pm CET but if someone in a more popular (=better) time zone wants to do it feel free to just do it lol.

So, what are you playing currently? !g*mers

This week's entry will be HADES

A rogue-lite hack and slash dungeon crawler in which Zagreus, son of Hades the Greek god of the dead, attempts to escape his home and his oppressive father by fighting the souls of the dead through the various layers of the ever-shifting underworld, while getting to know and forging relationships with its inhabitants.

I recently bought Sekiro and so far am really impressed :marseyexcited:

I'm only like 2-3 hours in, so everything is still largely a mystery to me, but I like how different the narrative style is :marseythinkorino:

All I knew going in is that combat is parry-focused, there's a mechanic that kills off NPCs, and that it was more "linear" (as in, not an RPG with complex point distributions).

But once I started noooticing the level of exposition in this game (eavesdropping, way more cutscenes, a lot of NPCs to talk to, etc.) something clicked in my head; FromSoft is trying out all the Western-style themes as well as "genres" with their games. Dark Souls is a Western-themed action RPG, then they do the Gothic Horror (aka western) themed game, then they literally do their own version of a God of War/Uncharted, "cinematic" Sonyshit style game (with their own unique Jap style/charm intertwined), and finally Elden Ring doing the (western) openworldslop style (with their own unique Jap style/charm intertwined).

:marseyautismtalking#:

(and yes, I know Sony isn't "western," but the westerners specifically gobble up their unique brand of wannabe movie-type games, and I think a lot of them are even from western studios)

I don't even think I've gotten to an actual boss yet, but the world is cool and I can see myself enjoying the combat :marseyfluffy:

this comment has made me rethink my decision to wait on purchasing Sekiro. i think i might buy it if it's still 50% off when i get home :marseyfluffy:

Ngl I have been "waiting to get Sekiro" as well for like 3+ years, but it still only getting a max of 50% of in 2023, I decided to bite the bullet and just accept that it won't go much lower :marseysad:

So far so good though, and honestly, it's supposedly like a 40ish hour game if you rush through a first playthrough, and that's 40 FromSoft hours, so you get your money's worth anyway :marseythumbsup:
