I feel like, due to their nature, the Soulsborne games are pretty good about being pick-up and go.

like, you have constant checkpoints, the "vagueness" of their storytelling don't feel like they rush you, and allow you to invest as much of yourself into them as you want.

you can just mindlessly grind while doing other stuff (listening to music/podcasts, talking, etc.), and finally explore and/or progress when you feel strong enough.

the bosses and some stronger enemies might need your attention, though.

I say that to say (for me, at least), it's easier to play these kind of games when you might be busy with other stuff vs other kinds of games.

it's all good, I started a new character for the DLC but I'll just use my old one since I can jump right in.

and yea, I'm surprised Radahn wasn't mandatory.

wtf, I booted up the save to see if I could use it for the DLC, and it didn't save a bunch of the endgame stuff.

still enough for the DLC, but it's the first time any FS game has missed some of my save (could be my system).

now, I'm at the beginning of Crumbling Farum Azula even though I beat everything.

How long did you spend on the main game? I was close to 100 hours and beat it at level 164.

So I am expecting roughly half the length
I'm surprised to see my first playthrough was about 88 hours.

I generally play games pretty slowly, so we'll see with the SotE.

I bought The Last of Us remake on sale, and upgraded The Last of Us Part II to its remastered version.

I also bought the Demon's Souls remake, but that was partly due to the original only being on the PS3, so the PS5 version was the only way I could play it.

they're too different to compare, IMO.

it's like saying Ocarina of Time is better than Metal Gear Solid, or vice-versa - they both represent peak gaming of their time, were hugely influential, and you can prefer one over the other, but they offered different kinds of experiences.

I think it's valid to think that there's a chance that the latest installment of a series will be similar to its predecessors, but that's just an expectation until the final product is released.

that's why I think it's weird to say there's reason to hate on the game itself, when there's also a chance it can do things differently enough to distinguish itself from the others.

I'm not saying it'll be on the same level, but for example, we would have been wrong to say Breath of the Wild will be shit because the other Legend of Zeldas were (not something I believe, btw).

That's a different point. But if someone keeps feeding you shit every night. At a certain point you're gonna stop wanting to eat shit.
I mean, you're the one saying that the games are shit - it's not something that's generally agreed upon.

that's fine if it's your opinion, but you use it as a foundation to build your argument upon, which makes it seem as if your conclusions are the right ones.

like, personally, I think that Pokemon is a trash franchise, but if I just say, "well, it's just Pokemon" if someone asks why I think think there's a case against the series, it's not much of an argument.

Or you can do both. Ubisoft comes out with the most basic shit, processed products. And have been doing for a long time.
I agree that you can hate on both; I was just saying that just because something is made from a company you have issues with, it's not necessarily a mark against that thing itself.

as for AC: Shadows, it's not out yet, and it might end up going against the trend.

I'm not a fan of the company, but I thought that Watch Dogs 2 and the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy were enjoyable.

TopicGreek coastguard threw migrants overboard to their deaths,...
Baron_Ox
06/17/24 3:46:37 AM

...witnesses say:

The Greek coastguard has caused the deaths of dozens of migrants in the Mediterranean over a three-year period, witnesses say, including nine who were deliberately thrown into the water.
The nine are among more than 40 people alleged to have died as a result of being forced out of Greek territorial waters, or taken back out to sea after reaching Greek islands, BBC analysis has found.
The Greek coastguard told our investigation it strongly rejects all accusations of illegal activities.
We showed footage of 12 people being loaded into a Greek coastguard boat, and then abandoned on a dinghy, to a former senior Greek coastguard officer. When he got up from his chair, and with his mic still on, he said it was "obviously illegal" and "an international crime".
The Greek government has long been accused of forced returns - pushing people back towards Turkey, where they have crossed from, which is illegal under international law.
But this is the first time the BBC has calculated the number of incidents which allege that fatalities occurred as a result of the Greek coastguard's actions.
The 15 incidents we analysed - dated May 2020-23 - resulted in 43 deaths. The initial sources were primarily local media, NGOs and the Turkish coastguard.
Verifying such accounts is extremely difficult - witnesses often disappear, or are too fearful to speak out. But in four of these cases we were able to corroborate accounts by speaking with eye witnesses.
Our research, which features in a new BBC documentary, Dead Calm: Killing in the Med?, suggested a clear pattern.

In five of the incidents, migrants said they were thrown directly into the sea by the Greek authorities. In four of those cases they explained how they had landed on Greek islands but were hunted down. In several other incidents, migrants said they had been put onto inflatable rafts without motors which then deflated, or appeared to have been punctured.
One of the most chilling accounts was given by a Cameroonian man, who says he was hunted by Greek authorities after landing on the island of Samos in September 2021.
Like all the people we interviewed, he said he was planning to register on Greek soil as an asylum seeker.
"We had barely docked, and the police came from behind," he told us. "There were two policemen dressed in black, and three others in civilian clothes. They were masked, you could only see their eyes."
He and two others - another from Cameroon and a man from Ivory Coast - were transferred to a Greek coastguard boat, he said, where events took a terrifying turn.
They started with the [other] Cameroonian. They threw him in the water. The Ivorian man said: Save me, I dont want to die and then eventually only his hand was above water, and his body was below.
"Slowly his hand slipped under, and the water engulfed him."
Our interviewee says his abductors beat him.
"Punches were raining down on my head. It was like they were punching an animal." And then he says they pushed him, too, into the water - without a life jacket. He was able to swim to shore, but the bodies of the other two - Sidy Keita and Didier Martial Kouamou Nana - were recovered on the Turkish coastline.
The survivors lawyers are demanding the Greek authorities open a double murder case.
