Thank you very much! I'm happy to be back! Hope you've been well!

Lol I was too charmed by the chanting song of the Shrine to be bothered by the enemies (which are perfectly manageable of you just take your time like in eve,1#ry FS game ever).
"but there is a certain beauty in an inconsistent and flawed experience" never more sincere words have been spoken. That's the reason why I just keep thinking about some games after a year instead of other "classics" that I just forgot about after 4 months.

I also love every FS games and I just put them all on the same crowded pedistal for different reasons which I value all equally, but I think I should pick the original Dark Souls just because is one of the fewer games that fascinates me for its story (I don't really care for that stuff personally, so this hits harder for me), in particular the theme about the fire that forged the world, basically.
Bloodborne is really close though.

Personally, I've never seen all that "Omg this is just DS1 once again" in DS3, It has many distinct areas and combat pacing compared to other games. Yeah, it's pretty linear the progression, but the level design has still lots of creative branching paths.. along with an excellent bosses selection. It does get better and better as you progress. Definitely my favourite difficulty wise. I also love how it has the most "end of days" atmosphere of all games.

Hi there!
After the absurdly long an convoluted bosses' combos in Elden Ring, DS2 was pretty relaxing to do. It has some annoying spots like Iron Keep and some DLCs boss corridors, but nothing too hard with enough caution and Adaptability. I also loved Majula, Shrine of Amana, the Dragon Nest+Shrine, Heides, The Gutter+Black Gulch.. It has a lot of neat scenaries and music.
It ain't my favourite, but is still a must play for fans who already played the other modern From Software games. What are your favourites today?

Ah man, you had such a nice, tidy and low backlog... do you really intend to play and beat all of the bundle games?

How long did adding all the games take in total?

I really did enjoy Fallout 1, but I lost out on a good bit of content due to the stress of the time limits, ngl. I don't yet know if I actually have a deadline to find the GECK before my village fucking bites it, but that singular deadline is a lot nicer than like, Mutants destroying entire cities.

...although I think I brought that on myself because I think in the final product that normally only happens to your Vault and to Necropolis, and the other invasions were cut? And I used a QOL-modded Fallout 1 that added them back.


Can't wait to find out the Enclave fucking decimates important locations if I take too long

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrate it! May you have much happiness and good fortune in gaming for the holidays!

I ran into a Raider ambush and the man gave his life to let me run the fuck away from it. I could very well have loaded a save, but I respected the moment so hard that I let it be.

Dogmeat is all I need anyway <3

But R.I.P Ian, a real brother.

It wouldn't be so bad if everything would just stand still, but trying to aim with the sticks while you and everything else is moving... I don't know how people do it. Personally, I consider achievements to be a waste of my time, and if I ever get all of them for a game - oddly enough, I just did that with the Seiken Densetsu 3 remake that I'm playing right now - it's completely by coincidence. Most of them are either, "PERFORM EIGHT HUNDRED FLYING HEADSTOMPS WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GROUND" with some stupid bullshit name like "The Floor is Lava", or they're just things you get from playing through the game; I'd be hard-pressed to think of any that ever improved a game.

You can really tell that just about all Gearbox did before Borderlands was Half-Life mods, because it does really feel like something is off; I didn't notice that until I played 2, but if it felt too short, 2 is absolutely what you're looking for. 1 has about three plot points throughout the entire game, but 2 is where the plot for the first game is, and then it has its own plot on top of that. Along with 5 expansions. And also 5 more smaller expansions. It's a huge game, maybe the biggest of the franchise. The expansions for the first game are a bit mixed; if you only play one of them, make it The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, because that's easily the best. General Knoxx has potential, Claptrap's Robot Revolution is pretty fun, and Moxxi's Underdome Riot is one I barely bothered to play at all, and definitely wouldn't recommend playing solo, because it's absolutely not built for that.

Yeah, it's time to clear out my and make them I'm planning on sweeping up the others first, and having a Yakuza marathon at the end, quite possibly followed by a Mega Man franchise victory lap before I start on my 16-bit games that've been piling up over the last... iunno... 6 years or so. I've started using some as laundry day games (along with a horde of non-GOG, DRM-free PC titles I've gotten from all over the place), so maybe it won't be super huge by the time I actually get there. I did a lot of stuff in each Yakuza, and left things unfinished mostly because I wanted to find out what this Premium Adventure thing is all about, and... well, you see the result of that. 7's probably gonna take the longest, because I did almost NOTHING in Kamurocho; one I got there, I practically made a beeline for the end, which was probably a mistake, because the final boss felt like he took HOURS to beat.

Hey Dodo, I tend to really like your Kabal from Mortal Kombat 3 avatar. I personally would have gone for the backwards cap wearing cop Stryker.

Heyy thank you! I'm having a blast. One of the coolest games I've had the pleasure of playing Hope you're having a good time with Borderlands as well!

Hey Dodo, I really like your save battery avatar. If it runs dry, clock based events will no longer function.

Hey. [snap snap] No, you were right before, I was just funnin' ya. I was just trying to see what I could come up with. It was either that or purple Koromon.

Hey Dodo, I really like your flea market Dragon Quest Slime avatar. The only thing it needs for full effect is for it to have a human nose.

I played the GOG version; I mark any DRM-free version of a game as PC, because to me, it doesn't matter beyond that, so only games that require launchers get their respective branding... though you'll see Epic at the bottom, because I'm pretty over their shit, even for free games. It was fun while it lasted, and I got to play some cool stuff, but I purchased most of what I liked on GOG afterwards. I do have a PS3, but I wasn't into that kind of game back in its era, and I can't play Shooters worth a damn with a controller. My lady is better at Shooters than I am, and she can't do it, either; we were at an arcade a few years back, and she wanted to try Doom Eternal on one of the consoles they had (don't remember which system it was), and she couldn't do it. That's the same reason I missed out on Borderlands during its initial run. Well, that and there were a MILLION Shooters coming out every day back then, so it didn't really look any different to me.

I saw! I don't remember where the Dahl Headlands are, and I really need to play it again sometime, but I am SO close to finishing this set for my backlog (only 15 => to go!), and I don't want to deviate from that until I do. And yes, the music is great; 2 has my favorite music in the series so far, but that Fyrestone theme that plays while you're wandering the desert is just PERFECT. I'm a big fan of the second wind mechanic, too; I'm not super great at Shooters, and being punished for one little flub is irritating, so being able to save it with a skill shot is very welcome, especially when healing doesn't always come easily. If you're missing the story, don't worry: 2 has ALL of the story. I played as the siren, but the soldier will almost definitely be my next playthrough; 2 has the characters from 1 return and it fleshes them out quite a bit, and Roland is easily one of my favorites.

New Vegas is the most functionally broken 3D game I've ever played in my entire life. I had someone spawn halfway into a wall, standing on a shelf in his house before falling into the void forever; I saw someone run into a mailbox until finally just clipping right through it; and I saw an NPC's pathfinding straight-up BREAK, leaving him unable to move. I say that because Fallout 3 wasn't functional; it was definitely worse! I finally got to see some of that "Bethesda magic" that people talk about, and I wasn't impressed. Yeah, that could do it; funny how we can often trace these sorts of things back to some kind of childhood trauma.

As much as I like Devil May Cry 2, the costumes it offers always seemed weirdly out of step with what you get in the rest of the series; the Must Die Mode costumes made more sense, but between that and Lucia's sweater and sandals combination, I kept low-key wondering when I would unlock Bjork's swan dress or something.

Nice! I honestly have no idea what the difference between the versions is, but like you said, it is good to have the choice. The first Darksiders usually comes with the regular and WARMASTERED (you have to say it like that) versions, and as I understand it, the latter has spruced up graphics, but runs like... balls. Good timing, too; I just finished 3 not that long ago, and while I am moving on to the rest of my backlog, what I really want to do is just play through the whole thing again as Moze. BUT YOU ENJOY! Glad my knowledge could be useful to you!

ja mislio to ti napravio, savršeno je

Absolutely splendid cover

Same... It's only been a few years since I first played it, but it's something of a comfort game at this point. The art keeps me interested, and the community is one of the most dedicated, so even though it's pretty small, I think it will be relevant in my life for quite a while. I want to get playing some of the fan games soon enough.

I've been kind of inactive on here, since I've been kind of burned out / mostly playing games without any real progress to track.

now this is a sick looking backlog!

Yeah dont really feel a need to update after each session anymore and i forget to check the time anyway lol. Mostly gonna do it if its a game you played and i have not for example when i get to morrowind. And yeah Ive been having a blast, will never capture the magic of the first time i played it but I appreciate it in other ways now.
