I played Bloodstained for about an hour and half and it seems real promising. Thank christ... I was really worried about it.

When they released the E3 demo for backers, I knew Bloodstained was the real shit as soon as I felt how it controlled. I'm just waiting for my physical backer copy to arrive probably sometime this week or the next.
i don't think so, they made a lot of changes from necrodancer that made it significantly easier. but it's all for the better imho cos i burned on necrodancer real fast (even though I love the OSTs)
Nice hearing these good bloodstained reviews, I think I will grab it this weekend. Keep me updated friends.
So I ordered a new router today from Amazon and I love how every single time I buy something on that site, they always go all in with the whole "Maaaaan, you should totally pay for Prime so that you can get it shipped tomorrow for free duuude!!!!"... Then I always end up picking the free shipping instead cause fuck Prime and then I still get it the next day even if the original estimate when you pick the free shipping is always like a week away even if the package is just going from Toronto to Montreal lol
It's good to hear that Bloodstained turned out well. I didn't back it at the time (thanks to reservations caused by certain other Kickstarter projects to create spiritual successors to beloved 2D Japanese games with their godfathers' blessings and involvement) so I'll have to buy it soon.

PC, PS4 & Xbox One on the 18th and Switch on the 25th. Problems so far from what I'm reading from impressions seem to be technical stuff like glitches or frame drops. It would be interesting to know how the Switch version performs.

So that was what the update was for earlier today. I'm still around the beginning(chapter 4). Travelling/family/E3 really made me stop playing that game. Looking forward to returning to it as soon as I beat Cadence of Hyrule later today.
Sexual content, you say...?
Oh that's pretty awesome! I wish it was there when I played! I'll have to today l replay it.

That IGN quote for ME3 lol. I just remembered that Jessica Chobot is in that game as well, what a weird thing.

This dude and Sarah Schachner are the Jesper Kyd and Austin Wintory of this gen.

Many people slept on this game but his score and the sound mixing were like the reason the game had quite the impact.
the funny thing about ME vs DA is that ME1 had basically identical armor between men and women while DA:O had goofy boob plates, but then ME moved toward having its female characters in sexy skintight jumpsuits and high heels while DA got rid of boob armor and gave its female characters outfits made to match their personality and role
Even Rogue had a cute crossover tune mixing different eras of Ass Creed.
I wish this game didn't play like absolute trash on the Xbox One
You're right it's all about the controls. Everything in the game feels good, just like the classics. It's definitely more Castlevania DS than Symphony though.
It's a very good game.
It's a very good game because halfway through it becomes a mostly different game. That's such a weird thing that doesn't happen usually.
Like it eventually becomes something between Hotline Miami and Battlefield 2 on console at a certain point.
And that's weird and cool as shit.
What the ever living hell is the way Waypoint does podcasts/live video? Their site doesn't seem to have any of the E3 days besides Day -2, YouTube only has the LIVE podcast video up until Day 2 and Pocket Casts has them all. What a mess.
Edit: Wait....the Days are hidden behind very specific solo game titles. That is terrible. For instance, Day 3 is behind this title:
'Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2' Makes Seattle the Star
That sure does scream Day 3 E3 talk to me!

I'm willing to go a long way with a game but if it just feels bad on a moment to moment level I'm tapping out
Huh. I want to check it out now. I was only aware of it because I backed Chernobylite and they're working on that.
As others have said, it's kind of a mess. But it gets kinda weird and interesting mechanically (though it's never really that challenging).
But hey, I was right about Dusk, so maybe I was right about this?
(This has a bunch of walking-simmy narrative stuff tho if you're not into that)
OP

I think the story and ideas it presents makes this perhaps the best walking simmy of its kind besides Edith Finch? at least it kept me engaged all the way to the end. I will say though that by the end it kind of gets lost in its own ass but I really do appreciate what they went for and tried to do. It's ambitious in a way that very few games of this budget are. Regardless though, the score and sound mixing are unlike anything I've ever experienced in any game.
So, yes it absolutely goes up its own ass, yes it mostly earns it, and yes its soundtrack is absolutely fantastic.
As I said, Deriviere is Kyd and Wintory-tier for me now. That dude is amazing at his job.
Finished Prey. Easily the best part of Prey. Except the part where I spent like 4x as long in the endgame because I was chasing a hidden ending that doesn't actually exist. (Right at the tail end of reaching it I looked it up and NOTHING. Agghhhhhhhh.)
I liked what they were going for, and see where their design decisions are coming from... but, man, I wish they were more focused in the delivery. It's like the story and gameplay belong to different games and got mixed together at the eleventh hour. Which makes sense given its troubled development history, I guess, but is still a bummer all the same.
It makes their podcasts impossible to find, but fortunately acast and Spotify have you covered. (Which is a double bummer because they actually have some great stuff in the podcast companion article, like helpful links.)

They have really weird article titles 'cause they need that Facebook SEO, which mandates a specific length and phrasing or something. They've talked about it before.

Oh good, I haven't listened yet, and really need instructions on how to shave my balls.
The squeezy-brain-razor method isn't working, according to ads, so I need help.
I was really worried about Bloodstained, and yeah the visuals are underwhelming.
But other than that I have had a pretty great time with it so far.
Hard to see how if you are a fan of the previous metroidvanias you wouldn't like this one.

Also Mass Effect 3 was a game i finished and went "That was great! I loved everything about it!" Then I went online and found out I was wrong.
2 is clearly the best, but I really enjoyed 3. I haven't gone back to it though
Honestly though the one time I went too smooth I had massive chafing issues.
I'ma be honest: like my face hair, I've never really had a problem. I don't itch via my own hair.
Sorry, good luck!
