Of all the MCU movies, I feel like Doctor Strange can get away with having a crapton of CGI stuff going on because magic and dimensions and what not. However, I am worried that this movie might be overstuffed with how much they're trying to do, but the MCU hasn't had a real stinker yet, so I'm tentatively excited.
I was pretty meh on the first Doctor Strange movie, but Wanda being involved definitely makes me more interested, and I'm curious as to how the movie will change the MCU going forward for sure.
Alongside Wanda there's a new character (Nzrevpn Punirm) that I'm quite excited for; there's a few glimpses of them in the trailer if you know the comic version.
I'm definitely going to watch this, but I really can't get over how much of a mouthful the title is. I know most will just call it "The Rings of Power", so they probably should have just left the title at that lol.
Soooooooooo I bought Elden Ring. This is my first FromSoft game since giving the original Dark Souls a try a good while back (after getting it for, like, $5) and bouncing off it hard. I hope I didn't just make a mistake. lmao
I don't think so since everything I've read says that while the combat is still difficult, because it's an open world game and not discrete dungeon levels, if you run into a boss you just can't hack, you can easily leave that boss and try another boss, or just grind up levels for a bit then come back, as well as having npc summons that are actually pretty good and strong long-range spells. Or, if you get in over your head and aggro too many enemies, you can get on your mount and RUN AWAY. lol
In the original, if you were running into a wall on a boss, you were kinda shit out of luck. You could still grind levels, but it felt like your game just came to a stand-still (imo anyway). And if you aggro'd too many enemies, sucks for you because they are following you until they get your ass. XD
I could be wrong and I might still not like FromSoftware games. Time will tell, and I shall report whether I made a mistake or not purchasing Elden Ring.
I'm on the fence about it myself. I've never played any of the Souls games, though I of course know of them and their difficulty. While I'm definitely the type to get very frustrated at video games, I'm also the type that isn't afraid of a game challenge that will take me literal years to complete (I got my "I****e in the Membrane" and "What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been" achievements in World of Warcraft, for example). The deciding factor might be the game format. I'd end up getting it for PC, and I've heard about some performance issues with that version.
I have it on PC and I have had occasional stuttering here and there but thus far, it hasn't affected the gameplay or any fights.
Played some last night and I didn't get terribly far, but I'm already enjoying way more than I did Dark Souls. Plentiful bonfires/sites of grace means you save progress fairly often, as well as make it easy get back to where I died and snag my dropped souls/runes. I've defeated a couple of the smaller bosses, haven't attempted any of the big boys yet.
I've never played any Souls games, but I was thinking of maybe getting this one eventually. I'm too busy with HZD Forbidden West to try to add another open world game to my life right now though haha.
Since it's a been a while, here is some catch-up fanart!
I really like this one of Abigail Ashe, holding her journal and quill, considering how significant those things end up being.

I know I'm not the only fan of Young Justice around here. The trailer for the second half of the fourth season dropped recently, and I'm really excited! I've been enjoying the current season a lot. I also re-watched the third season, and it really is amazing how much every season improves on rewatch? I think the third season still has some pacing issues, but watching it while knowing where things go and while not having to wait between episodes really lets you appreciate how much foreshadowing is going on, and how it all flows together.
Anyone else been watching the new season? What are your thoughts so far?
Logging you in...
