well it's quite simple: unlike the demo for reynatis, where it was so boring that i gave up after the tutorial because the combat was so frictionless, i actually took damage in the anomalith demo and had to do stuff to not get killed
AUTOMATON WEST@automatonwest.bsky.social · yesterdayUpcoming anime survival horror shooter ANOMALITH is seeing unprecedented popularity outside of Japan. The developers at FuRyu want to know: ・Where did you find out about the game? ・What attracted you to it?
IDEA: game with a perfect deflect system, but after you deflect an enemy one time, the insult makes them so mad that all of their attacks after recovering can't be deflected or even blocked
the original lighting emphasizes one of my favorite things about souls games; they're totally unafraid of placing new, bizarre enemies that are just visible enough from afar yeah you lose the shock of it blasting through a wall, but now *you* have to approach it after saying "what the fuck is that"
illusory wall@illusorywall.bsky.social · 4d agoHere's another lighting change between the original Dark Souls & the remaster, this time for the worse.

you ever think about how pierre taki wanted to be in judgement but was removed because he did drugs, but now snoop dogg and tupac are gonna be in stranger than heaven. snoop dogg who famously does drugs. tupac who is famously not alive to choose whether he appears in a game i just think that's neat
regardless of whether you find this change to be good or bad, i think we can all agree: whoever was told to do it has probably already been laid off

the first wuchang did get those bizarre patches which muddled the story due to pressure from chinese nationalists, but considering leenzee was dissolved and the press release keeps bringing up artistic intent... maybe it's good news? but 505 was also the publisher of the first game so... maybe bad??

Manisha Krishnan@manishakrishnan.bsky.social · last wk.Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...
some statements have no obvious factual backing while still being observably true. for example: most of the music in mega man 1 sounds italian
