(spoilers about mid game Bloodborne) When giantbomb first started covering the Souls games I loved watching them play, but I was way to afraid to play myself. But after much back and forth I did finally play Dark Souls 1, and oh my... it quickly turned into what I can only describe as an addiction. Frustration, horror, patience and defeat upon defeat, but also so much joy. Joy in the discovery...
For years I never touched Dark Souls thinking it was too hard or that I wouldn't like it. I watched some lets play videos here with with Vinny Caravella and friends, enjoying the spectacle but never considered diving in myself. But this spring the sun of Lordran finally shone upon my face!… before throwing me into the darkness. Skeletons, poison, mushrooms, oh my. As I had seen some videos of t...
I've now put over fifty hours into Morrowind. My Hlaalu stronghold is being built, I'm geared up with some Daedric artifacts, daedric weapons, and glass armor. Even the blinding speed of a certain pair of boots are no longer a problem. Though I've grown accustomed to some of Vardenfell, it is, in many ways, still very alien. Ashlander customs, the corprus disease (which I've just contracted), D...
The Witcher 2 was praised on the podcast, by critics and consumers, but it took a long time for me to truly delve into it. I had heard it was hard to get into, and I can be a real pussy when it comes to play "hard" games. I'm glad I didn't stay away though, cause The Witcher 2 is now one of my favorite games. I did every monster quest, side quest, dice poker and arm wrestling competition. I eve...
Monarch corporation you say... oh my god... I had some free time on my hands. And I hardly think I'm the first to make this connection. What do you think the actual game will be like? First impressions and all.
Filthy rich, quests galore, assassini (!) From Ebonheart I decided to finally visit Vivec (the city I've always heard about). It took me at least an hour until I knew where to go and where shops, guilds and etc. was. Around this time I also learned that the Mages guild has a house in many (if not all) of the major cities, which made traveling a lot easier. After wandering up and down, around an...
Fuck morals, Trial and error, money-money-money After the most strenuous day of my Morrowind adventure so far, I traveled on from Caldera and further North in search of… well, whatever crossed my path. At an intersection I encounter a scantily clad Northman hailing from Whiterun (which I found quite amusing). He had supposedly had all his belongings stolen by a witch, along with it his precious...
#0 Introduction So, I decided to play Morrowind during my summer break, never having played it before. My first Elder Scrolls game was in fact Skyrim. And at the age of 23 (24 in October) I've had many years and chances to get into the earlier games. I have several friends that played Oblivion when it was new, but I never had any particular interest in it. I guess my taste in games has changed...
