Did I Actually Just Finish Bloodborne?

Posted on June 12, 2016 by baudattitude

Yes. Yes, I did. Going from “OK, I’m going to man up and try this Demon’s Souls thing” to, two months later, finishing the last of From Software’s series of rather brutal RPGs has been an interesting experience.  It’s made … Continue reading →

Posted on June 6, 2016 by baudattitude

After finishing Estival Versus, I had three PS4 games sitting on my shelf taunting me from their shrinkwrap.  Two of them – Nights of Azure and Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess – are JRPGs that heavily emphasize the general bustiness … Continue reading →

Posted on June 5, 2016 by baudattitude

This makes eight total platinum trophies, three of them for entries in the Senran Kagura series.  Say what you will about the series, it doesn’t make you jump through a ton of crazy hoops to get cheevos.  If you just … Continue reading →

What the heck is an “Estival”?

Posted on June 2, 2016 by baudattitude

So, after a steady diet of From Software’s finest, I needed something a little more fluffy.  This took the form of two visual novels (Aozora Meikyuu and Sakura Beach 2), THREE hidden-object games (Enigmatis 2: The Mists of Ravenwood, Empress … Continue reading →

Did I Actually Just Finish Dark Souls III?

Posted on May 27, 2016 by baudattitude

Yes.  Yes, I did. It took me over 50 hours to grind my way through, which is apparently WAY over the curve, but I’m fine with that.  I was very uncertain about what I was getting myself into back on … Continue reading →

On The Perils Of Over-Specialization

Posted on May 25, 2016 by baudattitude

Bro, Do You Even BlueBro?

Posted on May 21, 2016 by baudattitude

So, there are a couple of different Covenants in Dark Souls III that revolve around helping other people.  The Warriors of Sunlight (“SunBros”), as previously mentioned, hang out near boss fights to lend a hand if needed.  I started off … Continue reading →

Bro, Do You Even SunBro?

Posted on May 16, 2016 by baudattitude

Dark Souls III: Okay, NOW it gets hard. 

Posted on May 15, 2016 by baudattitude

So, after triumphantly smashing my way through three Souls games in a row, I wasn’t going to be able to put off buying DS3 until the next Steam sale. What I’m saying is, I bought a PC game at full … Continue reading →

Did I Actually Just Finish Dark Souls II?

Posted on May 13, 2016 by baudattitude

Yes.  Yes, I did. Dark Souls II is one of those games that is a little divisive among fans of the series.  It’s a little less free-form and a little more linear than the original Dark Souls, and there are … Continue reading →
