I was watching "...why Skyrim?" by Razbuten on sloptube this aft and it's so weird that it finally took Starfield for people to realise. Like Fallout 76 wasn't enough, only now are negative things people were first saying about Skyrim in 2012 finally bleeding into mainstream consciousness. It's so wild, like wow they ruined the magic system? The game has worse writing than a PS1 era Mega Man X game??? Skyrim is just shitty Game of Thrones?? Welcome to thirteen years ago!!

Bethesda hasn't made a really good game since 2002, but it'll probably be years before that realisation sinks in.

What do you think of Hollow Knight?

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

I haven't played it. It looks like it's primarily melee focused which is a minus for me and I've heard it has a dropping shit on death mechanic which is one of my most hated mechanics in all of gaming.

Yeah, it has a Dark Souls dropping currency mechanic, though personally I generally didn't find it too intrusive since it doesn't have instant death anything (also currency isn't that important). In my experience usually it's dropping on death combined with instant death that make it really oppressive.
