Subway: Prepare to Die Edition
Itās the anniversary of Bloodborneās release today and personally iād love a quarantine event in that gameās underserved multiplayer
a game where people bar themselves in their homes while an eldritch plague plunges the world into deepening horror is also definitely⦠resonant, right now
my housemate has spent the last week doing a 99 arcane build bloodborne run. been fun watching that game again.
May I recommend the GREAT SCYTHE
Dark Souls is forever
I streamed this for about 2 hours and it was Real Good. Got through Sens Fortress so that skinless gargoyles could carry me to a Castle For Big Boys. it was great
someone is making a mod for souls 2 that attempts to redesign the game to be lit like the original trailers:
normally Iām skeptical about this kind of thing but the guy doing this seems to be taking a very thoughtful and considerate approach. I hope he manages to pull through.
what if that mod is what top tubes been up to after leaving the forum
a win win for all parties involved I guess
good vid
the bone fist justifies all of dark souls 2
John Berger knows all about the inside eyes:
A woman must continually watch herself. She is almost continually accompanied by her own image of herself. Whilst she is walking across a room or whilst she is weeping at the death of her father, she can scarcely avoid envisaging herself walking or weeping. From earliest childhood she has been taught and persuaded to survey herself continually. And so she comes to consider the surveyor and the surveyed within her as the two constituent yet always distinct elements of her identity as a woman. She has to survey everything she is and everything she does because how she appears to men, is of crucial importance for what is normally thought of as the success of her life. Her own sense of being in herself is supplanted by a sense of being appreciated as herself by anotherā¦
One might simplify this by saying: men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves. The surveyor of woman in herself is male: the surveyed female. Thus she turns herself into an object ā and most particularly an object of vision: a sight.
idk if anyone crossposted this
Iām not really sold on this analysis, though it has some good observations.
I donāt have a lot of patience for āAND THE GAME MAKES THE PLAYER COMPLICIT IN THESE ACTSā analysis, tbh.
Itās trying to turn Bloodborne into Spec Ops: the Line which is just reductive.
The souls always was about being complicit in eating each other and Bloodborne is the most literal about it, so, idk, at least that works.
Sure sure, but I mean
This is just stupid
Anyone who ever writes āthe only way to win is to not play!ā should have a lifetime ban from games criticism
