They need a cleanse.
I've made it, someone accused me of steering hacks in GT7. I'm an E-B but only because I do unofficial races, but I race against mostly A+ S drivers and I'm on par with them in open lobbies. The guy eventually left the lobby because I chased him down in a model 3 and was 5 seconds ahead of his time in a much lower rated car.
Of course Nintendo would make a separate app instead of putting it on other streaming services
already downloaded
Edit: selection leaves a lot to be desired because of course it does. But it has Metroid prime at least

Is it a hot take to say that Bloodborne gets significantly worse after the cosmic stuff comes to the fore?
By Hitch Go To PostIs it a hot take to say that Bloodborne gets significantly worse after the cosmic stuff comes to the fore?That is a hot take.
Don't think it is at all. The final few areas are quite noticeably worse than the first 2/3rds of the game imo. It's not like... Dark Souls 1 level of drop-off obviously but it was quite disappointing still.
By blackace Go To Postwait. Fromsoft games have stories?Yes but it’s told entirely through 9 hour long YouTube video essays.
By Hitch Go To PostIs it a hot take to say that Bloodborne gets significantly worse after the cosmic stuff comes to the fore?Depends on which parts of the late game you dislike I suppose. Some of the late game bosses definitely feel lesser in quality to me, but late game areas? I liked all of them barring the Nightmare Frontier.
By HottestGrapes Go To PostYes but it’s told entirely through 9 hour long YouTube video essays.
its funny because its true.
By blackace Go To Postwait. Fromsoft games have stories?From soft stories are to YouTube nerds what head canons and ships are to tumblr girls
I also unironically believe FROM Soft games have good stories. Debatable if they’re well told or not. The core plot, setting, lore, characters, etc. are always solid though. Often too ambiguous, but the lack of information promotes intrigue which I don’t consider a bad thing.
If they just accepted modern video game norms and turned item descriptions into audio logs, more people would get it.

Bloodborne is my second favourite game of all time, after Metal Gear Solid. I love games with lots of story and atmosphere, but each game accomplishes that in vastly different ways. Impressive.
Bloodborne is pretty middling as far as story goes.
The lore and world building are top-notch and do most of the heavy lifting.

What would be a D story?
By HottestGrapes Go To PostAre you familiar with David Cage games?sure, but compared to From stories, they seem like masterpieces

Played Elden Ring for a few hours and there’s nothing going on aside from monsters wandering about and sight seeing. Guess there’s a lot of background story/lore being delivered but I never got the feeling I was part of something, just an avatar cutting through a field of monsters. At best it’s this meta thing where the game world knows it’s a game world, and it knows your avatar is being controlled by someone playing a video game.
I think that's a bit reductive.
It's not hard or esoteric to discern a story in Eden Ring, at least in a basic narratological sense.
The opening video probably does more than enough to get you started, and your actions and minimal dialogue point to a clear goal. Which should be more than enough to incite characters into action.
Broad strokes, there was a [Godly] thing holding the world together, and through mostly unknown circumstances, the thing was shattered by its primary caretaker, altering the order of things. Now, bits of that thing went all over the place, unraveling the world and its inhabitants and the most powerful bits ended up in the hands of the many children of the thing's guardian, which created a state of unbalance and infighting, violently reshaping the newly fragmented piece of *this* world.
Some of that "godly grace" touched your character, who at first sight is just another unremarkable being caught in the crossfire. As a result they remain in a state of death, yet still living which if anything gives you time and opportunity to go out and figure shit out. And in their journey you will meet people who encourage you or compete with you in the task of putting the world back together (each with their different philosophy of how best to accomplish this and what should the new order of things be). And maybe even you will, little by little, put together the circumstances of the initial shattering.
The rest is just fluff and filler. A lot of it is interesting dynamics and back stories, intentionally vague or obscured which makes them fun to piece together but not essential to the primary motivation. Thematically it deals with ambition, devoutness, destiny vs self-determination, and other inner turmoils of existence and the search for power.

I love the lore in Bloodborne, but the lore in other from software games has never really interested me for some reason

Don't even need item descriptions to tell that shit, a postage stamp would do.

Speaking of YouTube, was watching some YouTube video essay about the Fallout games and at the very beginning the dude says the first two games were inspired by Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. That novel came out in 2006… exited it right there.
