DQ 7 remake because I never played it any other way. So far, it feels like an updated turn-based JRPG. Graphics are like 3D renderings of the 2D Dragon Quest games. Nothing crazy for difficulty, but there is a lot of effort in this game. Many scenes are voice-acted.

Well, Nioh 3 is everything I wanted and a whole lot more. Absolutely superb.

I tried the demo and it seemed to run decently until there was fire on the screen, when it dipped quite a lot, I'm not sure if I should get it or not on my current PC build. Rise of the Ronin fucked me in the ass that game has unplayable performance.
 
Decided to play Dark Souls remastered. I recently beat DS2, and I remember not really enjoying my time with either the first or third game. As I started playing it this time I wasn't as trash as I originally was, but I also just realize without a co-op partner I just refuse to bash my head against a wall later on in the game. Long story short, I used a well known glitch to duplicate every soul consumable I can find. My character is level 256, and my strength is 99 two handing a big sword with enough health to tank most attacks that would instakill. I'm essentially playing the game on an easier mode since I can still reasonably die if I'm acting like an absolute retard.

What's the dupe? I could look it up, but you may as well share. I only enjoyed DS2 out of the trilogy as well and while I've won it, I never completed 1 or 3 and both are taking up space on my HDD so I might as well easy mode DS1 and get through it at least.

Here's the way I do it on console, I'm fairly certain it's different on PC.

To do it, you will have to fight your way to Undead parish to unlock the blacksmith. You'll need about 3000 souls, and you'll use those to buy 999 wooden arrows.

After that it's changing the item order, moving the soul consumable you wanna use below your estus flask in the inventory screen. Sometimes they won't go in that slot, but if you have something like humanities (which can also be duped) or a second soul consumable you can put the item in the spot beneath your buffer item and when you dupe that one it'll just bump the next one in place.



When you're all set up, go into the arrow section of the inventory. Make like you're gonna drop all 999 then hit cancel. Swap menu tabs with RB/R1 and hover over brightness. You'll have to time a button press of A/X and RB/R1 again. If you just see the inventory screen again, you'll have to restart from the drop arrows step. When you do it right, it'll open the brightness slider screen and you'll be able to see the inventory screen behind it. Hit down once, and press A/X. It'll display the options menu tab again and you're gonna press down until you're on the button to quit the game. Hit A/X and it should display a use item prompt. Change quantity to 999 and BAM, you just used a single soul consumable 999 times. Rinse and repeat with every soul consumable you find and you'll be making NG+ builds possible before you reach the second bell of awakening. I just made it to blighttown and the only real enemies I have is gravity and poison.

Thanks fam! I play on PC so I'll see if it's viable, if not I'm sure there's other ways.

Why not just cheat engine?
ETA: Finished Darksiders 1 on Apocalyptic (Hard) in under 9 hours. I'm pretty pleased with that, considering my penchant for going out of my way to collect everything and actually managing to ignore that urge overall.
100% achievements finished. I think I 1shot all of the bosses. I will say I "cheated" and started with the Abyssal armour that you can collect, rather than manually collecting it a second time.

If you're into action RPGs in the style of God of War and Devil May Cry, I think this is a safe recommend on sale. Depending on how fast you are at collecting, you'll have around 20-30 hours of game time. There's not a ton of replayability, sadly, and the second to last area is a bit of a doozy in terms of how well crafted a puzzle is and the fact that you have to backtrack many times over if you're collecting things, specifically just this area.
Darksiders 1 never gets difficult to the point of frustration but it does get grindy if you want to 100% it. There's an achievement for riding around for 100 miles and while I don't remember if it took a long time on PS3 when I originally played it, it did take me like 30 minutes of using a rubber band to hold the analog stick down so you ride in a circle, and occasionally clicking the right trigger to make the horse go faster. Levelling up all of your weapons is also time consuming, but easy, especially if you cheese it by force spawning a bunch of enemies.

The voice cast is great, the art style is gorgeous and Warmastered edition really makes it shine, even if there are some minor changes that I don't really understand but I'm not too much of a purist to recommend the original over the remastered version.

Total playtime snuck up just past 36 hours, I AFK'd a bunch.

I bought Darksiders 1 and 2 on sale last year and I remember hitting a boss fight on horseback and the game bugged and I was playing a few other things and dropped it. I'll have to check it out in a week or so when I'm finished with DS1 and playing DS3 Co-op with a friend.

Weird, I've played this game a bunch of times and I don't think I've ever had a bug except one time I broke out of the closed off fight area because of the special action kill you can do. No crashes either. I do recall my PS3 having some complaints in certain areas with loading but that wasn't an issue with Warmastered on PC.
Fair warning on Darksiders 2, if you're a 100%'er like myself, keep a guide up for the side quests. I would normally suggest to just go in blind and enjoy the game, but they made some of the side quests missable and there's one specific side quest that has unironically given me trauma.
 
Green Hell, and I'm loving it. I've been interested for a long time in survival games, and I made myself winnow my Steam wishlist down more (trash I owuldn't actually play), and one of the few of that that was still left was this one. I have played a lot of Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey in the past and I loved Far Cry: Primal, so this is squarely in a specific unga bunga caveman mode vein I really connect with. Me, a stick, a snake to stick with my stick.

You've got an actual story, not really a GOOD story as such but justification that makes it meaningful, which is something I think pretty much all games need, the plot can be as paper thin as "defeat the Ender Dragon" but a game does need a plot. This one involves researchers stranded with some savages trying to find medicine. Game's very lethal and rooted around camps. You fuck up, get injured/wounded/posioned/whatever, you die rapidly unless you know exactly hte counterplay and probably have it on hand at the moment. Among other things I have died:
- Of jaguar maulings (repeatedly)
- Bit by a snake because my spear missed and I tried to axe it (stupid)
- Bit by a spider and didn't know how to medicate it
- Picked up a poison dart frog knowing full well what poison dart frogs are
- Gave myself violent food poisoning eating a mushroom that looked like an alien for no reason
- Falling asleep on the ground seconds from my shelter because I overexerted myself, catching worms, dying

Mostly you just do ungabunga shit while keeping the plot moving forward by exploring. Eat banana. Eat nut. Crack open coconut. Spear a snake. Collect rain during the rainfall in a tortoise shell. Make tools (not, like, making making, I mean, just crafting like any other game). Start fires. Pull leeches off of you. The inventory is very nicely done, hybrid of weight puzzle, inventory puzzle and specific tools/resources just having their own limits that's justified diegetically as different pouches and what not on the backpack, and when you learn it, like Zomboid, it flows seemlessly even as you have to do things like start a fire up or tote building materials around. The medical system has shades of Far Cry where you actually see your nasty wounds and wrap them up and what not, you lance worms out with knives, it's nasty.

You can LARP a pacifist by getting blowdarts (it's going to be a pain in the ass). You can LARP a cannibal psychopath and eat the hostile natives and collect their skulls.
