      It spaces out releases for me ngl, so it's okay. I was still hoping it came out on the 25th, but that would leave the latter half of the year bereft for me.

      Guess I'll have some more time with HD2 until DD2 comes out.

    praise-it So hyped

    All the potential lore implications I'm noticing from seconds of gameplay are crazy

    That jump kick weapon art was amazing, probably on a fist weapon like that one from the Dark Souls 2 DLC

        Of course, I had to ask Miyazaki if Shadow of the Erdtree will once again include a poisoned swamp.

        "In a word, yes," he said. "But this was actually a point of introspection for me after creating the base game. It was only after creating it that I realised I really like to create poisoned swamps. And this was a little place of introspection and reflection for me. So maybe, when players reach the poisoned swamp in the DLC, they will feel a little bit of this retrospection."

        He cant keep getting away with it

    Really curious to see what the difficulty curve is like. Base game starts out hard, then gets way too easy until like the last 5 bosses (at least 3 of which are hidden and optional). Will everything be a stat check?
