I don't think Gothic Remake was very well tested

000

GrandTalks @vagrandtalks.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

#GothicRemake initial impressions: Incredibly faithful art direction, I see the effort put into it. I also feel that for a remake it really sits too much one to one, aside from typical graphical glow ups, story, quests, characters are all the same with barely any additions.

I'm testing a lot of stuff in the Onimusha demo and found this interaction

GrandTalks @vagrandtalks.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Onimusha Demo is absolutely incredible! I haven't been satisfied with a combat system like this since sekiro. Having the ability to just pure parry a boss with a good and readable moveset is a lost art these days.

Ludwig - also known as that one horse from Berserk. Suffers from typical Bloodborne problem of being big and erratic in his first phase. The second one however is just much easier to read. It doesn't help that he seems to have some problems when it comes to turning around to reach me

000

GrandTalks @vagrandtalks.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Lady Maria was a tad more challenging bossfight than Ludwig, part of this is because her fight requires tighter positioning which is harder to perform on k&b. Still, I love her arena and overall design, her attacks have a good flow and are very readable. Last phase can be incredibly scary...

GrandTalks @vagrandtalks.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Watched "Brotherhood of the Wolf" It's a very good movie that inspired some of the aesthetics, characters and weapons in bloodborne. Hunting and understanding what the beast is was fun, and as always, the truth ends up that bit more interesting

I finished #SpaceMarine2 didn't stream the whole of it, because of technical annoyances and it wasn't a genre I'm very interested in, but it is a great game. I hope Titus gets his peace one day.

I played through #HullRupture playtest. It's been a long time since playtest or demo gave me so much fun. Combining ship building, resource management, and tower defense works perfectly here, and that's not even talking about beautiful pixel graphics. High Recommend! youtube.com/shorts/HdJQ7...

There exists a demo project that changes Deen's #FateStayNight anime into VN format. It's absolute trolling but I love hilarious projects like those. Check it out: deentard.itch.io/deenstay-night

I've played through #IdolsofAsh - it's an incredible reverse climbing game, where you try to get down as a massive centiped wiggles after you. I had a lot of fun with this game, and it was a steal to take it from itch.io for free! While short, it's very satisfying, but with some occasional fails!

The sequel to #MortalShell has released a gameplay showcase and I have to say, I'm impressed, looks like a very big jump both graphically and on scale, with some incredibly fun elements inbetween. Changing into a sheep to fight people is a power move tbh. youtu.be/cPSE1yrooT4

Played through Shadow of The colossus while using anki deck for japanese. Inbetween beating the colossus I was taking breaks and imagined I was studying language of the ancient civilization.

Chainsaw Man part 2 felt like Kishimoto kept fumbling ideas over and over again, until he couldn't stand the burden of it and had to finish it. It doesn't help that the ending is just nonsensical and gets worse the more logic you apply to it.

I've played #AllHailtheOrb demo. Another pixel style idle clicker about dealing with a mysterious orb, very similar to #TowerWizard but with some more annoying quirks, like the storage limit that will catch you unaware if you idle too long. I like it tho.

Working with audio is an incredible pain, for one I don't fully know how to utilize the audio setup well enough, and two; I overworked my throat so bad I started spewing blood.

Funny that the only games that look true next gen are Demon Souls and Crimson Desert, and neither use Unreal Engine 5.

I've taken to playing #TheLastFaith recently. it's an incredible metroidvania with gritty artstyle similar to bloodborne and blasphemous. Thankfully this one is also more focused on combat than platforming. I'm streaming it daily on my twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/vagrandtalks

GrandTalks @vagrandtalks.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

I played #Crisol Theater Of Idols, while its world and locations have charm, the overall gameplay ended up too prolonged and tedious. Puzzles were a chore, and health-ammo mechanic could be also more interesting. Dolores is one of the worst "stalker" type enemies I've seen.

GrandTalks @vagrandtalks.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Things like those often happen in modding communities. Skyrim, Elden Ring and Gothic's lesser modding teams have a tendency to steal mods and content from other games and each other, especially when they set out to do massive content mods.

GrandTalks @vagrandtalks.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Played #BladesofFire - pretty challenging soulslike with big focus on forging your own weapons. There's no exp system, instead grind enemies for materials and stronger weapon blueprints. I ended up enjoying the demo a lot. It's a very fun game. #NextFest
