My reaction to the locust Preacher after I got past the giant with all the ruin archers. Just thought it'd be funny to have Apostle Patches reacting.

One of the harder parts of Ringed City is making sure which preacher is friendly. I don't like hurting them. The ones in the swamp are like a family commune and it's cute when the babies do the albaneuric pond wading thing.

I can never remember the name of the big erd tree city is Elden Ring (It’s lyndell, I just goggled it). I keep thinking it’s called the ringed city

1, It’s /the/ elden ring city, so obviously it’s called the ringed city

2.  it’s surrounded by a two big ringed wall

3. I played the dark souls 3 dlc, and idk the actual ringed city also had a confusing street layout.

Dark Souls III + DLC

Completed: 10/02/2022

Playtime: 36h 34m

Ah Dark Souls III, sometimes even more of a black sheep than Dark Souls II. The first time I played it, there was definitely a bit of a Souls burnout going on. The areas felt too familiar, it mashed together elements of the original Dark Souls with Bloodborne but didn't do anything particularly better than either, and the formula was getting a bit...too easy and predictable.

I never played the DLC though, so I took the chance to replay the game from the start after taking a healthy break to see if my opinion on the game changed. I gave myself the added challenge of making it through without using a shield, relying on twelve years of experience to get me by. And you know what? The game is pretty damn great.

The world design, while not as metroidvania as the original game, nor as tantalizingly exciting as its progenitor Elden Ring, really nails individual Souls level design perfectly. Areas are large and layered, with shortcuts and secrets and hidden paths to explore and I found myself impressed by the sheer scale and design of it all. In fact, sometimes areas felt too large, and I found myself going down one path for quite a ways before realizing shit, this is the way I actually need to go and then backtracking to get all the trinkets. Fun stuff!

The DLC is also quite excellent. While I didn't appreciate the enemy spam in a few of the areas, the unique and gross world design felt fresh for the series. The experience is also capped off by a series of excellent boss fights. Slave Knight Gael gets all the glory as the best boss of the series (and he is indeed quite the distillation of the best kind of boss Souls games can offer), but I had the most fun learning the multi-stage kick-your-ass gauntlet of Sister Friede. I wasn't disappointed in either encounter and was pleased to find the series still had surprises up its sleeve.

I also got a good chuckle at the digs at Dark Souls II.
