I like them both but the music in the 1971 version is sooo good. don't like the trippy boat section though.

Quote from: Legend on Oct 26, 2025, 06:28 PMThe problem is, the games will be windows games either way. No dev from this point forward will make xbox ports. Instead it'll just be verifying and optimizing the windows build for this hardware.

Dual boot seems like a lot of work for very little gain.

I'm fine with that.

This basically will make Xbox the same as Steam in design (unless MS screws that up).

Watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) on Netflix before they got delisted.

1971 movie was waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy better despite how much I love Tim Burton's movies.

Quote from: Legend on Oct 31, 2025, 11:04 PMDark Souls 2 has a lot of doors for blocking progression, but it doesn't really have shortcuts.

Wait what do you mean? In all games isn't it the case that once you gat far enough, you open a door or something from the back and gain a way to skip stuff?

Ds2 lacks that? Then what are doors for blocking progression?

Doors mostly just outright block progression.

There's an item that removes statues, a few keys, a ring that opens up a set of doors to continue moving onto the next area. And there's one door that you pay someone to switch. You need those things to outright access the area.

The game basically has like 4 or 5 branching paths away from the main base. There's only like 1 obscure spot where two of the branches cross physically. You do need to get items from each branch to progress in the others.

DS2 largely expects that you will use fast travel.

I can only really think of a few shortcuts in the game. 1 of them is really terrible and I wasn't even thinking about it. There's a door that you can jump to in the middle of a ravine and skip like 4 enemies.

And the 3rd area of the game has a door that you can unlock that works as a normal Souls shortcut.

DS2 has something like 30+ areas, and I think only like 4 of them have something that counts as an honest to goodness shortcut.

Oh nice. American horror story season 13 cast just announced.

Lots of greats returning. And Ariana Grande in place of lady Gaga.
