A commenter really wanted me to do a video talking about Illusory Walls in Soulsborne, so I said "Why not?" It's a good'un!

5th gen was iconic, and Pokemon being ballsy enough to not allow the use of any old Pokemon till post-game made it so fresh.

Also the best soundtrack and visuals of the DS era.

There are a lot of instances where they downright misunderstood or changed the visual inspirations for a lot of the game. Which for Demon's Souls, I guess that's fine. Most current fans never played the original.

Bloodborne is a different beast. It lives and dies by it's art direction and design.

Billy S 🏳️‍🌈 @thebillys.bsky.social · 9h

I don't think this is a hot take imo, but if Bloodborne ever does get a remake or re-release, it needs to be FromSoft at the helm. Bloodborne's aesthetic is so intrensically tied to it's gameplay & I just wouldn't trust Bluepoint to translate FromSoft's designs accurately :/

New job listing at Bluepoint Games fuels speculation over its next project, but is Bloodborne really likely?

Alex & Sophi benefit from this, cuz we know the other two tribes are going to war. They can just be numbers and lay low. Sage, honestly, is in a good spot, because Shannon will always be the bigger threat of the pair of them, in case Yellow just decide to pick them off.

I won't have any new videos out until either Thursday or Friday due to a somewhat sore throat (Since I can't record my video scripts at length), but if you want a good Billy S video from the backlog...

Outer Wilds is fun. This is one of my favourite videos on my channel - youtu.be/mJy-QIsUzHI?...

I mean, there's a much easier (imo), way to enter Act 2 without having to deal with any of that. It's just a bit more hidden. But if people actively play with that route in mind, it's a lot more fun.

Still a great game, but it has lower low points than Hollow Knight.

Billy S 🏳️‍🌈 @thebillys.bsky.social · 1d

On a second playthrough, it's not as bad. You have knowledge, you can prep for it, you may even be great at the Last Judge runback platforming.

But first timers / blind players have it rough. And I can't blame them.

Billy S 🏳️‍🌈 @thebillys.bsky.social · 1d

I think it'll be a choke point on player retention for a lot of players, and when it's most people's introduction to the 2nd act (unless you take Phantom's route), that's... not a good thing. IMO.

Then combine that with the first area you visit in the Citadel being the Underworks where, if you have no rosaries, you can't even pay for a bench, and it creates a very oppressive and downright hostile atmosphere that may work for the narrative, but almost caused my partner to drop the game.

Billy S 🏳️‍🌈 @thebillys.bsky.social · 1d

In both my playthrough & my partner's playthrough, the run back to Last Judge (that one conchfly) with a lot of precision platforming + a boss that, while fun, does a lot of damage and can kill quickly, is already quite frustrating to deal with blind.

Billy S 🏳️‍🌈 @thebillys.bsky.social · 1d

No, actually. I think it's brutal, but it serves as the main test to get one of the three melodies, and is the only one that highlights enemy combat which Team Cherry leaned into.

For me, the worst part of the game is entering Act 2 via the Grand Gate.

Billy S 🏳️‍🌈 @thebillys.bsky.social · 1d

God, he's going to hate it. Even with NPC summons, it's brutal, and he struggles more with the NPCs around because they're very distracting (Shakra especially).

I'll make sure he gets some mask upgrades before he deals with it.

Always kind of found it a shame that Morgott's offhand holy weapons weren't usable. Coincidentally, I found the Throwing Blade class pretty underused.... and his offhand weapon is technically a Throwing Blade. I'm going to make it a full-fledged weapon usable alongside any mainhand melee weapon.

I am respectfully salivating at the thought of usable Morgott holy weapons, it was the biggest missed opportunity for FromSoft

The laugh I let out at Gremlins learning languages just so they can be petty and insult the people they rob. The Adaptors also look and seem super cool 👀
