My sister has become the mother of twin girls at the age of 20! We were just talking about age this morning too.

OMG! Congrats to her!!!

MilkieTea was talkin' bout wishing they'd been born just a few years earlier. I sorta felt that way about the 80s. We had an old VHS tape recording almost the entirety of Transformers Season 2.



I always wished I coulda been there with my older brothers when the episodes first aired, because I was obsessed with the Transformers and their associated toy line for the entirety of my childhood, well up into when they came out with Beast Wars.

And I musta made at least 100 jokes about the distant year 2005 in regards to the movie.



I used to have the entirety of the Combaticons who merged to become Bruticus, but we lost them when we moved back to the states in 1996.

Looks exactly like dark souls...and now that i looked up a little information about it, i'm not at all surprised. Jesus, how many times can Miyazaki and From Software regurgitate the same old s*it?

They have as much of a forgiveness threshold as Nintendo has, what with Nintendo making the same Zelda game for... *checks notes* 26 years. The same Mario games for 35. The industry allows it. However many Call of Duties, Battlefields, and Assassin's Creeds etc. People like to know what they're getting.

That said, while it has the same aesthetic, its gameplay looks to introduce many new things, at least new in terms of the Souls series. Mounted combat. Open world. Multiplayer open world. Likely a much more cohesive story with George R.R. Martin partially at the helm.

Really wouldn't call it the same old shit.

Well, i've only played old nintendo games like ocarina of time, majoras mask and mario 64, so i guess you get what you pay for. The rest? I'm not into FPS and i dropped assassins creed after the second game.

Anyway, the most important question for combat improvements is: are they going to shoehorn PvP, especially invasions, into the game yet again? If yes (and considering their past M.O. probably, not to mention the fans expectations) then if there are any improvements, there won't be many. Regardless, maybe it won't be the EXACT same old, but i've had enough of dark souls and souls-like games to last a lifetime.

New Tales game :0! But no co-op hmm...

Sidenote: Whenever I see that someone is from Cerberus, I think of Mass Effect.
