Any experience with soulsborne games?

I've played Dark Souls 1, 2, 3, and Bloodborne, but 3's the only real one I've gotten into. Absolutely loved it, and still recall many things about my experience in that game. The others either feel clunkier, or aren't available beyond 1080p30fps in the case of Bloodborne.

Of the many reasons you provide to revisit the Metro games in your excellent videos, the one I honestly find most enticing is the knowledge that Last Light eventually takes the same plot turn as The Mandalorian (i.e. treacherous journey w/cute alien child). Are there any story archetypes or plot points that you have enough of a soft spot for to instantly put any media featuring it on your radar?

Autistic character portrayed properly, Balalaika (Black Lagoon) type boss, or racing, immediately catches my interest.

And I'll praise anything James McCaffrey does.

I was rewatching your E3 Demo video and saw that you used Maximum Action as an example for the first two hours you play a game to be equivalent to a demo. Does that mean you love it or hate it? Also can we get a years later video for Brink? It seems like just a kind of game for a years later video

It means neither. Just happened to be the most recent I game I bought to try out with the option to return it if I didn't enjoy it. Maximum Action is very promising, just hope it realizes it further in future updates.

As for BRINK, I've wanted to talk about the game for sometime, even have an idea laid out to compare it to Dirty Bomb, however, the problem is getting the damn thing to run properly on PC. For some baffling reason, the only way you can get BRINK to run at 60fps on PC, is by playing matches over a dedicated server. Single Player is locked to 30...
