There's a reason they didn't release the stats for the gender breakdown of Valhalla. I'd be surprised if the female was more than 15%.
Who wants to play a female Viking warrior?
I legit can't understand why anyone but a ***** would want to.
For some reason libtards love viking ****. If I had to guess it's because scandies are usually insane progressives so a lot of that has leaked into their "historians" way of teaching about viking culture with **** like "shield maidens" and the like.
Plus they were degenerate pillagers and rapist EPIC pagan warriors who were tolerant and gay and killed nasty nazi Christians!

I noticed many also hail the occult and love anything that corrupts, most of the time learned online and from some "non-binary" lunatic that dreamed he or she (I met both types) are the "chosen one", chosen by (insert popular dead spiritual figure here), and of which birth heralds "renewal and healing" or whatever other thing that "sounds important" or grandiose they can come up with. Spoiler alert: their "powers" are imaginary, and for self professed "healers" they are usually afraid of dogs, phone calls and have to take a long rest of a week or more if they interact with a stranger.
If I were to give it my two cents, I would say they are spiraling out of control and attatch to anything remotely "controverse" to stroke their broken view of reality.

No not yet, I'm playing a majora's mask hack. I'll try it soon.
A randomizer or something else? I'm glad OOT/MM romhacking is taking off although I'm not sure why it took so long. Heard good things about Indigo.

I've never heard about Dark Envoy and got curious after you mentioned it.
It looks rather pretty from just screenshots that I've seen, have you played it and would you recommend it?

edit: Without going into private didn't really know where to post. Hope this place fits the purpose

I enjoyed it for the time I played it but was having some issues with bugs. I bought it at launch and it has received patches since, so.
It's an RTWP RPG with an emphasis on tactical combat. If you don't like the combat, the game will probably have little to offer you.

Are you aware it's made by the same developer?
This isn't meant to be rude, just checking.

Tower of Time is also quite good, btw.

I rather enjoy good combat systems in games, so that sounds even more interesting now.
I'll give it a try 🦜
Thank you for the info!

The success of Palworld (aka Pokemon with guns) and its developer Pocket Pair (which has previously released a Zelda clone) proves that there is a viable business model in identifying cult classic games with huge followings but that did not get a satisfying installment for some time, copying everything, and releasing with additions that you can come up with after scouring reddit or forums for a few hours.
What I hate most about modern gaming, aside from the usual suspects, is the absolutely disgusting "photo realistic" graphics that all look like dog **** and make my computer nuclear. I started playing oblivion again and it uses less than 1 gb ram and is like 5 gb. Yes the npcs all look like they have downs and I also made my character also have downs but it's just so much fun to play and not have my computer sound like it wants to explode. The color palate is also much better. The amount of features and content in old games is crazy too. Kotor 2 is also butt ugly but it has crafting, extensive class building and more. I hope more devs jump in to make those kinds of games again.

Same as I posted above then. I couldn't complete it, but they've patched it a bunch since.

So is everything just going to follow the Palworld formula now? Instead of building a base and mowing down Pokemon, you can now build a base and mow down knights.

I really liked Two World's weird system where you could combine any two identical pieces of equipment into a slightly better version. More fun than any crafting system I've ever seen.

There's a lot about OBLIVION ON STERIOIDS the Two Worlds games that I really liked back in the day. The magic system in II Worlds Two was very amusing to mess around with iirc.

Two Worlds II is the only game other than Tyranny that really tried to do something different with magic. Ironic how unoriginal developers are with magic.

I'm getting Assassin's Creed Open World vibes in which that's not a positive aspect I'm looking forward too, and a PS5 exclusive, so **** that. Maybe they'll bring it to PC a year later, but I'm not playing Assassin's Creed likes, or Souls Likes.

Team Ninja really lost their creative spark after Itagaki was ousted. Instead of making slick, fast-paced action games that were focused and well put together, they're just chasing whatever trend they can reasonably make money from. Their Nioh games were supposedly good, but they're just Dark Souls. And this game just looks like it's trying to cash in on Ghosts of Tsushima, and every other open world game ever made at this point.

People should start seeing these types of games the way they do Marvel/DC capeslop. Where's the innovation?, where's the next generation gameplay?. Games are best when they focus on one thing, and do it right.

I don't see anything wrong with 'cloning'. That's basically the entire industry - someone makes an innovative game - like Doom for example - and then the others clone it, while putting their own spin on the formula. Both Nioh games are solid, and actually fairly different from Dark Souls.

I heard their latest game (Wo Long) wasn't quite as good, and i'm not a fan of ubisoft-type open world games, but this one looks interesting enough. It may look like Ghost of Tsushima on surface, but what if it's actually something like Way of the Samurai?

It's boring as hell and Fromsoft themselves have already redone Dark Souls like 5 times now. The market is over saturated.

Most games called 'soulslikes' aren't actually like dork souls beyond the combat.
