Something I strongly dislike about Genshin Impact is it often requires you to be at a particular level in order to start a line of quests, but then will randomly throw a domain (basically a dungeon) at you during that same quest line that requires you to be at a much higher level that what you need to initiate that same quest line. It just feels really dishonest.

I am now officially 3/4 of the way through the Ys series. (Technically, I already beat #8 a couple years ago, but I’ll be going through it again once I get caught up.)  
Like the last game, Ark of Napishtim was a bit on the short side, but was a fair bit more difficult. Hopefully, Seven will have a little more staying power. But, Lacrismosa of Dana had a good length, and I have Monstrum Nox to look forward to.

In Vino Veritas
I’ve been gone from WoW for about 4 or so months and I expected a lot of story to have passed.
 
 
Turns out patch 9.1 isn’t even out yet. The game has been running on a small tuning patch and a new sub-area of an existing area for almost 4 months. That boring grind is why I quit.

Dark Souls 2 isn’t a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a definite step down in quality from DS1.

You mean the hitboxes that mean if you have low ADP, you get hit if you’re even vaguely in the proximity of an attack?

One of Otz’s videos on his no-hit runs talks about why no one did an all-boss run before, with the hitboxes being one reason (with several examples of the attack not being near him but he still gets hit).

“Depressing tone”.
 
Dark Souls is SUPPOSED to be depressing. That’s why it’s called, “Dark Souls”, not “Super Happy Sunshine and Rainbows Time”.

DS1 was dark but hopeful. It’s why depressed people can play it and walk away better, since they were able to find hope and light in that dark world. DS2 has old hags mocking you and everyone going hollow and being depressed.

I wonder if there’s a Diablo-esque dungeon crawler out there with classes that are near identical to actual D&D classes… It’d be neat to have those kind of job set ups, especially with having branching pathways so two Clerics, Paladins, rouges and what-not aren’t exactly alike.
 
That’s kind of where Diablo 3 went wrong since it was so heavily streamlined, two of the same where exactly the same and just choose separate runes to feign unique, when you look back at D-2 and how skill point could be thrown into states and unlock skills that branch towards others - and I don’t have any faith Blizzard with Diablo 4 will be anything better… They’re even screwing up the remake doing the usual.
 
It would be neat to have that kind of genre make a bigger comeback, especially if they can work in the couch co-op of yester year games like Buldar’s gate: Dark alliance and Champions of Norrath. It’s kind of funny; with how “Advance” they claim gaming is getting, modern devs can’t figure out how to make two or more people play the same game without everyone the same game and console.

On the subject of Warcraft, it turns out I missed a few pre-Reforged patches that I’m now desperately trying to catch up to, especially since I know there’s a whole community still using the older versions. The issue is I threw out my old CD key…
 
Also, why are Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2 the only RTS games that allow you to make custom units? Does Blizzard (or worse, Activision) hold a patent on that kind of thing?

There aren’t a lot of RTS games PERIOD, these days. Aside from Blizzard’s stuff and the “Age of” games, you pretty much have to go all the way back to “may not be compatible with Windows 8, let alone 10” territory to find anything. It’s not a well-populated genre.
