Thinking about doing a let's play of FE: Blazing Blade/sword/whatever once I get a microphone...

I'd be down for it whenever it happens. I only know the first level or two so it would be interesting!

So I just played my first hour and a half of Styx.

I was expecting something sorta of like Dishonored, which despite it's large arsenal of lethal tools and abilities, is meant to be played in stealth. Only it's much more different than I thought and combat isn't nowhere close as forgiving, actually it's not very forgiving at all. I have to precisely counter my opponent with my dagger a few times before I can kill them. Dishonored has countering, but I quickly found that when I got into a malee it was much easier to keep hacking away or end the fight with a bullet or two. Often the latter.

Maybe it's also down to me knowing the mechanics of Dishonored prior to playing where as I'm entering this totally blind. Literally at times as I squint to try and make out where I'm supposed to jump. Hiding is also more challenging try to get from cover to cover because killing in Styx is loud or takes forever quietly. Dishonored simply just needed you to wait for them to turn their back. Or snipe them in the face with a crossbolt.

Since I was last here, I got a PS Vita and a PS4. I've been playing a TON of Overwatch. My main is Mercy, and by that I mean I exclusively play as Mercy. Anybody else here on PS4? Wanna get healed? I'm your man!

I think my brother has this game. You play as a goblin being, right?

Just reached a milestone on Steam: I now officially own 100 games after buying Dungeon of the Endless off of the Vizzed Market.

Yes.
