I really liked it, it was fairly unique back then. I didn’t play the sequel though.

Started Lies of P since it was on Gamepass and just waiting for Monster Hunter. It was either this or Lords of Fallen. So far P has been pretty good. Not the best at combat yet and am only using the starting polearm thing I got when starting. Not one of the 3 starting weapons, something else that was DLC maybe? Lots I don’t get about combat and am pretty much just parrying and light attack, but only up through third area so far, just passed that big puppet guardian thing boss.

yeah, Maj there seems to like the sequal, dark Chronical more. both are too grindy for his tastes it seems. but, it sounds like it stream lined much."
so many interesting elements. That I wonder how much directly inspired other things.
Dragon quest builders, disgaea most notably.

Dark Cloud was fun...I'm not sure why I never finished it...probably too busy with EQ at the time. I remember a sentient sword. From what I remember of the town building...it was more like you unlocked certain parts and placed them after completing quests. I could be misremembering, though...it's been 25 years. I just checked my closet and I still have the game...maybe I should hook up the PS2 and give it another try.

My problem with lies of P was the tells for boss moves were not as good as most souls games. It felt like I had to do much more memorization whereas a game like sekiro you didn't have to know most boss moves with the combat dance.

Empowering Creators and Players With Muse, a Generative AI Model for Gameplay - Xbox Wire
Introducing Muse, a new kind of generative AI model that lets you play and create. From developer ideation to one day supporting game preservation, Muse holds potential to unlock new possibilities.
news.xbox.com
Although it’s still early, this model research is pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible. We are already using Muse to develop a real-time playable AI model trained on other first-party games, and we see potential for this work to one day benefit both players and game creators: from allowing us to revive nostalgic games to faster creative ideation.
Today, countless classic games tied to aging hardware are no longer playable by most people. Thanks to this breakthrough, we are exploring the potential for Muse to take older back catalog games from our studios and optimize them for any device. We believe this could radically change how we preserve and experience classic games in the future and make them accessible to more players.
To imagine that beloved games lost to time and hardware advancement could one day be played on any screen with Xbox is an exciting possibility for us. Another opportunity we are exploring is how Muse can help game teams prototype new gameplay experiences during the creative process and introduce new content—taking games players already love and enabling our developers to inject new experiences for them to enjoy, or even enable you to participate in the creation process.
