technically havent finished it but the final boss of the immortal severance ending is so fucking hard im just gonna give my rating now

edit: finally cut off isshin's wrinkly old balls and its now my favorite boss fight, 5/5 withstands

edited edit: about 7 playthroughs in, this is seriously one of the best games ever made. i would even go as far as to say its the best game from software has ever and possibly maybe will ever make. its quickfire pace, its buttery controls, its insane boss fights, its gorgeous world, the IMPECCABLE combat, it all comes together to form a game that is not only unforgettable, but god damn legendary.

edit of the edited edit: playthrough counter well within the 20s. not sure when this will end. if i dont make it out, cancel my elden ring pre-order.

edit of the edited edit edit: isnt it kind of funny how its called "Shadows Die Twice" but typically in games this difficut you tend to die as the player many more times? always thought that was a pretty silly observation

the threepeater is a plant in this game, which shoots in three lanes. the lane above, the lane its on, and the lane below, right? the threepeater has three heads, each one layered vertically in order to make them visible to the player. whenever a zombie is within one of the three lanes, it fires, and each of it's heads bob in order to show the action and give it a bit more life, as all the plants do. however, if you place the threepeater at the top or bottom lanes - lanes which it cant possible shoot all three - the top or bottom heads respectively wont bob when the threepeater fires, as it's not firing in those non-existant lanes, while the others still will. this game is 5 bucks on steam in case youre wondering
