Just wanted to share this amazing piece that is full of soul. Ten years and multiple moves later, it’s still proudly hanging on my wall.
I have done a lot of nuzlockes in Pokemon games and found them so fun that it is hard for me to play them normally anymore. So obviously, a thought hit my head after finishing all of these on Hard.
... could a nuzlocke work in the SMT games?
For those unfamiliar with nuzlockes, the rules are:
- only able to recruit the first demon sort encountered in each area
- once a demon dies, it is considered dead forever and has to be released
- no compendium summoning
- if the first demon encountered is something you already own, you can negotiate with the next demon encountered and attempt to obtain it
- if a demon encountered is something you owned and lost, you cannot have that demon join you again in that same playthrough
This can be taken further to include the following rules:
- no fusion
- no item use in battle
- level caps for certain bosses
... or more.
This will surely revitalize the games for some people to make them interesting and challenging again. It forces you to use strategies and demons you would not usually use, resulting in a much more satisfying experience than just fusing whatever is the strongest.
Losing a demon you had with you for a long time is also incredibly painful, and encourages serious planning and careful playing.
Sharon said in a recent interview that they are finished writing demos and are now heading towards production. She also stated that the album is going to be a complete 180, that there is no album that sounds like this and that it is a whole new genre.
Now, this sparked my curiosity like never before!
I am sure that they will keep heading in the similar direction that they took with Bleed Out. She talks about the world going to hell and all the thoughts and emotions they put into their music.
Bleed Out was also a lot heavier than anything they did in the past, and both the critics and the audience LOVED IT. The reviews were fire! She also mentioned metalcore as an influence quite a few times over the last couple of years.
Them being as old and popular as they are now, they accumulated a large audience all over the world which resulted in them headlining almost every festival they plat at. This means a lot of metalheads who are expecting a lot of heavy music.
So, I believe that it is safe to say that the new album will be heavy, djenty and powerful.
What are your thoughts?
Edit: She also talks about THOE being the absolute pinnacle of their symphonic sound and how they wanted to cut back on the symphonic aspect of their music afterwards because everything started to sound overly crowded to them. So I do not believe that the new stuff will be symphonic at all.
Doslovno svaki drugi frajer izmedu 18 i cca 35 ima komad ALPHA INDUSTRIES odjece na sebi.
Bi li ovaj brand bio toliko popularan da umjesto "alpha" u nazivu ima "beta"?
The ending of the original Blair Witch chilled me to the bone and whenever someone asks this question - which is fairly often - it is the first thing that comes to my mind. Second one would be the staircase scene from REC.
Please try to keep it spoiler free if possible, I would like to watch some movies that will be mentioned.
The Howling? What a surprise! THOE and Forsaken, too!
I wish they squeezed in Cyanide Love, I am really looking forward to hearing it live.
Ja sam danas kupio smokve, pekmez i suhe kekse u trgovini i onda sam skužio da mi fale još zobene i grožđice da imam 115 godina.
