    Alright, the truth then. You’re right about one thing… I do need capital. And votes. Wanna know why? “I have a dream.” That one day, every person in this nation will control their OWN destiny. A land of the TRULY free, dammit. A nation of ACTION, not words. Ruled by STRENGTH, not committee. Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to think – to act – for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chicken-shit bureaucrats. Fuck this 24/7 Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit. Fuck “American pride”. Fuck the media! Fuck all of it! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There’s no saving it – we need to pull it out by the roots. WIpe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes, a new America will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged, and the strongest will thrive – free to live as they see fit, they will make America GREAT AGAIN!

    What the hell are you talking about?

    You still don’t get it. I’m using war as a business to get elected… so I can end war as a business! In my new America, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for money, not for oil! Not for what they’re told is right. Every man will be free to fight his own wars!

      Oh man, and the environmental component hearing the clash of metal get louder as you approach the arena. FromSoft has always been good at it, but that was really peak environmental design and story telling.

      Replying to myself because I remember the og Artorias and Sif intros. That series is full of cool ones though.

    It has to be Riku in Kingdom Hearts. He takes about 5 minutes or more to tell you that your path ends there and he actually delivers. Then he tells it again when you inevitably try again, because you can’t skip the bloody cutscene.

      Man I have really been riding the fence on dumping the money for Black Myth Wukong. You mind if I get your honest take? It worth full price?

    Orochi in Okami. You spend the first entire third of the game building up to your first fight with him and by the time you’re fighting him, you have an incredible amount of context for how legendary your battle actually is.

    Many of the boss battles in that game had amazing lead-up.

    Final boss of Dark Souls

    Tap for spoiler

    I’d argue the entire game is the boss intro. And IIRC, the lore behind Gwyn is pretty deep too. You fight all these big baddies, and when you get to Gwyn, he’s relatively pretty weak.

    I remember being very fascinated by all the dark souls lore and his was particularly interesting. I vaguely remember that after killing him, you have the choice of keeping the flame alive or leaving and breaking the cycle?

    Oryx at the end of the Destiny Taken King expansion. Walking down this dark passageway and his symbol appears in light in front of you and the door opens to reveal him. So epic!
