If you are unsure it'll add to the conversation, maybe pocket it until there's more info or you get hands on with it.

silioth.bsky.social•86 days ago

I'd watch it.

ironpineapple.bsky.social•86 days ago

I appreciate the thoughts! I’m gonna hold off for now. I think it makes more sense to wait until I get some hands-on time with the game because everything feels too speculative until I see it all for myself, but I’ll hold onto the video privately to see how well my thoughts hold up as time goes on.

My reaction was this

tinygh0stt.bsky.social•86 days ago

Ok but what if you send it to me and mitch exclusively 👀 I want the thoughts 😭

rukamarukesu.bsky.social•85 days ago

look at the bright-side, you have a little "time capsule" to rewatch when the game comes out~
you can 'compare notes' with your past self!

martanti.bsky.social•86 days ago

I mean, it might be quite interesting to compare your initial thoughts when it was announced to when you actually play it and maybe make a video on these comparisons/reflections?

lordunicorn2.bsky.social•86 days ago

unexpect DLC but a welcome one indeed

chexmaster.bsky.social•52 days ago

Do it pussy always more content

regalroyal.bsky.social•85 days ago

Having seen the details we got, I think we're in for a banger

noripasta.bsky.social•86 days ago

Sounds like a second channel type of video

squishyofcinder.bsky.social•85 days ago

I think the game looks like it will be good but it also looks weird, yk.

goldmanadamj.bsky.social•86 days ago

It's always fun seeing initial thoughts, but if you want to wait to have more nuanced thoughts maybe do that. I know there are a few previews of it coming out now, (I just read the IGN article on it), so maybe read those to add more to your initial thoughts.

jnub.bsky.social•85 days ago

probably for the best. should wait for more stuff to get revealed.

piss-goblin.bsky.social•86 days ago

You are one of the few I would listen to talk about it

xestern17.bsky.social•86 days ago

I think it's fine because this is not supposed to be next big FromSoft game and it's mostly just a fun side-project that also acts as a testing ground for new genres with their own take on it

Would be interesting to hear your opinion since this is also the first project without Miyazaki at the helm

iamtrass.bsky.social•86 days ago

I think pissing off people who bitch and moan right now would be quite funny, that said I get the hesitation.

anzekay.bsky.social•86 days ago

If you're up front about it being all off-the-cuff and such, I don't think it'd automatically be of less value. Sharing something less cynical is honestly always refreshing, too, imo

goobertuuber.bsky.social•86 days ago

Idk after their last Elden ring entry I am not really confident about more stuff in the IP. I wish we could have just moved on to something new

cawcawmarine.bsky.social•86 days ago

I'd be interested in your take

moewenfels.bsky.social•86 days ago

I think that kind of discourse based on what people think about things is always relevant. Cant be all just reviews and facts.

b4betty.bsky.social•86 days ago

Not saying no to a new Pine video, especially about something that I expect you will be playing with @vaatividya.bsky.social

neolucky.com•86 days ago

Oh lordy I want that series to be a thing like right now lol

multifish.bsky.social•86 days ago

It’s a tough position to be in. If it doesn’t feel worth it (financially and artistically), I’d say hold off!

shichiizangi.bsky.social•86 days ago

Ill be honest, posting thoughts about something that had no info really or what its gonna be, is never a good idea imo - I'd wait till theres actual gameplay and more info about it first before you ruin your mood by all the weird comments that will for sure erupt.

orlandofakename.bsky.social•84 days ago

Many people compare Nightreign to a battle royale but it looks more like an indie called The Pathless

1 The eagle glide and the forward leaning sprint make it look a lot like that game.

2 The new archer class is said to introduce a new aiming mechanic. My guess is it's gonna look similar to TP'S.

bauta.bsky.social•86 days ago

Maybe keep it until the game comes out and have a video comparing your first and final thoughts?

dominictarason.com•86 days ago

So many people rushing out to be hyperbolic about it. I'm just happy to see Fromsoft willing to make smaller, lower-budget, more experimental games between their big mega-budget stuff.

habboi.bsky.social•86 days ago

Think of the views 😎 You do what you think is best, I'm definitely interested.

scopedogg.bsky.social•86 days ago

I’d still be interested to hear. Honestly my first impressions are that I’m not super thrilled, is has MGS Survive kinda vibes to it. But I’d like to hear what other people think

danjosaba.bsky.social•85 days ago

I’m actually surprised at the negative reception. My friends and I love modding Fromsoft games and doing randomizer challenges etc., especially in co-op, so this game sounds tailor-made for us. We also play a ton of roguelikes so maybe we’re just in the right demo but still. I’m excited too.

lulume1.bsky.social•86 days ago

Gimme.

drdogo.bsky.social•86 days ago

Maybe upload it private and see how the masses react to others before making it public?

havrestar.bsky.social•86 days ago

I think the game should have the opertunity to stand on its own merits. Would love to hear your opinion, but I personally dont gain much perspective until I have game in front of me

muglurk.bsky.social•86 days ago

Post it you coward

borisbelawiz.bsky.social•86 days ago

A sort of reaction video would be fun and I love watching anything you do, but fair enough that you're weary of possibly annoying reactions.

egregiousgames.com•86 days ago

I think as long as you make it clear that it's not a "super serious review" video, you do you.

Certainly don't be dissuaded by critics.

imahyperlover.bsky.social•86 days ago

mltts.bsky.social•85 days ago

I feel like I’ve seen an influx of negativity so maybe some positive stuff to balance that out would be worth posting

neolucky.com•86 days ago

As much as I love your optimism and videos, I think it'll be just a nasty headache from social media =(. I'm excited for it, regardless. It's NEATTTT.

never.driver64.org•86 days ago

I imagine we're all a little surprised at the direction Nightreign is taking but I think Fromsoft has earned the benefit of a doubt. I think waiting and seeing is probably best.

garyastott.bsky.social•86 days ago

I think there's value in seeing the initial reaction from the Souls community & its YouTube figureheads. Just imagine the vindication if you're the outlier and you turn out to be RIGHT!

nyrascarlet.bsky.social•86 days ago

post it, i wanna hear :)
