Mamoulian War

Gaming subscriptions are way to hell, if you want to play more than one game. All publishers are wet about it, but imagine paying EA subscription, Activision subscription, Ubisoft subscription, Blizzard subscription, Square Subscription, and you throw out more money monthly, than if you would buy your games for full price.

It's Japan, they love their cutscenes. Don't let discourage yourself from awesome game.

Oh yeah, I agree, Lightning was not very inspiring protagonist. My favourite was IX, and I had the same issues like you in XV. So thinking than VIIR would take any inspiration out of that game makes me sad :/ Thankfully I still have all of their older games, to play once in a while, when feeling I need to play some good old school JRPG.

It is, already redeemed my Fig Season Pass *cheers*

Well, I am one of the few strange creatures, who do not loathe FFXIII. The story was not what took me in, but the mix of ATB and action was for me very good mix. Of course, the first thing I did, was to disable Auto Attack. This one killed the game for many people. FFXIII-2 was for me even better game, because I liked the Pokemon addition to the game, but the story was even bigger mind****... But FFXIII-3 was just atrocious trash, and first sign of SE going to "conquer" western audiences, with just another bland game, which plays the same as every other western focus tested checkbox simulator FFXV nailed it and made me abandon the franchise with very bad taste in my mouth...

Square Enyx definatelly decided to butcher Final Fantasy franchise, and finally announced on their joblistings, that FFVII will be an action game. http://www.siliconera.com/2018/08/02/final-fantasy-vii-remake-is-being-made-as-an-action-game-according-to-new-job-listing/ Square Enyx will not get any of my money anymore :-/

I liked exploration of BG1 more than BG2 as well. Although the encounters on some of them were real pain in the ass.

I can only recommend it. It's one of the best games released last few years imo. If you are into that kind of games. Lot of mature content, ****loads of hilarious content and good playability. I enjoyed all Yakuza games which I've played, and can't wait for Kiwami 2, which releases in few days.

Galaxy offers it as well, but afaik not for older titles too. But even if I play through Galaxy, I have all overlays turned off. Even on Playstation's I have disabled all notification with the exception of trophies.

It's matter of perception. I kinda not offended nor triggered by it's looks. But as others said, the primary benefit is that with the offline installers you do not any client at all.

It's hard to not go into Steam versus GOG, when Steam just simply sucks

People tend to blame the companies that release the contaminated food first as long as the store is active about putting up notices, removing the product, and issuing refunds once the contamination is known. Yes the groceries do that, because it's the right thing to do. But have you noticed similar behaviour from Valves side? If yes, please ignore my rambling

You should move to GOG, at least you would not need VPN for giving them money.

If they completely ignore Q&A, when putting new stuff on their store , the fault is solely on their shoulders. It's the same, like if a grocery would sell food contaminated by salmonella, because they completely ignored the basic hygiene rules.

Yeah, I've seen the alternate cutscene :'(

Yup, Kalameet was few days ago, I killed him before Manus, but before I spent few hours on trying to figure out how to cut his tail while solo As far as I am aware, I have done everything possible in this second playthrough. I thought the final DLC bass was Manus not Kalameet

Well not many of the games offer quality options for anything else than "Stupid Evil" alignment, so if I'll buy the game, I'll go for my typical Chaotic Good way of handling stuff. But the PnP version of Paizo's Adventure Path had lot of options to play as evil aligned party.

After 80 hours I have just finished Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition, with caster toon. After farming the **** out of Humanity Phantoms and kindling every single available bonfire in the game, I have decided, that there is finally time to go against the DLC boss, Manus, Father of the Abyss. First two tries, I have tried to summon Sif the puppy, but the boss did very short work with me both attempts. Small Sif was not able to tank him, so I just rather stayed hollow and continued with my futile attempts at killing him without spending Humanity. I really do not know, how many failed attempts I had, probably 15+, because this boss compared to most other in the game was for me really unpredictable, because he mostly moved and attacked to fast for my old reflexes. I was most of the time not able to predict his 3-hit and 6-hit combos, which most of the time destroyed me I really have not wanted to cheese him, so I run back and back again, until I was little bit lucky with his attacks, and I was finally able to kick his Mananus. As soon as he was defeated, I have saved princess Dusk, and got reward from Elizabeth for doing so. Now was the time to run around and get specific weapons and armor from few NPCs. I really did not wanted to kill them, but it was the only possible way, how to collect these items So after a while, all three blacksmiths were dead and with them also Hawkeye Gough. Before them, I have also traded Manus' soul for last Sorcery missing in my collection. Now was finally time to face Gwyn Again. Because I was able to finish Solaire's quest, I found his summon sign on the way to the final boss Gwyn. Few spells shot his way, and he went down fast. The new spell really helped a lot. It made tremendous damage to him. The credits rolled fast, and I have decided to go against Asylum Demon in NG+ straight away, because I was still missing his weapon drop. To my surprise, the Pursuers spell almost one-shot him He was left probably with 20 to 50 HP, after the first shot. I was so surprised, that I have lost concentration for a second, and he almost one-shotted because of that. So I rolled to the side as fast as possible, and finished him off with another Soul Arrow, and finished my game. For now. I am currently at 91% of trophies and I am missing few armors and weapons for owning everything in the game. Next week, I'll be going on a business trip, so I do not know, if I should start going after few bosses now, or just wait until I am back. Need to finish NG+ and get to Anor Londo in NG++ for last few trophies.

Both are completely different classes though.

Thanks, it was really very intense fight, but compared to Smough&Ornstein and later Manus, I did not feel frustrated at all, when I was unsuccessful. The fight is hard, but fair and even with slower reactions, you still have chance to learn his moves and defeat him without need for cheesing. Manus on other hand, It really felt to fast and to random for my old age

Not in the base game, casting is all Vancian. But there is a Kineticist class in the tabletop and they did mention that they plan to expand the scope of the initial game with some DLC classes and races that they couldn't afford just off the kickstarter funds alone. So, it may end up in there before the year is out? or it may not. Well Sorcerers (arcane casters) and Oracles (divine casters) are middle ground. You learn spells during camping, and then you can cast any combination of the spells during day. Number of casts depends on your level. Sorcerers are in the game, but I do not know about Oracles.

Quest markers are mixed bag for me. But TBH, I do not think, that quest markers by itself is the issue, it's the bad quest design, which depends solely on the quest markers and do not give you enough info in journal. So if the game offers turning them off, you get most likely lost :/

More about loot boxes, being a whale without even realizing, and how much information have big publishers on you...

Moar Dork Souls TBH not much to be talked about this time, because well one very interesting boss fight But first, I have talked with Lord's Blade Ciaran, who mourned passing of Knight Artorias. She asked for his souls, which I do not want to part away at the moment, and she wears very nice suit of armor, so despite not being very happy about that decision, I have decided to start fight with her. The reward was said armor set and two nice weapons. After that, I went back to Oolacile Township and slowly moved through all the bloathead enemies, until Dark Phantom Marvelous Chester decided, he needs to kick my ass. It ended for him not as good as he anticipated Running more around the ruined city netted into finding a key. I ran back to a tower near Artorias' arena, and set Gough free. After little bit of friendly chit chat, he took his uber giant mega bow, and shot an arrow towards the big badass dragon flying around and managed to hurt his wing and feelings. And now the fun has started. I run slowly towards the place, where the dragon fell, and what a surprise, there was a new fog gate I've spent all my souls, and went back to see how it will go. And I must admit it went pretty fast. For me, and for dragon, too. But with more satisfying outcome for the dragon... "OK, so this guy has a tail weapon, OK, next time, I'll try to cut it, before he kills me.", was what I've said to myself. It also did not went as planned this time either I have not touched his tail at all. My closest weapon swing was like two kilometers away. This will be tough... And it ****ing was. The first evening, I had probably 20-30 attempts to learn the encounter and what I have to do to force him to use his tail against me, so I could hit it. So much frustrated, I have even tried to summon someone for help, but it looks like the DLC on PS3 are probably playing two more people beside me and both of them are PvPing only I rather went to bed, and started to thinking, if my stubbornness is worth dying again and again and again and again and again... Before falling asleep I have watched few videos, specifically for the solo tail cut strategy, and I have found two interesting solutions, which I should be able to execute. Next day, I've tried both, and found out, that I am able to execute only one of them After founding that out, after reviving at Bonfire, I've changed all my spells to Pyromancies, and went to learn better how to execute the tailcutting strategy. Right in the first attempt, I forced the dragon to try to hammer me down with his tail. But to my big disappointment, the Great Combustion pyromancy completely missed the tail. It's hitbox was to close to ground to hit him with the spell I died shortly afterwards. I've kicked out the spell out of my list and used both versions of Firewhips and Firestorms. After a while, I found out, that the Firestorm spells are much better for the job. It took me another 10 or so attempts to be able to execute it without getting to much damage from his other moves. At the end I needed to hit his tail 4 times with Firewhip spells to cut his tail off. As soon as I managed it, I was so excited about it, that Kalameet killed me few seconds later But the goddamn Obsidian Sword was finally mine! ALL MINE!!111ONEONEELEVEN!!11! All that running and noobing around had one good side effect, I have learned pretty well all of Kalameet's moves and attacks, and my next attempt, ended up victorious for me, and without single sip from Estus Flask. I was surprised to see that. All in all, the the whole fight with Kalameet was the most epic bossfight ever in history of my gaming, which I was able to beat. I really do not remember, when was the last time, when a game was so challenging to make me yell "**** YEAH!" (in slovak of course ) after landing the last blow. And this fight made me to do it twice!!! I have spent probably more than two hours fighting him, but the feeling when I've finally made it was fantastic! And it reminded me, why I loathe so much the current "PREZZBATTON4WIN" game design, which most of the today's games are doing No excitement even after killing the main boss of the game means, that the time getting there was not really worth it, and is just another waste of time. Thankfully some Indies make this right, and GOG and Japanese developers offer lot of them, to my liking. Anyway end of ranting, and back to Gough. He congratulated me, and offered me smaller version of his ultra bow. I have happily accepted his offer. After that, I have decided to pay a visit to Marvelous Chester, and speaking to him, he kind of mocked me, and bitched about our last black phantom incident. I have decided to defend my honour again, and I've challenged him to duel! The reward was nice armour set on his corpse After that, I have spent some time just farming for items, which I still missed in my inventory for 100% playthrough and kindling all the bonfires in the game to the max capacity. The hardest to get was Oolacile Catalyst, from the Bloathead Sorcerers. This alone took me more than hour, but during that, I was able to farm enough souls for more than 5 or 6 Soul Levels, so now, I am SL 99. Today, will be my first attempt against Manus. I've heard good things about the fight as well

You asked if someone could ask on Owlcat's forums, and he gave you the Pathfinder rules about carrying capacity. There is not anything obnoxious about that. Are there issues with the way Pathfinder handles capacity? Yes. Say you have a Wizard with 8 Strength, your capacity is going to be pretty low. However, if you happen to be carrying around 5k gold, you're going to be over if not close to that capacity. Woe be the pack rat in your group... Of course, they could go the PoE route and give you a stash that you can access, but it would be better if they gave you a caravan/wagon to hold it all. That's why we homeruled, that weight of money is 0.
