Lexx Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 If I'd know now that Dark Souls 3 won't come to PC anytime soon, I'd be more likely to get myself a PS4. Not really interested in Bloodborne, though. Just finished Life is Strange. I liked it. The ending... no idea. Guess it was kinda obvious. Didn't really liked all that abstract / memory stuff, though. That stuff wasn't hooking me up at all. What I would have really, really loved to see, though, would be at the end, after the credits, Max wakes up in her bed and get's em nose bleeding. Then cut back to black and off to main menu. Keep it mysterious, just somewhat open or whatever. Not that I want a Life is Strange 2... It just would have felt better to me.

GhostofAnakin Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Tried MGSV online for like 2 seconds. Didn't like it, backed out, and now am looking for something new to play.

Katphood Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Tried Dark Souls for the first time. It didn't really suck me in like Demon's Souls did back in 2009. Mechanics are almost the same and the game is great but it doesn't have the same charm and feeling to it. Dark Souls is...more "accessible" compared to Demon's Souls. 1 There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

GhostofAnakin Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I made one last attempt at the target practice SideOps in MGSV. I finished 5 of the 7 missions, only to lose ALL my progress because on the 6th mission I fell from up high when climbing to reach a target and died. Not only did that current mission reset, but so did ALL OF THEM. So stupid. It should autosave after each completion.

Bartimaeus Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Honestly, I feel like the first Souls game you play is the best. I played Dark Souls 1 and thought it was quite good: I beat it on NG7 at level 99, beat it at soul level 1 on NG1, and nearly beat it at soul level 1 on NG7 ([MINOR SPOILERS, I say the name of a boss] I can beat every boss besides the Four Kings...the Four Kings are just too hard to fight 4 at a time at level 1 [/END MINOR SPOILERS]), so I must've liked it, right? Tried playing Dark Souls 2, and I pretty much instantly hated it. Played through the entire game, and it makes me never want to play another Souls game ever again I hated it so much. I know others who have had similar feelings...though I know others that played Dark Souls 1 and then thought Dark Souls 2 was O.K., too. Edited October 22, 2015 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Lexx Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Played DS2 a lot and liked it. Tried DS1 and never finished it. Hated the grind (or lack of?) due to ever-respawning enemies. Also I had no idea when and which bonfire I should upgrade. The thing I fear the most for DS3 right now is the possibility of once again ever respawning enemies. :/ "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
WorstUsernameEver Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Respawning enemies aren't that big of a deal. Once you learn the positioning in an area, you can easily avoid them all on your way to a boss fog door.
Lexx Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Yeah, but I don't want to avoid them all time and day. Sometimes I just don't feel the mood to outflank them, especially when there is a part I'll have to repeat over and over again for whatever reason. Besides, if you still want to have endless respawning enemies in DS2, you can join one of the available groups and bam, respawning is how it was in DS1. I like this choice- why can't I have it anymore in DS3? Meh. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
HoonDing Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Thought you were talking about Dungeon Siege. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Amentep Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I confess, I don't understand the appeal of Demon/Dark Souls. Tried both, didn't like either. 3 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
the_dog_days Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Found Betrayal at Krondor on GOG, so I know what I’m playing for the next month. Neal Halford is in my eyes somewhat of a genius. I read the Riftwar saga before I'd ever heard of BaK. My uncontrolled geekout over the first time I saw Pug in the game was perhaps excessive. Needless to say, I didn't earn any cool points that day. And yes, Dungeon Siege was awesome. 1
Rosbjerg Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 I confess, I don't understand the appeal of Demon/Dark Souls. Tried both, didn't like either. I think they're meant for the kinda player who liked doing speed runs in old school platformers.. All about overcoming the challenge through concentration and repitition. Fortune favors the bald.
Amentep Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Yeah, weirdly even though they were supposed to be action RPGs they mostly reminded me of side scrolling platformers. I cannot - yet I must.

I honestly did not know that, much obliged, I was just commenting on his writing in BaK, at points superior to Feist's prose in my opinion. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

melkathi Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 My Sisters of Sigmar were gathering wyrdstone when mercenary archers started shooting down at them from the upper story of a nearby house. They surrounded the building and prepared to bash the archers' heads in when more mercs came rushing down the back street. One of the Sisters intercepted an enemy but got pounced by another. Two versus one, and stupid luck on part of the AI (no misses, no dodges/parries) and she went down fast. We routed the mercs after taking out their leader, their warlock, two of their halberdiers and stealing their idol, but back at the camp that one sister had to have her left leg amputated. Now she has a wooden leg. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Katphood Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I have to wait two more days before I can get my hands on on Tales of Zestiria for the PS4. I also decided to get Dragon Quest Heroes instead of Fallout 4. I am tired of western "sandbox games". I already have enough of those and I would have a lot more fun banging my head against the wall than playing a pile of junk like Skyrim. Seriously, why is there such a huge affection for this game? Does it have mods? So do a lot of other games out there! FarCry 4 is already resting on the shelf so no hiking simulators for me this November, thank you very much! I also finished playing The Witcher 3 recently and MY GOD was that game a shallow experience compared ot the first Witcher game. It sure is the next "Skyrim" alright... Trivia: The only new game the store had brought yesterday was...Assassin's Creed: Syndicate! There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Hurlshort Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I'm waiting pretty impatiently for the next RPGMaker. I've got a pretty solid script written up, so I'll see if I can bring it to life.
Bartimaeus Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I confess, I don't understand the appeal of Demon/Dark Souls. Tried both, didn't like either. I think they're meant for the kinda player who liked doing speed runs in old school platformers.. All about overcoming the challenge through concentration and repitition. I found Dark Souls pretty darn easy after a certain point (and that was my first Souls game). But after beating the game once, I did send my character straight to NG7 via some memory editing with Cheat Engine, where that certainly applies. Dark Souls 2 was torturous and repetitive (and awful) from start to finish, though. Never got used to or liked the control changes, never got used to or liked the much slower-paced combat. Why you would slow down the second game compared to the first, I don't know...seems like the opposite would be the more logical choice (...or just keeping it the same)...but then again, I'm not a brilliant game designer.

Lexx Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Thought you were talking about Dungeon Siege. I didn't expected anyone still remembering Dungeon Siege. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Katphood Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Just had the Godhammer conversation with Durance while playing PoE. Man, this game is gold, worth every penny! I have made my decisions and Pillars of Eternity is my Game of the Year 2015 even though I haven't beaten it yet. 28 hours into the game and I am simply craving for more and I doubt anything can top this game for me this year. Looking forward to the dlc and hopefully Pillars of Eternity 2 someday. 1 There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
