"wich the worst part was what troll face did to sonic's corpse after words wich was rape it. at that point i looked away"

toss that game in the dumpster and load up some witcher 3

fo real I have TRIED to play this game. I started it up and every other minute it was opening a new menu with new poo poo like alchemy and magic and whatever. Fine, there's a lot in the game, but the reaction I had sometimes was like "God this is going to be a loving chore"

and sure enough like the first mission in I'm like "okay, this is going okay, it's a bit clunky but fine" and a dude goes "you need ten bumflowers before the quest can advance". No indication of where to go. Like there may be a lot of fun stuff in the game but the idea of having to loving look up where these loving resources are online and go there and look around at the floor for them and then go back just so I can continue the other bit of the game was toxic to me.

Again, maybe there's cool stuff in the game, I hear loads of good stuff about it, but that just sorta killed my interest dead right there. Does anyone in the world actually have fun collecting ten bumflowers? It just seems like, I can't imagine any developer in the world going "wouldn't it be fun if in our game the player had to go find some oats?"

the witcher 2 couldnt jump and he lived in the land of invisble walls/curbs

no excuse for that bullshit in an "open world" game

e: combat itself i didnt hate, sort of a devil may cry kind of vibe to it

I'm a terrible Souls fan because DS2 is one of my favorite games ever and I found DS1 to be okay at best and DS3 to be the living embodiment of :geno:

also Souls fans are quite possibly the most insufferable video game fans

I think part of why all the soulborne games are great games is because From is always trying different things. Fans having different opinions about which game is best and why is evidence that the games are never really just the same thing over again with better graphics. No one really agrees which is best and which is worst, they all have good and bad parts.

It is really bad by just about every metric, and yet the game is somehow still good. There's one boss that's a real bitch and forces you to rely on the extremely basic core mechanics of combat but aside from that it doesn't really get in the way.

it would be weird if no one had. People have beaten every fromsoft game under every condition imaginable; level 1, with feet, with guitar hero controller, NG+7 with broken ladle weapon

that said a lot of enemies freak out at the torch so I think you could find weirder. Like beating the game just with that one weird punching weapon from the dlc

So Lords of the Fallen is free on Playstation Plus right now. It's not a bad game but BOY does it want to be Dark Souls. I heard the combat was similar going in but jesus it's not even trying to hide it - one of the control set-ups is literally "map the controller more like Dark Souls". Even the story has a "hollowing curse" that's affecting people.

It's not bad or anything so far. Opening area is a bit confined and small, lots of hallways and such. It feels like Dark Souls as a little more of a beat-em-up, maybe?

Thanks for the tip! I always forget to check! I downloaded it and it looks . . . okay. Great for the price!

I use the Black Knight Sword which has proven good so far.

Invading in the Undead Settelment means at max +2 weapons or +1 boss/unique, also at most level 25.

My favorite weapons are always special so buff and infusions are out the door.

it always felt like dark souls 2 & 3 were backwards. 3 should have come second since it's basically just more dark souls 1 while 2 should have been last since it's where they really went balls-out

i first played ds2 after beating ds3 like five times and ds2 is such a better game even with its empty covenants. ds1 is the best one though because it was the only one that didnt heavily limit your invasions on scrubs

also ds3 has no channelers trident gently caress that game
