Third person mode games are the absolute worst. Granted I only play call of duty these days, but I gave assassins creed a chance because it was free with the Xbox one. After a couple of days I just gave up. Who likes playing a game when the character is standing in the middle of the screen blocking your view? It's like, get the gently caress out of the way, I can't loving see what I'm doing. Unless dark souls has a person mode I doubt I'll ever play it.

i like using the white stone to write "try jumping" near a cliff, thats a fun gag

also you can write "giant but, hole ahead" and it reads like "giant butthole ahead" hahah what a game

also if you are bad at dark souls i guess you should maybe play angry birds on your android tablet and not own a professional level xbox gaming console (or the lesser substitute, the pc)

Hmm let's make a hard game.

Okay, make it normal hardness compared to other games but just have no reasonable checkpoints. Watch them jerk off all over themselves.

by rolling "into" their attacks you are actually jumping under or over their blade like a brave and daring warrior so that you can attack them while they are vulnerable. I hope this helps.

Ya, most games I've played that allow you to roll forward always have enemies with big swooping attacks that can be ducked under.

What I hate are games that have a roll mechanic (no invincibility), but a normal sideways jump is far more effective, or something like that.

Also doesn't the starting armor weigh you down noticeably? The first level on youtube showed the guy getting a little faster after getting naked.

If you pick an armored knight starting character then your guy will be slow and plodding, this makes sense. What doesn't make sense is later on when you pump up your stats and the armor guy is doing flips and rolls no problem.

Dark Souls isn't that hard. I suck at games and got through them all. Everything about it being some super tough game is a bunch of hype. Something swinging at you? Try dodging. Maybe raise you're shield if it's not too much work. When the enemies stop spazzing out maybe try hitting them. You'll die sometimes. You can come back and try again. Also don't go into a third person action game expecting to be able to do anything with a mouse and keyboard. I swear this series is like a test to see if you're someone's grandma.

Magic rings and returning to life when you die don't make sense either, like what the gently caress people

Generally the rule of fantasy and sci fi is that you have to follow real life with like one or two major differences. So while I accept the curses and magic, doing acrobatics in plate mail is stupid and also is just one of those video game things that breaks the balance in favor of player progression.

Why is it stupid when you've got the FANTASY WORLD NOT-REAL turbocharged strength and agility for it?

I mean, becoming superhuman is built right into the mechanics, unless you're doing an SL1 playthrough.

I could never get this game to run. It hard crashed to desktop every time I booted it.

I installed DSfix. I verified the data files through Steam. I hunted around on the web for solutions. I'm running Windows 7 and nothing weird that should be causing this.

The hardest part about Dark Souls is getting it to work, apparently.

I just think it would be cool if the game didn't pretend to be an rpg and your equipment completely determined your stats.

That guy wants only the most realistic in medieval swordplay. If you're not basing your engine on Durer's Sword-fencing Manual and getting it peer-reviewed than what are you even doing ?!?!

Knights weren't helpless turtles in armor, but were kind of super athletes. Doing tricks like handstands and cartwheels in full gear, jumping onto a horses back with a running jump while fully suited, etc, etc. :eng101:
