The worst part of Dark Souls is they put the save points AFTER the hour long anime cutscenes

If you need to walk away you save and quit. If you need to occupy yourself in the same room you stand still in a safe place. It's very simple

I heard that sometimes you can can walk forward and not take damage but also that's not always the case and sometimes you fall off a cliff and take falling damage? Which is it?

In order to really enjoy dark souls, you need to stop caring about yourself as a person and give yourself over to the game. It will disrespect you. It will do things that seem to accomplish nothing other than to hurt you, and it will laugh in your face about it. You won't understand dark souls until you've alienated everybody else around you and started spending your time on forums with other dark souls fans talking about how great dark souls is and how anybody who doesn't like dark souls is weak and stupid. It's the Donald Trump of video games

Yeah Fire Emblem Warriors was something of a disappointment to me, but I knew it was a a Musou (Warriors) game going into it. There is a proper new Fire Emblem coming early next year though.

Quitting out of Dark Souls is encouraged, also it's merely a death or petrification if you stand around in the wrong parts of the game, don't sweat it with a baby or toddler around. Also I don't think I like this TWEWY port all that much. Maybe when SE patch a control scheme in that's worth a poo poo.

After some experimenting, I'm finally getting the hang of TWEWY on switch mechanics. I can see why people complained, any enemy that's speedy tends to be a problem for me already. Def need to get some sort of stylus just because I can't swipe worth a drat, any recommendations before I just hit BestBuy and pick up whatever cheap one they have there? Kinda sad I can't use my 3DS stylus, would of gotten a kick out of that.

dying happens a lot in dark souls so if you take a sip of water and get knocked off a cliff by a hollow you didn’t know was there that’s just another day in lordran

Your Computer posted:Well this is a nice sewer, I think I'll stop here and take a rest. I'm sure the croaking in the distance is just some swamp gas! I'm sorry, did i mention croaking in the distance? Or some other audiovisual cue in this completely empty room? No It's a long loving area and i had never previously encountered a setback more grievous than death you can assume fault all you want but the penalty for me looking away for a matter of seconds was hours of anguish, mandatory grinding and backtracking to fix it.

Let's backtrack a moment and look at what just happened. "Yeah, enemies don't really roam around in Dark Souls so unless you're currently in the middle of a fight you can just leave the game running and it'll be fine." "I did exactly this and was grievously punished" "you shouldn't have dressed like you wanted to get cursed you loving slut" (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

On my first playthrough my weapon broke as soon as I got to the middle bonfire in Blighttown and I hadn't bought anything to repair with. I had to run back up through upper Blighttown, up through the Depths, and back to Firelink with no usable weapon. Now that was a lesson learned.

I entered blighttown through the master key shortcut and proceeded to go up because I thought that way was progress. Did you know that you can't open the Depths gate from blighttown's side? Then I had to go down the loving thing again. After that I went to Ash lake and got stuck again. Going up Ash lake isn't very fun.

Darks souls 1 has a good amount of poo poo like curse that will send you to the internet asking for help. Better games like Dark Souls 2 are less annoying about that.

Dark Souls sounds like a miserable experience and anytime people come in to defend it they somehow make it sound even worse, I'll stick to accidently dashing diagonally into spikes in Celeste thank you very much

Does Dark Souls at least give you enough time to bone it to the skeletons before they kill ya, I need to know before I start investing in one-handed controllers.
