update: summoning the npcs is helpful lol

They distract the boss which is helpful but I think summoning them increases the boss’s hitpoints if memory serves so be careful. This is the sum total of my dark souls knowledge. Good luck

Pathetic gamer confession: I never beat this game because I got stuck at Sen’s Fortress

Sen's is brutal the first time, my one-year-old niece died twice there.

Gah. You absolute savage.

that happened to me there on my first playthrough, but after like a year of not touching it and being annoyed that everyone was still talking about the game, i made a fresh character and had a great time going back through

I've been strongly thinking about reinstalling and having another go at it

Going to take another crack at Dark Souls. I have chosen cleric and will not be using any shields. Excelsior

Shield-free runs work a lot better than people think. They make some regular enemies trickier, but shields are largely useless against bosses anyway.

It seems like it's going to make the game harder but I watched a youtube video that made a convincing argument that it's more fun, and better.

Force is a useful miracle. I used it to deal with that mob of zombies in the undead parish who always overwhelm and beat me up and then I stomped on the bell gargoyles with solaire. Signed, the stupid dark souls baby

It would be sort of funny to stream dark souls so everyone can see how bad I am at the game. 53 hours logged and I just learned how to parry

I have thought about getting an extension cord and moving the TV to the coffee table and sitting hunched on the couch squinting at the TV and playing Bloodborne still might do that

Gwyn is so fast and aggressive and I never got good at parrying because I didn't want to use shields at all. I can't take this...

D'you think a zweihander +7 with charcoal resin would do more damage on a riposte than the demon's spear +5 i've been maining since anor londo, cuz I'm still getting good dmg out of the spear even though he supposedly has super lightning resist

I just assume whenever I get hit by a grab attack in a game it's my fault, they're always so slow

When it’s you it’s your fault. When it happens to me it’s the games fault

Lol I beat Manus and then went and easily stomped on Gwyn. Can’t decide if I want to play DS3 or Sekiro next.

:ninja: edit had to pick DS3. Need to see what based Miyazaki and the crew at From learned from Bloodborne before I tackle Sekiro

After having beaten Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1 I seem to be bouncing off DS3. Don't really have an urge to throw myself into it like I did the other two...something about it is just off to me I think
