    Potions and Special Items in Games

    I have an extreme case of "but I might need it later" syndrome. Well, it's because I'm a hoarder in real life, but I somehow managed to channel the worst of it in to games.(IRL it's not as extreme as you see on TV, but in games it's horrible) I never use health potions in RPGs, but I still...

    JRPGS vs Western RPGs. What's your preference?

    I play both, but I prefer jRPGs. wRPGs are just as bad as jRPGs in recycling the same basic story, characters and gameplay, so I choose the superior combat systems.

    I need a good Training FPS

    Painkiller requires all basic FPS skills and is difficult but fair. If you die, you weren't moving around enough.

    Dark Souls (minor spoilers?)

    You mean the dragon? It took me a couple of tries, but I somehow managed to get past that point. I'm still not sure how I managed to do it.

    Dark Souls..

    I enjoyed the difficulty of Demons Souls a lot more, but Dark Souls wins slightly in every other area. But I guess I'm only saying this because Demons Souls was a bit more predictable and easier because of it.(but I guess that'll change as I play Dark Souls more)

    Dark Souls..

    I already have it, it arrived in the mail a week ago :) I still need to defeat the second boss(Taurus Demon), but that's because he keeps knocking me off the edge of where I'm fighting him.(ignoring the times I rolled off the edge myself...) The game does need more perfection than Demons...

    Dark Souls (minor spoilers?)

    The firebombs idea is a good one, but I still haven't learned the demon's attack pattern so I get destroyed by that giant hammer.(read: I wasted most of my firebombs and died) It's actually easier for me at this point to start a new character now that I know how to play properly, than it is to...

    Dark Souls (minor spoilers?)

    After playing the game a bit more, I now finally paid attention to the name of the boss, it's the Taurus Demon. I also know how to defeat it, and I would have if I didn't roll off the side of wherever I was.(yes it's obvious where to go and yes I'm an idiot for not figuring it out earlier)...

    Dark Souls (minor spoilers?)

    IIRC it's official release is this Friday but I got it in the mail last Tuesday, only been able to play it since last Friday, so... Anyone else that already got the game? IMO it's hard as hell, I'm not very far in to the game since I'm getting destroyed by a boss.(might be a boss you're...

    What is that Power-up/Achievement/item that you worked incredibly hard for?

    10 billion damage man trophy in Disgaea 3. I've been somewhat lucky with Disgaea 3, so it only took me about 10 hours of in-game grinding to get all the required items and innocents(item boosts).

    Do you need GFWL for DOW II Singleplayer?

    It runs in the background and hides itself so I don't know how much resources it uses or what it does. However, I never had any problems with it, even on my laptop, so I don't think it's a huge resource drain.

    Do you need GFWL for DOW II Singleplayer?

    Unfortunately, you won't really understand the campaign of Retribution if you don't play the first two DoW2 games, and you'll miss all the races for The Last Stand(you only get the Imperial Guard captain with Retribution) But to answer your original question: you need GFWL to start DoW2 and...

    Single Fortress 2?

    When I last played(stopped when the random drops were introduced) I was often the only medic in the server and the person I healed often didn't even bother to protect me.

    Aliens are invading and you are armed with the last weapon you used in a video game.

    Stakegun from Painkiller. I'm not sure, a magically reloading stakegun/grenade launcher/rocket launcher* is useful, but two of the weapon's functions require an extremely good aim. So it all depends on if you also get the skills you have in-game. *hitting a grenade with a stake creates...
