    I don't understand why people enjoy Dark Souls/Demon's Souls

    Yes, yes, of course. Gameplay is just clicking buttons until you win. What can I say? I found the combat a boring, predictable obstacle to get through rather than an exciting encounter. Either way, even fans will readily admit the combat depth is hardly the game's strong point. It's the...

    I don't understand why people enjoy Dark Souls/Demon's Souls

    I see what you're saying, but for me personally I don't look into lore. I don't listen to developer interviews. In order for me to really care about a video game story it needs to influence choices or for my choices to influence it, or at least motivate me with a begining, middle and end. The...

    DELETED

    Sounds like they addressed almost every issue I had with demons souls.

    I don't understand why people enjoy Dark Souls/Demon's Souls

    I thought all the posts poo pooing demons souls before didn't appreciate challenge, then I tried it. The gameplay was just awful, I was pretty disappointed. Every enemy is defeated by either 1. Diving behind them and insta stabbing. 2. Blocking and circling, and when you attack all you...

    I have a bone to pick with XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

    Tactics boil down to risk mangement, as any rng games does, but imo this game gives you enough options to consider using. The thing is, you have to stack the odds in your favour incredibly. Consider anything under 70% to hit as a pot shot to be used if you have no better options. And if you...

    Poll: Has Microsoft's changes to Xbox One DRM changed your decision on getting the console?

    Doing a 180 on drm, and the game project spark being an exclusive have made it a possibility.... If they sell a cheaper version sans kinect then it becomes a contender.

    RPGs with the best combat systems

    Dragons dogma. I've praised its combat enough times on this site. It's pretty damn close to perfect combat wise.

    What does it mean to be "alive?"

    The reproduction aspect is just for classification of a species, not whether an individual is alive or not.

    Objectification? Sexualization? What do the ladies think?

    Since this thread seems fairly reasonable I'll weigh in on this topic just this once, just from my perspective because that's all I have. "Specific aspects that people, women in particular, find most abrasive?" It was a long time before I played bayonetta. The "sexy, sexy" protagonist was...

    If there was going to be an XCOM: Enemy Unknown sequel, what changes would you like to see?

    KEEP: The squad size. I'm actually fairly happy with 6, possibly take it up to 8 but not more. The thing is, the larger your squad size the longer each turn takes, and the more damage output you can dish out completely unanswered. IMO it might make it slower paced and easier. The current...

    Need a long RPG, Dragon's Dogma Vs. Xenoblade

    Dragon's Dogma- Difficulty - Challenging but fair. If you die it's usually your own fault or you took a wrong turn, but it's definitely not a walk in the park. Although I never felt I needed to grind, leveling to a suitable strength just seemed to happen as I played the game which was a...

    Remember Me - Possibly good? Maybe?

    Been following it for a while...it looked REALLY rubbish at first, especially the animations but now like it's getting better. Voice acting seems terrible, cringeworthy even. Combat looks good....but other than that the gameplay seems a bit contrived. At a glance the climbing/memory aspects...

    Buying a PS3 now - worth it?

    I bought a second hand one about 4 months ago. I'm definitely not getting a next gen console for a long time anway and there are quite a few good exclusives. Controller is fine, even though the triggers could be designed a bit better they aren't uncomfortable.
