    Is Dark Souls really that good?

    If you need to grind in either game you are playing it wrong. In a new game of Dark Souls you'll get to around level 70-75 with little issue, more than enough to see you through the game. Haven't played Demon's Souls in a LONG time, but i can't remember griding being mandatory there either, in...

    New MOBA

    Dota 2 obviously. It's tough to get in to, no matter if you played LoL or not, but it's also very rewarding once you get the hang of it. I've never really tried any other MobA, LoL and DotA aside, that feels right tbh. Tried a few different ones but nah, DotA and League are by far the best ones...

    FFVIII on Steam

    If it's anything like their port of 7, compatibility is not an issue anymore, but other than that the game is the same old thing. With better resolution options ofc. But nah, still midi tunes. Can't believe i still have the big-box version on my shelf, haha :P

    Is Dark Souls really that good?

    Story, art, challenenge, gameplay, exploration, game balancing and so forth. Where Skyrim just shoves the food equivalent of McDonalds in your face untill you throw up, Dark Souls is the well cooked and meticulously prepared fine dining that you savor. It's a completely different beast all...

    Is Dark Souls really that good?

    So....you are conflicted about the game because it's fun, but if you take the fun part out it'd suck? I mean that sort of logic can be used on ANY game. Ico was great, but i don'w know...if they took out all of the puzzles it'd be pretty mediocre. I don't know, League of Legends is great, but if...

    Actually, the giant dad build f***ing wrecks PvE :P

    Is Dark Souls really that good?

    Some parts of the game are a bit BS and pretty much impossible to see coming, even with careful play. I don't think anyone would deny that, but the game overall is very fair and an overwhelming majority of your deaths will be because of yourself. It's impossible to balance a game perfectly...

    Is Dark Souls really that good?

    There is no such thing as "the best weapon in the game". The Uchi is a good Dex weapon, but the Balder Side Sword or Falchion are also good options, not to mention the Great Scythe. It all comes down to what move set you prefer. What makes the Uchi good is that you can grab it very early...

    Is Dark Souls really that good?

    I can very much relate to your experience, as that was pretty much the exact experience i had with Demon's Souls. First time playing i spent maybe 3 hours just bashing my head against the 1-1 stage, and after that i just declared the game bollocks and gave up. Returned to it a few months later...

    Is Dark Souls really that good?

    If you play your first time after a guide you might as well not even bother getting it imo. Some general tips on how to build a character, what certain stats do and so forth...well, that's one thing. That just helps you understand the basics of the game but some bullcrap guide that just points...

    Is the Penumbra series any good?

    Black Plague is really good, the other ones...meh. I'd strongly recommend Black Plague, the story is good, the atmosphere is creepy and the puzzles are "fun". Well as fun as it gets when you are trapped in a goddamn mine full with monsters trying to eat your face. The voice in your head is great...

    Is Dark Souls really that good?

    Generally, yes. It's worth trying it no matter what imo. The price is very low now, and it's a fantastic game. Sure it's niche and it is difficult, but it's not unfair. Perhaps at a few points i still, after untold playthroughs, still curse at the screen but generally, if you fuck up you have no...

    Kicking Noobs

    I think kicking newbies just for being new or bad is a really shit attitude. However, it's also an attitude thing on behalf of the newbie, i think. People who are willing to admit that they are new and maybe not that great, they are usually alright. Because them knowing that they are shit...

    Dark Souls 2, PVP

    Summoning is easy mode, you should just learn to beat Orns and Smough without help :P That said, i'm sure there will be ways of avoiding PvP if you don't want it.

    Do you think Bayonetta is a positive example of a female protagonist?

    Ok, maybe i'm damaged because i once had aspirations of becoming a character artist... but sorry, what? Her proportions are ridiculous. If you think that's how a real woman looks, boy are you going to be disappointed when you get one in the bedroom :P Her body is very elongated, especially...
