Didn't get to see much of the environment at all in this trailer, unfortunately. A few rocks. Hopefully they come through with some strong boss designs. I've also been lacking motivation to replay the base game and first DLC.

Absolutely. Stock rapier + Old Leo + Flynn's provides some of the highest DPS in the game. Viable from early game all the way to the end of the DLC. Certainly not the best for dealing with mobs, but utter destruction of bosses. This is actually the standard setup for DS2 speedruns until the RITB...

In DS2 you can get a twinblade very early, yes, but this is just a so-so weapon. The red iron twinblade isn't available until mid/late game. This is probably the best melee weapon in the game for PvE. Also worth looking into is Santiers Spear - very unique weapon and also very strong if used...

Iudex Gundyr and Asylum Demon are chumps compared to Father Gascoigne. The only thing Iudex has going for him is the weird abyssal transformation which is kind of unexpected for a first boss. I suppose you can quibble about whether Father G or Cleric Beast is technically the first boss in...

Your starting armor is fine for the entire game. The fact that you can't upgrade armor makes it clear they didn't really want that to be a focus this time around. Make no mistake though - armor does make a significant difference compared to going naked. I dunno, were you expecting to get some...

It's actually frightening that this patch managed to make it through their QA process as the stuttering happened very frequently (every couple minutes) regardless of what you were doing in game and independent of the quality of your hardware. Now FROM, if you could instead focus your attention...

I feel like this isn't a very accurate assessment of grinding in Souls games. By fighting enemies multiple times you learn their attack patterns, what type of damage they're vulnerable to, areas of the map where they overwhelm you, how easily they can be staggered, dodged, etc. You're becoming...

Pretty pumped even though I've already been spoiled by watching twitch streams of the JP version. The game looks really polished. I had originally planned to wait until tomorrow to snag the disc version for PS4, but the PC version is available now (for cheaper even) and it so happens I...

I'm mostly indifferent about face cams. Some streamers think it's important and others don't. What I find a bit sad is the twitch "business model" of showing cleavage to court the 15-year-old crowd while being terrible at the game, which is depressingly common. Mind you, I'm not saying these...

Is this a serious question? I just can't fathom a reason as to why anyone should care if Ben is OK with it. The video is clearly satire, which falls under the umbrella of fair use. I suppose there's an argument against it if it can be shown that DS3 is profiting from this activity, but that's...

I didn't think the purpose of the mobs disappearing after 12-15 kills was to limit the amount of grinding you could do, although perhaps that's part of the reason for that mechanic. I always thought it was to reduce the frustration of the tough slog all the way to a boss you're having trouble...

What you're doing here is twisting how the word diversity should be interpreted in order to make the original article sounds less ridiculous. This is an impossible task, frankly, and trying to rationalize nonsense actually does a disservice to your cause. First of all, in studies that make...

Except this doesn't hold universally when one considers other privately owned businesses. For example, there have been some recent, high-profile examples of restaurants denying service based on the race / religious views of the customer. As far as I'm aware, this sort of discrimination has been...

If we go by your definition, every town square is also a safe space because certain forums of speech classified by law as hate speech or incitement to violence are disallowed. If every place is then a safe space, as you seem to be arguing, what possible relevance does the term even carry? I'll...

I felt the need to bring it up because safety is a word that was specifically used in the CoC. It's a misnomer when you stretch its definition to include anything that can make person feel uncomfortable, such as an internet argument. It evokes a sense of serious physical danger when none is...
