Hells yeah!Was it fun?
Bro I just beat Dark Souls
Its easy to get lost in the meme and "every game is dark soul now", but I don't think its an exaggeration to say that dark soul was the most influential game of its generation, and for good reason.Hells yeah!
Never in my life have I needed something so much, and never known until I received it.Started a game called Super Lesbian Animal RPG. Only about 20 minutes in, but it's lived up to all four of those words. I am also amused that the options menu has a yes/no toggle for "art", a slider for "politics", and another slider for "ludonarrative dissonance".
I've been meaning to grab that game forever, just never had time for it in my gaming schedule.Started a game called Super Lesbian Animal RPG.

I don't know, I thought Dark Souls 3 was pretty darn hard in the DLC. Hey, actually did you do the DLC in Dark Souls? I don't remember you talking about those fights.Some "parting" thoughts, before I start NG+, because Platinum:
- The old adage about how the hardest FROM game is whichever you play first is probably true.
I actually liked Tomb of the Giants, and I cleared it with the lantern because I didn't have the DLC and had to give up my shield. It's a really unique mechanic and adds a ton of suspense to exploration. There aren't many games that use darkness half so effectively.- The bullshit scales considerably in the second half with the pitch dark areas and invisible bridges and the Bed of Chaos boss. I'd rank the BS in the first half - namely Blighttown and Sen's Fortress - tough but fair.
Sorcery pretty much breaks the game over its knee. The soul arrow spells hit from a range most enemies can't deal with and does a ton of damage.- You can get by fine while ignoring a large breadth of the game's mechanics. Parrying, summoning, most spells/miracles/pyros and with minimal weapon switching or upgrading. Simply put, in my experience nothing was ever as crucial as timing Estus sips, conserving stamina for rolls and not getting greedy with attacks. That and dumb luck will win just about every fight.
I agree, always satisfying.- Thwacking enemies to the ground with a the Zweihander's R2 attack rocks.
I backed up a save just before fighting Gwyn so I could do the DLC later but without having to circle back from NG+. I kinda wanted to beat the game first before going there.I don't know, I thought Dark Souls 3 was pretty darn hard in the DLC. Hey, actually did you do the DLC in Dark Souls?

You can warp in and out of the DLC.I backed up a save just before fighting Gwyn so I could do the DLC later but without having to circle back from NG+. I kinda wanted to beat the game first before going there.
Am I trapped in the DLC until I beat it like Ariamis or can I warp back and forth freely?
That game is so cool, you can feel the love they put into it. Like, they knew it would be super niche but didn't care and did it anyway. I wish I could finish it, as much as I like it, for some reason I just can't bring myself to start it up and play more of it and I'm not sure why.Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
