  1. Dark Souls II is gonna take some getting used to. They really messed with some of the hit detection and on top of that they made enemy mobs much more numerous.

      Invincible rolls are the only reason I beat bosses like Ceaseless Discharge. >_<

       

      I'm probably gonna end up with a greatshield again in this one. Eagle Shield for most of the game on my first Dark Souls run. A great many uses, it had.

      Without spoiling anything, you find a iron great shield in the cathedral.

      That'll help when I get there. I think for now I'll have to settle for the one from the guy in Majule. Twin Dragons Greatshield, I think it was called.

  2. Things I hate about modern games: Create your own characters! Get immersed into the game by creating blank slates that don't have any personality! Predefined story? Who wants that? Let's not give any specific path and let them go wherever they want! ....Fuck that.

      I'm much the same way. I have games that I haven't played yet, partly due to not having time, partly due to not being in the mood. Oblivion was also released 8 years ago, and technology changes rapidly, just look at the difference in each successive ES game, plus some of the add-ons. True, no game will be fun if you're not in the mood or just not into that sort of thing, but each type has benefits and an audience.

      The one thing I can say I truly and without a doubt hate about Obsidian games is the fact that there are almost no cutscenes. Everything must be done through the eyes of the player character. It severely limits the ways they can tell the stories and I hate it.

      No predefined path is good but not instrumented well, at the end of the day you are forced to go down a set quest chain. The only choice you get is what side you fight for etc. One of the worst downfalls of Fallout and Elder Scrolls...

  3. Forums active one second, then dead the next. How odd.

      Maybe I should do some sort of free-form lyrical madness at the end of my posts. Might add a bit of a trademark to my posts. "This just in, Raronoopa is totally and utterly mad. I blame the Pikachus"

    4. Discordian

      Discordian

      You don't have to be good at Haiku, you just gotta flesh out your posts a bit. Not particularly hard really.

       

      But then again, I have a tendency to make long-winded posts anyway if y'all haven't noticed. I don't skimp on words. xD

  4. A supposed troll topic just got deleted. I don't know if it was confirmed to actually be a troll even if it was hostile. I dislike that the creator wasn't even given the chance to prove themselves.

      Again, we've been trained to think of it like that. The internet is absolutely rancid with people who use vocabulary like that out of ill intent or just to be obnoxious. I admire you giving the benefit of the doubt, but unfortunately, the majority of internet culture has that quick-to-jump mindset.

    3. Discordian

      Discordian

      I had typed out a response to try to clear things up but it got deleted before I could post it. A second or third post from them would have cleared things up completely. He could have been hostile because he expected hostility in return. That's exactly what he got, too.

       

      Confirmation vs assumption. I guess it's beyond the point of mattering though.

    4. Geek0zoid

      Geek0zoid

      Well, at this point, I guess it's nothing but guess work.

  5. Man, TGS has been showing some good stuff this year. New Sonic: Lost World trailer, new Castlevania: Lords of Shadow gameplay, new Lightning Returns gameplay...

      Yeah I know what you mean. People confuse what a debate is supposed to be about too often and it becomes nothing more than a shouting match. It happens here, it happens on Gamefaqs, and it will happen anywhere else on the internet.

       

      I debate much less than I used to though. These days I prefer to hermit away and play/talk about video games. <_< >_>

      On the other hand, since it was cut off through the portal rather than physical means would she have felt anything?

    3. Judgement

      Judgement

      Hmm. I could have sworn that it had blood spurting out of the finger a little. I think she would have felt something even for a baby. But hey, it's better to loose your finger as a baby rather than an adult in my opinion.

    4. Discordian

      Discordian

      It did so I suppose it would have been painful. But yeah, if you're young enough you can't even remember it then it's better. Dat full circle tho.

  13. Listening to music from the Sonic series. Now on Unknown To Me from Sonic Adventure. Awwww yeah.

      I personally like it a lot but just wish the aiming was a little smoother. Auto-aiming without the ability to manually aim is pretty lame. The story is where it's at though.

    3. Moonlight

      Moonlight

      Yeah, auto-aiming would have been a useful add-on to the game. I did think the story was alright though. I might pick the game back up sometime and beat it. Same with Sonic Heroes.

    4. Discordian

      Discordian

      I HIGHLY recommend going for the true ending of Heroes and Shadow. If there's one thing the Sonic series does absolutely right, it's final bosses.

      I haven't seen ALL of Sonic X but I have seen a good amount of it and I love it. I'll never hate 4Kids either. They brought so many awesome shows to me. :P

      GeneralDirection

      I have seen all of it...many times. :3 I loved it too...could never understand why there was so much hate for it. But 4Kids kinda botched the...umm...I can't think of word...whatever. New show sounds cool though, I was just thinking about how it had been a while since Sonic X too...

      I'd never even heard of it until last night when Crispy and NNL were posting some of the videos from it. Was pretty sweet.

    4. Viscra Maelstrom

      Viscra Maelstrom

      i haven't heard much from Metallica save from their more famous songs, but the Black Album (or just self-titled Metallica, also) is apparently slower and more commercial in sound than their other works.

  17. Final Fantasy XV turned out to be one of the best games in the series. It was decent for the first half of the game but the last few chapters really cemented it into place. Doing postgame now. Gonna get dat Plat.

      I suppose. There's so many games out there that I could very easily not play any indie games for years though. I think the last one I played was Freedom Planet.

    3. yeet

      yeet

      To say you have to wait ages to install and play a game on console is retarded, cause you still have to wait for it to install on pc, and with pc if you wanna play all the new games you need to keep upgrading your pc, but with my xbox for example I can already play them all.

    4. yeet

      yeet

      What is bad about console is how companies have to dumb down a lot of their games on pc so the consoles can run them.

  18. Huh. Apparently they debunked the theory that the Final Fantasy series was named so because it was originally going to be Squaresoft's last game. It literally could have been any word that started with F to match the Fantasy bit. Final just sounded cool. :laugh:

      Aha. I've thought the show has only improved in spite of the hiccup that was season 3's shortness. Season 4 blew me away.

  24. Seems it's happening again. When MLP ends I pretty much lose most of my interest in MLPforums. Doesn't help that there's just so many people here now that it's hard to find anyone who actually has any background that fits with yours well enough to get decent conversation. Meaningful conversation gets lost when forums become bigger. Remember peeps, you can always PM me or add me on Xbox Live or PSN under the name Resulli if you wanna stay in contact. I check back on the forums...

      Discordian

      Don't get me wrong. I don't fault others for wanting to be masochistic and doing all the challenging stuff, it's just not my thing. Whether I have the skill or not has little to do with it, it's just a matter of wanting to experience the game. Once I've reached the end I have gotten my fill of the game. I have a lot of unfinished games though because my skill and patience isn't up to snuff and I stop caring about whether I beat it. Odin Sphere, for example. :P
