Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Thats an amazing if seeing as a skeleton in the beginning(despite all logic...the *** doesn't even have muscles to move his appendages! D:) can decimate you.

I feel that it has one of the more realistic combat systems. Flashy moves are cool and all but I don't get how the character can perform those maneuvers and not become tired after the 3rd time >.>

Flashy stuff doesn't interest me I guess, and I guess that is why I enjoy whm melee >.> was so much fun but I had to do a lot of work to stay alive against difficult enemies. It wasn't about the efficiency of killing fast to me, it was about what I had to do to become victorious.

Clearly a masochist....

Says the person who insisted on soloing things on PLD or NIN.

The game is open world for players who are experienced.

Take a normal RPG. You start off in easy mode, nothing really can kill you. You build your way up, and you build your character. As long as you kill everything on the way you pretty much have the same difficulty throughout the game.

Dark Souls is open world, you can take different challenges and depending on where you go you may not be experienced enough to take those areas on yet, so you go somewhere else. The beauty of this design is for when you're experienced. You don't want to take the same path you took last time, lets just go to the catacombs on a brand new game at level 1. You can do that, and as long as you're experienced enough there is nothing stopping you from defeating the game like that.

That is one of the reasons I think Dark Souls is such a great game.

Yea, I'm not really sure why they did that. Though to be fair they are pretty hard to reach places so most people won't even see the yellow doors (except for the one in anor londo).

Ugh... Every time I hear a car door open out front I'm like "omgomgomgomgisithere!?" Feel like a little kid again. ._.

Also itching to get started on actually putting my game together. Sooo tempted to use placeholder sprites and music, but if I do that, I'll end up falling into the trap of putting off making sprites and music until most of the game is done and then it'll be a huge pain to switch out all the placeholders with the proper stuff.

Doubt it's coming at 10pm
:|
Just sayin'....

Good thing it's not 10pm yet, then! And my 3DS came at around 10pm and I ordered it from the same place, so there! >:O

Urial I'm actually very surprised you don't play Dark Souls though, it has a very very popular PvP system. People stream fights all the time.

I was certain that would of pulled you in :x

My buddy and I played the game through twice recently, basically co-op'd the whole game. We'd beat a level on mine, then do his. We got down to Nito and couldn't summon for some reason, and couldn't figure it out. I made the trek to Nito and realized the gate was locked, which is why we couldn't summon. I made it up fine but my friend was stuck in the Catacombs (Since we used some short-cuts, the normal path up was locked) without flasks, a decent divine weapon, and a few other complications. We couldn't play for like two days because of RL ***and him being stuck down there. Was pretty hilarious in retrospect. I almost loaded his game off the cloud and fought my way through it for him.

Bleh

*** that.
Dark Souls PvP is scary as hell.

I learned from Demons Souls to go offline because the level range for PvP with you can be stupid. Someone rolls in like 11 levels higher and kicks the crap out of you.

I don't play a game like that for PvP. Also I always had the bad luck of having some crazy hard core player ending up in my game :|

I found a picture describing it but way too much profanity for me to care to edit out.
In short I have basic gear and they have god gear and I get stomped to the dirt.

Clearly UK has a better delivery service then the states. Weren't your post men on strike a few years back? o.O

It's not bad.

>that feel when you're singing along to songs, thinking you're alone, and someone walks in from another room
I want to die. ._.;

Wasn't delivered by Royal Mail; was a seperate delivery company.

You know I'm gonna ask you in 22 minutes right?

11 levels difference is like... no difference at all. Even if they put all those points into STR or health, at best it'd only be a difference of being able to absorb one more hit before dying (If they're lucky). Now, going up against someone that's 200 levels higher than you, that's a difference... but that only happens in Dark Souls if you're invading other people with certain invasion items, and you bring it on yourself by doing so. Dark Souls PvP is scary, and incredibly imbalanced at the early levels because of twinks, but once you get to a comfort zone, it's very easily an even playing field.

I see. I don't recall UPS or FedEx being that awesome as yours. Maybe a private local carrier could do but would be hella expensive here for 10 PM delivery. /gives one point to the UK.

Yea, I'm not talking about PvP when you start the game. People are *** and the game will attract those types of players.

I'm talking about when you're ready to PvP, around level 60 or something. Going to the forest for PvP is how I started out, got to level 120, opened up all the important areas for PvP in NG+ and it's really fun.

I pvp at 120 and everyone is very respectable except for like 5% of invaders. They will stand about 30 feet away from you looking at you and bow, you bow back, then you get any buffs you want on and fight. It can be a really enjoyable experience when done correctly.

That was the main problem I had.
It was far worse in Dark Souls than it had been in Demon Souls.
I played Demon Souls years after launch so it wasn't common and if it became to frequent I'd just go offline. Dark Souls though since it was knew it was quite common and killed the experience.

/pokes Leon with a pickled sausage

Yea, twinking is incredibly lame. I just ignore pvp until 60 like I said.

Yeah, I figured as much.

Uhh...
