Yeah I think he's just childish.
Nah I just get drunk and shitpost far too often. Don't take it seriously at all.
I try to. I have borderline personality disorder so I burn a lot of bridges naturally.
Thats the thing, I did criticise but what you chose didnt show my "hypocrisy". It actually showed that there was merit behind what I said.
Thanks for understanding my dude.
So like I said to you in another post, I decided to hold off on DS3, despite loving it, to go back and play DS1, and play the series chronologically. You're not kidding about level design, it's just brilliant.
No clue tbh. I remember only using claymore and sometimes rocking the Havel set. I also like to be light, and dont get more than 50%.
Yes, play Bloodborne afterwards and you’ll love that combat, don’t go back to DS1 like I did though, you’ll be disappointed (and JoJo will get butt hurt if you say it wasn’t anything other than a masterpiece like Mario brothers). DS1 is only remembered for the first half of that game because it was fantastic but it drastically fell off in the second half.
Youre man of the year.
I’d honestly like to hear a good argument for the second half of dark souls....because that second half kinda sucked and felt like padding. Second half of dark souls should’ve been the DLC.
I wasnt belittling you, I was making a schoolboy Q reference.
Lol that was mostly just my mistake then, truthfully I was a real deal schoolboy q fan back in the Habits/Setbacks day’s. Fuck that was seems like along ass time...lol it’s late, have a good night my G
I'm not finished the game yet, but I'm pretty deep in at this point
I thought his name was Index at first lol. I had that name in my head long after I refunded the game. Anytime I saw someone rave about Souls games, I thought of "Index" and how he made me quit. It bothered me so much. That's where my title of this thread some from, killing that fuck.I love all of them for different reasons, even the much hated Dark Souls II
Such a great series that respects you and your intelligence
BTW OP, it's Iudex, not Ludex, pronounced YUDEX I guess in English, from the Latin word for Judge/Juror.
I still think Gundyr (or Stundyr as I like to call him) is perhaps the best tutorial boss in all of Soulsborne, love that guy. He's kind of a pushover if you know what you're doing, but he's menacing enough to feel intimidating to new players, with a cool moveset and that weird "WTF" moment to make people go "WOW THIS GAME WILL BE AMAZING!" He's a perfect starting point for new skeletons.
His Champion cousin is something else though lol
Btw, I had a very similar experience as you. I think you'll love Sekiro all the same once it clicks. It's early days and maybe a bit of a honeymoon thing, but I think Sekiro is tied with Bloodborne already for me when it comes to From Soft games. So definitely pick that one up too down the line. It's very different from Dark Souls, and yet again, in a weird way, it isn't ...
Glad to see youre enjoying it. The story has just started.I'm not finished the game yet, but I'm pretty deep in at this point
I was in love with the challenge and level design, but more than anything, I've become enamoured with the lore/world.
I usually need a strong/overt narrative to push me on, but the way this game's story is told is completely unique. It's vague, but as deep as anything if you look. i love how respawning is explained in the world, and little details like flasks being bottled fire...that's genius. Your immersion is rarely broken.
There are so many questions I'll probably never get answered, or they'll be open to interpretation, which makes things extra rich, like any great mystery.
I really couldn't put a finger on what makes the world building/narrative so impactful, until I saw this quote from Miyazaki. It encapsulates the DS experience
I've been watching some of Vaati's vids, making sure to only watch things I knew about (namely bosses I've killed), or didn't involve topics that could spoil things. It's fantastic stuff, I love how he uses in game assets/machinima.
This mantis guy is amazing as well. I love this particular video, that's where I saw the above quote. It's soooo damn good!
My biggest wow factor is still when I got to Anor Londo the first time. I don't know what's more glorious, the city visual that first time, or Gwynevere's rack. The music that plays in her chamber is so uplifting lol. I needed that as I took a beating in there, as I was terrible at parrying at first.
This has def become one of my fav games ever.
Once you finish the preceding soulsborne games, youre gonna laugh at how you struggled with him lol.
Just always try and try, you'll overcome.
Never played a Tenchu game but its basically a faster bloodborne with a new combat system and the same classic DS story telling but with more traditional story telling. Youre gonna struggle real hard cause it plays different, but its got the best or second best combat system to BB.
I stopped playing DS3 at the road to sacrifice before stopping to play DS remastered. I look forward to going back to it with all the skills I have now, and will accumulate still. I'm going play that with a buddy of mine as much as possible. I hear it's more friendly for coop
Might be just me but I recommend playing alone to have the best experience, co-op makes the game easy unless youre fighting some of the notoriously hard bosses. Its more fun with friends but you never get the "oh my god, I just did that" with co-op. So maybe play alone after playing it the first time?
I dont remember much from DS1 except few moments like O&S, Anor Londo,the final boss (I wont spoil the name), and the goddamn final boss OST. I literally spent as much time fighting him just to listen to that piano.
Thanks for the tips man, and everything else, it's fun to share, and hear from those who've been through it. Thanks mostly for turning me onto amazing experiences. I always take notice when someone speaks passionately about something like you did in this thread. I too love this game and the lore in it, and through Youtube vids!
Thanks for noticing, I get really passionate about certain topics, and gaming is something Ill never really grow out of. I want people to experience the greatness Ive experienced, and if I made you play and get into a new game series, then Ive made a positive in the world. I know the flaws with the games I love, and I love them regardless but I also know why others may not like them. I also find it annoying when someone says something is "overrated" or "boring" without going into specifics, and it grinds my gears when people get into a sequel, then go back to the original game, and see that the sequel improved in areas and thus claim the game isnt as good as other claim etc. I always try to look at games in context to its time and contemporaries.Thanks for the tips man, and everything else, it's fun to share, and hear from those who've been through it.

I'd say about half those hours are me dying in places I probably shouldn't be in lol, but I love exploring this world! Curiosity killed the Dark Soul..repeatedly
