All the SF guys are wizards who do special moves, except for Guile who is just moving his hand so fast that he is creating a literal sonic boom.

Pfft only OP noobs have to kill four of them.

There's a glitch that the hitbox for each one stays there for a couple seconds after they're killed so you can get 1-2 extra hits. You end up facing a little less than 3 of them in that fight doing that.

Alright. It's not a big pressure for me to play it since I own the PS3 version. I got the PC version because Steam likes to sell it for a pittance and it came with the DLC, which I never got on the PS3.

Ryu from Street Fighter would count as a monk because he is an unarmed fighter that channels his Ki or whatever.

A simple way to solve this is to ask your roommate if they consider Goku to be a wizard, if Ryu is a wizard then that means Goku and everyone in Dragonball Z is a wizard too.
If your roommate is okay with this then you know they are a crazy person and you should move out.

Despite being a bad service, it's also kind of a shame because, as far as I know, they have no plans to re-open the marketplace without GFWL or re-sell any of the games that were available there on other platforms. So downloadable versions of Viva Pinata and probably some other non-pinata games no longer exist legally.

It would make sense to put them on steam, of course, but I also wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft just decided not to, either to spite valve or because they just don't give a poo poo about whatever portion of people might still want to buy those games.

It's also going to take down any GFWL game with it, unless the Developer goes back in and removes it. That includes many games that have been sold through Steam. That may include Dark Souls.

So we're going to see a somewhat significant example of the horrors of digital distribution. It'll be... Interesting.

Then they are casting magic without saying anything. SF guys yell it out cuz its way cooler that way. Since when does magic need voice recognition? Its loving magic.

Scoops strolling through the rest of this game is kind of a bummer. It's no fun when it's a cakewalk like this.

It looks like Dark Souls 2 is gonna fix the stat issue where you need to spread 'em around instead of dumping them all into str and end and turning unstoppable.

I picked Dark Souls up on release when it was still in that weird period where nobody knew what the gently caress, so I ended up beating the game with poise-less hardened leather armor, the lightning spear, a bunch of points in resistance, and like 25 useless points in dex because everyone said that was what let you do the flip roll (it isn't). I think having a garbage character honestly made the late game more enjoyable.

It's really simple, wizards summon elements from another realm using incantations, catalysts and the like. Mystical monks, Street Fighters™ and even Goku channel their energy from within. Goku needs no wand.

Yeah I finished it with a mix of Str, End, Vit, and some Dex. My main weapon was a fire claymore +5. The final boss was easy but I was about SL60 instead of Patrick (and Vinnys) SL80 something. I had issues with the late game bosses. Patrick just put his 40th point into END so he's loaded.

I think DS gets so much easier when you have some good advice on builds and stuff that it actually throws the game out of balance. The 'hard as gently caress' reputation comes in part from the first few waves of people that played through it when all this poo poo wasn't figured out the the eighth decimal place. I'm not making GBS threads on Patrick's ability or saying he's playing it 'wrong' or anything, incidentally. Just that the game isn't actually balanced that well later on, and the problem's exacerbated when you have people in chat giving (mostly) decent advice about leveling stuff up and weapons to use. It's partially because of the splitting paths in the endgame -- the curve goes all out of whack after Anor Londo and it's pretty well established that the back half of the game isn't as good as the first.
