Kewpuh posted:i wish dishonored didnt for some reason give me a massive headache to play like borderlands 1 did because id like to play it out and see how the story goes. like it makes the part behind my eyeballs hurt Try changing the FOV and the head bob amount in the options. They patched more options into the PC version a while ago because people were complaining about motion sickness.

TheHoosier posted:Adventure games are the poo poo. The King's Quest remakes, Journey, Dreamfall... all awesome games. I'm psyched about the new KQ game. It looks kinda platformy but I don't give a poo poo. Package a turd in a KQ box and I'll open it. MASK OF ETERNITY DID NOTHING WRONG There are worse fates for a series, I suppose.

I played Duck Tales over Thanksgiving break, go to the last level, but couldn't beat it before I went back to school. Now I just finished finals and am back home to complete the game.

It's easy as poo poo, even easier than Batman. If you're half competent at video games the Nemesis system turns into a parade of Orcs that didn't get beheaded, much like a bowl full of turds that didn't flush. The only difficult sections are the forced stealth which is still a thing. I remember Shadow of Rome had these awesome arena battles with much more satisfying combat than Mordor, it also had lovely stealth sections though.

I'm terrible at fighting games and platinum games and have to play them on easy to get through them. i don't really like/get the gameplay in them but the insane plots and action scenes keep me playing.Stux posted:not very far at all really, i played a mix of stealth with the silenced pistol and moved to the auto shotgun and AR for going loud. i got the cutting tool and a bit past that before i got bored with it the cutting tool gets ditched for the lasercraftwerk that you keep updating until its amazing. the ar gets a missile launcher attachment that you can dual wield, you murder an entire u boat crew, fly to the moon for an awesome moonraker parody mission, ride a giant mech on a rampage through a nazi prison, etc. plus the perk system is sweet. yeah som is great fun but unless you are going to ocd over breeding the ultimate orcs to get the best rune drops (which are totally worthless because you're already too powerful) it doesn't have the staying power i thought it would.

i really hated ds for a long time but then i played ds2 for real and i really enjoyed it after learning some of the basic poo poo and builds and what constitutes a good build like using a mace for 90% of the game because nothing resists strike damage

No reason to play SS1 first, although it would be a hilarious exercise. All you need to know about SS1 going into SS2: Shodan was an evil AI that took over a space station a while ago.

The Kins posted:I took a long time to bother trying Dark Souls 1 because the fanbase around it really turned me off. Same thing with Everything Platinum Games Does. Kind of a dumb/petty reason. I mean think the Dark Souls fanbase is probably one of the worst.But letting a fanbase dictate why you don't want to play it is silly.... But at the same time I can't blame you considering the git gud scrub mentality the fanbase has.

Dark Souls is good but the 'git good scrub' stuff is pretty obnoxious. There are plenty of obnoxious, stupid things that no amount of prep can really prepare you for. Like those assholes with the blowpipes in Blighttown. If you don't know about them, you will die, and you will probably not figure out why for quite some time.

You don't even know the half of it sometimes when I get a little irk when people go oh that boss? Feh what a joke.  It's like yeah good on you you are better than me, shut the hell up. And yet I say, try Demon Souls if you haven't as well, that was what made me got into the series. I can't wait for Bloodborne. edit: Ah kudos for trying out the series anyways.
