Speaking of State of Decay can anyone tell me wtf is up with the breakdown mode? I figured it was supposed to be more open and last longer but when I started there was like 3 choices available for a homebase (with one of them being the church-base no one will want to choose because you're forced into it in the first game anyway) and I got the RV up and running while my first base was just starting to get into it's groove.

I know you're supposed to keep new game+ing it but I figured the RV was going to be difficult to put together and you'd only want to do it when you were about to exhaust your games resources?

If somebody sends you a party or game invite and you miss the little pop-up, is there someplace they show up afterward? IIRC, on 360 they'd show up in Messages, but it seems like they're gone if you miss them on the bone. Am I missing something or is this another example of Microsoft's stellar UI design?

i just finished blighttown/quelaag for the first time last night actually. you're a baby. the hardest fight in there is the frame rate

Yeah, it's the little notification thing that should be in the top left of the home screen. It's not in a good spot compared to how the 360 did it.

It's not really the difficulty of the fights, I pretty much have the game up to blighttown memorized, however I do make a point of not reading about how to progress and don't know where to go next out of a certain area I'm in which has come to be 'the end of dark souls 1' for me. Of course I always have to start a new character every time I go back to the game, so there's that, I can't just pick up where I left off a few months ago, I can never ever do that, so I generally get tired of the game by the number of hours it takes to get to blighttown

I thought the joysticks were an improvement, does this make me a bad person or some kind of pedophile (I did own a Vita at one point)?

In my defense I've only spent any real time with the Bonetroller on PC.

I've done all the crazy trench runs in Ace Combat games but can't do poo poo in GTA because they're so bad.

Part of that is how terrible flight is in GTA, but it also toggles settings just trying to move down menu items.

I'm pretty sure they're both 1080p, digital foundry snuck in the comparison during a half-baked bloodborne vs dark souls 2 comparison article. In any case I'm sorry for anyone buying dark souls 2, it's easily the worst of the series.

hmmm .....

well I'm just going to drop in and say dark souls 2 is probably worse than dark souls 2, but better than dark souls 2. anyways if you're considering buying it on xbone pr ps4 because you sadly can't listen to advice on how to purchase souls games at $7.50 on steam, rest assured that despite what goons say or the fact i've only played a couple hours of it, dark souls 2 is a good game in its own right and is better than 90% of games on xbox and ps4 right now

Other than some FPSes and genres where it makes no sense like puzzle games, I'm having a hard time thinking of a single game that doesn't have boss fights. poo poo, even a lot of puzzle games have 'boss fights'.

E: Maybe Grand Theft Auto?? Saints Row had bosses.

GTA5's heists are an analogue for boss fights. GTA4 doesn't really have any real obvious ones.

Kind of hard to count anything out though when "boss fight" just means something harder and a gateway for progression.
