On windows you can force doing adjustments. not on consoles, so they ported a 96 ppi interface to something that desperately needed to be bigger.

my bed is actually a tanning bed refitted with a 90 inch screen instead of a uv lamp array.

In all honesty even when it goes in my PS4 I'm not really playing Unity, I'm just wandering around Paris and shanking people with assorted dressup options. :3:

It's worth it for cheap but it has maybe the worst game structure of the whole series.

I didn't learn how to backstab in Dark Souls until the final boss. I just thought I sucked at finding the sweet spot or something, didn't know I had to just push the control stick button.

It is entirely finding the sweet spot. It also makes the final boss really boring.

He's a pushover even without abusing that or parrying. Thank god they got the final boss in Bloodborne right.

The final guy in Bloodborne is also super easy to parry-fish to death but everything about him is basically still better than Gwyn

There's a weird twofaced attitude, where they all want to take the e-credit and Nerd Respect for being good at a hard game... and still want to act like it's piss easy so they can feel superior.

I guess it's less about how hard it is, and more about whether you're willing to slam your head against a wall for an extended period of time. A lot of people find that to make the win more gratifying afterwards, I never did.

I actually legitimately cannot believe it took one post between "someone talks about dark souls" and "someone jumps in to make wicked sick burns on people who like dark souls". One single post. Just smh.

edit: Not even people who like dark souls, just people who played the game in general. It's weak, dude, real weak.

If u said bloodborne was stupid hard i would agree. Ng not really but if you gently caress up your build (read: not put more than 20 points in vitality) you simply won't be able to beat ng+ unless you can somehow never get hit
