I Failed At Anime 2022

Most Japanese people think anime is dumb and terrible.

Congrats, you read an article. That doesn't change that SAO is wildly popular to the conglomerate of otaku and teenagers who eat this poo poo up over there and it's advertised on billboards and screens in public places.

They sell anime like that over here for like $50 per DVD because they know only a relatively small number of enthusiasts have any interest in it at all.

edit: and is shown on TV around midnight, surely that gives you a hint that it's's not for very many people?

I mean, I also went through a phase where I thought everyone here just watched anime/played anime games all the time, but now I know it's just a very very few things that aren't nerd only.

I'm the weirdo that likes Dark Souls 2 more than Bloodborne, DS1, and Demon Souls 1. I've got more hours put into it than all those other From games combined. Something about it just clicked with me.


I only played the first DLC on PS3, but I'm waiting for Scholar to go on sale before I double dip on the PS4. But if you're jonesing for more Souls action after BB, it's your best (only?) bet on the PS4.

All anime that's not for little kids airs late at night, most people use the crazy new technology of recording it and watching later, and Japanese DVD pricing is a combination of dumb 'that's how it's always been done' and 'if it's expensive that means it's quality'.

I was thinking about checking out DS2 after BB, but I might just end up going back to DS1 until DS3 comes out.

There's quite a few goons still playing. There's a thread for it, too, but I can't find it at the moment. Which trophies are confusing you?

Maybe we're just going off different definitions of "popular". I have no doubt SAO is popular among the late night fantasy anime crowd, but I doubt it's POPULAR popular.

Yeah a bunch of us still play. What don't you understand about the trophies? I think they are all just for playing the maps/modes and there are 2 for finishing a twelve week period as each faction.

Been getting back into Batman (also my first Arkham game so I'm not weighing it against the other ones) since I finished TW3 and it's really awesome, but for some reason I can't pinpoint it's not fully sucking me in. I enjoy playing it for 30-45 minutes at a time but always lose interest after that. I don't even know why. It plays great and looks gorgeous.

Holy poo poo that photo mode tho. I have never seen a photo mode in a game that looks so good. My snapshots look more like high quality bullshots than actual screenshots and just spinning around the world and looking at all the little details and raindrops is awesome.

Say, do you know how to do the walk?
I completely beat Arkham Knight and have no desire to play it again, because it doesn't really do anything all that special. I feel after experiencing it, that there is no reason not to just play Arkham City. The gameplay barely feels a step up from Arkham city.

The Legend
Whoever said that Vanishing of Ethan Carter theme was good wasn't lying. I hate the noises and I don't know why they made any icon bright orange, but the actual background is really neat. In the time it took me to watch a few episodes of Veep it went from bright and sunshiny to raining.

I guess that's not a very good endorsement but 99% of the themes out there are out and out trash.

Dark Souls 2 is still a great game, it's just the lesser in a series of amazing games

As long as we're talking about themes I'll also say the Journey one is solid. Nice pretty desertscape with really pretty, yet not overpowering, music and the little chirps that the characters make as sound effects.

Everyone should play DUKE games.

:dukedog:
If I had to rank them myself it would go:
Demon's Souls
Bloodborne
Dark Souls
Dark Souls 2

Dark Souls 2 is the only one I got a little bored and frustrated with though, they're all real good.

Dark Souls 2 is a really good game but it also seems like they half assed it a little bit.

I've been watching someone play it for an hour. So far I'm still not into the story... the game has great visuals, soundtrack and the VA is not terrible. It is pretty much a walking simulator, you go from place to place getting bits and pieces of the story.
