Developers getting inspired by games they play piss me off too. Like when Sakaguchi wouldn't shut up and Dungeons and Dragons, what a loving nerd.

I like video games like Dark Souls and am turgid at the arrival of Dark Souls 3.

I'm drinking red wine, so I'm gonna dramatically toss it aside like the first boss of Dark Souls: Symphony of the Night.

I thought DS3 already arrived based on my friends list being mostly composed of "in-game DARK SOULS 3".

Dark Souls 3 is good. I'm running it on a five-year-old computer with a three-year-old video card, and get decent frame rate on low settings most of the time. It's perfectly playable, so if you're like me and don't even meet the minimum requirements, try it out anyway, you may be able to tolerate it

The layering on that cover makes no sense. His arm that's further away from the viewer overlaps the tagline, but the muzzle flash from the gun he's holding closer to the viewer (and is firing towards his face for some reason?) is overlapped by the tagline.

This is how it's been with dark soul spergs from the very first one, just be glad it doesn't lead to a five page derail anymore.

This game is just as good as BB was, possibly better


However they front loaded the difficulty a lot, the first area is much harder then the second

I had a dream once that I was playing a Paul Blart Mall Cop game.

It was a horror title where you got stuck in the mall and had to navigate around on your rascal scooter attempting to keep it charged up while avoiding monsters that lurked in the mall.

That would probably be a legit fun game to play

It's not often though that we get such a prominent series that's actually good. Even that bad one's still a really good game.

I got to play Dark Souls 3 for a bit last night before collapsing due to being very, very tired.

It's amazing. Here's a video of me playing:

Also played Hyper Light Drifter while waiting for DS3, I love the music and sound tying into the game.

With a very small number of exceptions (monster hunter and ffxiv basically) shorter games seem to do it for me nowadays. Downwell and Gremlins, Inc have been my jam for a while

Life is Strange was my GOTY 2015, easy&shortcore supremacy for all time.

Being mad about "gaming fads" is stupid for the same reason being mad about a game being "overrated" is stupid: you're just creating in your mind an imaginary group of people who all like the thing you don't like, then getting mad about it. You're not even angry about a real thing, just about statistics you made up in your head.
