My dark souls experience was clearing the tutorial, smacking the rude npc knight in the face, and the. Getting more or less instantly killed because I wasn't good at the game yet. It was pretty funny.

I then spawned next to the guy and proceeded to discover that he doesn't stop being hostile after he kills you and got spawn camped.

I haven't touched it since.

Everything thing about this, including you quitting the game because of it, is good.

Difference in control is the only meaningful distinction between console and PC when talking about how games play and since PC gets kb/m then console gets controller.

except the meaningful distinction only goes one way because you can use literally the same gamepad to play the same game on a pc

Only on Xbone, the drat dual shock 4 still doesnt plug and play into PC without downloading 3rd party programs and drivers and even when you do it you get xbone prompts which i hate. Ive never owned a microsoft console so I dont have the buttons assigned to muscle memory and I keep failing QTEs because I dont know which button is B.

There's no reason not to have a controller for PC gaming. Trying to play driving/racing games or most flying games with a kb/m sucks

Dark souls is really well put together. In fact it's so well crafted it gets kind of boring seeing it run after the 2nd or 3rd time. There's not a lot of jank or really interesting broken stuff in it which means it's a solid product. But at the same time I feel like there's nothing deeper to explore.

It's like bagging a really hot chick that makes more money than you and loves in you every way but won't do anal.

What should I know about Dark Souls other than the games look drab and tedious and attract obsessive weirdos? I'm currently enrolled in an associate!s degree program in Dark Soul Studies at a community college, so excuse my gaps in education.

That said, I'm terrible at Bloodborne and only completed the game and DLC because I kept grinding until my high level was able to compensate for my mistakes, and I never really bothered posting about the gameplay anywhere because I assumed it would spark a load of Git Gudding.

a bone to pick posted:

Apparently Dark Souls 3 had a massive cheating issue on PC too: https://kotaku.com/dark-souls-3-pc-has-a-massive-cheating-problem-1773660707

So are we still going to gaslight about the amount of hacking and cheating on the PC platform?

Nothing and I mean NOTHING compares to the current state of Grand Theft Auto: Online. The cheating is more rampant and frequent there than it was in Diablo 1 when they started selling cheats in the loving Wal-Mart. On PC it's a sometimes unplayable experience where every single server has at minimum a single cheater.

Worst part is they are boring cheats and everyone does the same 5 things rather than having any creativity like they did when the game came out. No more raining dogs or ferris wheel rides of doom, now it's all "Teleport everyone to one point, blow them. Put them in a cage. Drop money on them. Maybe make them drop their ammo, crash their game or gently caress their displayed level if they're feeling mean." I'm not kidding you can't go a single server without this poo poo happening. It makes me sometimes consider paying to transfer my character to PS4 just to get away from this poo poo, since modders exist but are WAYYYYYYY less common there.

The problem of course is peer to peer servers. Aim bots and wallhacks are all we had to deal with in games before companies decided to cheap out and go P2P with no oversight. That's how you get situations where "Whatever I type into my console is law, even if I'm loving with the stats of other characters" is true.
