i simply can't resist equipping the biggest heaviest weapon i can find and then if I try to use a decent shield at the same time my ankles break under the weight

Nice Van My Man posted:If you think you're too good for shields on your first playthrough of DS1 or 2 you deserve what you get! a lot of the bosses just don't seem like they're blockable, like the taurus demon, how would you block that it would be like blocking a semi truck i m h o

I found the goddamn Abyss Watchers to be my first big problem in DS3. Dudes were just destroying me, they were too fast, too hard to keep track of and there were two of them. Hard to get solid hits in. Even though I'd already beaten a few bosses that technically come after them

The aesthetics of Souls games stay true to the whole "Embers and ashes of a once glorious kingdom that now lies in ruin" theme. It's not loving Bugsnax island for Pete's Sake! The whole series is built on the idea that the world has grown dim and you are a lone spark (ember) in a gray, dim world. I saw a criticism that the color palates of DS games are bad and lacking in artistic direction. This is absurd! Yes, most of the grim, dark, muddy, washed out areas of DS are not as aesthetically vibrant as Super Mario Odyssey for example but what the heck is to be expected of a Dark Souls game. The High Wall of Lothric lies in ruins, withered zealots kneel in rags, the sky is brown and hazy. Everything is dead or dying and it's beautiful. The Prison of Hope in Latria is loving horrible. It's hard to see, enemies are tucked away behind iron maidens and gibbets, everything is black and gray and awful. It's fantastic. The burning Hirata Estate is just a big flaming mess the only colors are muddy water and burning building and it's amazing. More colors isn't necessarily better, it's a matter of using the right tool for the right job and in the case of FromSoft games dark, dirty grimy, poorly lit, faded are all the perfect tools for the job.

Even though I'd already beaten a few bosses that technically come after them a friend begged to do abyss watchers with me on pc since it was his favorite and we just clowned them hard on ps4 when i tried it solo i killed the second phase and somehow died during his death animation and put down the game to play Hitman for a few months lol i don't think i ever died to vordt and only to the dancer once on my first playthrough when i followed the advice of a note and stabbed the old woman to trigger her early. unpopular opinion: sulyvahn's outrider knights and their bosses are total chumps

It's just a PS3 with higher res textures im pretty sure there hsan't been a single console game released since the ps3/x360 era that wouldn't run just fine on those machines with some of the gameplay-irrelevant visual flair removed e: except kinect games but lol

I downloaded a game called Halo Infinite I hope it's at least ok. I'm so sick of lovely FPSes made by nobodies that don't even come close to GunZ The Duel. For fucks sake at least buy some rad licensing so I can play as Groot or something.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:It's just a PS3 with higher res textures Not entirely wrong, but half a gig of RAM was extremely constraining. By the end of their era the 360 and PS3 were really struggling at hitting playable framerates with more ambitious games, GTAV is kind of a miracle.

I think shields are cool and more games should have cool shields. Also cool perfect block mechanics and shield bashes and stuff. Bloodborne is my favorite FromSoft game but I also think shields are cool in the games that have them

Dark souls 2 had a really cool powerstance-greatshield build that looked fun but I never bothered because to even access the powerstance moveset you two specific matching shields that were both only available as low% drop from exactly 1 enemy in the entire game.

Breath of the Wild has some really cool shield mechanics, they just don't get much use when you can abuse the physics tools to send all your enemies into space instead

Harrow posted:I think shields are cool and more games should have cool shields. Also cool perfect block mechanics and shield bashes and stuff. I usually play those games rolling around as much as possible, but I've never been above whipping the shield off my back and blocking when it makes it easier. Some of the enemies are straight up designed to be blocked over being juked. The whole anti shield rhetoric of Souls fans is annoying and it's embarrassing that they think not using shields makes them look cool or something. Also the shield mechanics in Dark Souls are very fun.

In everspace 2 I have to shoot nerdy ray guns at enemies to take out their shields before I can grind them down with my macho machine guns. gently caress shields.

Old World is a better Civ game than Civ 6 or Humankind. Sadly it is not a better Crusader Kings game.
